24 Best Cocktail Bars near Shaker Heights

“Sad that I hadn’t ventured here sooner. The atmosphere was calm and exciting at the same time. The guac was impressive, and the chips were perfect…and then the food came.

I was not at all expecting to have a steak this good. I can normally pick apart a steak but literally nothing on the plate was anything short of perfect. The potatoes were next level.

What an amazing meal.“

“You know that scene in Ratatouille where the food critic was transported to his childhood from the food that happened to me here. The tacos tijuana with carne asada brought me back to when I was a kid sharing a botana platter with friends after church in the little hole in the wall restaurant down the street. I've never had carne asada like that since, and now I've found it. The holy grail Taco. The one Taco to rule them all. The macguffin of my life. I've found on my 40th birthday a taco that was and shall be my simple yet amazing friend. Don't get me wrong, I love Condado, Momocho, and lesser but still love for Barrio. However, they were usurped in my heart by the new number 1 authentic Mexican in my humble opinion. I love food, and for the first time in a long while, I felt that love was reciprocated. Don't miss this hidden gem. You won't regret it!“

“Had the filet this time, and coming from someone who is very particular about their meat it was cooked a perfect med-rare! The quality of the meat for both our dishes was phenomenal (rack of lamb and filet), such that it puts some steakhouses to shame! The quality of the tuna in our appetizer was also top notch. They always have a nice selection of specials here from appetizers to dessert. Needless to say, this place lives up to its name! Waitress forgot to put in our salad course, but worked out for the best because we got to have two desserts 🥳“

“The Fairmount is a perfect mix of all you could want! Amazing, delicious food, beautiful atmosphere on the large, enclosed green terrace and professional , friendly staff. I have never had a negative experience and I’m there often!“
