New American Restaurants in Cleveland, OH

“Townhall invites you into a world of love and exceptionalism. From the sushi, to the cocktails, & lastly the staff, everything & everyone is amazing. If you need a “for the girls” brunch, a night on the town dinner and drinks, or a quiet healthy lunch, Townhall provides it all. No matter the vibe they match. No matter the task they accomplish. Townhall is religiously perfect & forever my favorite! Ps: try the lobster fire roll and yellowtail hamachi!“

“I got my food to go after I’d had a cocktail. The swinging benches across the street are a perfect place to sit and eat your divine tastes of FAT CAT’s … I had the salmon burger and Brussels sprouts and a Purple haze cocktail at the bar. The sandwich was literally perfect! The avocado was the perfect touch! Always a treat! Tastes and Travels gives FAT CATS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“See Gina (Woodmere location) if you want great service. My husband and I (from MD) and my brother and his wife (OH) came here to celebrate my birthday. We had an awesome time! Gina was very informative about the restaurant and the menu choices. She was fantastic! Thank you Gina! We’ll be back!“

“Dante isn’t looking for laughs, it’s looking for gasps!Expect a creative, one-of-a-kind dining experience. Bank features on the interior are tasteful and help build a classy, sophisticated and vibrant atmosphere. Service is prompt and professional.Food is the money maker. Flavor pairings across the menu are magnificent. The crab cake/pork belly appetizer was the big hit across our group. For pasta, I enjoyed the carnaroli risotto, which was a light and fresh take on a traditionally rich dish. The classic bolognese (pictured) was terrific for those eyeing a more traditional dish.“

“Almost perfect! Service was great - I didn’t love my initial cocktail and without being asked, the server wanted to replace it for me. The meal started out really wonderful with the dips and oysters were spot on. The cold noodles were probably our least favorite as there wasn’t enough sauce in it to keep it from being sticky in our mouth. Didn’t love the potatoes, either but I was near full at that point.“

“For years, the mysterious "Society Lounge" sign on E. 4th St. in Cleveland beckoned us like a siren call during our annual pilgrimage for the MAC tournament. Last year, curiosity finally got the better of us, and we ventured inside – an experience that instantly transformed Society Lounge into a mandatory stop on our Cleveland itinerary.On our return to Buffalo last night from Columbus we made a point to revisit this hidden gem before dinner. Society Lounge never disappoints. The bartenders are true mixology maestros, their encyclopedic knowledge of spirits eclipsing all others. Each meticulously crafted libation is a sublime work of art, perfectly balanced and exquisitely presented.More than just a bar, Society Lounge is a sanctuary for those who appreciate the finer things in life. If you are lucky enough to get a spot at the bar Its ambiance exudes a timeless elegance, inviting you to linger and savor every moment. Whether you're a cocktail aficionado or simply seeking a sophisticated respite, this extraordinary establishment is sure to leave you enchanted.“

“Working with someone like Mrs. Anita Ephraim FX is a good experience and has yielded positive results for me every week. I invested my first $500 into bitcoin and Mrs.Anita FX helped me manage my account and i made $5500 in the first week. It has been an incredible experience from that day on! This wasn't my first time trading but honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when I first. Mrs. Anita Ephraim walked me through the entire process from start to finish, which was a … See more“

“We were in Cleveland on business for a few days, and this was by far the best dining experience we had. The ambiance is great with areas segmented, giving a sense of coziness even though it is not a small establishment. We had cocktails at the bar before dinner. Big beautiful bar with great service and selection. Everyone liked what they had. I had the roasted pineapple margarita. It wasn't my favorite margarita, but that's just my personal preference...it was a little too sweet for me, and the glass was very sticky/sugary, but I was intrigued with the idea so i tried it. I just had to wash my hands before I wanted to touch... anything. At dinner the big round tables give plenty of room for food, comfort, and conversation. The Steak Cigar appetizers were loved by my colleagues... They were a bit rich for me but the taste was delicious. The calamari was perfect with a creative Wasabi aoli lighty drizzled. In our group, one had lamb shank, 2 had sea bass, one had Steak Diane. The lamb and steak were a 10 out of 10, according to my colleagues. I would give the seabass about an 8 out of 10, and likewise with my colleague who also had it. It was very good, but there was something slightly off with texture, and it was a tad on the bland side. I love Chilean seabass...who doesn't? And I'm used to just getting goosebumps from that first delicious bite of this delicate fish. Not quite the case here, but still very good. The asparagus was perfect. The service was top-notch. They were very busy with several tables of groups of business people from the same conference we were attending, and the server absolutely did not miss a thing. Oh! And the cornbread was a surprise and a treat! Old fashioned cornbread served hot in a little iron skillet! We half joked about wanting cornbread for dessert when she brought the dessert menu...and guess what...she brought us cornbread for dessert. I highly recommend this restaurant and will go again when in Cleveland.“

“Great atmosphere and vibe. Lots of outside seating on a perfect evening. Bring your dog if you have one. Tap options were very interesting. Mac and cheese was great. I sat at the bar and service was ok. Apparently lots of people around me were locals who got immediate service, even coming to the bar after me. I waited quite a while to even grab a taster. I will give it another go in the future but other places to visit before I come back“

“It’s always a fun time at The Fairmount! Food and drinks are delicious. I would recommend if you’re coming with a group to call ahead and make a reservation as the place is pretty much always packed in the evenings.We’ve done multiple times and they have both indoor and outdoor dining. The patio is very nice and dog friendly.“

“Visited for first time Sunday afternoon. Wow. So happy we came here. Food was incredible. Fresh, beautiful. You can tell the chef loves his restaurant. The staff was welcoming and genuinely happy to serve you !The atmosphere was calm and friendly. I just loved it and can’t wait to go back . And omg the donut holes !! Are you kidding me?“

“Terra is the best thing to happen to Terrestrial Brewing Co! Located inside the brewery, Terra brings in a more comfortable and cool atmosphere with a simple menu, good cocktails and great food at a reasonable price. Of course their craft beer is available as well. The Pimento cheese dip is a must try, and the chicken sandwich is done right. Dog friendly patio and also in the brewery side. Check the website to see their daily specials as well!“

“Couldn’t recommend Christian and his team enough if you’re looking to host an event. We had a great experience hosting our Rehearsal Dinner the night before our wedding at The Arcade! Great communication, great people, great food and of course, good beer“

“I come here every year when I go to CL. It is absolutely fantastic. Every time the server is very friendly and kind. We order a make your own bowl and they have countless options to choose from with tags. The food is so so SO tasty and very filling. They have so many smoothies too and they are so good. Everything is a very reasonable and affordable price compared to other trash restaurants like Dunkin and Starbucks which take 6$ for one small drink made up of sugar and ice water. If i could give this place over 100 stars I would.“

“Ma & pa type place. Friendly staff, nothing super notable. Can get a fast, cheap breakfast that's good. It's more of a neighborhood restaurant than a destination.Kid-friendliness: Ma & pa place, kids will be fine.Wheelchair accessibility: It's a little tight if it's busy, otherwise you'll be fine.“

“Absolutely Amazing!! The oysters are decadent, the food was delicious! Excellent selection of cocktails! The views are Gorgeous! But by far the best part of this outstanding dining experience was the service!! 5!! Anthony was EXCEPTIONAL! We celebrated my daughters 25th Birthday & Alley Cat was the most Perfectly beautiful venue for a celebration! This will be a family tradition for years to come! Thank you Alley Cat and Thank You Anthony & Team! All of the incredible staff made our day superb!“

“I just moved to Cleveland this weekend and my mom was in town helping me settle in and we wanted a nice dinner. We chose don's and couldnt be happier with our decision. We sat in the dining room and I ordered a sangria (delish) we got calamari (best calamari ive ever had outside of europe) i got filet and shrimp (also delish) and she got the steak oscar and hasnt stopped talking about how good it was. We also split the chocolate mousse which again is the best ive had outside of europe. Aside from that, our server was phenomenal. he was funny, kind and attentive. When i told him i just moved here he wrote me a list of places in the area to try. i really appreciated this. I plan on bringing my mom back to Cleveland and to Don's for her birthday in October. our total was $135 for all that I listed. Not bad at all considering the quality of the food and the service!“

“We liked the pizza we ended up with but I had to drive back twice for it. I ordered a margherita pizza (tomatoes, basil, mozzarella) for pick up and they put a garlic white sauce on it. Why would they do that? I can't eat garlic, which is why I order a margherita pizza. If they are going to add garlic sauce to a basic pizza, which by definition that I've found has no garlic sauce, they should inform customers in advance. That said, the pizza we finally got, after driving back twice, was good. Not sure I will return however. Lots of good pizza places that know how to make a margherita pizza.“

“Checkout the skull shaped cornbread!!! Stopped by on a weekday afternoon for "X" dating the alphabet. It wasn't at all crowded. We easily found parking. Friendly bartender took our order. He was knowledgeable and offered great recommendations. Full bar with nice craft beer selection. Bar food. Service and food was prompt. Great casual atmosphere. Good first stop for a night out with friends.“

“Thomas, our server, was wonderful. Great recommendations and attention to our table. There was a lobster tail special with risotto that 2 in our party ordered. The other 2 ordered the filet mignon. We were able to make our own surf and turfs. Everything was delicious.“

“Went for lunch and was not disappointed! Sat at the bar and many professionals were dinning in. The waffle fries with braised beef, cheese, scallions and bacon were AMAZING! I can't stop thinking about this dish. Also ordered a Caesar salad.“

“Excellent private bar/club. Fantastic atmosphere. Love the second floor where you can go while a band is playing downstairs and still hear them but it's not overwhelming. Love the private booths with curtains. Love the balcony overlooking the pedestrian street below.“

“Ordered the “big guy”. They are known for 4th best burger in town. Well…. I’m thinking how, the 1/3 patty was not seasoned, special sauce was not as tangy and left the burger pretty plain.Thumbs up on the fresh cut fries, add malt vinegar and they pop with flavor. Would recommend as they are a dive in bar and have a great selection of spirits.“

“What a location!! Right on the water, we were sat in the enclosed patio area and got to watch the seagulls feast with us.We started with the beer and shot and I had a sweater weather, I had them change out the vodka for tequila. It was tasty! We got the crispy broccoli and cauliflower and boy was that a treat! The veggies were super crispy and the drizzles on there are full of flavor in such a memorable way… yum!For brunch I had the fried green tomato sandwich with pork belly. Holy cow! This was a mind blowing meal.My brother got the burger. He spoke very highly of his plate as well. This is a new favorite in downtown Cleveland. In a couple months I have tickets for a concert at Nautica (Jacob’s pavilion whatever we call it these days) and this restaurant looks right out on the river at the value. I’m gonna pregame here for sure! Thank you guys for a wonderful experience!Vegetarian options: Many options were on the menu for brunch at least.Parking: More parking than usual for an establishment in the Flats“

“We had visited the location in Van Aken but this is closer to home and we had been wanting to go for awhile. I am so happy that we did! We sat in front near the bar thankfully since it seemed a little quieter there than the back. Although the atmosphere was comfortable regardless. Our server was friendly and helped us make some great choices on food and cocktails. We shared the Banter salad, Cleveland sausage and when pigs fly poutine. That salad is delicious and I am pretty sure I keep craving it. Both the sausage and poutine were delicious and flavorful as well. I know we had desert and very interesting aperitif but I can't seem to find pictures or menu listings for what we had! But it was all delicious. Can't wait to visit again and try new things.“

“What an enjoyable spot on the river! A great night of food, service, and views! We were quickly greeted, served drinks and Solomon there to take our order! And food was delicious and great value! A nice glass of Pinot though I do like stemmed glass! Go here if in Cleveland on a nice night and enjoy !“

“Don't let the place fool you. Legit bar food. Great sounding specials. My smash burger special was a real smash and toppings perfect. Some say smash, but this had crispy edges and great flavor. True shot and a beer place. Next time I'll go for that too! Will be going back and taking co- workers.“

“I was staying at the Hilton this pass weekend. And stopped by the great room. Man did I have a great time. The host amber is VERY friendly talking to her is like talking to a long lost friend. Very nice very down to earth beautiful smile and was able to talk to us in Spanish! Also the bartender Moni I believe her name was . Was also fluent in Spanish and was super nice! We came back to the great room a few times over the weekend and amber remembered us held good conversation before getting us a server. We came back before we left back to Nyc to say good bye to her . They have the prefect person working as a host because she’s amazing with people definitely sets the tone of the hotel seeing her face and smile and personality to match. Very genuine soul !“

“Great ambience, the waitress was very nice and the food was decent. I had calamari as an appetizer ( it was subpar) and the short rib for an entree( delicious but small portion). I left still hungry. The bar staff was not very friendly. I will not rush back but overall I had a good experience.“

“I went ahead and gave em 5 stars because the Rusty Barre has REALLY good food, great bartenders/servers, Keno and Queen of Hearts!! Parking is somewhat troublesome at times!! But I think the limited parking keeps it from getting too crowded ??Anyway, if you're in the area (Dover Center/Center Ridge) and your tummy is growling or your mouth is dry, stop on in!You won't be disappointed!“

“I had a simple omelet, and my guest had a breakfast sandwich. We both enjoyed our meals, sides, and refreshments. The waitress was patient and courteous as we were in no rush to order or leave. She gave us an appropriate amount of space without ignoring our table. The environment was perfect for two friends catching up. Temperature was well controlled, and the nice music playing in the background aided in a comfortable noise level for a conversation. This was my first visit and I'm sure it won't be my last.“

“My husband and I wandered into Centro before a Cavs game. I am so grateful we did! The Centro is located within a hotel. We did not have a reservation but were able to get a table quickly. We enjoyed the lobster bisque and Caesar salad to start the meal. The lobster bisque was delicious and creamy! For our main dishes we enjoyed the lobster ravioli and agnolotti. The pasta was wonderful and VERY filling. We were not able to finish our main dishes because the starters with the bread that was provided were generous portions. The environment was relaxed and elegant. Our server was wonderful and made a mock tail for us after he found out I was expecting. He was funny and made our dinner service enjoyable.“

“Fun casual place in University Square district that we found while visiting the galleries at the Cleveland Institute of Art. Parking is a bit challenging during busy times. Nice mix of craft brews. Menu is typical pub fare but the food is good. Not reheated frozen stuff.“

“OMG. Decided to try this place out because of the camping theme. So glad I did. The smell of the wood fired stove had me drooling. Food was amazing. Seriously. The steak and fries…. I almost cried. Best damn steak I ever had. If you’re in Cleveland, drop what you’re doing and go. Now.“

“The food was so amazing and looked so good that no one took pictures! We immediately started eating and enjoyed every single bite! The chicken breast was delicious! The tacos and drinks. Everyone is looking forward to returning really soon.“

“If you're a fan of cheap Diner food like I am, this place is a great little stop. The prices are great and the meals are nicely portioned home cooking kind of meals. Building is definitely older and could probably do with some love, but I've also definitely seen far worse quality places. Service was a little on the slow side for a two person table, but they also had a large party eating and only appeared to have two waitress on at the time. Overall, I had a great time, and I'd definitely stop in again.“

“Very cool place. Awesome food, really nice prices with great service.We ordered a variety of things, from French toast, burgers and a salmon meal. Everything was top notch and cooked to perfection. We even tried 3 different smoothies and they were equally impressive. If your in the area, I recommend you try it. 10/10 in my opinion.“

“The workers were oddly, strict ... maybe not the right way to phrase it, but I was one of 3 people in line and they told me they were too busy to cut a sandwich in half for my daughters. Then stood around talking with each other. I used their knife after they walked away. Good food otherwise.“
