Five Star Restaurants in Cleveland

Cleveland's five-star restaurants have finally hit the map, and there are plenty of great restaurants to choose from. Start your Cleveland fine dining experience at Lola Bistro. Chef/owner Michael Symon, of Food Network's Iron Chef fame, is one of Cleveland's most beloved celebrity chefs. Sophisticated and sexy are adjectives often used to describe the atmosphere at Lola, his popular downtown restaurant. The menu is similarly chic, with a few twists -- you can get crispy sweetbreads with leeks and blue cheese for dinner, or a fried bologna sandwich with pickles at lunch. Fresh fish, steaks, and ribs ensure there's something for everyone.

One of our must-visit restaurants is Table 45. Chef Zack Bruell has been garnering rave reviews for his minimalist restaurant that showcases global fusion cuisine with bistro flavors. From Chinese steamed mussels with ginger and black-bean sauce to oven-warm naan with three dipping sauces, appetizers are varied and adventurous. Bruell's intimate chef's tables inside the kitchen have become a culinary hot ticket, where diners feast on such specialties as grilled chicken with watercress and rosemary pommes frites with beurre blanc; and crispy, seared duck breast with mashed cauliflower and a sherry vinegar sauce.

For authentic Italian food in Cleveland, visit La Dolce Vita. Fellini's classic 1960 film La Dolce Vita, or "The Sweet Life," is the inspiration for this Little Italy restaurant. But where Fellini focuses on the alienation of modern hedonism, the restaurant of the same name wisely focuses on authentic Italian food. Much of the menu is based around daily specials of fish, risotto and pasta, among other things. So go ahead and indulge in "the sweet life" by visiting any of these Cleveland five-star restaurants.
