Made a reservation for 5PM and we got seated quickly! My friend and I ordered a variety of dishes and everything was delicious! We got the biscuit with coconut chili butter which was absolutely amazing. The calamari had a nice crunch from a light batter with this tzatziki sauce that balanced it well. We got the squash and kale salad making it the perfect fall veggie mix and ordered the branzino with rice cake which was seasoned so well! We also ordered cocktails which were delicious and finished off the night with a cherry pie! Love how they turned an old house into a restaurant which gave it such a cozy vibe! Service was amazing and I can't wait to come back when they change their menu!

This is a great spot on the out skirts of downtown Cleveland. Read about it on Eater. Restaurant in an old Victorian house. They had nice list of cocktails and wine choices. Everything I ordered was delicious and unique. Started with an incredible salad, then duck cooked to perfection and ended with a banana cake that knocked my socks off. The staff were nice and helpful. I will return to this delicious restaurant

Delicious gourmet and beautiful American fare in a cozy old home. Attentive server and tasty cocktails. The spicy marg I had with red pepper syrup was unique and flavorful. The whole branzino was boneless and delicious atop lemon cream with fried capers. The broccolini was tasty with crumbs and on top of a red pepper sauce that had notes of citrus. Delicious and uniquely flavorful meal!

Wife and I came here in the Fall for our anniversary dinner. It was a lovely evening, so we opted to sit out on their back patio area which turned out to be a great decision. The serving team asked us if we were celebrating anything special (which we were) and returned with a complimentary champagne toast for our anniversary...what a nice touch!We decided to split a baby romaine Caesar salad and then we each ordered a main dish. My wife loved her halibut with a smoked pepper glaze atop a sweet corn puree and a side of grilled asparagus. Seeing the open-air grill when we entered their outdoor patio area, I opted for the char-grilled flank steak served with potatoes and asparagus. It was smokey and cooked to a perfect mid-rare degree.The atmosphere and air of celebration made for a wonderful dining experience, anxious to come back and sample other items from their menu!

We finally made it to Poppy and were not disappointed. We went for their holiday bar pop-up, which is hosted in the cute back barn area they have, which is a bit chilly but is being warmed by some extra heaters in the space. The charm of the ambiance more than makes up for a few chills.The drink menu for the holiday season is excellent. I went with the coquito, a sort of Puerto Rican egg nog-type deal but that gets all of its creaminess from coconut cream. It was boozy and delicious. My husband got a drink off of the regular menu called put 'em up, put 'em up and was impressed (yes, I am here for the Wizard of Oz themed drink names). We also ordered two small dishes - a salad with currants and butternut squash that was knock-out and a smoked trout dip - very yummy.We didn't make any reservations to go to the pop-up bar and we were seated quickly and served efficiently. The pop-up is first come first served, but if you're going to sit in the main restaurant its fairly clear you'll need a reservation or very good luck. Can't wait to go back to try a full sit down experience.

We tried poppy finally, after driving by weekly we booked for my wife's birthday. We arrived and were greeted by the staff and they were very kind and sat us right away. We did make reservations. The whole restaurant was warm and inviting. The converted home is very quaint. The server was awesome and made the experience even better. The food from the appetizer to the desert was exceptional. I highly recommend Poppy!

First time here and top notch experience. I thought the cocktails especially were really refined and thoughtful - they're also Oz-themed :-)My favorite was a dill infused vodka martini with celery bitters and Dolin blanc for the vermouth. The balance of the sours and the vermouth (the blanc - mind you not the "dry" / white or "sweet" / red vermouth) has a sweet taste profile and was excellent.Food was excellent as well - both the lamb burger and the beef cheeks hash were top notch.Service was personable, attentive, and helpful. Patio is great - massive wood fired oven. Needless to say, we are coming back for dinner (already booked). Can't wait!

Signage was poor for this place and I had to really look in the courtyard area to know this was Poppy. No parking lot but there was plenty of street parking. It's in a little house with creaky floorboards but very Tremont/Coventry-esque. The staff is pretty friendly and attentive. Menu was attractive and pricey but not crazily so. Like Salt, they do small plates but I found that the variety was better. The flavors, quality of the food, cut of the protein were quite excellent. While the portions weren't huge, they were realistic. My bill for myself came up to almost $60 for 1 app + 1 entree but I left full and satisfied. I ordered the octopus small plate and the duck entree. Both were delicious.

Very nice evening at Poppy's. We stopped at their winter bar behind the back of the restaurant for a quick drink. They have fun winter drinks that you can't get on the regular restaurant menu. I got the lamb burger and cauliflower starter for my dishes. We also ordered two slices of sourdough bread for ($1 each) to wipe up the extra cauliflower sauce. It was really tasty! Also the lamb burger was really flavorful with sweet potatoes fries. The feta cheese on the burger was really good too! Would love to come back and try other dishes. Lastly, parking is only street parking or parallel parking. So be weary of that!

Spring is finally here and Poppy has bloomed on Larchmere! While the outside is the same residential building from Felice days, the inside is newly polished but still vintage cozy. Plants are being nurtured in every corner (yes, even in the restroom) and thrive in the covered porch area where you could almost convince yourself you're just sitting at your neighbor's. We came for the first lunch service and everything ran like a well-oiled machine. Chef Parkison herself was part of the welcome party as diners arrived. Inside, the atmosphere is classy and casual, certainly dressed down from Salt+, but the service and food are enough to impress. Classic rock was the soundtrack while we perused the simple but enticing menu, which our server Samantha explained was all made from scratch in the kitchen (except from the bread sourced from On the Rise). We snagged a window seat with huge pillows and were immediately offered filtered water. The menu is in the flavor of Salt+ with a mix of vegetable, seafood, and land meats, including some cocktails imported directly from the old menu, but there's also more entree style dishes near the bottom of each list. A variety of seating exists for intimate tables for two or larger groups. Selecting our food was no easy feat as Samantha genuinely loves food and waxed poetic about everything, but we didn't feel pressured to order. Everything we ordered was fantastic, with perfect consistency and cook - the Potato Leek Fritters set the stage, the Scallops were plump and delicate, and Lamb Burger perfectly juicy. With the housing refresh, you can peek into the kitchen where food was efficiently prepped and whisked to each table - you can't help but get food envy while watching plates pass. We even gushed about how warm and toasty the bathroom was (a pleasant experience in the winter), and I was pleased to see the vintage bookcase in the bathroom was not only delicately adorned with paintings of poppies, but stocked with feminine hygiene products. Poppy's not done growing yet either - when warmer months arrive, supposedly the outdoor patio area will transform into a speakeasy style bar, Etta, for over 100. And will remain open year-round for your east-side cocktail fix.
