-
Chinese cuisine:
- Li Wah - near-downtown Cleveland
- C & Y - near-downtown Cleveland
- Garden Cafe - near-downtown Cleveland; this small restaurant is a gem; very tasty, clean, inexpensive, and the food served is very visually appealing!
- Stir Fire - Fairlawn; fresh, flavorful; you pick the veggies and fixin's, and it's cooked before your eyes
-
Other Asian cuisines
(Unfortunately, I've not tried any locally in recent years, but here are some that have been recommended to me):
- Siam Cafe (Chinese & Vietnamese)- near-downtown Cleveland; highly recommended to me
- #1 Pho (Vietnamese) - near-downtown Cleveland; highly recommended to me
- Jaipur Junction (Indian) - Middleburg Heights; heard it's very authentic and tasty
- Mango Thai (Thai) - Strongsville; just opened and is always packed at dinner time Sweet Mango Restaurant Link
-
Italian cuisine:
- Olive Garden - national chain restaurant but pretty decent; my son is partial to the breadsticks and I really enjoy the salads
- Macaroni Grille - national chain restaurant and very good; my favorite is the shimp pasta with pinenuts
- almost any restaurant in Little Italy - on Mayfield Road (north of Euclid); I usually let my friends pick the latest and greatest; since there's a number of good restaurants almost side-by-side, my only requirements are quality food and service, and please do not make me wait in line too long!
- Stino da Napoli - Rocky River; I'm chomping at the bit to try this restaurant; their desserts are home-made and heavenly, and I've heard nothing but rave reviews of the food and service
-
Mexican cuisine:
- Chipotle's - national fastfood chain but they certainly have great fajita's and burrito's
- Baja Fresh - ditto
- I've tried several recommendations but found those restaurants to be mediocre at best; one that I will try soon is a local chain called Cozumel -- supposedly very good; we'll see
-
Excellence in Steak & Seafood:
- Don's Pomoroy House - Strongsville; excellent service as well
- Pier W - Lakewood; ditto above, plus you get a wonderful lake view
