    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

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

    VEGAN PLANT BURGER with a side salad

    We had made a reservation since we were a large group of 11. We sat in an area that was technically indoors but they had the doors completely open to let in air. But we hardly had any airflow and there weren't any fans so it was stifling and very hot. Most of us were sweating! We did have a great server. Didn't mess up our orders at all and she was really nice. She kept our waters filled and after a while, another worker made sure our waters were filled too. I got the veggie burger since most things on the menu didn't interest me. I got it with a side salad but the vinaigrette was acidic for me so I couldn't finish. I loved the burger though! It was beyond meat. The rest of my table mates got breakfast since they were still serving it or other items on the menu. I got the chance to try the fries which came with an aioli and ketchup. So good! I do like the vibe here though. Tons of outdoor patio seating and I like the indoor area since the had the games on. It's cute! They also had a good playlist in the background. Tons of Britney Spears. They're still developing the area so there didn't seem to be much around here but we found parallel parking really easily just a caddy corner across the street.

    Chicken and waffles

    Came for a birthday brunch on a Saturday with reservations. Our seats were in the newly renovated area and it was perfect, good spacing, nice big table for a larger party, nice decor - good vibes. Service was quick, Teresa was our server and did an amazing job. Everyone got a different dish and enjoyed- no complaints! The little mini donuts were good that we started with. The chicken and waffles were tasty, burger cooked perfect only meh was the fries weren't crispy at all. The enchiladas were flavorful not too spicy. Bagel with all the fixings and Brussel sprouts were loved by all. It's also great they have a dedicated parking lot attached . We will all be back !

    FRENCH TOAST  Strawberry syrup, powdered sugar, whipped butter, whipped cream
    Cin D.

    First time going, loved it! Our service & server was great! Attentive and friendly. The food was delicious! We had the French toast, rosemary fries, maple donuts- which were warm and soft! The chicken & waffles, biscuits with gravy and eggs, coffee, Arnold Palmer and water. Even the water was great! Some places have disgusting water, not here! We're definitely going back!

Unfortunately, they couldn't put us together, but we made it work. The location has a spectacular view of Cleveland's skyline. Even with some haze, it was lovely. The food was a hit with everyone. We started with the clothesline bacon and a cinnamon roll. It was perfect for our table. The bacon was not candied as described. It was good, but not something I'd order again for the price. 5 "ok" sugared bacon. The presentation was cute and the blueberry preserves were tasty. The sliced baguette toast was way too hard (break a tooth hard). My Florentine Benedict was cooked perfect,y. I opted for the fruit instead of the potatoes. I didn't realize it would be a $4.00 add on, but it was fresh and all the fruit was perfect. Others had the chicken and waffles, with a side of blueberry sausage, a smash burger and various yummy cocktails. My pomegranate mimosa was delicious and the plump blackberry was scrumptious. The family wall of pictures was a great tribute to life, family, love and Michael T Joseph who sadly died too young. It's a wonderful place to go with friends and family. I highly recommend when you're looking for a special place. Looking forward to coming back. PS: please donate to https://www.awakeningangels.org !

Good cocktails, solid atmosphere, and the kind of spot that would normally earn a regular visit. If this were just about the experience, it'd be four stars easy. But I can't in good conscience leave it there. Owner Bobby George faced serious charges including attempted murder, four counts of kidnapping, two counts of strangulation, felonious assault, and rape -- and ultimately pleaded guilty to attempted strangulation, receiving no jail time despite those original charges. Hard pass on putting dollars in that pocket. Then there's the food angle. TownHall markets itself as a health-forward restaurant, but they've gone fully seed-oil-free, cooking exclusively in beef tallow -- positioned as some wellness revolution. The Cleveland Clinic disagrees, with a cardiovascular dietitian stating beef tallow is simply not a healthy cooking choice due to its high saturated fat content. Ironic for a place selling itself as the clean-eating destination of Ohio. Good bar, bad owner, questionable food science. I'll spend my money elsewhere.

They had shrimp and oysters, sushi, prime rib, charcuterie, and pastries. I thought they should have had a "dessert" station. The pastry station was fine, but it needed more options for sweet things. The charcuterie was a mess and each person that came up and touched the tongs made it kind of disgusting to think about serving yourself the food that was on the trays. The prime rib was really good. The food for the table was kind of random. Two salads, deviled eggs, asparagus, eggs and bacon, fried chicken, bread and oil, and VERY random Captain Crunch pancakes. It was a very random assortment. The salads were dry and not much to them. The chicken was good, but pieces were too big. The pancakes had a nice flavor, but one bite was all you could do! And all this was $65, plus 20% gratuity, and 8% tax....so more like $80 per person. Not worth it. It should have also included a beverage. The coffee was an additional $5, let alone the alcoholic beverages which averaged around $20.

In conclusion... the noise problem that so plagued us the first visit seemed to have been addressed. It was now more reasonable. Our server was a pleasant enough young man but he appeared spread thin. He was continually distracted by his many other tables. It was a bit inconvenient. Finally, the menu was respectable but predictable. There was nothing extraordinary about it.
