Best sushi in the city (or the region)! Another of Dante's holdings, & one of the prettiest spaces in Cleveland. Not cheap, but worth every cent!! (Happy Hour is a great way to try it out) A great place dip into, or linger long!

The Lit has long been a favorite watering hole in Tremont. The space underwent ownership change, and while some of the Tremont funkiness is gone (art classes with nude models in the back room, and some of the cheapest beer in the city) There are enough good changes to not pine away for the old days. Great cocktails, and a solid food menu served at both lunch and dinner has made this one of our defaults! Sweet courtyard patio outback, and an intimate bar and dining space.
