“I'm running out of wonderful things to say about Valerio's. It is our favorite Italian restaurant for good reason...the food is delicious, the staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient (especially Salvatore), and the service is excellent. It's the kind of place where you feel as if you are family!“
“What a complete joy to dine at Johnny's. The welcome from first entering into the place (to Bo & Joe & all the others making us feel like they were happily waiting for us to come),, to Nate's great serving and attitude to please —to the actual awesome puttanesca with shrimp and perfectly prepared salmon....why go anywhere else on a Friday in Lent! So grateful for the night!“
“We went around 1:30pm on March7th. Food was very good. Had wine and cocktails. Service was outstanding. Female server and she was probably the best server I have ever had. I would only recommend that there were more appetizers. Bread was outstanding as well as the croissants. Vegetarian dishes were very good as well as the Broccoli melt. We were able to find parking on the street.“
“Heart of Gold has so far been the best bite to eat in Cleveland since I moved here from the South. The atmosphere is trendy but laid back with good lighting and a cute small bar. I really loved the menu design, it is very obvious that even the smallest details of this restaurant have been thought out.The overall menu has an interesting and cohesive direction that incorporates Southern and Italian food - which to me was very reminiscent of the kind of fare you'd find in a lunch spot in New Orleans - especially their Tiki drinks on offer.The service was wonderful; everyone was kind, helpful, and seemed excited about the food.We chose the Roman, the fried chicken sandwich, the waffle fries, and the onion rings with the house made ranch.The Roman is a solid sandwich where you can taste every part mentioned in the menu description. I thought all of the ingredients played well together and reminded me a bit of a muffeletta.The waffle fries were very good - I thought the everything seasoning was a very smart choice (the ridges in the fries hold the seasoning in place) and were perfect for dipping. The fry crispiness to fluffiness ratio was to me a perfect balance. My only complaint is that they tasted a little too much of oil.The onion rings were very surprising to me. They are to this date the best onion rings I've ever had. The breading was perfectly crispy and the onion stayed in place upon biting it - which is typically my main issue with onion rings. The sauce drizzled on top paired well with the sweetness with the onion, and the horsey sauce added the right amount of heat.The chicken sandwich was overall a good chicken sandwich. The bread and the maggi mayo punch above their weight and those alone make this a stand out. The chicken was crispy and perfectly cooked. I personally think the chicken itself could use a little more flavor, but again that is only my taste.I can't wait to return to this restaurant and try the other items on the menu. Don't miss out on this place.“
“I went here with my gentleman friend the other day. Loved the dogs! I also loved the rosé wine since I'm not a beer drinker. The waffle fries were to die for, especially with the cheese sauce; the menu said it's beer cheese but luckily I couldn't taste beer. The Little Gem Salad was disappointing, though; the romaine wasn't cut! You get it whole, so I had to cut it up. I had to prep my own salad! The dressing was meh, but the salmon I got with it was delicious. I'l be back...but I will skip the salad.“
“Been here a few times now and the past few times they were out of pierogies (if that doesn't tell you how good they are, I don't know what will). So I switched over to the mac n cheese (everything is vegan btw, and with most of the stuff you can't tell at all). The mac n cheese is incredible. Bartenders are always very nice, the food came out quickly and there are frequently shows, karaoke, or dollar country nights here. Pool if you're lookin' to play billiards, and the beer on tap is always great (got a two hearted IPA this time around).“
“We heard the drinks are amazing, but we ordered wine - it was good. We were celebrating a birthday and ended up seated by the kitchen - didn’t feel very special. We enjoyed the food - cauliflower appetizer - very indulgent! We also enjoyed the mussels, a shawarma wrap and a salad. Everything was good. The decor was fun and the vibe lively. I had a really hard time hearing during dinner - though the back room wasn’t full it was very loud. We didn’t linger….Vegetarian options: Salads, ravioli and a veggie burger were in the menu“
“We love Fat Cats!!! Took my partner for the first time a couple weeks ago and their mouth has been watering to go back since. My favorite dish is the steak tacos, every ingredient is so fresh and light.Cocktails never miss because the bartenders are amazing!!! Sweetest people who work hard to bring us such a 10/10 experience in Tremont.“
“Hosted a bridal shower for ~20 people. Brian & the team were amazing and so accommodating - brought everyone drinks as they needed refilled, let us bring in flowers / our own desserts. The food was a huge hit with all of the guests. Everything was perfect!!!“
“Went there for my daughter's birthday. Enjoyed a great evening. Her food came out a bit late and though we were enjoying our time, they went out of their way to make it better - they bought a round of drinks, took her dinner off the tab and gave her a "Borgata" snow cap. In addition they had the whole place sing "Happy Birthday". Couldn't have had a better time or a better group of people running the place. Can't wait to go back.“
“Went to Brick and Barrel on St. Patty’s day and it looked like a super cozy spot to drink some brews. We got their flight and sampled the different brews. They have a pizza place (different restaurant) next door that offers some delicious Italian pizza as well as other Italian food. They also had some sandwiches for St. Patty’s day! They serve some bar snacks inside and everyone is super warm and welcoming.“
“The food is fabulous.Karen Small has done it again.I adore the lamb burger and the fries. While the menu is limited don't be fooled. Every item is very carefully prepared and first class.Vegetarian options: Roasted carrots, white bean hummus and Salad are all great choices.“
“This spit is a little out of my norm, but overall is fun! The food truck on the patio is awesome. The owner farms his meat and veggies! The service is excellent by the bar staff. The techno DJ is a bit much for me(only 1 if myn2 trips was there a DJ), but otherwise a fun little "dive" bar in Asia Town!“
“January 2024: My husband and I were visiting the Cleveland area and were looking for something to do on a Wednesday night. I did a quick search of LIVE MUSIC TONIGHT and this club popped. It was their open mic night and we figured, what the heck. And we're so glad we went!At ages 59 and 69, we thought we'd be the oldest folks in the place but we were wrong. The club was packed with local musicians and music lovers of all ages and although not all of the acts were of profressional quality, it was a supportive and loving audience and much of the music was very good.If you live in the area, make it a regular stop. If visiting, add it to your MUST EXPERIENCE list of things to do.What a great little club! Rock on, Coda!“
“Love this pet friendly brewery. The food hits the spot, amazing American comfort food. The service is 10/10! Great vibes, chill atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and order the mac and cheese!!! Can't go wrong with the flights. Great beer, great food, everything you could ask for!“
“Come for a beer and shot but stay for the stories - if you're lucky enough to have a quiet afternoon when Shelia, her daughter, or her sister are behind the bar. You just might learn something about the colorful history of one of the last neighborhood joints in Tremont!“
“This past Saturday we had a party in the party room for my brother's 65th birthday. Ruta and John (owners of Pounders) were very accommodating. When we got there, the place was already set-up, a table for gifts, for desserts, for soft drinks and coffee and for the main course. The food we ordered was fresh, great, and served hot. The food is made from scratch (not from frozen or store bought). They have outstanding wings with 40 house made sauces which our attendees just gobbled up. John (not the owner), who was assigned to take care of us was very attentive to all. All in all a great place to have a party. Kudos to the owners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“
“This place was really cool. There were tons of options to choose from for all kinds of levels of gamers. They have classics like monopoly and more complex games like scythe or gloomhaven. There's a great list of menu options for food or drinks while you.play your games. We didn't use them but the staff offered to suggest games a few times which would be great if you want to try something new or aren't sure what you'd like. Overall it was a great experience after my first time and I will definitely be coming back. The only thing I would say that could be negative is the noise and the wait times since it was very busy (though we went on a Saturday evening).Parking: Parking was interesting since the the cafe is in Cleveland. Most of it is street parking or some paid lots. If you park further away, there is definitely free street parking in residential areas. Or you can pay to park closer on the street or in a lot.“
“My husband and I came on a Friday night around 8pm. It was busy and lively inside. We were told it'd be. 30-45 minute wait but we could wait at the bar. There were actually a couple bar stools open so we just ended up ordering and eating there. Our table actually only took 10 minutes to be available. We did not let our phones eat first lol, hence the bad photos. I got the shrimp basket and side salad. Shrimp was so good and the cocktail sauce tasted like they made it with the perfect amount of horse radish. My husband got the fish and chips. Fish was flaky and tender and the fries were yummy! Even though both items were fried, they didn't feel super greasy or heavy. We loved our meals and would recommend.“
“Everything about this place is top-notch! The drinks and mushroom burger were so good, and the vibe is there!! It’s a bonus that last call for food on weekends is 1am, this will definitely be my go-to spot for drinks and a late night biteVegetarian options: Mushroom burger, sides, drinks“
“Great selection of craft-brewed beers, meads, sour beers, served by knowledgeable bartenders. Delicious small selection of food in the pop up "shack" in the back...mellow unpretentious atmosphere/large tables/no TVs. If this is your scene, highly recommend!Parking: Free parking at night in the lot at Washington and Lee“
“It was a brisk evening in the city, and we were desperate to warm our souls. A few hours to spare before our concert, this was the nourishment we longed for. The music thumped and sparkled, while the room felt warm like home. Simple is king! Small food and drink menu with no complaints. I weap for the missing star: In these lean times, it would be tough to frequent.“
“This place is a hidden gem. Great beer selection on draft and excellent bourbon selection. Various fresh sausage ? from across the street.. live music and guardians games..Vegetarian options: NoKid-friendliness: NoParking: Next to and behindWheelchair accessibility: It's workable“
“We’ve been here several times, hidden little gem. Food is outstanding but tonight you outdid yourselves. We’ve been to several Clam Bakes but this one is hands down my new favorite!!! The BEST clam chowder I’ve ever tasted. We’ll be back next year and many times in between. Thank you!!“
“This is our favorite classic local bar and grill in the entire region, the history here is awesome and the ownership/leadership good people.Not only is the food excellent (best wings around but only on Wednesdays).The environment inside will amaze you.A truly “hometown haunt” where you can meet and chat with authentic and honest folks, while having the kids with you as a family weekly event. The craft beer selection is ALWAYS on point and unique.“
“Fantastic hot dog place/live music venue. Amazing hot dogs. Really nice staff. I had a vegan dog with marinated mushrooms, caramelized onion, garlic escarole, Italian giardineira, and roasted garlic aioli. It was AMAZING. Also had some fresh cut fries which were great. Tons of sauces to choose from. Will be back for sure!“
“This place use to be called the Cliffton Luncheon wayyy back when, and it was awesome then with mini jukeboxes at each table with old school feel. Now Landmark Smokehouse! Walking in you immediately feel under dressed! The view Stunning with modern lighting, Beautiful bar and Kitchen right in view! The table settings are eye pleasing and Stylish! Great views all the way around of the Cliffton/ Detroit rd intersection. I was very surprised at the updated look! And was in Awww! Now to the Food! OMG! The first time re-visting we had Breakfast, it was so good..I forgot to take pictures! Delicious Delicious Delicious! Very good portions for the money! Didn't wait long at all and the plating very eye pleasing, love the Stylish bowls. The Staff very attentive super nice and knows the menu! So good I went back for my Birthday for lunch this November 11. The pictures are in this time! I had the BLT Hubby had Sokehouse Brisket sandwiches. And OMG I can't say I've ever had one so good! It had Smojed Bacon, Ham & Turkey with Lettuce, Tomatoes. Best I ever had for real and Stacked high! I was only able to eat half! I had a side of the Mac n Cheese..OMG! Hubby's Brisket???? What can't u say, It's Smkehouse meats! Melted in your mouth Good! We both loved it, as I had to taste it for next time! I found nothing negative from the decor to the food and service! Triple A+ for me and can't wait to go back. they also have an outside Patio! Pricing is mid $$ and fair well worth it! What a Gem! And it's Connected to The Twist night Club!Vegetarian options: Didn't try any this time but did see healthy options that looked just as delicious as what I had.Parking: Parking lot is small but plenty of parking off street.Kid-friendliness: The kids we seen were very happy and they do have a menu for them!Wheelchair accessibility: Doors have good space for wheelchairs, and they have pull away chairs at tables to accommodate.“
“It was cozy and intimate. The beer was ice cold and the drinks were strong and cheap. The crowd was a mix of the artistic people you find in SoHo and working-class folks. We went for a comedy show, poetry reading and live performance from Will Cherry - who was amazing. The staff was super friendly, the service was great and the energy was both electric and laid back.“
“Their website is outdated as they do not serve food anymore. The man behind the bar is super friendly. Chill even, vibing. The overall feel of the place is pretty nice. It is.... rather expensive for their cider though.... It was tasty for sure. It's so expensive though you don't really have much of a choice but to slowly sip it otherwise you'll spend $90 in 10 minutes.I would have loved to stay longer than I did. But 3.5 (they have a half glass size) glasses between 3 people and a mild tip was 40$“
“Nice little Bar that has been in business for 32 years. Clean and comfortable. This past St. Patrick's Day, the line was out the door for their corned beef sandwiches. I hear their food is pretty good. Will check out the mushroom swiss burger soon.“
“Edit: I failed to clearly describe the costs. Each person is $6 to play. The machines are ALL on Freeplay. No money is needed after you've paid your $6. This is current as of 12/23.This place is great. We drove an hour plus to get here. We paid $6 per family member and easily spent two hours playing pinball. Stunning value. It IS a bar and we visited at 3pm and the clientele and employees were super nice and personable. 11pm may be different ;) . Even with a few cool machines out of order there were plenty of machines from old to newer that were fun and available. The drinks were a respectable cost. More expensive than a convenience store but they do need to stay in business... We don't drink alcohol so cannot comment on these costs. A very good place. Keep it in business and visit! We will be back!“
“Very small dive bar and only food they have are a rack of chips. No worries because drinks are cheap and bartenders are friendly. It's a shot and beer bar and in Warren Road plaza. You could prob grab ice cream from Dairy Queen next door and they wouldn't care if you ate it in here. There is another bar in the plaza if you need food but this place place has all the drinks you need.“
“The food is always consistent here, you know just what to expect. Great fries ! Always fresh ,hot and tasty. The Rueben is my goto but the patty melt and chicken sandwiches are great too. The wait staff is professional, polite and efficient .My only complaint is it gets a bit noisy when it's packed but to be expected in an old building such as this.“
“Amazing, amazing gem of a restaurant! The food was delicious- we loved the calamari and pizza. The owner is very kind and generous- he made us feel very welcomed. The customer service is all about quality - and not quantity. Our waitress was also sweet and sincere. We felt very welcomed and will definitely be back again!“
“So let me just tell you this was above and beyond. I have been to several ‘tasting menu' restaurants in life and this may have surpassed my all time favorite in Denver! Our waitress was Kiera and she was an absolute blast. She was friendly and knowledgeable and made our dinner an experience. I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and my friend is a vegan ... not an eye was batted. Both of us enjoyed our own tasting menu catered to our needs! I cannot say enough good things about this because I have been to many places that force you to get the same menu! It was my very first time eating out after the diagnosis and let me tell you ... I am not worried about bit because all the food I was served was delicious ?“
“I'm from down South and I came up on vacation. It's a hood spot with some older people, but it's chill. I didn't get food but when I walked in my lights were still on, the security told me when they didn't go off after a few minutes. The bartender made my drink quickly and the owner checked the quality and even added another shot on the house. I was laughing and didn't feel from out of town.“
“Blue Agave Cleveland, an amazing place that you should absolutely try. Great food and the margaritas were terrific. Try street tacos and Mezcal-Rita. Decor looked great and service was amazing. Our server Kristela was amazing, patient and sweet. Thank you blue agave! Definitely a great experience.“
“I am from Lafayette La and would consider myself a true source to what authentic New Orleans cuisine should.be. I have also been in the industry for well over 2 decades so may know a thing or 2 there as well having been in the FOH in several various concepts and cuisines from New Orleans ro New York These guys nailed it! I had the award winning gumbo, etoufee, hush puppies, bread pudding and REAL french bread all rhe way from home made me so homesick! The owners are masters at their craft in food, and hospitality. Great atmosphere and vibe all the way down to the Abita Beers on tap!! Cheers guys! Well done!“
“The Ledger Bar is a small (I mean small) bar situated on the balcony that overlooks the Metropolitan at the 9's Hotel Lobby. Since the Metropolitan is home to an apartment complex, an upscale hotel, a rooftop bar, a dog park, a Pilates studio, a theater, a basement vault bar, and a "high-end" eatery, there's a whole lot of people constantly coming and going. Sitting at the four (five?) two-person tables situated right at the balcony railing means you can easily lean over and watch people come and go while sipping your drinks. Unlike the rest of the bars in the hotel, I was told there was no drink menu at the Ledger, and the bartender (who waited my table!) simply asked what flavor profile I was desiring tonight. The resulting drink he made was honestly good, and I really enjoyed it. Zero idea what was in it to ever order it again (and he was really overworked to ask!), but it was a neat experience of a "craft your own experience". There were a few beers on tap. I'm unsure about wine. Centro's food menu (restaurant downstairs) appears to be available here. There's a single unisex bathroom within steps of the bar, and the regular hotel lobby bathrooms are down a floor. As conference rooms are nearby this bar, I'd also probably guess there's a large conference room bathroom block too, but I didn't find that one. The rest of the bars and restaurants in the Metropolitan tend to take most of the attention here, and the Ledger has a much more laid-back, chill vibe. A lot of people were watching a sports game (baseball, I think?) on the TV behind me. With the smaller space and wide "open" area of the full lobby, the Ledger feels like your calmest, quietest bar option out of the available places at the Metropolitan.“
“What a lovely little spot! I'm all about a good dive bar and we found the best one in Cleveland! Sherry & Simone were so welcoming, it felt like home. A pool table & curated jukebox were great additions and although we didn't eat (Sloppy Joes $4), I'm sure they were delicious. Inexpensive, charming & the visit left me with a huge smile on my face, knowing this was one of those special places.Can't say enough good things, just an all around great time. This place is a real as it gets. If you are in Cleveland, pay them a visit, tell em Patti from Philly sent you. ??“
“They place does not serve any food nor snacks, but you are welcome to bring food in. Has a lot of beverage options if you're a drinker. Very nice atmosphere. You can bring the kids before 9pm or have a date night after 9pm. If you love games, great place to have fun with everyone.Vegetarian options: No foodDietary restrictions: No FoodParking: Very difficult to find parking. Do not park your car in Dave's supermarket your car will be towed.Kid-friendliness: Kid Friendly“
“Fun local place. Friendly people and bar tenders have always been excellent. Message to the owner. You have improved with your stereotyping (type of hat or the way it is worn). Realize that has nothing to do with the character of the person.“
“It’s always a fun time at The Fairmount! Food and drinks are delicious. I would recommend if you’re coming with a group to call ahead and make a reservation as the place is pretty much always packed in the evenings.We’ve done multiple times and they have both indoor and outdoor dining. The patio is very nice and dog friendly.“
“Still family owned, still carrying on the legend of Mitzi - many local articles were written about her over the years. A recent gentle makeover kept all the 110-year old features, it still feels like home. One of Cleveland's best bars, a literal time machine, so old school you are buzzed in at the front door just like Miss Mitzi did for decades. Nothing trendy here - which makes it perfect. Always an interesting night, with a mix of old timers, art school students, and devotees of authentic saloon vibes.“
“Great place for drinks, dinner and trivia! Had the chicken paprikash, polski nokaut, fish bites, buffalo cauliflower and grilled Caesar salad- all was amazing! Helpful, nice server with great recommendations. Excited to come here in the summer to check out the patio.“
“Ordered Cauliflower Crust with Red Sauce, No Cheese and Veggies. It was really good and the crust was awesome. A good delight before I start a detox ?Vegetarian options: Fresh. Although pineapples were not sweet but it was okay. The only downside.Dietary restrictions: No cheese. Honored my request with no issues“
“It was a nice surprise, hidden gem. We were driving by and decided to stop in. It was quiet when we arrived. Service was good and friendly. Then a 1/2 hour later it was packed for karaoke. Which turned out to be very entertaining. The crowd was friendly and fun. Looking forward to going back.“
“We have an absolutely amazing time every time we eat here! Perfect for a romantic, late night reservation with a group of 6 or less. Kitchen closes at 9 so get your order in- but the waitress told us right away so we didn't miss it! Great recommendations and waitress very knowledgeable about specials and favorites. GLUTEN FREE chicken breading options as well!!!!!! 10/10“
