the mayfield one is not as good as the others, the Chagrin Blvd one is the best, followed by the one in chagrin falls. (IMHO)

the owners, The Shibleys, are not greek AFAIK, but they could be...

that's an interesting observation. I find the food and service to be good (and not discernibly different) at all the locations. If you are talking about atmosphere or charm, I would probably agree with you.

Just breezed over this thread and didn't read every post thoroughly but...

I'm shocked noone mentioned the Cleveland Chophouse. The gf and I loved it. We stayed in Cleveland for 2 days and had dinner there both days. Wonderful! I think it's in the "Warehouse District"? :confused: Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

We want to go back just for that place.

Btw, the R & R hall of fame is a waste of time. Well, it's fine enough if you're already in Cleveland but don't travel there mainly for that.

The Chophouse is fine. I've been there many times, mainly for lunch, but on several occasions for dinner. For a similar experience you might want to try John Q's which is right on public square. Neither place is quite a Morton's or Hyde Park, but good cow nonetheless.

edited to add: re the R&R HOF, I go about once a year, as they change up the exhibits from time-to-time. It's not someplace you need to spend all day at, though, and I agree that I wouldn't make it the focal point of a trip to Cleveland. But since I live here, I'm glad that I get to enjoy it regularly.

they're all good, I think the quality of the cooking is just slightly worse at the mayfield one...

I really enjoy the Cleveland Chophouse, I've mentioned it in a CLE thread elsewhere sometime. I also prefer it over John Q's and Mortons (can hit Mortons in too many other cities). Most of our client entertaining ends up at the Shoreby, but if I'm taking just one or two people, or on my own, Cleveland Chophouse is usually where I/we end up.

Corky & Lenny's Linked to Salmonella Cases

:eek:

The Cuyahoga County Board of Health has confirmed six cases of salmonella infection and is investigating four more suspected cases in which people were sickened, allegedly after dining at the popular Woodmere restaurant Corky & Lenny's.

"We don't have any positive assurance, but we're investigating the restaurant as one of the only common links between the 10 people who got sick," said John McLeod, the health board's director of environmental health.

The first case was reported Monday, and no cases have been reported since Wednesday, McLeod said. Two people were hospitalized and have since been discharged.

The likely culprit is the restaurant's matzo ball soup, which is made with eggs and chicken fat, although health officials are checking every item on the menu, as well as testing the restaurant staff, McLeod said.

I told you I was sick.

Definitely my favorite. Be warned that they close for 2 weeks immediately after the Feast of the Assumption in mid-August.

When I went to CWRU back in the early 90s we ate at Mama Santo's every weekend. I went back to visit for the first time in 12 years in 2004 and found it to be just as I remembered -- heaven. :)

Unfortunately, Presti's Doughnuts went upscale and became a deli/upscale bakery. I couldn't believe that I couldn't go there at 4 am and get fresh, hot donuts anymore. :( Ahhh, progress.

Little Italy is worth a trip. :)
