New American Restaurants near Lakewood, OH

“Solid food. Beef carpaccio was good. The dressing was really nice. Smash burger was also good. The potatoes that came with it were cooked perfectly, and the garlic ranch dressing for dipping was amazing. Ordered two wood fired pizza as well. Nice, fresh, fluffy dough. We would definitely come back“

“First time visiting this restaurant for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. Megan, our waitress was absolutely wonderful with a smile and such great service and recommendations for things on the menu. My friend Stacey and I really enjoyed the entire experience. The food was very tasty and healthy portion of delicious fries with my Divine Smashburger . I will be talking about this place to others on the east side of Cleveland. Definitely worth the drive. Would love to get this restaurant in my publication, Shoreline Faith & Family which is family faith based to launch in the summer so that others can see what a great restaurant it is. Love promoting those that go above and beyond to keep them around for years to come!! Cheers to the team and the owner here for providing such a wonderful place to meet.“

“Best patio in Lakewood. Food is solid and the service is absolutely incredible. Kyonna was incredibly personable and took amazing care of us. We will be back to try some more food, but what we had was decent for just stopping in for a handful of appetizers and cocktails. I'll be back just because the ambiance and service were impeccable. Thanks again Kyonna!“

“It’s impossible to say how good it is there. The food is always top notch. Any item on the menu is executed with care and technical skill. The service is always fantastic. A neurologist friend took me here many years ago as a graduation celebration from nursing school. I’ve been coming back ever since, and I’ve never had a disappointment for a night or meal. It’s always our go to on big date nights for the orchestra or concerts. The food is served quickly so you can get on with your night. Great work tonight guys, the meal was exceptional. With love-“

“What a treat! Anytime I have been to Pier W I feel spoiled. Took my mom and her 3 friends for her 89th Birthday and they all loved it!! We will definitely be back for her 90th! Thank you.“

“My boyfriend and I decided to finally try Rood on Valentine's Day after wanting to go for the past few years we've lived in Lakewood. I am not exaggerating when I say this was one of the best experiences and meals we have EVER had. Aside from the food, you could tell the staff really cared to ensure customers had an amazing experience. Will DEFINITELY be going back!“

“Amazing food with fresh quality ingredients!! The burnt ends were smokey, sweet, and a bit salty (not over salty!). Orchette toscana was perfectly creamy, not drowning in sauce, and the sausage was just right to complete the dish....not too spicy. The distillery burger was juicy and very flavorful. And the drinks, so so good! Read the descriptions and try what sounds good...there is something for everyone. We will definitely be back!“

“Great food and wonderful hospitality. The drinks are amazing“

“Great place with good food.“

“Found this place when I searched for best places to eat in Cleveland while we were on vacation and this one had good reviews and realistic prices so we decided to try it out and we are so glad we did! It was a warm and inviting atmosphere for being mostly a bar with extra seating. You felt like you were at home and all the staff treated you like you were family or a good friend and they looked happy to be there even though it got a bit busy when we had gotten there. Service was excellent, food was delicious, my husband got the ribs and he was in love. I tried the bbq sauce as I'm really picky about bbq sauces and it was delicious! The skull shaped cornbread was so good. I had a turkey club sandwich with the chips and the French onion dip is a must have. Great experience, we will definitely be back next time we are up in Cleveland!“

“Our meal was great! Kid-friendly. Great service! Comfortable local restaurant that was moderately busy, but not packed and we didn’t have to wait to be seated. Trivia night. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Rice bowl with chicken, boneless wings, burger, and turkey Rachel sandwich. Ryan brought out our apps and kept checking on us. We wouldn’t hesitate to return when we’re in the area!“

“Love Westsiders! Sunday Happy Hour? Sign me up! It’s always a fun and laid back vibe with top tier drinks, food and service. 10/10 recommend.“

“Great open kitchen, super well run front to back. Warm, inviting, hip menu that challenges you a bit. Super well executed, ingredient focused, balanced flavors. I was impressed“

“I love Germany“

“Roula was an amazing bartender. She made our experience memorable. We will definitely be returning soon!“

“Great service, fun employees!!“

“This is a beautiful restaurant, and I will definitely be back, so I’m still giving it 5 stars. However, I started upstairs at the bar, and the bartender working around 8 PM (her name started with an “R”) was unfortunately very rude. Her demeanor was off-putting from the start, and she didn’t even bother to wipe down the bar area for us.

My friend and I stood there for about three minutes waiting to be acknowledged while there was only one other person at the bar. I was honestly so shocked by the lack of customer service that I was ready to leave. My friend ended up moving the dirty cups and wiping down our area so we could sit down and wait for a drink. To make matters worse, we weren’t even given clean menus.

Thankfully, after our first round of drinks, we went outside to enjoy the fire pit area, and that completely changed the experience. Manager Mary was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Thank you, Mary!

I didn’t make a formal complaint because it wasn’t that serious, but I did want to mention it. Aside from that one bartender, every single staff member we encountered from the valet team to the greeters downstairs was friendly, welcoming, and amazing.

Overall, the restaurant is beautiful, the atmosphere is great, and because of the excellent service from the rest of the staff, I will definitely be back. :)“

“Had a family luncheon in the side room on Dec. 27. 10 people. We were all extremely pleased with our experience. Food was very good. Service was excellent, actually above and beyond. 1 waitress…Cherie… took very good care of our group. Very friendly and knowledgeable of the food. We’ll all be back!“

“Jessica was the best and we will come back for her“

“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“

“Just had a great lunch at BJ.’s. Excellent food and our waiter, Michael, was the best!!! I recommend eating here.“

“We were in Cleveland on Friday, coming from Milwaukee area. Our server, AJ was outstanding! He was very welcoming, fun to be around, & gave us great service. Steaks were great too. We all felt very worth our stop, especially be made to feel right at home by AJ.“

“Excellent experience with the chef’s tasting tonight. It’s a lot of food! Shoutout to Johnathan who gave flawless service and wine pairings!“

“We enjoyed a late dinner on a Friday evening. My husband had the beer battered perch, baked potato and a salad and I had a patty melt with fries. The fish has lots of breading but the fish was good. My patty melt was to be medium well but it came out medium rare. We took home a chocolate cheesecake and sugar cookies for our grandchildren. Very good!!“

“The food and service were great and can’t be being on the water!“

“Great Food excellent service“

“We found this gem today on our venture to Cleveland and we are very very happy we did! The food was absolutely fabulous! We shared the grilled octopus appetizer! So good it makes you do the eye roll and happy dance! My husband had the crab melt 🤤and I had the beef Lumpia!! We were so happy with our food and service! Fantastic and we will definitely be making the trip back!!“

The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure everything was just right. The drinks were expertly crafted, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Music and atmosphere created the perfect vibe without being overwhelming. Whether you're catching up with friends or just unwinding, this place truly delivers.

“A really nice neighborhood bar. It has the feel of a working man's bar. It's an atmosphere that I enjoy. The food I have tried is excellent with large portions. I had the best BLT of my life here. Usually I get the wings which far surpass Buffulo Wild Wings. The staff is friendly and very attentive. It is an out of the way place, but not far off the beaten path. I highly recommend.“

“Our favorite dinner spot ..the salmon sandwich, chicken sandwich and chicken salad melt are our first choices. All their soups.. and Irish Stout is excellent too.“

From crafting a personalized menu to flawlessly executing the catering logistics, they showcased professionalism and creativity. The seamless collaboration between our teams enhanced the overall wedding experience for previous couples and their guests. I highly recommend Sausalito on Ninth to any future clients looking for a catering partner that goes above and beyond to create memorable moments. I look forward to working future events with them.“

“We did a private party for our 50th wedding anniversary on 9/21/24. Everything was fantastic including the staff, the food and the atmosphere. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

“📍 Moosehead Tavern – Westlake, OH 📸 @mooseheadsaloonwestlake This place is all charm and chill vibes. It’s cozy inside with a cool little patio that makes it feel like your neighborhood hangout—but with better food. Stopped in for a quick lunch today and lucked out—half-off ribs was on deck, so you know I had to jump on that. 🍖 Ribs – 7.8/10 Fall-off-the-bone tender with a flavorful sauce that hit the spot. Not fancy, just solid and satisfying BBQ at a great deal. 🍟 Fries – A mountain. Literally. They gave me what felt like 4 pounds of crispy golden fries—no complaints there. 🍅 Ketchup – Unexpected MVP Not sure if it's house-made or some secret blend, but the ketchup was different... and honestly? Delicious. It added something extra to every bite. Whether you’re out for a laid-back meal or a quick bite on a deal day, Moosehead Tavern delivers. Check it out if you’re in the Westlake area! 🍽️ Two food lovers, one page—justifying our epic food binges, one bite at a time.

“I eat here often and it’s consistently good food and great service. The pulled pork sandwich and the Thai chicken salad are favorites. So flavorful and always delicious. The staff is friendly and personable, always there when you need them, and not when you don’t. They are upbeat and positive which reflects well on the management at Marriott and makes for a pleasant experience for all. Megan always goes above and beyond.“
