5 Best Bistros near Cleveland

“I'm a little late posting this review. Dropped my son at Case in August and wandered downtown for a while. Stopped here for a quick bite. Realized it was cash only after ordering. The owner and the man behind me picked up my meal. I am so grateful for both their kindness. Now, getting to the food. This meal was ridiculously inexpensive, I think maybe 7 bucks with tax. my portion was incredible generous. I did tofu and vegetables and it was hot, fresh, and delicious. The veggies were just just lightly cooked and the sauce was scrumptious. I learned (finally) the difference between brown and white tofu and can now say that the texture of brown tofu is fantastic! I'm so glad I stopped here and super grateful to the owner and a kind stranger for the delicious meal! ❤️“

“Local West makes a great cuban with tender pork and delicious bread. I had enough to easily split with aomeone. Also, their sweet potato fries are awesome! However, my wife's burger was overcooked to the point of being quite dry, which is a shame because it was flavorful. This place is worth coming back for a second chance, though.“

“Great environment. Good food. Amazing service“

“I like small places with character, good service and a chef that knows how to prepare interesting dishes and Tartine checked off all of those. In the Historic District of Rocky River this small restaurant with bar has a small but very interesting menu with a staff that was friendly and helpful from our entrance. The menu has two sides with meat and vegan choices with a focus on tartines, appetizers and soups. We had the Fromage Board, Butternut & Apple Bisque and the Duck Tartine. The cheeses were not exotic but abundant served with a good bread and jam. The Butternut Apple soup lacked flavor of Butternut Squash or Apple but the Duck Tartine was delicious. The star was our desert - the Pistachio Cheesecake tooped with an Italian Meringue which was outstanding. I'd be happy to return and try the other choices.“

“Today was another great sandwich for lunch. Breaded Pork Cutlet...amazing.“
