This was my first experience at The South Side. I chose it because it was the only restaurant in the area that had reservations available at the time I needed them. It is now a place that I will choose in the future and recommend to friends. The hostess was welcoming, the service was great, the food was delicious. I loved the wide variety on the menu with some Cleveland favorites. Initially, we were worried about the noise level, but we were seated in a back room that was perfect for relaxed conversation.
