Coming April 5, 2012 ~ New Spring Menu ~ $5.00 Noodle Bowls Daily ~ 1/2 Priced Sushi Thursdays! Check back soon for more details!

"The service here is polished without seeming stilted. The bar and wait staff are prompt and polite, effortlessly listing off daily specials or suggesting wine and drink pairings for various entrées. They know their stuff, but they’re not going to hit you over the head with it. Establishments of similar quality might take a more pompous, I-know-better-than-thou vibe. The servers at Dragonfly are simply here to ensure you have the best possible experience."

Patrick Mayock, MetroMix

"West 25th has been stealing partyers away from the Warehouse District for a while now. But, man, Dragonfly Lounge looks as if it could steal them away from Las Vegas."

- John Petkovic, The Plain Dealer

"Ownr Jeff Allison's vision for Dragonfly merges a night on the town with a night at a fine restaurant. The dramatic Ohio City space is the perfect backdrop to enjoy deftly crafted classic cocktails. When hunger strikes, smack it back with an assortment of fine sushi, or pull out the big guns and go for a thick, juicy Delmonico steak. Reasonable prices keep the emphasis on value."

"Over the seven years since he opened the Garage, Allison watched the neighborhood mature into a solid entertainment district, catering as much to foodies as to roof-raisers. The vision for Dragonfly, Allison's latest venture, was one that seamlessly merged the two: a swanky Vegas-style lounge serving upscale food. "

"Let's start with The Last Word ($8). A Prohibition-era cocktail expertly crafted by the barkeep at Dragonfly Lounge on West 25th Street, it's equal parts gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur and freshly squeezed lime juice. Together, those ingredients make up a divinely complex drink. And it goes great with steak. "
