Restaurant Europa

Everything was delicious and fresh! The flavors were excellent. The garlic in the escargot was delectable. The beet salad was amazing. The grape leaves had so much meat in them and the sauce was full of flavor. Both of our entrees were wonderful. The stuffed cabbage was some of the best I have had with not a lot of filler and the ahi tuna was so fresh and light and the dipping sauce had great depth of flavor. Prices were reasonable. There were plenty of gluten free menu items clearly marked to choose from. We will definitely be back to try more things!

Came here with 3 other girlfriends this past weekend and loved it! I never noticed this spot before because it's kind of tucked into the strip mall on the traffic circle. Europa has an extensive tapas list, appetizer list and entrée list. We all loved the variety and the Russian flavors. Some of the tapas were a bit basic--toast, cheese, apple but presentation was still cute. The space is quite interesting and the decor is on the random side. They have a basement bar and larger reserved area downstairs. Service was friendly but slow. Would come back here to try the fun-looking entrees!

Service is fantastic, ambiance is great, staff is friendly, food is great, and prices are spot on. Their food is overly buttered or creamed so not the healthiest but I get that it adds flavor. I would play traditional European music also would add to the theme. Great restaurant.

Delicious as usual! We ordered through Grubhub and the food came fast and was still hot. The flavors were very good. The vegetables were cook to perfection and very seasoned but not salty. The pasta wasn't overcooked. I will order from here again! We ordered the Pastry but they didn't have it. The restaurant call right away to alert us and offered another item. Kudos to great customer service!

This restaurant was highly recommended to me by my hairstylist. She said she visits many times on a Friday. She has dinner upstairs and afterwards will go downstairs to dance Salsa. Every Friday would come and go and I've never had an opportunity to go. Today was the say and I was going to make sure we were able to go. There was a big group before us, after that we just were one of three couples inside the restaurant. It was great as Sue the waitress was able to discuss all my dietary restrictions and find the perfect dish for me. I had the Russian Pork Chops (Schnitzel). It was so good. For dessert I had Russian Cheesecake. It actually came from Russia! It's shipped to New York and to the restaurant. We had some picture fun at the Vodka Room. It was -12 degrees, I'm glad I put on a fur coat. We sat down at the bar to have a Moscow Mule. It was very good. The Salsa dancing starts at 8 pm or so. They teach Salsa for $5 until around 9 pm. At that time the DJ's start their music and the party starts. You see the seasoned dancers start dancing first and other people start to join. Although we left around 9:30 pm it was up to that point a nice experience.

AMAZING!!!!!!!! Everything here is awesome from the food to the service. The French onion soup is the best I've ever had. My husbands vegetable pasta rivals any Italian restaurant. The three cheese chicken & sliced potatoes were just fabulous. The bread OMG the bread, warm & crusty & delicious. The prices are incredible. The staff treats you like family. I don't understand why it's so quiet here. People should be standing on their heads trying to get in.

What an interesting place. To be honest, we came here primarily to check out the "Ice Bar," where you wear one of their fur coats and have a drink inside freezing temperatures. Be ready - it looks much grander in the photos, but it's essentially an upcycled meat freezer with frozen taxidermy. It's fun to try once, but keep realistic expectations if you're popping in there to do a shot (which you should do).Russian food is an acquired taste, in my opinion. I came in with a group of people and we tried the family style menu so we could sample a bit of everything. This included several cold salads (some better than others) and appetizers as well as beef stroganoff, schnitzel and stuffed cabbage. The schnitzel was excellent and the stuffed cabbage and great flavor. I don't recommend the stroganoff, though - it was extremely plain and wet. If you want to try a bit of everything, I absolutely recommend the family style menu, and if you like Russian food, you will like it.This restaurant is also tucked in an unsuspecting corner of Pepper Pike. It looks small from the outside, but once you enter, it is quite large and extends back very far. They also offer private dining and you can make reservations easily online. Overall, a place to come to if you enjoy Russian food, even if it wasn't fully for me.

Feeling adventurous and like we have tried it all already, we chose this place (well, I chose this place) for a Friday night after work bite with wifey. This restaurant came heavily recommended by our waitress at Lyndhurst grill for its dance parties and salsa lessons, so we (I) decided, what The hell..The drive to the restaurant was beautiful...as we only sort of got lost in Pepperpike on the way. We arrived and went inside to find the place mostly empty. There was one round table of people. Even with no one else there but us, I could tell this place is a favorite amongst Russians and other Europeans. I think the family spoke Russian and seemed very happy with their dining experience. My wife, on the other hand, was reluctant at best to stay, however after looking over the menu, she conceded and we decided not to go to the Thai restaurant a few doors down instead. We probably should have went to the Thai restaurant.Not that the food was bad, it was overall pretty good to me. My wife was feeling hella picky, I could tell... She only ordered a salad and cheese plate (she hated it but was unable to send it back for something else, so she basically ate nothing and now we have a box of strange cheeses in our fridge. I ordered from the tapas menu... Crepes stuffed with smoked salmon (pretty good), as well as a olive crustini (house marinated and absolutely delicious )As we sat, a few people came in to inquire about salsa, which was perfect because I found myself wondering where all of the dancing took place. We learned it was done in the basement. We also learned that as we sat inside, a torrential downpour was taking place outside as the lights flickered a couple of times. I imagined it was remnants of hurricane Dorian making his presence briefly in Cleveland Ohio.We paid our check just in time as the entire building went dark and quiet. We had a decision to make as we stood in the doorway, calculating the distance to the car and whether it would be safe to drive or wait it out at the restaurant. Being that we are two relatively aware young (melanated) women with a healthy imagination and penchant for a good scary movie on a stormy night... We decided it best to GET OUT and take our chances with the storm. No need to stick around to see how that plot might unfold... PEACE OUT BITCHES.Overall I thought the food was good, but I know we won't be back because basically my wife said fuck that.Oh the salty Russian is delicious.

I have been to the restaurant number of times and always a good experience. If you don't know what to eat, go for the Feast. It gives you few different salads and 2-3 main courses (depends on what you would like). As we had a large party, we did the Feast with 3 courses plus dessert. 3 main courses were - potato latkes, Grouper over rice and beef stroganoff with 2 types of potatoes (mashed and fried with mushrooms). For dessert, we did russian style cherrie ravioli (vareniki). While you are here, try one of their flavored vodka's in the vodka room!!!

Heavy and greasy food. My dinner was gross and uneatable. The Shrimp Pasta had so much oil on it I couldn't eat it. Also my twenty dollar meal features seven tiny shrimps. You know the kind that costs six dollars a pound at the grocery store. In addition, the Napoleon dessert had obviously sat in the refrigerator for a few days, and was stale and uneatable. Gross.
