    36976 Detroit Rd., Avon Western Suburbs

    440-934-0061

    The eclectic, globally inspired menu at this fine-dining venue (a thoroughly renovated 1850s farmhouse) focuses on intensely flavored preparations assembled from extravagant ingredients. From fanciful salads to lush meats and seafood, the food is muscular, creative, and generally delicious. Out-of-the-ordinary wine list.
  • Noosa Bistro

    7418 Mentor Ave. Mentor/Lake County

    440-953-1088

    When it comes to value, this neighborhood bistro delivers, with a well-crafted array of contemporary preparations — think dishes like sautéed mango shrimp or pan-seared duck breast with strawberry vinaigrette — at moderate prices. Smart selection of martinis and wine.
  • One Red Door

    49 Village Way, Hudson Akron/Summit County

    330-342-3667

    Chef/owner Zack Bruell has netted nearly all the fish in the sea to craft his Asian-tweaked oceanic menu. Impeccably fresh fish is served raw, poached, deep-fried, grilled, roasted, seared and sautéed. Stellar sushi courtesy of in-house sushi chef. Many wonderful non-fish selections as well.

    200 Park Avenue, Beachwood Eastern Suburbs

    (216) 535-2100

  • Pura Vida

    170 Euclid Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-987-0100

    Veteran chef Brandt Evans' Public Square restaurant is a breath of fresh air for downtowners, with a spare decor, an urbane vibe, and rustically refined menus built from local, sustainable ingredients. A stickler for details, Evans pays equal attention to every element of a dish. He does, however, leave room for whimsy, as evidenced by the occasional odd ingredient and deconstructed arrangement. Full bar.
  • Red the Steakhouse

    3355 Richmond Rd., Beachwood Eastern Suburbs

    216-831-2252

    Luscious slabs of beef and creative, indulgent salads, sides and desserts make this modern American steakhouse a prime location for well-heeled meat-eaters. A well-organized wine list, gracious service and contemporary rustic decor with a Napa-like sophistication complete the region’s best steakhouse.

  • Rockefeller's

    3099 Mayfield Rd., Cleveland Heights Eastern Suburbs

    216-321-0477

    For years, this breathtakingly beautiful French Norman space has been reserved for private functions. With the unveiling of Rockefeller's, guests now can dine in an extravagant room built for a tycoon. Seasonal American with the occasional Asian kick, the dishes are creative but restrained and always delicious. Lounge seating with a complementary menu gives late-night noshers a tasteful place to roost.

    One Club Drive, Highland Heights Eastern Suburbs

  • Six Horses Tavern

    30 Shawnee Trl., Aurora Kent/Portage County

    3305620767

  • South Market Bistro

    151 S. Market St., Wooster Akron/Summit County

    330-264-3663

    This is what happens when you mix devotion to mindful living with a straight-out passion for delicious food: You get deceptively simple and savory entrées — like slow-roasted pork shoulder or braised breast of free-range chicken — inspired by seasonal, regional and often organic ingredients, and an artfully rustic ambiance that underscores the handcrafted quality of the cuisine. Yes, it is a long ride to Wooster. But it's worth it.
  • Spirits

    1276 W 6th St Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-621-5000

  • Table 45

    9801 Carnegie Ave. (Intercontinental Hotel) East Side/University Circle/Little Italy

    216-707-4045

    A happy alliance of modern architecture and contemporary cuisine, Table 45 offers an enticing collection of global fare that blends sophistication with unpretentious appeal. The kitchen may borrow freely from Indian, Mediterranean, and South American pantries, but the clear, focused flavors are all its own.

    330-376-7171

  • Touch Supper Club

    2710 Lorain Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-631-5200

    Touch’s DJs spin the freshest cuts in town. They’ll also play stuff you’ve heard, but the DJs here pride themselves on the funk, soul, indie rock, and dance remixes that never hit the Top 40.
  • Treelawn Social Club

    15335 Waterloo Rd East Side/University Circle/Little Italy

  • Wonder Bar

    2044 E. 4th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-298-4050

    This mellow East Fourth St. bar packs no shortage of different styles on its stage — everything from reggae and blues to jazz and R&B. On weekends, DJs take over for the late shift.
  • XO Prime Steakhouse

    500 W. St. Clair Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-861-1919

    Zdenko Zovkic has given the usual staid steakhouse scene a smart, contemporary twist, turning this high-profile restaurant into a svelte, sexy destination. While the steaks, all USDA prime, are the real stars, the lengthy menu goes well beyond to include luxurious fish and seafood alternatives. Meantime, seats in XO's uncluttered lounge are prime space for sampling the neighborhood's urbane vibe.
