What People Are Saying About Pickwick & Frolic Restaurant

In Short – This two-tiered, Victorian-inspired spot brings white-linen dining, sassy martinis and laughter to the historic Cleveland Opera House site. Downstairs, a 425-seat comedy club offers post-Leno, but pre-sitcom, stand-up acts. Power diners appreciate the club atmosphere upstairs, while stylish patrons prefer the sleek Saarinen chairs in the lounge. Wood-fired fare, such as flatbread pizza, and rotisserie chicken served with the house "porridge" (a hearty cheddar-ale soup) headline the rustic American menu in the dining room. –
Poor Service and Food at Pickwick and Frolic!
by AJingle
The service and food was terrible. We waited for 25 minute in a semi empty dinning room just for the waitress to come to our table. Then the food took for ever to show up . the quality of the food was at best questionable, almost without exception, Very bland. It looked and tasted like food from a cheep buffet left sitting out too long.
The waitress attitude was one of indifference, She seemed more interested in talking to her coworkers than our table. Overall the experience left us feeling frustrated and cheated. What was supposed to be a special night turned out to be a big disappointment.
We will never return to Pickwick and Frolic!.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Poor Service and Bad Food
Menu food was good, stay away from the Sunday brunch
by traceyTgirl
Lunch from the menu was good when I went. I was disappointed in the Sunday brunch however. It wasn't that great of a choice and they wouldn't cut the roast beef. I noticed long lines developed continuously when new people came in. For that price I thought that was pretty cheap of them.
Great service, fun, warm atmosphere and SOMETHING different to do!!!!

I have been to Pickwick & Frolic Restaurant and Club two times now and both have been great experiences. The first time, we just went and enjoyed an ABSOLUTELY hilarious comedian at Hilarities comedy club (which is right inside and downstairs). This made us want to come back and we did, about a week or two before Christmas and had a nice dinner (their meatloaf was excellent and very hearty and their warm flatbreads and dip were extraordinary!) After dinner, we went downstairs to their (absolutely fabulous and beautiful martini bar) and cabaret. The SHOW WAS FANTASTIC! The performance was more like something you would see at a Las Vegas cabaret and something rarely experienced in Cleveland, Ohio. I highly recommend their Christmas show, it was wonderful with good drinks (try their Moscato wine!) and a nice atmosphere. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and we'll definitely be back, perhaps converting more of our friends to "Pickwick and Frolickers!"
- Pros: Very unique and beautiful atmoshere, not often seen in Cleveland.
- Cons: None!
