We have been here several times. Drinks are excellent. Food is always delicious. The staff is really nice and it’s a very cool atmosphere. Definitely recommend everyone try it!

Such a great find! We were able to walk in and get outdoor seating on a beautiful Monday night. The entire menu looked delicious but we had to make choices. Went with the grilled cheese with heirloom tomatoes, fried Brussel sprouts, kalmata feta spread, and meatballs. Everything was delicious. Service was attentive and welcoming and the overall atmosphere was relaxed. Would return in a heartbeat.

Energetic atmosphere with college radio background and on-point menu with nightly specials that aren't just stuff they have too much of in the back. The night we were there they had ribs and a fish that were not on the regular menu. We didn't order either one, but after we were there a while we saw those plates come out and had a bit of plate envy. That was soon assuaged by our own plates coming out and exceeding our expectations. We had mixed drinks, starters, mains, and desserts and everything was spectacular. We were visiting from Columbus, and normally try to hit up a number of different places every time we visit, but this is a haunt we will make part of a Cleveland routine. Love The Lit!

Food and atmosphere was outstanding. Service was less than desirable but, did not diminish the experience.

The class of Tremont. I’m afraid to leave a review because I don’t want to share it

A hidden gem!

What a gem! Cozy, quaint restaurant. Service was on point.We ordered LIT burger, Nashville chicken sandwich, gazpacho soup, mushroom ravioli and tavern fries. Nashville chicken sandwich was spicy! If you enjoy spice it's a go too!The black garlic aioli was fantastic on the tavern fries.The staff was very nice and enjoyable to chat with.

We had a fantastic experience & our server, Mira, was out of this world! She was extremely knowledgeable about the unique ingredients in the cocktails & we could tell she absolutely loves her job! The food was delicious as well! We will be back!

One of those places that makes you think…Cleveland really is cool. The whole staff was perfect. Friendly, knowledgeable…talented. The food and drinks were outstanding…Zucchini fritters and the mushrooms…oh the mushrooms. Awesome. Just an all around hip spot.

One of my favorite places in Tremont, Just went for dessert and drinks but it was really good! Had the bread pudding and flourless chocolate torte... worth the calories! Drinks were well made and service was excellent.
