Absolutely loved Easter dinner. The atmosphere was delightful, the service impeccable, and the food was simply divine. From the beautifully decorated tables to the mouthwatering array of dishes, every detail was perfect. Can’t wait to go back.

First time dining here. Everything from the food to the service was outstanding. I had the rib eye which was amazing! The calamari appetizer is a must have. We will definitely be back.

Rachel was our server and she was fabulous. She made great recommendations and we enjoyed everything. The halibut special and the ricotta gnocchi were our favorite dishes of the evening, but really everything was great.
Nestled in the Cuyahoga Valley, LockKeepers opened in 1992 in a tiny historic building with one simple objective: serve the highest quality food with love, care and hospitality like you would offer in your own home. Thirty years later, LockKeepers occupies a stunning arts-and-crafts style building located between the Erie Canal and the Cuyahoga River. Voted one of the best Cleveland restaurants by locals, LockKeepers prides itself on service marked with sincerity and a smile. Modern in approach and Italian in spirit, we welcome you whether you're seeking a destination, everyday or special event restaurant. Our owners' Italian heritage is reflected in the menu, which features handmade pasta, hand-cut steaks, chops and seafood.
Polished wood, plush carpet and elegant but comfortable décor welcome guests to LockKeepers. The menu features a myriad of house-made Italian fare (think pastas, rich sauces and freshly baked breads and pastries) alongside steaks, chops and seafood. Start with the beef carpaccio drizzled with white truffle oil. Then refresh your palate with the salad of heirloom tomatoes. Follow it with an al dente pasta: lobster-filled ravioli topped with a creamy lobster sauce, limoncello fettuccine surrounded by shrimp, spring onions and asparagus, or lasagna. We also recommend the veal Marsala and long-bone pork chops. For dessert, there's oft-changing gelati and sorbetti, but the tiramisu is a must-have mainstay. LockKeepers' wine list is well crafted. Cocktails are handcrafted using traditional and specialty techniques and ingredients, resulting in libations such as the basil peach Bellini. Table service is educated, friendly and efficient. In the summer, enjoy the views from the patio or reserve one of the private spaces, including a sommelier room for intimate meals.
