First thing to note is you definitely need reservations they accept walk-ins if they're not very busy but reservations are the best way to go it gives you premium seating and a guaranteed spot. Second the food is all vegan and it does not taste "vegan" because I know a lot of non vegan people think it tastes maybe not as good or sumptuous but trust me it's delicious and it doesn't matter that is vegan or not but as a vegan personally it's nice not to have to ask for no cheese or milk or egg etc it's nice just to be able to go in sit down order something to eat and enjoy it. Next the cocktails were fantastic they were delicious and well made and packed a punch and for the quality not very expensive. The atmosphere is very cool it's like a dark library bar with mood lighting cool decorations, seating to where you're able to see the whole bar... it's very small that's why I recommend the reservations again. But it has a very Victorian library feel to it is very cool. We were greeted with welcome shots of a whiskey sour which was delicious. We ordered the popcorn with red miso and sumac as an appetizer and it was fluffy and spicy and the perfect foil for my cold beer, which was a strohs for $3 a can, my daughter got the bando which is fried polenta and kill Buck valley mushrooms and homemade goat cheese. Our waitress did forget a drink that we ordered and we had to wait an additional 10 or 15 minutes to get it and we went on a Sunday at 9:00 so they were cleaning up and doing the closing chores which detracted away from the vibe just a tiniest amount but everybody was super pleasant and super friendly and the music was on point it's just a great date spot or just a nice spot to have great drinks in a small cozy atmosphere with people you just wanted to talk to. I brought my adult children and it was fantastic we had a great time. I will be coming back with them again to see their fall menu.

Very unique place. Food was lite bites and was all vegan. Very intimate, limited seating, we had 3 so we made a reservation and were sat immediately. Drinks were delicious and very unique. When we were sat they immediately brought out a shot…loved this. Our server was amazing and so knowledgeable. Just 1 or 2 you could probably grab a seat at the bar without reservation. Which I think would be amazing because I was trying to watch the bartender, make the drinks from where we were seated and I would’ve loved to front row seat. The lights are turned down. It’s very intimate and dark in there. There is a lot to look at on the walls, I am assuming the music was chosen by the bartenders that evening music was hard/acid rock. It didn’t seem to go with the vibe of the venue, but was not distracting. I had the orange blossom cake, which was an off the menu dessert and WOW. Yum bum! So first, I had the Strange Waters which was the blue drink. It was wonderful, but then I had the Smaller Acts this was a coffee drink, and was so good. I had the house fries amazing. I also tried the Masa Hush Puppies, I loved them with the chipotle lime butter.

I couldn't be more obsessed with Cloak & Dagger after my first visit this past week. The attention to detail is quite impressive, from their social media, menu design, creative cocktails (most of which can be made zero proof), feminine products in the restroom, ambiance, food presentation and flavor. No corners are skipped. The menu is small and carefully curated. Every option looked amazing, so we basically ordered one of everything. Here were the big hits: Birria Tacos - The enoki steak melts in your mouth. My boyfriend said he will order these every single time we go until the menu changes. Barbeque Chicken Skewers - Don't skip ordering these. The seitan was incredibly tender and a bite with the cheese and a blueberry is as close to perfect as it gets. White Cheddar Mac - The three of us inhaled this. We have eaten vegan mac n cheese all over the country and this is up toward the top of all of our lists. I think I need a t-shirt so I can rep this place. Or I need to start a fan club. I love you Cloak & Dagger!

Cloak easily deserves the title of best bar in Cleveland! Everything is fantastic - the dozen or so rotating craft cocktails on offer are complex and interesting and varied enough in flavors that there's guaranteed to be something exciting to try for both experienced gourmands and the pickiest palates. The food is without a doubt the best vegan cuisine in the city, and moreover genuinely tasty on its own merits (alas that the tasting sized portions are small and the price is high, but it’s still worth it). The vibes are peak gothic, and best appreciated on a cold and dark winter night if possible. The only downside to Cloak is that with constantly revolving drink and food menus, there is a serious fear of missing out; prepare your liver and your wallet accordingly for multiple visits. Note: reservations strongly recommended (indeed, mandatory for large groups and at peak times).

I was really excited to go to this little bar in Tremont. It had a cool name, beautiful branding, great reviews, and the interior looked beautiful. I was unfortunatly unimpressed. The service was not the greatest. The food menu is not very large, which is fine... but I ordered the Bahn Mi and just did not think it was good. I also asked the waiter to take out the onions and then the onions were left in. I did not finish the sandwich because I did not like it. My friend ordered the Mac and Cheese and Pork Rinds which were much better. The drinks were delicious! No complaints there. The interior design of the space was beautiful, and cozy. Overall I don't think I would go back for the food or the service though as there are much better locations for that nearby. I would return for a nice cocktail, but really not the greatest experience.
