    Omelette with butter moat and square of plastic cheese on top.
    Justin J.

    It's a no for me, dawg. Sunday breakfast buffet was worse than what you get at a motel continental breakfast. To be clear, servers were all very nice but the food was not good. French toast was cold, the toaster didn't work and my omelette came out swimming in a moat of butter mixed with vegetable water. They added a square of plastic Swiss cheese on top which is maybe the most insane part.

    The Brussels sprouts were amazing! I could have made my meal on these alone! We then had the French onion soup & the butternut squash soup. The French onion was ok, but the butternut squash was out of this world! Had I known how good the Brussels sprouts & soups were, I don't think we'd have even ordered an entree. But, we'd placed the entire order in the beginning & proceeded with our entrees of the everything bagel salmon & the short rib bourgeoisie. Both were exceptional!

    Food was good. Service was fine. It was so uncomfortably hot. Couldn't wait to leave.

    Rebecca at the bar was great and really looked out for the hotel to make more money and appease the hotel attendees.

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!

The lounge is huge, with unique vibes in different rooms behind the various old vault doors still inside. They've highlighted the history here, with cozy lighting and plenty of little nooks and crannies to enjoy with your party. The main area is the bar. The whole place has a 1920s speakeasy vibe; the night we visited a wedding party was fully leaned into this in period attire making it extra fun. They have an okay beer list, it's more about the cocktails. Our bartender was helpful and friendly, despite a growing number of people getting complicated drinks. If you like a unique place to enjoy a nightcap, this is a must-visit in downtown Cleveland.

A drink sponsored by a liquor company is usually included for the event along with a buffet style finger foods. They also have different vendors there in all the vaults offering unique experiences like permanent jewelry, hair, tinsel, and feathers, coloring contest, and this time they had a vault set up with just dance. Every time I attend a girl dinner it just keeps getting better. The staff is always amazing and welcoming.

    Would not recommend!!!…read more Came for a night out from outta town. They charged $10 at the door. We walked in we're the only ones there. They had swings at the bar (which was nice). The bouncer proceeded to tell us we couldn't sit there and that we had to move to the room which looked like a warehouse that they added on and was freezing cold. We decided to get a drink. But that was kind of difficult. They didn't have more than 10 bottles to choose from. They were advertising Avion throughout the club. The bartender said they were still recovering from All Star weekend. And that's why they didn't have much to serve. But a few moments later I saw them bring out a bottle of Avion and serve it to a VIP table. Also be ready to pay $30+ for one single drink and $5.00 for a bottle of water. The Bartenders were also talking negatively about my group of friends and I. 3 steps away from us behind the bar. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL ESTABLISHMENT!

    They had about 12 types of liquor, NO BEER, and a shot of crown (that we didn't want, but drank bc…read morethey had nothing else of interest) was $28. Plus there was a $10 cover, just for us to be the only ones inside. It was also freezing inside. Insane! The bartender was clearly annoyed because we kept asking what type of liquor they had (you know, since there was only 12 bottles). When they didn't think we were paying attention, the bartender told who we presumed was the owner that we were annoyed and he said "well tell them to go away". Then they had a nice chuckle. We just paid $90 for 3 shots plus a cover charge and you want us to go away? Ok, bye! Will NEVER go back.

When I visited (for the first time!) for 6th Street Vintage Fashion Show, I clearly felt community vibes. The space was filled with a lot of well known local artists and creatives. It was cool to witness! Everyone was friendly and the vibes were great! The space has two large rooms with grungy floors and a lot of various art on the walls - paintings and photography. There's a bar and also a separate room to the side. There are also a lot of comfy couches and other seating options. It seems perfect for hosting mixers giving attendees opportunities to mingle in various areas. The space seems to comfortably fit a lot of guests. According to the Lounges website, they offer tours and allow inquiries about space rental. I can absolutely see someone leveraging this space for networking mixers, entrepreneurial panels, or a group photoshoots. It's definitely a blank canvas with a lot of potential. It's also one of the few artistic places in the city that have a building of their own offering more privacy. Their events are posted on their IG lounges_cle This space is located in the heart of Cleveland. Surprisingly, there are a lot of parking options - meters (with QR code payment) and adjacent parking lot. It's great to have so many parking options. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at the Lounges. I hope to find more fun events hosted there via Eventbrite and IG. You should too!

I was able to visit in a recent trip to the city and would recommend it to those going for a visit as well. Located in the House of Blues, you'll have to enter through the 4th strewn door and head straight to the back. Most "speakeasies" I have visited in the US are pretty obvious (like someone sitting in a chair, directing you to a set of stairs behind them to enter the "speakeasy"), but with the entrance to this one tucked away behind a place with live music and food, it had more of an authentic feel. The friend with me that night even questioned if we were in the right place as I strolled to the back of the restaurant and walked up to the girl seated at a podium. "Excuse me, but is this the way to the foundation room?" I asked her. She affirmed, and we were soon on our way up an elevator. When we got to the second floor, we were promptly greeted by a host, Julius, who showed us around. The decor is sumptuous, a blend of Moroccan, Indian, and Jacobean flair. After checking out a room with relics from an Indian temple and looking at the rooftop (with an Instagram-worthy floral wall), we decided to grab a cozy spot near the bar and ordered a drink. As we sipped on our Old Fashioneds, Julius came by to check on us, and we watched the place fill up with an array of people in a festive mood. It was a lovely way to end a night in Cleveland, and a place I highly recommend that you check out when you're in the area!

I got the french onion soup which was fine but it was more like bar food level than fancy restraunt. My friend got the braised beef short rib. It was nothing special either looked slopped on the plate and tasted like a bar could have made it. like I said this place was convenient and it did the job as a quick warm bite to eat if you're looking for bar food in a fine dining restraunt.
