COVENTRY, Cleveland - You guys. The fries. Terrific. Wife…read moreand I were in the adjacent bookstore on a Friday evening, around 7ish. Both a little hungry. Figured we'd give Tommy's a shot, not knowing it's this long-standing institution with a devoted fan base. That fandom is deserved. Brightly lit, clean, friendly staff. We were seated immediately. Really interesting menu with a lot of vegetarian and eclectic choices. $5 basket of fries was wayyyy big and some of the best fries I've ever had - a nice crispness on the outside, while fluffy inside. Wife's spinach pie with muenster cheese ($11.85) was flaky and generous with the fillings. Loved my $3 phosphate. My DC falafel sandwich ($14) - with sesame seeds, cheese, sprouts and tomatoes - was crazy big and the falafel was perfectly cooked, with a nice crunch. Our server Kelsey was really personable. All in all, just a great dining experience and if we lived in the area, we'd be frequent fliers at Tommy's.

I'm not sure what my thoughts are about "Tommy's" on Coventry...?…read moreOn the one hand, we did show up as a last resort after our original plans fell through. And they kindly found a table for us. I really appreciate that. On the other hand, the only word I can think of that describes the place is ... "Disheveled". That's all I've got... Disheveled. It was a bit messy, a little out of order and busy. The waitress was a very kind lady that really did do a good job in taking care of us. She was attentive, pleasant, and on the ball. The menu is extensive and the food was as you would expect from a diner/deli type restaurant. It was hot, substantial, filling, and arrived fast. There was a lot of it so we took half of it home. The coffee was very good and so was the ice cream. Considering that we ended up with a bill for only $51, I think we did all right.

Favorites include their savory baked goods and cookies When it comes to lattes, so far I've liked their cinnamon brown sugar, and seasonal matchas (the coconut matcha a couple months back was good). It's good as dine-in (plenty of seating inside and outside, though still quite full on the weekends) and as take-out. Plenty of free parking available in a lot. Staff are friendly. Also last month I tried their restaurant week special (includes latte, panini, and choice of cookie or macaron). Ended up choosing the brown sugar latte (opted for oat milk), corned beef panini and gingerbread molasses cookie. All were good, the favorite and definitely would get again would be the latte. Also if you use the too good to go app, I love their bags (such a good variety with amazing value) which sell out in minutes. Definitely in my list of regular places to stop by.

My smallest one loved her ham and cheese croissant, it was so flaky and buttery- I don't even like ham and I enjoyed my stolen bites. My spinach feta quiche was very tasty but a little on the salty side. Loved the pumpkin scone- if you're like Larry David, this is a true scone, not to be confused with a muffin. Thick in the middle, crunchy corners, mild pumpkin spice flavors. The sourdough loaf we brought home was perfect. Love that you can walk to the library from here. Bonus. We will be back!

The restaurant itself had a nice, clean atmosphere and felt comfortable to sit and chat for a while. We split a regular hummus as an appetizer, and it was honestly the perfect size for three people to share before our meals. The only small downside was that the food came out a little slowly, so it might not be the best place if you're in a rush. Otherwise, it was a really enjoyable experience.

Burrata salad could serve 4 as an appetizer. And our pizza was absolutely delicious. The pear was sliced so thinly that it was a nice balance to the pistachio rather than being overly sweet.

We put in a large lunch order a day before but had to wait another 20-25min to pick it up. It was for a work luncheon event so having delayed food does not make you popular. The workers seemed rushed and brusque. Customers in front kept coming back to the counter to say that a wrap was missing or that they were given the wrong order. Maybe I just caught them on a busy day--although it was just a Monday or Tuesday for lunch, no holiday. Everything was packaged securely and the food really was good though. The meats were cooked perfectly and the veggies were fresh and the sauces were flavorful. It's considered fast casual Middle eastern/Mediterranean food and I thought it was a little better than that. I would come here for lunch myself sometime but not to place a big order again.

Don't expect the food to be overwhelming with flavor, it's neutral and not super flavorful. Beautiful presentation and I believe something for everyone. Our server was amazing, I forgot her name but she helped us at 5:00 reservation, she had a cute little barbell tattoo. Amazing service and informative.

Each time we have gone, our waiter/waitress disappears for long periods of time (30+ min), and we have to stop them to ask for another order of drinks, our checks, etc. If the staff are trained to check in a little more frequently and not keep guests waiting, this would easily be 5 stars.
