Tasty food, plenty of drink options and very chill vibe with good music playing at a nice volume that isn't overbearing. They have a basement with sofas and chairs along with an outdoor seating area. A few arcade games as well. Very comfortable spot will definitely go back.

I just happened on this place. It was amazing. Food was great, vibe was nice, people were friendly and Keisha was top tier. I live in the area and this will definitely be a spot I frequent regularly. Definitely a hidden gem!!!

What a disappointment! I do not believe I have ever seen a restaurant go downhill so fast! This used to be somewhere I enjoyed dining. Not anymore! The overall experience only deserves one star, but the half-portion of Ramen I received was very good so I will give it two stars. Unfortunately, a tasty half-portion of Ramen is the only [half] positive remark I have to offer.

We ordered the hummus plate as our appetizer. The bowl of hummus was exactly one-fifth of the way full. Fortunately, the appetizer only came with a small handful of stale unseasoned and unsalted chips along with a couple dry carrot sticks, so at least there was that.

I ordered a Ramen entrée I have ordered on several occasions. The food itself was delicious, but the portion was approximately 50% of any prior Ramen bowl I have ever ordered at this restaurant. Unfortunately, my wife’s portion was identically small. Needless to say, I left hungry after only consuming couple bites of bland hummus and one-half a portion of Ramen.

My real problem, however, was with the lackluster service. My son ordered chicken fingers with tater tots, and the server brought them without any dipping sauce or catchup. My son requested catchup. Several minutes later when it did not arrive, I went upstairs to see what was going on and the server had forgotten. I offered to take the catchup down myself, but he insisted on making us wait even longer so he could bring the bottle to the table, which he [kind of] did.

While the server did admittedly bring ‘a bottle of catchup to the table’, it was unfortunately empty. When I went back upstairs to request another bottle of catchup, the same server acted surprised that I was returning the empty bottle – it was like he thought I forgot he is one that just brought the empty bottle to our table. Pathetic!

We absolutely did not get our money’s worth as it pertains to the food or the service. Overall, it was a very frustrating dining experience. This is truly a shame given the limited number of even halfway decent restaurants on Dayton Boulevard. I will give this restaurant 30 days or so to get its act together and try one more time, but if I have a similar experience then it will be the last time I eat at Clever Alehouse.
