    Good food with lots of variety. After a 45 minute wait over lunchtime, we were seated. No reservations are accepted. The yogurt shakes were recommended by a friend, so all four of us got the raspberry yogurt shake. It was delicious being very creamy with a fresh yogurt taste. The fries are popular so we each order them. One to share would have been plenty! We all took some fries home. Service was very good. The restaurant is clean, and easily accessible. Check it out in the Bohemian neighborhood on Coventry Road. Free parking garage is across the street.

    The TG pie is so unbelievably good. Tons of lamb, mushrooms, cheese, and onion fried up in a greasy rich delicious dough. The cigar sandwich was good too. Beef, mustard, onion, dough.

    Veg friendly of course. Great service. Food is more than generous. Been going for years and the quality remains the same. Best to pay in cash to avoid service fees though.

    Incredible sandwiches and milkshakes! Definitely plan on visiting again soon - The PR has a meat pie, falafel, cheese, and veggies on it, can't go wrong with that one.

    Tommy's was recommended by a friend from Cleveland and we were excited to check it out. It has the vibes of an old school vegetarian spot -- eclectic granola decor, minimal frills, an extensive menu. The service was pretty fast and everyone was kind. The food is really where I was a bit disappointed. It was simple and tasty, but didn't feel particularly healthy or high quality. It was kinda like eating cafeteria / dining hall food, which is to say that ingredients were simply thrown together without that much thought or care. If I lived in the area it seems like a great spot for lunch from time to time. As a visitor, I enjoyed seeing it for the clear spot it has in the community's heart, but I wouldn't go expecting great food.

    The vibes at Tommy will always be classic, I love that this place is a staple in Cleveland Heights that has been loved by regulars for many years. I love that it's connected to an amazing bookstore! I love the family-oriented staff that bring your milkshakes speedily. Only reason I don't give 5 stars is that I always am disappointed in the pastry of the meat pies. They come out a little rubbery and not very flaky, crusty. However, the portion sizes will NEVER disappoint... I mean, look at the size of their size of fries!

    Protect Tommy's at all costs!! It is the most wholesome place for breakfast lunch or dinner. A never ending menu full of something for vegans and meat eaters alike! The inside is bright and has tall ceilings, plants live on the tall shelving and border every window. Such a happy vibe! Service can be hit or miss - I've had wonderful, quick meals and I've had some experiences that i found myself a little forgotten about. I try to give the benefit of the doubt though!! Nevertheless, this restaurant has been an anchor in the community for decades and we ought to make sure it is cherished and celebrated.

    So the vibe of this place was so SICK!!!! It seemed to have a retro 60s style diner vibe and I totally was where for it. However, this veggie burger I got was the most disgusting veggie burger I've ever had. I clearly got something on the menu that Tommy's is not known for because it genuinely was so gross I couldn't even finish it. looks like people rave about the other stuff on the menu so i guess i tried the wrong item but snap i was excited about this place. maybe someday ill try again

    This was definitely not my first time to Tommy's. This was a much better experience than last time though so I adjusted my rating. We were in Coventry for the kids fest, so I expected a wait. We arrived and checked in per usual. We only waited perhaps 8 minutes. Our waitress was attentive and very nice. The children in my party ordered pizza. I ordered the pita that had turkey ham tomato and Muenster cheese. Everyone devoured their food. No money was wasted. Next time, we will try a milkshake.

    We visited Tommy's because it was a short distance from University Circle and I have always been partial to Coventry. I have been to Tommy's many times before. We were lucky to sit in one of the more private booths, which was nice. The food was ok, but not like I remember. They definitely have an expansive menu and the menu items have fun names. I guess i now prefer smoother hummus. Tommy's hummus has more texture. The falafel salad seemed to be iceberg lettuce a few vegetables and a couple of pieces of falafel, so it was fair. The service was good and staff seemed friendly and engaging. Overall, it was a nice visit with my oldest but we would probably pick another place next time.

    Eight (!) years ago my friend recommended her favorite place - The Fairmount. She emphasized that…read morethe ambiance and cocktails are something to experience. Eight years worth of Fairmount moments later, this review is well overdue. AMBIANCE: The ambiance allows you to slow down and enjoy your company. The restaurant is dim lit, has fireplaces, and loungey atmosphere. It somehow feels warm and I heard a lot of people refer to it as a second home (people are always so friendly here!). There is ample space - three bars, main dining space, and huge outdoor oasis bar. Nestled in Cedar Fairmount neighborhood, you'll also be able to enjoy historic neighborhood. There are seating arrangements if you're craving company or want to enjoy your date. Seating options include couches by the fireplace, tables, and high tops. Fairmount is delightful during every season. During the summer you can enjoy the bar and patio. In the winter you can dine at the igloos. I prefer all seasons here. FOOD/DRINKS: The menu at Fairmount is impressive and has exciting seasonal/weekly additions. You'll never get bored. The cocktails here are refined, very boozy, and very well crafted. The food is seriously delicious, and consistent every single time. I've been impressed with every dish. The dishes and drinks frequently follow the seasons. During my latest visit I enjoyed Butter Pecan Warm Cider with bourbon ($12, so bold and boozy, tastes like fall). I also ordered Fig Trouble Little China ($15, a more rich version of Old Fashioned, so delicious). I also tasted Short Rib & Risotto for the very first time ($28, such a delicious dish, every bite was just amazing). My favorites? Ah, so hard! I'll go with the Fairmount Burger! It's angus beef burger with bacon-fig chutney. It's so delicious! I can't even be serious about meat at the other burger places, this is easily the best burger in the city. My seasonal favorite? Kevin McCallister seasonal drink that resembles coquito or eggnog. The drink is topped with rice paper that includes the design of Kevin from Home Alone. It's such a fun tradition! I look forward to this drink all year and always tell the world about it! SERVICE: The service is excellent. I haven't been anywhere where service is right on point every single time. Everyone is nice - the owner, hosts, and waitstaff. You truly feel seen and like the most important guest. I've visited previously while on dates and frequently dine here solo, always had the most pleasant service. EVENTS: Many people book events here for their non-profits or companies. As far as individual events, Fairmount hosts a fun NYE party every year! PARKING: Onsite parking lot is available at the back of the building. You can enter through the front doors on Cedar or right through the parking lot door. There are numerous reasons why I love the Fairmount. I consider it to be the best dining experience in the Cedar Fairmount neighborhood of Cleveland Heights. I also love how the owner Jake is very engaged in the community and is incredibly friendly with the surrounding business owners. I'll choose this place again and again for calming ambiance, crafted cocktails, and delicious food. To many more years of Fairmount and at Fairmount!

    Great food and service! The burger was juicy. The sticky rice bowl with tuna was fantastic!read more

This is our 2nd time at Mia Bella and we definitely will come back again when in the area. Had the Burata caprese, eggplant parmesan, supa de pesce, & whole branzino with shrimp fra diavalo. Got the sesame bread because we needed it to sop up the olive oil in the salad and the marina in the eggplant parm! Good portions. Had to take home leftovers. Having their food really took me back home. And I'm not even Italian! Growing up with the the pasta, the sauces, soups, the Italian ices, and the real olive oil, I appreciate the traditional taste, which I found here at Mia Bella. The food felt really comforting, it was one of those "I almost cried!" moments. Last visit, had the oysters, arugula salad, and branzino Service was stellar! Shout out to Olivia and Gino! We didn't have a reservation on a Tuesday, arrived at 5PM, got seated right away. There's 2 rooms and we sat near the kitchen. Ambiance was comfortable, relaxed despite busy dinner service. Nice to watch outside activities thru window. Parking is limited in area, but fortunate to get a spot 2 blocks away.

So many great restaurants in Little Italy that it's hard to walk in to a random establishment and not have a great meal. But this little bar tucked away at the corner right before heading up Mayfield hill is a hidden gem. It's not a big place. It's not fancy. It's a "bar". But I promise you... they have GREAT food here! There's always a crowd at the actual bar during the few times I've gone, but for as small as the dining area with tables is, I'm a bit surprised as to why it isn't full of diners more often. Perhaps because they've labeled themselves a "bar" and maybe most passerby's think you can only drink there. So this is my one little way of getting the word out: EAT @ BORGATA!!! You won't be disappointed... Especially if you try the blackened chicken Alfredo! Perfectly seasoned, super tender chicken, creamy Alfredo sauce, with the 3 pieces of the most perfect garlic toast - it's carb heaven on a plate!!! DO IT!! One of the greater things about this establishment is that if you savor and enjoy your meal and drinks patiently enough and not rush out, you'll likely meet the chef as he goes from table to table asking how you are enjoying your meal. Twice I've had a nice conversation with Chef Armun, this time a little extended as we got to know more about each other. One of my friends happen to mention that it was my birthday. Jerk! (something I don't really like to announce). Then something happened when we were done with our meal and were on our way out. Chef Armun stopped us and said "Can you give me 5 minutes? You can't leave yet." I'm confused, but said "oooohkay, sure." A few minutes passes by and comes out with a slice of the most decadent cake with a candle on it and the whole place started singing happy birthday! For sure an occasion I will always remember. And it's things like this that endear places and people near your heart... where and when you truly feel treated as friend or family by a small, local business. To Chef Armun and Borgata... thanks for the impactful experience!! To everyone reading this: EAT & DRINK @ BORGATA! You won't be disappointed!

The bread pudding was delicious and soft with layers of flavor. It had a caramel sauce and tasteful strawberry fruit accent.

The shrimp on the salad (3 for $4) are huge! Yum. The chef came out when I got my food and let me know he labeled everything on the outside which was a thoughtful and helpful gesture! Not too terribly expensive either.

The ambiance was a great vibe over all but the service was... weird. Usually when I was to dine in Little Italy I've learned a reservation is key so when I saw they take reservations I made one. There wasn't a host or even an obvious place to check in so we stood kind of awkwardly for a minute unsure if we were supposed to wait for someone or seat ourselves. It wasn't until I walked further in to use the bathroom that an employee asked if I wanted to be seated. The majority of the service was weird. We ordered drinks and the appetizer and then got a blank stare followed by "well do you know what you want to eat to or?" Thankfully we had both looked at the menu online earlier in the day so I was able to make a choice without feeling overwhelmed but it was just mildly off putting. We never got refills on our drinks and it took a very long time to get the check. Thankfully the server who brought out check and boxes (different from the two other servers who had been by the table) was very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in making sure we had everything we needed. I wish I had caught her name, but if management is reading this the server with long brown hair working the evening of 10/24 was absolutely lovely. She'd get a solid 10 out of 5 stars.
