The Overlook Restaurant

My husband and I were recently married at The Overlook and our entire experience could not have been better. My mother and sister planned the wedding and were treated extremely well by everyone there as they arranged the event. Clarissa was very helpful, accessible, and communicative. The atmosphere was elegant, the food was delicious, and all staff were so helpful, warm, and kind! We loved everything so much that we returned to the restaurant 4 days later for my mother's birthday! We look forward to having many more meals and special events at The Overlook!

The Overlook was a great venue for our wedding! Pros - A lot. Great location. Outdoors with an amazing view of East Lake. Great food. Everyone reviewing this place raves about the food and they are all true. We loved the salmon and our guests talked about the food for weeks. Flexible. Responsive. Worked with us on Covid stuff. Pricing was really good, especially compared to other outdoor venues in Ohio. We picked out The Overlook initially because we loved the outdoor area and the ability to have our wedding outdoors. Then once the COVID pandemic struck, this really worked out in our favor and we moved even more events outside like our first dance and speeches. Our wedding was in September 2020. All of our guests loved the outdoor venue and were comfortable during our wedding despite the pandemic, and we were comfortable too. We had to downsize our guest list and the Overlook was very accommodating with our required pandemic wedding changes. We had our rehearsal dinner here as well and everything went very smoothly with this. The food was awesome all weekend. Cons - The rehearsal dinner was kind of pushed back because they were hosting a wedding that was pushed back due to COVID on the same day. There was some confusion with scheduling on this date. In addition, the coordinating/planning team changed hands 2 times during the year and a half planning process. This is not a big deal if you as the bride and groom have your details together. We hired a day-of coordinator and the Overlook staff worked closely with our hired coordinator, which was very appreciated. Without our day-of coordinator, things would have been fine but we would have been concerned about many little details that he Overlook would not have covered alone.

In town for business for a few days and I wanted to try some place local & unique. I was not disappointed! Food was great and so was the staff and the atmosphere. Planning on making a trip back next month so I can bring my wife.
