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.
Ballantine

4113 Erie St., Willoughby Mentor/Lake County

440-942-5151

440-285-3100

American

Casual, cozy, and with a splendid secluded patio for warm-weather dining, this upscale tavern offers everything from burgers and ribs to filet mignon and veal medallions. The surrounding countryside is charming, and getting there on the winding Geauga County roads is almost half the fun.
Battiste & Dupree Cajun Grill

1992 Warrensville Center Rd., S. Euclid Eastern Suburbs

216-381-3341

Cajun/Creole

Owner, chef, host, server, bartender, and busser: Junior Battiste really does it all. As a result, dining in this teensy Cajun restaurant can be an adventure, marked by warmth, whimsy, and occasionally slow service. Still, those who value style and substance over speed won't be disappointed: Junior's made-from-scratch cookin' is some of the best in town.
BD's Mongolian Grill

1854 Coventry Rd., Cleveland Hts. Eastern Suburbs

216-932-1185

Asian/Indian/Middle Eastern, Menu

BD's takes the salad-bar concept one step beyond: Rather than just assembling a plate of greens, you choose from an assortment of raw meats and vegetables, douse them with flavored oils and sauces, sprinkle on an assortment of spices, nuts, and seasonings, and hand the whole shebang over to cooks manning an enormous 600-degree steel grill. Recipe cards are provided for the unimaginative.

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.

Corky & Lenny's

27091 Chagrin Blvd., Woodmere Eastern Suburbs

216-464-3838

American, Menu

Despite its bright new decor, Corky & Lenny's remains that most venerable of urban eating establishments: a good Jewish deli.

Fisher's Tavern

718 SOM Center Rd., Mayfield Eastern Suburbs
