From the atmosphere to the interaction with bartenders you won’t be disappointed. Can’t speak highly enough about this place, and if you know a thing or two about a cocktail….you’d best stop here“

“First time here and everything was 5 stars! Love the yummy cocktails and food was terrific!“

“I got my food to go after I’d had a cocktail. The swinging benches across the street are a perfect place to sit and eat your divine tastes of FAT CAT’s … I had the salmon burger and Brussels sprouts and a Purple haze cocktail at the bar. The sandwich was literally perfect! The avocado was the perfect touch! Always a treat! Tastes and Travels gives FAT CATS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Amazing atmosphere! This is my second time coming down to this unique little gem. a out of this world cocktails and convo, Noah the bartender is the coolest! I watched the game and enjoyed some new drinks I’ve never had before, was a great vibe and the alcohol selection is top tier.“

“We went around 1:30pm on March7th. Food was very good. Had wine and cocktails. Service was outstanding. Female server and she was probably the best server I have ever had. I would only recommend that there were more appetizers. Bread was outstanding as well as the croissants. Vegetarian dishes were very good as well as the Broccoli melt. We were able to find parking on the street.“

“I hate alcohol. I usually avoid it if I can. And when I can stomach a drink, I usually don't like it--I just tolerate it. But I liked drinking the cocktails at Porco. Highly recommend the Pink Flamingo for my fellow alcohol-haters. Also, my husband's came with this little guy in it. 5 stars.“

“Excellent food & service!“

“The Fairmount is a perfect mix of all you could want! Amazing, delicious food, beautiful atmosphere on the large, enclosed green terrace and professional , friendly staff. I have never had a negative experience and I’m there often!“

“We hosted a Young Professional networking event here, which was new for me because typically I only find myself arriving late on a weekend. 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!“

“What a location!! Right on the water, we were sat in the enclosed patio area and got to watch the seagulls feast with us.We started with the beer and shot and I had a sweater weather, I had them change out the vodka for tequila. It was tasty! We got the crispy broccoli and cauliflower and boy was that a treat! The veggies were super crispy and the drizzles on there are full of flavor in such a memorable way… yum!For brunch I had the fried green tomato sandwich with pork belly. Holy cow! This was a mind blowing meal.My brother got the burger. He spoke very highly of his plate as well. This is a new favorite in downtown Cleveland. In a couple months I have tickets for a concert at Nautica (Jacob’s pavilion whatever we call it these days) and this restaurant looks right out on the river at the value. I’m gonna pregame here for sure! Thank you guys for a wonderful experience!Vegetarian options: Many options were on the menu for brunch at least.Parking: More parking than usual for an establishment in the Flats“

“Incredible atmosphere - from an unassuming outside, walk into a speakeasy style bar with dim lights and live music. Bartenders and servers highly knowledgeable and can make recommendations - the menu is very long! Delicious drinks but pricey!“

“My boyfriend and I stopped in here randomly while he was getting his car worked at on Midas down the road. The bartender was very friendly (I didn't get her name) and the drinks were super cheap. We got four tall drafts for $16. I would definitely come here again if I'm in the area.“

“There are 2 parts to this establishment. It was Sunday. One side there was a DJ. They were selling food in the back and someone was taking pics, And the patrons were dressed up. Men in suits and ladies in dresses, and the other side of the bar was dress down and there was a juke box.“
