| - The Tap House is now in the running for my favorite place to dine in Cleveland! It's places like this that make me wish I lived on the west side, for sure. The evening didn't exactly start out smoothly as we had to wait a good half hour after our call-ahead 'reservation' was supposed to be, but it was a Saturday night and I think my hunger and having to watch other people's food come out is what made it seem so much longer than that. Props to the staff, though, for being pleasant and communicative throughout.
When we finally were seated, we decided to get a couple different plates to share. The calamari was excellent and I love it when cherry peppers are involved. I've never been too into pierogis, but my brother-in-law got them and they were so freaking good! The brussels sprouts are swimming in butter that helps the sprouts practically melt in your mouth. Sister-in-law got what I think was a special that evening, the fish taco. The pico and fish were very fresh, but I didn't much care for the wasabi aioli (?) they slathered on it. My wife got the wild mushroom pizza with truffle oil, which I believe to be the magic ingredient to make anything delicious. Rounding things out, I had what is my favorite burger yet in Cleveland, their blue cheese & bacon edition. Also, having 'tap house' in the name their beer selection is, of course, monstrous. If I actually cared for beer I'd no doubt be coming here on a weekly basis if not more frequently.
I really have no excuse for not heading west more often, and Tremont Tap House is going to make it harder to put off doing so.
