“La Casa Tequila brings the authentic flavors of Mexican street food and culture to the city in a lively yet rustic setting. Stepping through the oak doors is like walking into a traditional cantina in a small Mexican pueblo, with arched doorways, colorful ceramic tiles, and decor paying homage to Mexican folk art and traditions.The menu features classic Mexican fare made with high-quality, fresh ingredients. We started with guacamole made tableside, bursting with flavor from chunks of ripe avocado, lime juice and chili. For our mains, we ordered tacos al pastor topped with grilled pineapple salsa and chicken fajitas served with warm flour tortillas, homemade pico de gallo and sour cream. The tacos were charred just right and packed full of flavor, and the fajitas came sizzling on a skillet loaded with grilled onions, peppers and tender chicken.The restaurant offers a wide selection of well-crafted margaritas made with premium tequilas, as well as Mexican beers on draft. Live mariachi bands perform on weekends, filling the dining room with upbeat ranchera music and getting patrons up dancing between courses.Overall, La Casa Tequila transports you to the colorful streets and vibrant culture of Mexico through welcoming service, authentic cuisine and lively atmosphere. It's a great place to head for an evening of authentic Mexican food, margaritas and mariachi music. I will definitely be returning for more tastes of Mexican street cuisine and festive evenings.“

“Cloak and Dagger's atmosphere and aesthetic is among the best in the Cleveland area. I took my fiancé out to celebrate her scholarship and we were treated as usual with the utmost attention and professionalism. The servers were attentive, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic and the menu was blooming and interesting. Our cocktails and food were the perfect portion and complimented each other quite effectively. We can't wait to return again this summer.“

“One of my favorite places for a bite in Tremont! The LIT burger is the absolute best. I also suggest the Power Salad and the Blood Fountain cocktail is what dreams are made of! Don’t pass on the tavern fries. You really can’t go wrong with anything!“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We were very pleased with our catering experience at Wild Eagle, in the patio room. The room was spacious, and had a nice selection of games, a large bar, and several tables set up for food and presents. The staff was top notch, helpful and courteous. The food was excellent and well portioned.Parking: Large parking lot.“

“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.“

“I have zero complaints about my experience here. The dining area reminds me of a split between a contemporary bar and a 1980s hometown establishment. I was worried that the food was going to be light, but they fill their plates. Our server Bryan hooked us up with great recommendations the whole way through. The pie menu has some classics on it, with a couple eccentric choices if you feel like rolling the dice. I'll be back before long.Highly recommend the Banana Brandy pie. Didn't even think to ever make a pie with a Nilla Wafer crust, but it took me straight back to my childhood.Highly recommend the Pork Appetizer, and the Duck Pasta. The Elote dip appetizer is hefty and very good.“

“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.“

“My first time visiting not sure what took us so long to get here.Food is fantastic, the atmosphere is very welcoming for whomever you are dinning with.Our server Cindy H. was top drawer!She new exactly what we needed when we needed it.I was catching up with a friend I hadn't seen in a bit. Cindy made sure we had plenty of everything.If you love wine, go on a Tuesday when bottles are the special of the day.“

“I'd say it is quality done right. It is few and far between to find a place that serves cocktails that don't make you feel sick afterwards.If you want a place to have a few drinks and eat some food to soak up the alcohol this is the place. You also get the bonus of the greens being picked a few hours ago. And them being able to tell you where the food came from and how it was made- step by step.“

“See Gina (Woodmere location) if you want great service. My husband and I (from MD) and my brother and his wife (OH) came here to celebrate my birthday. We had an awesome time! Gina was very informative about the restaurant and the menu choices. She was fantastic! Thank you Gina! We’ll be back!“

“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.“

“We loved our brunch at Avo today! I came with a group of friends and kids before a Playhouse Square's A Christmas Carol, and our waiter was amazing! I think his name is Matthew and he got all 9 of our orders totally correct, even with some crazy changes the kids made. The drinks were amazing, portions were large and we will be back!! He even made sure to get our food and checks out quickly so we could make the show in time.“

“Absolutely amazing place. We drop our dog off here 1-2 days a week for daycare and she loves it (always trying to pull to go to taps and tails when we walk by). She also comes back very tired. They take care of the dogs here and always have people watching out for them. All the dogs here have also been friendly and I haven't had any bad experiences.“

“For years, the mysterious "Society Lounge" sign on E. 4th St. in Cleveland beckoned us like a siren call during our annual pilgrimage for the MAC tournament. Last year, curiosity finally got the better of us, and we ventured inside – an experience that instantly transformed Society Lounge into a mandatory stop on our Cleveland itinerary.On our return to Buffalo last night from Columbus we made a point to revisit this hidden gem before dinner.

Each meticulously crafted libation is a sublime work of art, perfectly balanced and exquisitely presented.More than just a bar, Society Lounge is a sanctuary for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Whether you're a cocktail aficionado or simply seeking a sophisticated respite, this extraordinary establishment is sure to leave you enchanted.“

“This is one of the most hospitable Hispanic restaurants in the Gordon Square Arts district! I would suggest going over the menu upon arrival...the music, energy and crowd can be a little overwhelming upon first visit. The servers cannot wait to meet you at the front door.The "Prickly Pear" is the most Deliciously Beautiful Drink they offer for a nice, relaxing"Turnt" before you eat.I've tasted everything on the menu...my favorite with the most"Bang for your Buck" is the "Chicken Chorizo Chimichanga'!“

“I was looking for a local Mexican food place and saw how good the reviews were. My boyfriend and I went for lunch. From the warmth of the tortilla chips to the freshness of each of our entrees, I was impressed. Service was very attentive, and I enjoyed the music and decor a lot. We will be back.“

“They place does not serve any food nor snacks, but you are welcome to bring food in. Has a lot of beverage options if you're a drinker. Very nice atmosphere. You can bring the kids before 9pm or have a date night after 9pm. If you love games, great place to have fun with everyone.Vegetarian options: No foodDietary restrictions: No FoodParking: Very difficult to find parking.

“I love this place! Hadn't been in a couple years and went the other night for a drink and some apps.....we just missed happy hour, but everything is worth the price! The blood orange margaritas are amazing, and the brussel sprouts are soooo good! We're definitely going back for the brunch!Our bartender Will was the best. Gave recommendations on his fav's and was attentive but never intrusive.Of course the view is gorgeous. Even sitting at the bar you get an amazing view of Downtown.“

“Hit up a mid-week happy hour. The cocktails were solid - both for happy hour and after. The food was exceptional too, especially the burger.Staff/bartenders were very friendly and helpful and the vibe was laid back. We felt welcomed. 10/10 - will be returning.“

“Great dive bar feel. Cozy, dim, comfy. Went after a Charge Bball game, had a couple of mixed drinks, a pizza, and their Cajun chips. Everything was delicious, hot, and fresh. Played darts and pinball....bartender was very friendly. Great experience all around and affordable....we'll be back.“

“It was a brisk evening in the city, and we were desperate to warm our souls. A few hours to spare before our concert, this was the nourishment we longed for. The music thumped and sparkled, while the room felt warm like home. Simple is king! Small food and drink menu with no complaints. I weap for the missing star: In these lean times, it would be tough to frequent.“

“Crispy chicken sandwich was wonderful. Fries were my favorite kind, and the side salad was perfectly executed. Drinks were refreshing and creative, lavender in the Pomona was a subtle point of interest. Brisket sandwich was amazing. I'll be back soon“

“This is a really cool place for cocktails. Food is only cheese tray so not a dinner spot but wonderful cocktail menu with some cool history too. If you're local to the area it's nice to enjoy and not need to head downtown. We enjoyed our time out and will be back soon !!!“

“My son and I enjoyed the French onion soup, the seafood chowder and the maple bacon Wagyu burger with truffle fries. The service was wonderful. The food was absolutely delicious and it was pleasantly quiet where we could have a conversation without screaming.We will definitely return to sample other things on the menu, especially if Vitt would be there as our server.“

“Wanted to check out a restaurant we haven't tried yet, and I'm glad we chose C&S. Very impressed with the vegetarian/vegan options. We split a vegan Caesar salad, vegan meatball, and vegan lasagna. All were amazing. The meatballs were my favorite as they were seasoned very well. I think we'll try one of their pizzas next time!“

“Overall an excellent meal & service was great. For this night (a Friday), they definitely needed to flip tables for the next reservation, so if you are looking to linger longer, you'll have to move to the bar. But always great food known for their fresh fish selections.“

“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!“

“This place is incredible! My mom and I came here a few weeks ago to try it since it had changed to a new Mexican restaurant. I’m a vegetarian and they had plenty of options and the food was delicious. Everything is made fresh to order so we were even able to order guacamole without any onions in it. Service was fast, restaurant was extremely clean and the drinks were great. This restaurant is a fantastic addition to the North Royalton! We can’t wait to go back!“

“Great food and service. The basil blueberry margaritas are an exceptionally refreshing combination of flavors. The new menu offerings are more than just bar food with more upscale fresh ingredients and pairings. Loved the band on Friday night. A bit loud but awesome tunes. We will definitely return.“

“A cool bar with 70s vibes tucked under mahalls bowling. The seating area is small with a few tables and couches. There are also a few seats at the bAr. Would recommend making a reservation as it can fill up quickly. They offer a variety of classic cocktails and signature ones that are very creative. They do not offer any food items. With the bowling alley right next to it and loud music, it was a bit hard to hear conversations but overall a solid spot for drinks.“

“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.“
