"Open for: Lunch, dinner, weekend brunchPrice range: $$$With Westsiders — located, where else, but on Cleveland’s westside — owners Constantine Katsaros and Jack Messer aimed to create something of a unicorn in the restaurant world: a suburban bistro that is drop-dead gorgeous, well-run, and priced for weekly regulars. Affordable cocktails lay the groundwork for seasonal small plates starring honey-drizzled ricotta, braised pork belly served with crispy-creamy polenta fries, and roasted beets. Larger plates feature burgers, house-made tagliatelle Bolognese, seasonal fish and seafood, and smartly composed — and priced — meaty mains like tequila-glazed bone-in pork chops with corn succotash. Vibe check: Looking for a great brunch option for small groups? This is your spot." - Douglas Trattner
