The Greenhouse Tavern Cleveland Chef-owner Jonathon Sawyer’s soon-to-open downtown spot will be a certified “green” restaurant with a rooftop patio and a menu featuring comfort foods with a pedigree, like dry-aged Ohio lamb saddle and roasted Tea Hills chicken. 2038 East Fourth Street; 216-393-4302
The New American Tavern
The Brits have gastropubs, the French have gastro-bistros, and now we have gastro-taverns—smart, casual spots serving excellent drinks and modern takes on American (and global) comfort foods. Think of them as burgers-and-beer joints for the foodie crowd.
