Austin's Smokin' Steak House

6535 Wilson Mills Rd., Mayfield Eastern Suburbs

440-442-4340

Steaks & Seafood, Menu

Wild, woodsy aromas suffuse this friendly little restaurant, where hickory smoking, slow cooking, and mesquite grilling are the order of the day. Nearly everything, from the thick, sweet, and peppery BBQ sauce to the delicate biscuits in the strawberry shortcake, is made fresh and in-house. And for a real taste of the ol' West, be sure to try the zesty Smokin' Beans.
Bahama Breeze

3900 Orange Pl., Orange Village Eastern Suburbs

216-896-9081

American, Menu

Although the kitchen at this Caribbean-themed restaurant (part of the Darden Restaurants chain) tends to keep the heat turned down, much of the food — such as pressed Cuban sandwiches, butterflied coconut prawns, pan-seared pork tenderloin in a rummy demiglace — is flavorful and attentively prepared. Still, the real draw is the bustling bar scene, fueled by shooters, beer, and boozy, fruity, and frozen concoctions designed to make every night feel like a week at the beach.
Beach Club Bistro

21939 Lake Shore Blvd., Euclid Eastern Suburbs

216-731-7499

Casually upscale and unselfconsciously cool, this neighborhood bistro is home to delicious gourmet pizzas, an intriguing collection of fish and seafood dishes, and a dashing wine list containing one of the region’s largest assortment of half-bottles.
Bravo! Cucina Italiana

28889 Chagrin Blvd., Woodmere Eastern Suburbs

216-360-0099

Italian, Menu

Reasonably priced, family-friendly dining inside an upscale, Disneyesque facsimile of ancient Roman ruins is this Columbus-based restaurant's claim to fame. The menu focuses on pasta, pizza, or wood-grilled meats; for dessert, the partially caramelized cheesecake, in a pool of crème anglaise, tastes like more.
Brennan's Colony

2299 Lee Rd., Cleveland Hts. Eastern Suburbs

216-371-1010

American, Menu

Still our pick for one of the best dinner values in town, Brennan's manages to combine the vibe of a well-worn bar with the quality of a contemporary bistro. While the kitchen does right by burgers, steaks, and sandwiches, the real thrills are the daily specials — full-meal deals ranging from porkchops, fresh fish, chicken and pasta, pegged at $22 or less.

Brio Tuscan Grille

24325 Cedar Rd., Lyndhurst Eastern Suburbs

216-297-9232

Italian

The vast open dining room and mechanical service can make a meal here seem sort of hectic. On the upside, however, well-prepared entrées, such as rack of lamb and lasagna Bolognese, are both tasty and sensibly priced. Part of a Columbus-based chain.

25365 Cedar Rd., Lyndhurst Eastern Suburbs

216-382-4907

Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse

26300 Chagrin Blvd. (in the Clarion Hotel), Beachwood Eastern Suburbs

216-464-0688

American, Menu

HPP's Beachwood location is big, manly and urbane, with all the trappings of an upscale midwestern steakhouse. Happily, the food — shrimp cocktails, Kobe beef burgers and of course, thick, juicy steaks — is as satisfying as the setting, and the place is as popular for after-work unwinding as it is for weekend splurges.
Lopez Southwestern Food Club

2196 Lee Rd., Cleveland Hts. Eastern Suburbs

Mexican

Colorful, quirky, yet sophisticated, Lopez's urbane charms present the perfect backdrop to its creative menu of "gourmet Tex-Mex" fare, ranging from lobster empanadas to mahi-mahi tacos and blue-cheese-piqued guacamole. There's also a solid selection of homemade desserts and an impressive array of top-shelf anejo tequilas.

Maggiano's Little Italy

26300 Cedar Rd., Beachwood Eastern Suburbs

Italian, Menu

Once you get past the fact that this restaurant is in an upscale fashion mall and nowhere near our real Little Italy, you’re likely to enjoy the elegant, 1950s-style decor and the big menu of well-prepared southern Italian standards served in oversized portions just right for sharing.

Eclectic, Menu

As cozy as a colonial tavern, this well-appointed dining room in the middle of secluded Gates Mills features an eclectic lineup of Italian standards, along with an assortment of sandwiches, burgers, chops, and a popular chicken pot pie. While not every dish is as magical as the setting, Sara’s makes a convenient, non-chain-linked alternative for suburban East Siders.
Shuhei

Taza

28601 Chagrin Blvd., Woodmere Eastern Suburbs

216-464-4000

Middle Eastern, Menu

A sort of grown-up version of the health-conscious, vegetarian-friendly Aladdin’s Eateries, Taza is all that — and a full bar too. Despite the handsome decor and upscale appointments, the casual attitude and big menu of Lebanese standards will strike a familiar note with Aladdin’s fans. Other upgrades include freshly baked pita, kebabs taken straight off the charcoal grill, and a big assortment of traditional Middle Eastern meze, just right for sharing around the table.
