And now that I’ve gone through the routine of getting any reader to ignore what I have to say so that I can write in peace, here’s my review of Cibo’s:

Jimmy’s is relatively new to the area and I had gone in with my mother for lunch some few weeks ago, and resolved to go back with the review crew. I called ahead and spoke to Jimmy about accommodations because i did have some reservations about seating for our ample bellied selves. He was quick to assure me there would be plenty of room and looked forward to seeing us. When we arrived, we had a series of tables in a row reserved for us and the waitress was on the ball. The place, which as far as eateries in Belden Village go, is small and it was hopping but she kept us happy and put up with us. It wasn’t so loud to be obnoxious, though I have a feeling some of the other patrons around thought -we- might of been! I had the manicotti, which was very very good – the noodles were home made even. My only complaint was that when we were done, I was still a little hungry! Cost wise, it’s very good for what you get. Overall, a good experience and I would be glad to go back. Staff and owner alike are very friendly and eager to sit down with you and chat.

John’s is a local haunt that’s been around a good long time. They’re known for steaks and seafood and of course, alcohol. I had been there before with family awhile ago so it was nice to go back. The decor of the place is pretty standard – wood and low but ample lighting. The main restaurant is sectioned off from the main bar which helps to cut down on noise. The tables we were seated at were pushed together to make one long table but there seemed to be enough room for our group. The service was good, if I recall and I had a rack of ribs and my god, what a rack it was. I couldn’t finish it, that’s for sure. The over all cost of the meal was expected, a little on the expensive side but it is considered fine dining in the area. I wouldn’t mind trying lunch there some time.

When we first arrived, it was easy to see that the place was busy. They boast having 30 screens to watch various sports events on – so yeah. We expected it to be busy. I was told by the passing waitress that until the game was over, they couldn’t seat such a large group (of 10).
As I was about to call Amy and inform her that there was only 3 minutes on the clock, which means the game had just started – the manager came by and said that it was our lucky night. A group was leaving and they had a table for us. Within 5 more minutes we were seated. The decor was interesting, sporting the trademark rooster everywhere along with quirky signs that read things like “God must love stupid people, he made so many” and “Help keep our streets clean, wipe your feet before you leave”. The wood was all nice and polished and the ceilings were vaulted. Nice to look at but very bad for sound. It was loud. We don’t like loud.
The waitress, one of many who served us, asked us to remember an assigned number so that she would remember what check to put our orders on. I’m sorry but a good waitress can remember what her tables order. You don’t say “hey, you’re number one and you guys are number two, remember that so I get it right”. We also had to ask her for things she forgot a number of times. It took almost 45 minutes for Amy to get her martini.
The food. Being a place that advertises they are “the place for wings”, I was seriously disappointed. The appetizers were very small for the price and the wing selection was limited to nine sauces that all pretty much were the same with varying degrees of hot. I had mac & cheese bites – which cost as much as Dan’s large burger. I also had the BBQ and Mild wings and a BBQ burger. The mild – was plain. There was little flavor and little spice. The BBQ sauce was, well, generic. The burger was large but just like any burger I can get anywhere in Belden Village. We sampled most of the wing sauces and the ones that were “hot” were all heat and no flavor. Very sad. $55 for two soft drinks, 35 wings, two very small appetizers and one burger. Meh.
Needless to say we ended up back at the Lizard later for dessert and more wings and drinks. Would I go back? Probably not, nor would I suggest it as a place to go on the spur of the moment. If I were with people who were going, sure, I’ll return but not on my own.
