“My favorite place in Cleveland. 😍. Plus they have my favorite burger and fries with roasted garlic 🤤🤤🤤“

“very cool place, would definitely go again“

“This bar has great potential. We went last December (2024) and absolutely LOVED the decor and atmosphere. It’s not a huge place but it’s clean and has a great vibe. The downside…overpriced and the food selections are skim. We ordered a turkey sandwich and it came with 1 slice of turkey on it. Hopefully they’ve worked out the kinks since then. Overall great place!“

“Well made drinks & cold beer- nothing fancy going on here, has a pool table a couple of dart boards, Ohio lottery machines a few TVs. A well-stocked bar of hard liquor & pitchers of beer on sale certain days. This is a drinking/ playing/ forget about the world type bar. There's a Subway and pizza place in same plaza if you want food tho“

“Great place to catch a break! Nice drink selection and great staff! It’s a nice little bar to go to, enjoy ☺️“

“high end atmosphere. wonderful food. great service. downside.. no Chardonnay for my friend.“

“Went for dinner and got to enjoy the patio. Staff was attentive and kind. Food is absolutely delicious. Pulled pork was moist and I’m going to say the best I have ever had. Sauces were also great. We will definitely be back!“

“So many enjoyable aspects! I really wanted to love the broccoli melt, and perhaps my comments are limited to my experience ... the hoagie roll was several steps beyond a nice chew. It was hard. And the roasted broccoli was just barely roasted. Will try again. With those two adjustments, I am sure it is outstanding.“

“We had my mom’s 90th birthday party with 28 guests at the Westlake location this morning. Because we are regulars there, Nick the manager bent the rules a wee bit to allow us to have the back area, near the bar for our party right at opening time on a Saturday. The service by wait staff Mary and Lauren was fabulous, every one of us LOVED our food and your hospitality was off the charts! Thank you again for allowing us to have this 90th in the best of all places for our youngest family member (age one) and all the way up! Love, love, love Kitchen Social. Ps. My pimento burger and ceasar salad were ‘da bomb’!“

“Explored the creative cocktail menu and everything was excellent. Service was attentive.“

“the inside is amazing very nice authentic the food is spectacular huge portions will continue to frequent this newer establishment“

“My friend and I went there last night for my birthday. The food was amazing!! Everything we ordered was just delicious. Meals were paced out perfectly in between. All the plates were a good portion for the shareable experience. We ordered first was the tuna crostini and the lamb hummus. Both by far amazing! The hummus was the best hummus I have ever had!! (Side note. The chef came over and told us that there is this wrap on HH during the week, we will def be back for it!) Second was the zucchini plate on top of a ricotta puree. Amazing! Not sure how he cooked it, but it was crisp and delightful! Then we had this fried Idaho potato! 🥔 literally the biggest potato I have ever seen. Topped with a feta, chives and creme fraise, sided with a homemade sriracha. Just yum!!! Then finally, aged and cooked to perfection, a hangar steak. 🥩 sliced for sharing with a salad on the side. It was amazing! The chef did a great job on presentations, food, and that steak is to die for! Also didn’t mention on yummy the cocktail menu is!!! 5/5 would visit again to try more items! I might even order that hummus tonight again for takeout! 🫶🫶🫶“

“I tried this place for the first time and EVERYTHING was amazing!!! The decor when you walk in. I came on a Thursday and they have karaoke night ! I thought that was cool and I didn’t know this initially. I came for the restaurant/rooftop. We went upstairs and they had a good playlist of songs , the food was amazing !!!! Absolutely delicious. I order the fire roasted shrimp as appetizer and it was so good when the veggies !! Although it said fire it wasn’t hot at all. It was Made just right . I ordered the chicken and waffles as my entree . Chicken was cooked perfect and the hot honey syrup was good as well . We also order the BBW wings and fries which were good too. I tried the green apple slushy mixed with the peach one and added my choice of liquor ! Delicious!!! Our sever Tone was great ! I will definitely be back. It’s a LBGTQ restaurant and they have drag brunch on Sundays ! I’ll be going to check it out . I’ve always wanted to go to one and now I do ??“

“I've had the pleasure of visiting Gather FOOD & DRINK twice, and each experience has been fantastic! The staff is incredibly welcoming, the food is delicious, and the ambiance is perfect for relaxing. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!“

“Invited to brunch from my friends for the first time. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess. Once seated our bartender/ server, Darion K. readily welcomed us! He gave us the history of the restaurant, details on drinks and venue. Our food was served hot and with great presentation which was all prepared by an awesome chef! Sadly we forget the person behind the scene who does the preparation! I will return and spread the word! God bless them all!“

“We had a party of 7 and lizzy was our waitress. She did an excellent job serving us with it only being her 3rd day on the job.“

“My boyfriend and I decided to finally try Rood on Valentine's Day after wanting to go for the past few years we've lived in Lakewood. I am not exaggerating when I say this was one of the best experiences and meals we have EVER had. Aside from the food, you could tell the staff really cared to ensure customers had an amazing experience. Will DEFINITELY be going back!“

“Solid food. Beef carpaccio was good. The dressing was really nice. Smash burger was also good. The potatoes that came with it were cooked perfectly, and the garlic ranch dressing for dipping was amazing. Ordered two wood fired pizza as well. Nice, fresh, fluffy dough. We would definitely come back“

“I stopped in over the summer with my sister for lunch and we were so glad we did, food was absolutely amazing! I told my boyfriend after we have to go there, it is so good! Took him yesterday for his birthday, we are both still talking about it today. He told me he told multiple people at work about it and has been thinking about your cannolis all day and I have been too, best I've ever had. Ever single thing from cocktails to dessert to atmosphere is absolutely amazing, I, we cannot brag about you guys enough! Classy cocktail menu, the char sour and classic old fashioned are a must try. You're selection of bourbon for bourbon lovers is top notch too! Last the food, beet salad, lobster rolls, cassoulet pie are to die for 🤌 have to talk about the cannolis again, one pistachio and one chocolate chip, don't snooze on those if you go! My biggest compliments to the chef. We will definitely be back.“

“Had an absolute great time! The vibe was great, and it’s the perfect date night setting. We had a delicious meal brought out to us by our server, Gabby, who was very kind and fun. After dinner, we had a friendly competition of mini golf, with fun courses and differing levels of difficulty. Would definitely recommend making reservations for both dinner and golf beforehand to make your time smoother.“

“A truly unique and amazing place. Food is phenomenal. Prohibition style cocktails are wonderful. Live entertainment is always great. Staff is awesome!!“

“Hands down one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. Huge thank you to Chef Dereck for crafting such incredible dishes, and to Barbara for the impeccable service from start to finish.

We were lucky enough to experience the magic of Kyuu-juu during their pop-up at Bad Medicine and it only made us even more excited for their brick-and-mortar home to open.

If you’re thinking about trying one of Cleveland’s newest restaurants, don’t hesitate. Set that date. Make that reservation. Eat, drink, and be merry at what we now consider one of the best spots in The Land!“

“Relaxing atmosphere and great food.“

“WRD was truly a fantastic experience. As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted and seated, we did get a reservation because it was Valentines day, but people next to us didn't and got seated pretty quickly on a Saturday. As soon as we were seated menus hit the table and waters were on the table before our server was there to tell us the specials. They have a happy hour everyday that they are open which included ¢0.50 wings that was fantastic. We spilt the burger and fried chicken sandwich, both were seasoned and cooked well. The vibes were casual, warm, and clean! Also, I got the Moscow Mule ($8 during happy hour) which comes with their own vodka and its was delicious. I don't drink a lot, but if I do I enjoy vodkas. I can truly say this is the best vodka I have had. I will buy a bottle when I host a party. This was our first time here and we will become regulars. We are going back in a couple weekends with family before seeing a show.

Also parking lot in the back that is big for Lakewood!!!“

“The food was amazing! Service was a C. Slow - we were the only ones in there. I asked for our bill & the waiter brought a credit card machine. I said, where is my bill and he says if you don’t trust me, then I’ll print it out. He prints out my bill, but when I went to the register, it was a different amount. Make sure you take cash or they charge you an additional 3%.“

“Great food! Jalapeño burrito is where it’s at“

“I Celebrate my 60th Birthday at Salmon Dave’s (3/15).For my entrée had the Pecan crusted Grouper dinner.. It was great. The atmosphere was nice and our waitress (Bird) was the best.. We will return.“

“Best authentic food and great customer service“

“It was really nice and cozy! It went for the happy hour and it was nice!!! I really like the items on the happy hour menu! I definitely wanna get a igloo next! Nice spot for a date or solo dolo excursions! Glad I tried it and I'll definitely be back for an igloo dinner.“

“I had Lexi tonight in Crocker Park. She was extremely knowledgeable and her service was top-notch! The food and the wine were fantastic 😍 I will be back.“

“We got the quesa burria tacos and pambazo sandwich. Both were outstanding and delicious. Portions generous. Margaritas were strong and tasty. Employees were kind and accommodating. Will definitely be back!“

“I just wanted to say I was in your restaurant yesterday before my flight and I just have to say your manager Jen I even wrote down her name she was helping her staff out so much, cleaning off tables and really keeping the place clean!! I went to that other place down the hall and I wouldn’t let my dog eat in there not one clean table and the floor was gross!!!! But this Jen lady really kept her restaurant clean and helping her staff! I called her over and told her as well what a great job she was doing oh and she even helped me cash out at my table with that code my sever told me to use. I definitely will be back when I’m in Cleveland again and I hope to see Jen and her staff! Thank you!“
