New American Restaurants near Lakewood, OH

“First time visiting this restaurant, but they won me over, 100%! Their shrimp polenta is one of my favorite restaurant meals; I will be back to have it again! The rest of the family chose pizzas, which they enjoyed, their bar steak - very flavorful and cooked as ordered - and the chicken milanese. Not a sad face from one of the none of us. The service was great! We arrived before the crowds starting pouring in, so perfect timing. They have a small amount of patio seating on the street side as well. YUM!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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!“

Our sever Avery was the best part, she was efficient, knowledgeable, accommodating, kind and all around just an incredible server - honesty the best service we’ve had anywhere in a long time. Thanks for the fun night Georgetown!“

“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“

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!!“

“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!“

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

We wouldn’t hesitate to return when we’re in the area!“

“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“

“My family had our flight from Vegas to Tampa canceled and had to divert to Cleveland for an all day layover. We discovered Currito restaurant in the airport. First it was the protein shake. Then we had a burrito and bowl with chicken and options. It was seriously the best tasting and healthiest I’ve ever had! Protein and Vitamin blast shakes tasted awesome with natural ingredients and low or no sugar. Seriously so much better than Chipotle/Jamba Juice/Smoothie King combined. Prices reasonable. Staff very friendly. Food set up super clean. Not expected for airport setting! Funny thing is that Chik Filet and Shake Shack was crowded and we had no line for currito. People go to the mediocre big box places and miss out on quality maybe because of lack of name recognition? If there are no Currito restaurants near Sarasota Florida I hope you will open one!!“

“The food was incredible, so tasty. We got the short ribs over lo mein, and the filet with a side of mashed potato’s. The flavor was packed into everything. The sauces were amazing. Everything was just perfect. They also brought out a small dish of ice cream for our anniversary. Our waitress was fantastic. Will definitely be returning next time we’re in town!“

“Came in with a fairly large group of ladies. All of the food was delicious! I had the chicken philly....soooo good! Jenna was our server. She was super sweet and handled all of our requests and needs with a smile. Highly recommend stopping in and giving this place a try. They really do care about their customers!“

“Zak our server was incredible! Very personable and incredibly fast and efficient. Thanks for making our friends bday party great!“

“Working with Sausalito on Ninth was an absolute pleasure as a wedding planner. 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. June was super helpful. We grew up in the neighborhood and this was the perfect place. Highly recommend for a private party.“

“Bagley Grill has excellent food good prices friendly customers and most definitely friendly staff including the three owners I would most definitely recommend it to Everyone try it you’ll love it“

“Galena and Tiffany are amazing bartenders and deserve the utmost praise (and raises if they are available, just sayin like super great bartenders, don't lose them) and the drinks are top-notch, literally everything I ordered off the menu was delicious and I will definitely be coming back here next time I am in Cleveland

The music was a little loud and that's my only complaint“

We’ll definitely be back in the future!“

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.“
