| - Tremont Tap House seems like another one of those places that my non-drinking prevents me from getting the whole experience.
Overall, it's a pretty cozy establishment with a beautiful patio that makes for a nice night out.
The wife and I visited for dinner an few days a go, and for the most part liked it a lot.
Why the three star rating then?
Well, to be fair, TTH probably deserves a 3.5 but with no half stars to give, I'm electing to be conservative.
The high points - other than a seemingly long wait to get seated, the service was great - friendly and attentive, and helpful in answering questions about the menu.
The food was delicious, salads, appetizers, sandwiches ,all of it tasted great, comparable to some of the better stuff I've had around town, and once we placed our orders, it seemed to come out pretty quickly too.
The reason I'm rating conservatively is that we kind of felt that the price to portion ratio skewed a little bit toward the small side. Is this being picky? Maybe, but we were using a gift certificate on this occasion so we were ordering with impunity. Had we come in and spent cash for the meal, I probably would have felt that it was a little skimpy for what we paid.
I know there's all kinds of arguments to be made about the ridiculous nature of portion sizes, the cost of well prepared, carefully sourced ingredients, etc., etc., etc., but as it is, I feel like I could get food of the same quality from other well-regarded establishments in Cleveland for either less money or more for the same price.
With that in mind, I want to reiterate that the food was delicious and the service was great, so if you're not as miserly (or as gluttonous) as me, you should probably bump the rating up to a solid four stars.
