50 Best American Restaurants near Bay Village

“Everything was spot on. the wine was nice at a reasonable price pappardelle pasta was just incredible... perfectly flavored with homemade noodles. Only downside was sitting facing west toward the west side of the patio the sun came in and blasted us on our way down. Seasonal issue. Will return.“

“This is our family's go to spot when we want to go out for a casual, quick, and delicious meal. The service is excellent. The servers are very friendly. They remembered us even though we have only been there a few times. We love supporting this local spot.Dietary restrictions: Lots of GF and vegetarian options“

“Bay Diner has wonderful service (Kaylee was our server). She was attentive and got our food to us about 12 minutes after ordering. The food was great along with the presentation of the food. The chairs were worn out and the bathroom could have been cleaner. The root beer was thick, a lot sweeter than it was supposed to be, and flat (the brand was mug). the overall Diner was clean and it was an enjoyable environment. Bay Diner was truly amazing and I hope to be back soon.“

“We had a delicious dinner at Houlihans Westlake. The scallops I had were excellent and nicely prepared. My husband had the Chicken Picatta, which was, unfortunately, overcooked, but our server, Kelly, was fantastic and exchanged his meal for one perfectly cooked. Kelly saved the day! She made our dining experience lovely! Thank you!“

“Excellent dinner tonight on the patio. Nick took great care of us again. Will be back soon.“

“We had the pleasure of dining at Pier W for lunch today, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the delicious food to the impeccable service and breathtaking view, this restaurant truly has it all. First and foremost, the food was a culinary delight. I had the Walleye and my wife had the scallops for our main course. The crab cakes & shrimp cocktail were our choice for appetizer. All dishes were a symphony of flavors. The ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was as artistic as it was delicious. The service was equally impressive. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile, and our server, Ellen was well-versed in the menu, helping us make the perfect choices. The pace of the meal was just right, allowing us to savor each course without feeling rushed.“

“This was the first time I have been here and it’s a cute little family owned diner. Places like these are Gems. They made the Best home fries I ever had! They’re made from scratch and not frozen. They came with the steak and eggs breakfast which was cooked perfectly absolutely delicious. The staff is super friendly. Mh wife and I will most definitely be returning!“

“Ladies Night Out - ten women, one with Celiac Disease - everyone loved it! Great service and delicious food options including a gluten free menu. It was a tad noisy, but we know how to raise our voices! I look forward to going back often!Dietary restrictions: They have a wonderful Gluten Free menu with many option including corn tacos, gf pasta, many salads and even dessert!“

“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!“

“I work very close to Edacious & when I need a brief respite from the hustles& bustle of my job this is my go to. I can't say enough positive things about the food. My favorite is the Chicken Paillard but you really can't go wrong. Service is great. Bartender fantastic. Music always good. Surprising little gem in Avon Lake., The only bummer is the view of the old power plant, hopefully that will be disappearing soon. For now look the other direction and enjoy this fabulous place“

“Showed up in time to enjoy happy hour and it was DELICIOUS! We ordered lamb meatballs, koi hoisin pork belly, and mussels with togarashi puree. The meatballs were tender, moist, cheesy, and flavorful (ngl gave luxury ikea meatballs and I wasn't mad about it). The pork belly was a mouthful of flavor and texture, with crisp skin, and beautiful celeriac puree combined with the crunchy pickle/kimchi radish. The mussels made fun to play with tiny forks, grilled sourdough bread, rich and perfectly cooked but definitely not enough bread for scooping up a sauce so good. Unfortunately unimpressed by the marg, but the Elder Collins made up for it. We continued with the epic eats and had the charred octopus and duck bucatini. I'm a sucker for anywhere that serves octopus in a single tentacle over pieces and this one lived up to it. Cooked to perfection with complimentary flavors and textures combining bites of octopus, crispy potatoes, and salsa verde was incredible. The duck bucatini featured housemade ground duck sausage and bucatini from the local Flour Pasta Co. Incredible flavors, creamy but not heavy, somehow light and a bit citrusy, fresh yet rich with the duck. We ran out of room before getting to the pie (which is apparently one of their showstoppers) but we are looking forward to returning sooner than I think. The ambiance was fun, beware it gets surprisingly dark once the sun is down for the day. My only complaint was the marg (feels to easy to get wrong) and we did get asked by the server a bit excessively how it was going. Neither of which will skew my rating or next visit. Can't wait to give the rest of the menu a shot.“

“First time visitors while we were shopping nearby. Food was delicious, arrived quickly on a busy night, and the server Nancy was a true professional. We tried to save some of the onion rings appetizer to take home but the two of us finished them all before the food arrived! I had the small Ahi crunchy salad but it was a perfect dinner portion.“

“Great food atmosphere location… had a good waitress! I recommend everyone to come in and dine at least once..“

“My cousin and I went to swensons early this evening and my servicer was shekina. She was extremely efficient, sweet and very patient. Every question we had she answered without hesitation and with a smile on her face the entire time. The food was very hot, fresh and delivered fast. I don’t think I have had better service at swensons then I did tonight. We definitely will be coming back when she is working.“

“Mia was our server at the bar ( not sure if I spelled her name right)Excellent server, professional, sweet, and adorable!Did not engage with the other servers and paid attention to the customers she had in front of her. Very rare to have someone so attentive and friendlyShe has been there a while because we remembered her from our past visit. It was nice to see someone still employed there and still happy❤️BJ bowl was so good!!!“

“Great place for food and friends!“

“Love The Garden! Great food...delicious and plentiful. Variety of menu choices. Breakfasts are fantastic. Service is excellent and comfortable. I highly recommend.“

“This is a very interesting and cool place to visit. From the beer selection to the facility it self. Being a brewing company with a wide variety of Ales and IPAs for everyone. We loved the self guided tour you can take. It's just a walk around hallway posted on the walls. It tells you the beginning history of the Fat Head Company and how it landed in Ohio. Yes....we purchased a tin sign for the garage.“

“I've been here several times and have always had a positive experience, from the friendly service to the delicious food. Today's Easter brunch was no exception; not only did everything on the buffet taste fresh, but the staff continually replenished the food to ensure everyone was able to enjoy it. Our server Dan was also so sweet and made our family outing that much more enjoyable. This place is such a gem in Westlake!“

“What a perfect breakfast! On our way to the airport and stopped for some food. CFS, biscuits, gravy, French toast, pancakes, eggs, country potatoes, ALL perfect and amazing. Can't imagine being more satisfied with a diner breakfast.Kid-friendliness: Great family atmosphere“

“A little hidden gem in Avon Lake, Ohio. Friendly staff and polite hardworking employees everywhere you turn. We made reservations and they were accommodating. It’s a family friendly or date night kind of place. They have a small bar area up front with wine bottles every where, really cool vibes. The fresh bread and garlic butter are amazing. The Chicken Alfredo can easily feed 3-4 people, it’s HUGE! The grouper dish was good too. We had side of shrimp and calamari as well. Next time will save room for those delicious looking desserts. Clean and cozy spot!Parking: Parking lot upfront the restaurant.“

“Had a the grindstone burger! Truly the best burger I've ever had. The BBQ sauce on it was top notch! Do ur self a favor, take onion rings, onions and lettuce off and get some mac n cheese with it and put it ON the burger with it! ??? we live close to 2 hours away but already looking forward to coming back!“

“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.“

“Overall an excellent meal & service was great. For this night (a Friday), they definitely needed to flip tables for the next reservation, so if you are looking to linger longer, you'll have to move to the bar. But always great food known for their fresh fish selections.“

“LOVE Mike's ❤️!! Always GREAT food! Great beer selection! Fast, friendly service. I had the beet burger! It was delicious ?!!! Yes, beet!!! And creamy goat ? cheese. Mmm mmmmVegetarian options: The best BEET ? BURGER!Parking: Street and lot behind“

“We haven’t been here in forever. I believe we will continue to stay away. Sadly my garlic parm wings were overcooked very dry and not much sauce. Not to mention they charged us $2 for it. On the positive side my husband’s fish was good. But that’s about it.“

“Our first time was today at the Father’s Day buffet and we had a great time! Loved the inlet bar and the slider bar.“

“Awesome deli/restaurant. My husband loves the corned beef sandwich. It's huge!! We end up taking some of the meat home and we can make another sandwich. I like that you can get a half sandwich with soup or salad (I wish they would give you an option for a fruit bowl) which is very filling. One of my friends ordered the Saturday prime rib special. I believe it was $30.95 for an 12 to 14 oz prime rib served with soup or salad, potato and fresh green beans. The prime rib was huge and she let me try it and it was delicious. The au jus was one of the best I have had. Oh and the desserts are amazing. If you see something you like order and pay for it at the counter before you sit down. They will refrigerate it until after you eat. The reason I mention this is they do run out of some of the desserts. I specifically like on called France and want to make sure I get a slice. Oh on a previous visit I had the matzo ball soup and it was very good. I highly recommended Joe's!!“

“Went to Rosewood for a brunch with a party of 7. They were very accommodating and put us in the private dining room. Which was much appreciated because we had younglings with us.My friend and I ordered the French dip and the breakfast burger and we split them between us.We both liked the breakfast burger better. We asked to sub the sunny side up egg with scrambled egg.Service was great and friendly.“

“If you have not tried aces depot do your mouth a real favor and go immediately the food was absolutely amazing everything you order is made fresh and in house had passed this bar and grill for many years and never thought to go try it finally did and if I could give 10 stars I absolutely would best food in the area amongst all other restaurants and bars in the area the bartender was absolutely amazing very on top of everything and would educate you on everything they have or that they can make“

“Our first time was today at the Father’s Day buffet and we had a great time! Loved the inlet bar and the slider bar.“

“My son and I enjoyed the French onion soup, the seafood chowder and the maple bacon Wagyu burger with truffle fries. The service was wonderful. The food was absolutely delicious and it was pleasantly quiet where we could have a conversation without screaming.We will definitely return to sample other things on the menu, especially if Vitt would be there as our server.“

“Food was delicious. I had the spinach dip and the philly cheese steak. The beer was cold and they had a lot of local options. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were very personable and attentive. I was there for the solar eclipse and made several friends at the bar with my extra eclipse glasses. Would definitely recommend visiting here.“
