I’ve been fortunate enough to try many of the restaurants in Cleveland, but the lamb chops at Lola are T.D.F.!!!

Shuhei… what can I say, I LOVE sushi! My favorite thing to order – seaweed salad and the South Pacific Roll. Does this count even though it is a ‘burb restaurant?

Downtown – Bar Cento

Oh how I want to win this. (do I get an extra entry for being on the channel 5 clip about the Greenhouse???)
It’s so hard to pick a favorite though. It’s what I would think picking a favorite child would be like.
I love me a Cleveland restaurant. Because I have to pick one I am going to say Lolita. I have had some great dinners there and both the food and the company has been memorable.

gah I want to win this so badly
! I graduate on the 7th and return to Akron that day so I’d be home! What a perfect way to celebrate my masters! In downtown I love Flannery’s where I get either the turkey slaw Reuben, or the flannery salad. I also like CPK at Legacy village although it is a chain;)

Hard to pick just one! Love the hanger steak at Lola, the spider roll at Pacific east, the flat bread chicken salad at Pier W, the chicken shishtawook pita (sp?) at Joe’s Deli in Rocky River or almost any sandwich at Melt. Yum! I’m a big fan of eating at local, non-chain restaurants & can’t pick just one thing!

Oh fun! I’d love to win this!

Picking a fave is hard but I’m a sucker for sushi and Ariyoshi on Lee is fantabulous. The Kyoto roll is amazing and the owner/sushi chef, John, is just so nice and accommodating.

I love love love so many Cleveland restaurants but my new favorites are L’Albatros or Chinato (both Zach B.) The service is impecable and food outstanding!! Best appetizer from Chinato is the Suppli al telefono – roman fritters or fried rice balls!! Amazing. Best entree from L’Albatros is the mussels with Pomme frites!!!

Oh I hope I win! My fav place to eat is Alladin’s hands down. My fav thing to get there is one of their hummus/veggie wraps and their yummy lebanese salad.

My favorite Cleveland restaurant is Bar Cento and my favorite menu item is most definitely the Sunnyside Pizza. However, no trip there is complete without having the Belgian Frites!

I’m always very happy when I go to Sasa Matsu. My favorite dish there is the SASA Fire roll, flaming sushi with lobster and crab!

I love The Wine Bar in Rocky River. It is such a cozy little restaurant and if you eat in the front room they play Food Network on the tv above the fireplace.

The WINO fries are amazing! I devour them every time!

SO hard to just choose just one fav restaurant! I have to say Lure Bistro in downtown Willoughby. It is SO underrated! I typically get the crab crusted grouper with crunchy spinach and roasted potatoes…it’s heaven! @bridgey27

Hmmm… tough one. I am going to have to say my new favorite is the Pad Thai (with tofu) from Bac! I am mildly obsessed with it. Old favorite would be the Pilgrim sandwich from Moosehead, which is no longer on the menu- COME ON PEOPLE BRING IT BACK- but they have a smoked turkey sandwich that is pretty darn close!

Can I just do a Chef’s tasting every month? Seriously, that is the way to go, trust your chef and good things will come to you!

Hard to pick just one…I’ll go with Bar Cento and I always order the Pomme Frites. If I’m ever on death row, that’s my last meal. A close second is the fried brussel sprouts at Lolita (and Lola, and B-spot and Bar Symon)

I tweeted this yesterday but I forgot to leave a comment!

100% hands down Nighttown (on Cedar Hill) and the Dublin Lawyer, which definitely follows their version of calamari which is TDF. Swear, promise, ask Tim! We should all go sometime you would love it!

I’m kind of obsessed with the chicken sandwich from B Spot. I believe its called the chick magnet. ….. I’d eat one every day if I could

Not sure if i’m too late, but hands down the Crab Crusted Grouper at Lure in downtown Willoughby. Everything is about it is amazing – and it’s on their date night menu on Wednesday nights, which makes it even better
