The Venue Bistro and Wine Bar

Nice atmosphere. Great service. Dinner portions are just right. I would recommend

If I could give this place no stars, I would. It’s cold, sterile and the wine selection is lacking. The food is nothing more than a Panera Bread chain quality. To make matters worse, the parking lot is so dangerous. They have these poles that are sticking out of the ground, beware. Save your money, this place sucks

Just what Parma Hts needed! Why drive downtown? Great atmosphere. Awesome menu. Great steaks and pasta. Something for everyone. This is a giant step up from anything on the westside! I really loved the live music as well as the food. I have gone around 6 times. Cant wait to go back.

Visited the place when it had just opened. Althoug they did not have a cocktail menu it was a full bar which kind of worked out. I’ve tried the salad and flatbread which were both decent but not great! Another time I visited to see if there had been any improvement in their food unfortunately the pasta I had was a tad too oily — like I could literally see a thick layer of oil over the pasta even the pasta sauce was floating on it! My husband had ordered a sandwich which was a tad to dry and hard for him as compared to the usual sandwiches. The first Time there was live music too which we enjoyed! The outdoor seating, ambience and bar is good but the food not so much!

We decided on the Venue for a quick dinner and drinks before going to see the Cleveland orchestra. The décor is odd, parts are very nice and modern and others seem sterile and unfinished. Drinks started out rough. One friend just got ginger ale and they only filled the glass half full? I ordered a white sangria, they may need to look this one up. Never have I ever had orange juice in my wine. We order some appetizers and flatbreads to share, and the food was pretty good. I would go back and sit on the patio with a cold beer.

So cute. A Lakewood style wine bar outside of Lakewood. Delicious food, very nice staff and inexpensive. Will be back :)

The Venue Bistro is a great place! My husband and I went there on a rainy Friday night and one of the first things I noticed was an amazing patio area with an awesome fireplace. What a bummer it was raining though, right? Nope not at The Venue Bistro… part of the patio is covered so there were still people able to sit outside and enjoy the evening, the fire and the cool weather. The inside of the building has a variety of seating options, they have comfy, quaint areas with couches designed for those who just want to come and have some drinks and small plates, there’s a section with dining tables for those of us who want to eat a full meal then there is a huge banquet area for all your major events and celebrations! The space is really big. The evening we went there was live music which was a nice touch again for people who are just hanging out and want to have a chill relaxed evening. Now let me talk about the most important part… THE FOOD! Don’t let the smaller menu fool you, the food is amazing! It is fresh and perfectly executed. The small plates are the perfect size to share but the entrée blew my mind. My husband has a pasta dish, fresh pasta I might add, which was so amazing I kept stealing bites from his plate. Now I had the special… a pork chop with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Uh pork chop? Yeah I don’t normally get excited over a pork chop but I seriously could have cuddles up in front of a fire with this pork chop. It’s was absolutely mouth watering and amazing. It had an amazing glaze on it and was cooked perfectly. We also shared a bottle of wine, which their wine selection is pretty awesome too and I love wine so I was very happy with the options. We also had a trio of cheesecake which all three were amazing but if they have the peanut butter one when you go guy one to eat there and to take home because later in the night you’re gonna want another piece. The service was also amazing. Water glasses were always filled and my wine glass always had wine in it. The General Manager even stopped at our table to see how everything was! We were impressed. We don’t live in the area, we were in town visiting family :) and tried out The Venue Bistro and were 100% satisfied. Next time we are in the area we will definitely go again!!! Well Done Venue Bistro!

This is a quite a gem for Cleveland suburbia. While the food is not 5 stars, everything else about this place is. First, service was fantastic and the wait staff was very sweet and attentive. As for wine, I had the house white zinfandel which was delicious — sweet, but not too sweet. Plus, they fill your glass up all the way — no skimping on wine portions! The ambiance of the place is wonderful. Spacious with high ceilings and simple contemporary décor. They also have an outdoor patio. My favorite part was the little nook with a fireplace and leather chairs nearby. How often to you get to sit next to a FIREPLACE these days?! My friend and I had a cozy evening next to the fireplace while listening to live music. And the live music was a lovely touch — not too overwhelmingly loud and one could request songs off a list. Finally, the prices here are very affordable.
The food, as I mentioned, was just average. The stuffed portabella was decent and the bacon wrapped artichoke hearts were strange and not to my liking. In the end though I had a lovely evening here and there aren’t too many places like this in the ‘burbs, so I definitely recommend it to others.

The Venue exceeded my expectations!
A friend and I enjoyed flat breads and $ 4 vino on The Venue’s beautiful patio. It was a Saturday and there was fantastic live music.
I’d definitely recommend The Venue to anyone around the Parma area and beyond!

Went to The Venue Bistro 8÷20÷2015 for a business dinner. Group sat outside on the beautiful patio area. Food was very good. Group shared Sausage & Ricotta flatbread, stuffed Prosciutto Rolls, and Stuffed Portabellos before entre. All were very good. The service team at The Vendur Bistro was excellent Checking on the table at the right moments. Only thing that I would hope tey work on is the music sound system a bit loud and had to talk loud to hear each other when the act was playing.

Atmosphere is nice, friendly staff but still to new. They seemed overwhelmed when it busy and the place inside feels empty and underwhelming (like it needs more places to sit i.e. more sofas, causal seating not tables). The wine list was ok but I would like to see better wines not a list of wines I can go pick up at Giant Eagle myself. Our server was very nice, friendly, and made recommendation on the small plates for us. If Unilocal allowed half stars it would get 3.5 from me but I wasn’t ready to give it 4. I will definitely be back to check it out again.

Terrible in every way! Never use this place for an event or dining. Very below average.

Service was awesome! I had prosciutto bruschetta and wild mushroom bruschetta (both very good and perfect small plate size). My toddler was with me and was fully entertained by the rocks on the patio. Chilled to classic rock playing (CCR, Fleetwood Mac, etc.) while sipping on a red blend called «Dark Horse» (I feel sooo Katy Perry). This is a welcoming addition to Parma Heights. I Will certainly come back for a late evening visit to sit by the fire, sip and nibble

My wife and I stopped by on a Saturday night. First the space. The place is contemporary and tidy with lots of room. The service was excellent and our waiter was very helpfull with drink selections and menu suggestions. We had a flatbread with artichoke and feta as an appetizer. It was delicious. We also each ordered a pasta bowl. Mine was a with shrimp and a creamy sauce with just a hint of spice. Hers had chicken. We both loved out food. The food prices were very affordable, and if we hadn’t had drinks as well we could easily have dined for under 35 bucks including tip. That said the drinks were also fairly priced depending on your desire. Not sure if they have a full service bar, but we each tried a couple wines or craft brews. There was a live musician on the patio. He was entertaining and engaging and not intrusive loud. I may have found myself singing along to Neil Diamond at one point. All in all this was a nice night out and I will definitely recommend this place to feiends.

Loved this place it had amazing prices! We tried multiple items on the menu — mushroom bruschetta was Devine! Very affordable and cute inside with the fireplace. We will be back for sure!

First time here tonight and we were impressed! The server was super nice and knowledgeable about the menu items and the wine. The patio was such a nice place to sit and relax on a summer evening with their beautiful fireplace outside blocking the view of the busy street and the live music coming from inside. The food was very good, fresh and reasonably priced. I will definitely be back!

This place was the perfect middle class classy. It’s a beautiful place with great service and food but at a very affordable price. Awesome patio with a beautiful fireplace. Glasses of wine range from $ 4 to $ 8 and they fill them to the brim! No skimpy half glass. The food is all fresh in fact the server told us the owner is building a greenhouse to grow their own produce in the back. They have music every night thurs through Sunday. I can definitely see making this a frequent spot. There’s lots of great bars in Parma but it’s nice to have something different and a little nicer like a wine bar!

Incredibly friendly staff, nice drink specials and really great small bites,
especially the flatbreads and sandwiches.

This place is a beautiful building. Great concept. However, they do not know how to run a restaurant. Not open for lunch, and very short hours when they are open. I pass it by everyday and know one is every there.

The staff is friendly (perhaps too friendly as they work to define the culture of this new restaurant), the food is very well made and priced reasonably considering the quality. The place also has a great atmosphere and true to their name, a decent wine selection. Why only three stars then? I’m always here with someone else as wine bars aren’t exactly my thing (due to their lack of, you know, beer). If you’re in to wine bars and great casual food then feel free to add a star or two.
