The South Side

Worst ever.  When i call and say there's a birthday party for 6 and you refuse a reservation for 8 saying "we're exceptional at moving tables," and we cab over to Tremont that day from Beachwood only for you to have an 1 1/2 hour wait, and do nothing to accommodate the party even though we tried to reserve - then you are an asshole of a restaurant. Well done. And here I was trying to give you a chance at winning the business even though I met an admitted coke whore at the Flying Monkey who said she cooked for you.  A huge waste of a person that makes food there.

Slum.

We started the night with the hummus for an appetizer and my boyfriend got a shipyard smashing pumpkin and I got a wyders raspberry cider.  The pumpkin beer was dangerously good but came in a smaller glass.  The raspberry was a light and delightful taste of fresh fruit.  I was pretty happy with both as they came quickly after we ordered.  The appetizer of hummus was good as well.  I especially liked the topping on the hummus.

The entrees were just OK.  I had the top sirloin over white rice as well as a tomato spring salad.  The salad was really good with a great variety of grape/cherry tomatoes in many colors.  There was a little bit too much sauce but overall that was very good.  I felt like my steak was cooked very well-medium rare but it didn't have that much seasoning on it.  My boyfriend had a pulled pork sandwich that came in a pita with fries.  The fries were absolutely amazing the pulled pork looked messy but good.  Overall I would come back to this place maybe for a late night drink.  

The parking lot is across the street and is a bit shady but  I would say a solid 4 for this establishment.

Sherman, the owner, must use a casting couch to choose staff, cuz they're all hot. Dress for tips. Pretend they're "into" you. Ignore you. You know, like the other chicks at the bar!

Then, you get fed unremarkably bland dog chew. Try a soup - dare ya. Glue-like paste mixed with just enough water to keep the spoon from standing on end. Acoustics for music are awful, they've done nothing to fix that since opening, your ears will be in pain if a band's playing. Such a great space, they put a ton of money into turning the old Hi and Dry into a showpiece of mediocrity overdosed on cliche.

Oh...and the crowd. If you like the Treehouse Douchebag Circuit, you'll LOVE Southside. Treehouse fuckfaces dress up for this place! Buzzcut closet case meatheads yelling their latest Brook Park softball heroics at all comers. Sherman tore down a historic house next door to make room for...nothing. Thanks Sherm! There's some chick's elementary school finger smears on the walls very demonstratively labeled as "local art".  It really needs to just go out of business and re-open under new management, but Cleveland loves its DoucheChachAssSctratchin swill palaces, so this will likely remain....

.....The Crown Jewel of Tremont Poserdom.
