A group of 7 people went. It is a nice bar in a very nice part of Cleveland. The first thing that you notice is the unbelievable bourbon selection. We did flights (3 different bourbons). I had Blantons, EH Taylor, and Henry Mckenna small batch for $17. When you sit down, they bring a plate of homemade biscuits with rosemary butter and apple butter. Clearly my Keto diet was in trouble this night. Their were so many interesting and great sounding items on the menu. I decided on this amazing chicken sandwich with pimento cheese, slaw, and a remaloide sauce. Unbelievably good. I ordered the side of fries which were terrible. Several people got the chicken and rosemary waffles and they loved it. This is a must place. After a great meal, there is a great ice cream place next door. If you are going to kill your diet then kill it Big.

Did not try the drinks here, so canât comment on that. But their pizza is bomb dot com. Husband and I are pizza lovers and this place totally hit the spot. The dough was light, perfectly crispy on the bottom and sides and not soggy at all. They have very nice pizza options. We had the Pesto and Greek pizza. Both were fab. Highly recommend!!!

My wife and I love coming here for the very best soups and sandwiches! You can eat indoors or on their side porch. Everything is so fresh, and they have their own parking lot. And the prices are very reasonable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our food, as well as, the outstanding service. Nice hip place with a great brunch. The atmosphere was very comfortable and I always love an open kitchen. Started off with a spicy Bloody Mary, which was amazing. Enjoyed the house made pickle in it too. The brunch menu really offered a wide variety, which made my decision very difficult because it all sounded so good. I narrowed it down to the cured oro salmon, frittata, and lemon soufflé pancakes and had the server pick one and surprise me. My husband ordered the vanilla mascarpone French toast and a side of the house smoked bacon and our server surprised me with the cured salmon. It was all delicious and I mean every last bite! I wish I lived near by so I could work my way through the menu. The French toast with the brûlée bananas and creme anglaise was a perfect brunch entree. The flavors were fantastic together. The bagel that was served with the salmon tasted like it was just made. The salmon was so fresh and tasty and the side of egg salad was the perfect compliment. I created a bagel loaded with cream cheese, salmon, tomatoes, onions and capers that was absolutely top notch. It was a masterpiece and I cleaned my plate. I can honestly say if you havenât been, you need to go. What a great find with delicious food and awesome service. We decided to eat inside, but there is a nice patio area to enjoy eating outside. Highly recommend. Thank you 9kathyf! We appreciate your detailed review and support of fire. We hope to see you again.

Stopped on our way to the airport. 1st visit. Ordered the Cheeseburger with truffle fries. The burger was cooked perfect and great flavor and the fries were spectacular! My wife got the grilled cheese bars and tomato soup and they were both very yummy. We were in the âcafeâ section. Initial service was fine but I got up and stood at the bar for five minutes before someone told me it was closed. I went back to the order line and waited there for about 12 minutes while a guy tried to take care of the lady ahead of me while she tried to download their app. Food was 5 star but service was only 2 star, but would return for the food and sit in the restaurant area. Thank you for coming in, we are disappointedâ to hear that this happened and have addressed this internally. We will improve and we would like to have you back in on us if you are open to that. Can you please email me at [email protected] to discuss further?

My wife, son and I had dinner here last night (my sonâs recommendation). My first time here. Located in the heart of the Tremont neighborhood in Cleveland Ohio (Jefferson and Professor), we started our dinner with an order of hush puppies, which were very good. Our dinners consisted of my wifeâs Crawfish Etouffe, my sonâs Jambalaya, and my Seafood Gumbo. All three dishes were shared, and they were all delicious. My gumbo was the least spicy of the three dishes, where the Jambalaya was the most spicy of the three main dishes. For dessert, we ordered beignets and bourbon sauce bread pudding. The beignets were a little stiff, unlike those found in New Orleans. My bread pudding, with the bourbon sauce, was the star of the show. We all enjoyed it to the point that it was gone very quickly. A truly enjoyable dining experience. The staff is great and took very good care of us. The establishment is beautiful with two beautiful floors of tables. I would recommend BSBR to anyone visiting Tremont.

We were referred to Dante's from a friend. We were able to reservations and grateful we did. The entire restaurant was full all evening. I enjoyed the Veal Oscar with white asparagus. Absolutely delicious! It cut like butter, I couldn't believe I ate the whole chop. My husband enjoyed his Ribeye cooked perfectly. Our server Todd was excellent paying close attention to detail. We look forward to returning soon!

Iâve eaten here a couple times, and I really like the theme of elevated Midwestern food in the menu. Nice, but not too formal atmosphere, and the food has always been delicious. The crispy bone marrow and monkfish that I had during my last visit were great. Service has always been on point, whether at the bar or a table. If I had one negative, itâs that I donât love how the drink list is on a tablet; I felt kind of bad asking for extras when there was only to share around for a large party.
