    I used to love this place. The patio, the bar, the neighborhood and the food. I don't know what has changed but it's just basic bar food now, nothing special and nothing worth the drive. Also when we ask "what's on tap?" DO NOT TELL US TO "GO ONLINE". if you're a server, memorize the list ITS UR JOB.

    I stopped here on a cold Saturday out with my mom. We were beyond hungry and opted for the Tremont Burger and Cheeseburger respectively. The burgers really hit the spot and were overall tasty. My mom was a big fan of the onion ring in her Tremont burger. Since we were out and about it also got a purple haze mocktail which was well balanced and I'd recommend. When we went it was still lively despite being post-lunch rush and pre-dinner rush. Service was good and the atmosphere was lively and full of locals which is always great to see.

    The restaurant and bar area are huge and even include a cozy outdoor space with a fireplace, which creates such a great atmosphere. The décor is fun, stylish, and gives the whole place a really cool vibe. We were a party of six coming in for dinner on a Saturday night. Since we made reservations ahead of time, we were seated right away, which was a great start to the evening. I ordered the Honeybee cocktail and it was AMAZING! For my entrée, I had the grilled chicken sandwich, and it was absolutely perfect. The portion size was huge, so I even had half to take home and enjoy later. Everyone at the table ordered something different, and every single dish got rave reviews. It's always a good sign when everyone leaves happy! I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

    Comfort dining at its best. South Side is always welcoming and delicious, especially at Christmas time. We stopped in before heading downtown for a Cavs game and the staff was pleasant quirky and quick. They offer a weekly special menu for when inspiration hits the chef, not to be overshadowed by their regular menu full of bar, bistro and home cooked delights. We settled on a mix of starters and entrees. The lobster bisque was hot and smooth, with big ol chunks of lobster. The rosemary fries were simple but ohhh so good, I could have easily had 2 bowls. The pierogi were delicious, I like my dough a bit thicker, but the chive sour cream outweighed it all. I also have the shrimp tacos, flavor was good, but the guacamole was not my thing, it just felt off. My husband had the lamb smash burger and loved it. So if you are looking for ambience, flavor, a great beer list, and friendly staff then head to South Side for dinner and drinks.

    Beautiful day!

    Excellence! Great Food, service & ambiance! I took a client there for a business lunch meeting. The client liked the food and ambience so much that they are returning with their family.

    Setting: Saturday, 6p pregame meal before Cavs We had a reservation and were seated promptly. Surprised to see some open tables. Everything was wonderful. Atmosphere not overly noisy. Service was adequate. Food was very tasty. Lobster bisque was creamy and decadent. Brisket fries were unique. I tended to share with hubby. They could have been a meal in their own.

    We went for my friends birthday and All the food was amazing. I tasted everything. Mines was the French toast and sausage. They make their sausage homemade in house. The French toast was really good. The burger was absolutely amazing! I will go back just to order that. The service was great and the ambiance was very inviting.

    Not sure how this was the first time ever tying this place. Great service and excellent food! Jordan was our server and was outstanding. Went there before a Cavs game and it did not disappoint. Really great menu . I'm impressed with the scotch selection, Balevenje 14! They also have Peroni draft! We were seated in the fireplace area it was comfy and casual. I will definitely be back as there is more in the menu I want to try!

    Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich

    Had lunch here with a friend. Everything was truly delicious. I had the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich and it was outstanding. The flavors had me thinking about it all day long! It was big but I could not leave a single bite behind. One of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Rosemary garlic fries were also very very tasty. Server was attentive. Our table was near the window, nice bright spot.

    Watching soccer

    We called with a need for a reservation for 10 and they were able to get us in. They were so kind. We arrived and got a nice table. The appetizers were wonderful! Especially the Brussels sprouts. I had a cheeseburger that was perfectly prepared. They accommodated some special requests- like letter for a burger instead of a bun. The sandwiches were huge! Salads were fresh and tasty. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The soccer match was on so we joined most of the patrons in watching. The entire place was having fun!

    Nachos...for the $10, it was a great sharable.  Needed more cheese but good flavors!

    Always, all ways...this is one of my favorite patios! The food is tried and true. The service is always on point! The ambiance is casual and comfy... come as you are!

    Southside in Tremont is always a good choice. I have been here several times and the food has consistently been very good. I have tried the Tremont burger, pierogies, noodles, a few appetizers, and other entrées I cannot recall, and everything has been enjoyable. Drinks are well done, and the brunch champagne bottle deal is one of the best and most affordable in the area. The one drawback is the bee problem on the patio. It seems to be an ongoing issue whenever I sit outside. If you are allergic I would not recommend the patio, but otherwise the food, drinks, and atmosphere make this a solid place to visit.

    Korean spicy chicken sandwich, onion rings. Short rib Philly and chips.

    Has always been a solid place. Nice indoor/outdoor patio. Good food. Worth stopping by.

The setup has a wow factor as you enter the basement level of the building through a tunnel covered in plants and leading straight to your first photo opp! The circle with pink bench is a cute preview of what's inside. Once you check in with the hostess, enter through a door and welcome to the social club. Beautiful decor that mixes a level of sophistication with a little drama as you see the bright lights. Plenty of seating and even a private room that can be rented out. The drinks are phenomenal and the staff is friendly! The menu offers a mix of unique cocktails (and can be made as mocktail a too) and small bites. Upon recommendation, I tried the F.W. Marg drink. So good! The most unique aspect is the watermelon ice cube. As it melts the drink flavor changes. Creative & fun way to enjoy a cocktail. They open at 5pm, which would be a great spot for chill happy hour. Later in the evening, you'll experience more of a lounge/club vibe. Great edition to downtown CLE!

I'm so happy we did because Stella made sure we had a stellar time (she put the Stella in Stellar? Sorry, nerd status) and the food provided was super fresh and the staff was so attentive. We had a pretty large group all come in at once and they got us through quickly with our first round of drinks! The ambiance is intimate enough where you can step aside to a table for a nice convo or large enough to create a dancing space where we you're at... which was exactly what some of us did because the music was just too tempting. From a more organized event to a late night par-tay mentality, the subtle and eclectic vibes of Lost put you in the right head space. Highly recommend!

Staff were very friendly even though they were busy. As for the food, I ordered mozzarella sticks, a hot Italian sub with tater tots. The cheese sticks were bad. Tiny, lukewarm and not much flavoring. Marinara dipping sauce was bland as well. Now for the sub. Unreal Italian Sub. The tots were crispy and salted. The sub was AMAZING... repeat AMAZING. Served with Italian dressing, on a toasted roll. Banana peppers, onion, tomato, with multiple meats and cheeses. Definitely a bar favorite as I saw many people eating the same dish. It's worth a visit or a try if you're in the area. The big positive of this place was the prices. $2.50 a beer and $10 for that sub. My tab was low so that's always a good thing. I would go back to this place however it might be tough sometimes if the bar gets pizza. In the plaza it sits next to a pizza place that I was told you can order the pizza from the bar and they have a window to slide the food through. I didn't try the pizza so I won't review that place. Overall, a 7.1 out of 10 with everything included.

The boudin balls were great! Very similar to New Orlean's verisons so that was great! We also tried the hot rocks which were also great! Our table tried both gumbos, the jambalaya and the crab cakes. All of which were delicious and the closest you'll find to NOLA style around here! For dessert my mom scored the last creme brulee which made her day and the rest of us had beignets. Their beignets are definitely not Cafe Beignet or Loretta's level, but they are still absolutely delicious as their own dessert, like a mix between a funnel cake and a beignet! Drinks were also amazing! It's one of like 3 places you can get a Pimms cup in Cleveland! They had a lot of other cool options and Sunday looks like it's usually an all day happy hour so we have to go back! And finally, I just have to note how beautiful the place is.
