StraberryMartiniAccording to Positively Cleveland "The Chocolate Bar has Great food, world classdesserts and one of the nation's top martini menus. Perfect for lunch, dinner, before and after events or any special occasion."
This is a great location for a restaurant. It is situated inside one of Cleveland's classic buildings and looks out into one of its nicest new neighborhoods. From the front window you can look down beautiful East 4t st., and the back window looks into the classic Arcade.  It is situated inside one of Cleveland's classic buildings and looks out into one of its nicest new neighborhoods. They have done an excellent job designing this restaurant. The itself Bar has a trendy new feel and the restaurant area has a touch of classic elegance mixed in.
For this review I meet with some of the Top social Media celebrities in Cleveland. There is a reason so many people follow them on Twitter, Facebook and Linked; They have great personalities and have incredible knowledge. I felt like I could have kept talking to them for another 4 hours. It ended up being one of my favorite nights of the year. When you go keep an open mind and prepare to be impressed.
Spinach & Artichoke Dip On Pita the Spinach and artichoke dip is served in a bread bowl with fried peta. The dip is a combination of Cheese artichoke and spinach. It has a much creamier texture than I am used to.

Dennis The spinach and artichoke dip, is creamier than I am used to, very good, comes in a bread bowl with fried pitta.
Colleen Fabulous!
