Inman Social

“We were here for our 37th wedding Anniversary. We love to come here on special occasions. It’s one of the more upscale dining venues in Cleveland with a casual atmosphere. We had a booth reservation at 7 pm. We had to wait an extra 25 minutes since there was a customer taking a protracted amount of time to finish their experience. For our trouble we were treated to a free cocktail, a dozen oysters on the half shell and a crème brûlée dessert. All compliments of the chef!! I had the Scampi Al’ Arrabbiata. A pasta dish with shrimp and mussels. The dish was well presented and seasoned to perfection. Simply delicious. Our waitress was attentive and checked on us frequently. The atmosphere is relaxing and subdued with a lot of candles. We enjoy coming here for special occasions. We always have a great experience. They know how to treat their customers. I highly recommend this establishment. It’s worth every dime.”

“First time in Cleveland and found this gem of a restaurant — not only was the food incredible, the service was top tier. Our waiter gave us the most attentive service. We asked questions about the menu and the area, and he remained friendly and engaged throughout our whole meal. He made recommendations and made time to personalize our experience which is an incredible mark of hospitality. We had the Spaghetti & Meatball, Steak Frites, Garlic Cheese Bread, and Caesar Salad. The marinara is to die for. Great bourbon menu, too! Well done. We’d recommend making a reservation here anytime you’re in Cleveland.”

“I was honestly blown away by Inman Social in Cleveland, Tennessee. For context, I’m from South Florida and I go to a lot of really good restaurants and fine dining places down here, so I’m used to great food. I did not expect to find a restaurant in a small town like Cleveland that could compete with places back home, but this place absolutely does. Honestly, it might even be better than some of them. We started with an oyster platter. I normally don’t even like oysters because I always worry about them being slimy, but the person I was with told me I had to try them. They had this cream and cracker topping on them and they were incredible. The flavor was amazing and the texture was nothing like what I expected. We ended up eating the entire tray. Chef Wesley also made us a catfish appetizer that he actually won an award for, and now I completely understand why. It had sliced apples with the fried catfish, which I never would have thought to pair together, but somehow it worked perfectly. The flavor combination was just incredible. The drinks were also great. I had an espresso martini that was excellent. The whole vibe and atmosphere of the place was awesome too. Just a really cool spot with great energy, great food, and really good service. This place completely exceeded my expectations and I would absolutely come back the next time I’m in town.”

“From reading a prior review, I made a reservation days in advance for 1 at 6:00 PM on a Friday. This allowed me to be seated immediately. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, and I took indoor seating. The restaurant was starting to fill up when I arrived, so I imagine it gets pretty busy on Fridays. My server was Lauren, who was very friendly and informative about the establishment. She gave some info about the chef, like how he had apparently cooked with some famous chefs like Gordon Ramsey, and how the chef was apparently the Tennessee representative for some cooking competition. The chef won said competition with the Catfish Fritto dish that's on the menu (under Appetizers). Regarding the bathroom, it was 1 urinal and 1 stall. The bathroom was very upscale and well kept. It offered both paper towels and hand blowers for drying your hands, and it even offered hand lotion (something I've never seen in a restaurant bathroom before). The only down-side was that there was only 1 sink. For dinner, I ordered the Potato Pizza, which took 15 minutes and 37 seconds to arrive. That was faster than I expected since the menu made mention how the pizzas are made fresh and indicated that they might take some time to make. According to my server Lauren, all the pizzas are 10-inches except for the Garlic Cheesy Bread, which is smaller. The Potato Pizza comes topped with a bunch of arugula, and honestly, its a bit much. I decided to eat the arugula separately from each slice, and then I ate the slice (though this does mean I got plenty of leafy greens, so no need for a salad). The pizza was incredible. I also ordered a dessert, specifically the Vanilla Creme Brulee, which took 5 minutes and 23 seconds to arrive. The dessert was wonderful. Some other things I'll share are that the restaurant has special food and wine offerings it offers either daily or for a few days in a row. The food special for the Friday I went was escargot, which was tempting, but I wanted to try the Potato Pizza. As for the wine offering, I don't drink, but even if I did, I doubt I'd take it since you have to buy the whole bottle. My server Lauren told me how the chef apparently makes food for the staff, so they all get to have a nice dinner together. So, it sounds like Inman Social is a great place to work. Lastly, the restaurant has birthday specials. Specifically, you get a free dessert and a free glass of bubbly wine for your birthday. Overall, Inman Social was spectacular and I'll need to come back again.”

“Wife and I just finished our 32nd Anniversary dinner here. We had Cacio Pepe and 27 layer Lazagna. The food was amazing and so was our service. Perfect place to bring the wife for a quality get together out or bring date and impress. Victoria our waitress was amazing. Make sure you tip her well, her service is impecable and deserves it.”
