Mon 11/3-Sat 11/15
Cleveland Independents represents more than 80 locally owned dining establishments, helping to make people aware of what an array of such boutique operations we’re blessed with. It’s been doing so for a decade, ten years in which the local dining scene has grown exponentially.
One of its biggest annual promotions is Cleveland Restaurant Week, which kicks off Mon 11/3 and runs through Sat 11/15 (Yeah, yeah, I know, but “Cleveland Restaurant Two Weeks” doesn’t have the same ring to it). During that time, many of their members are offering a three-course prix fixe menu for $33 (plus taxes and tips, of course).
The restaurants participating including all sorts of places, from casual ones like Melt Bar and Grilled to bistros like Spice and Bistro 185 to upscale eateries like Red, the Steakhouse and Pier W, and ethnic cuisines ranging from Sterle’s old-world eastern European specialties to Anatolia’s Middle Eastern food (pictured). They’re in every part of northeast Ohio too, even Akron.
Check out the list here and go make a reservation to try some place you’ve heard good things about but haven’t gotten around to visiting yet.
