Best Restaurants 2013: Open Kitchens

Accent

Scott Kim's Asian-influenced menu is full of flavor thanks to two rare pieces of equipment — the high-heat Robata grill and Josper oven (see review on pg. 70). 11460 Uptown Ave., Cleveland, 216-721-8477, accentcleveland.com

The Oak Barrel

It's a new venue for the former chef of Deagan's Kitchen & Bar, but Demetrios Atheneos is keeping with the popular gastropub feel — this time with a strong French influence. 5975 Canal Road, Valley View, 216-520-3640, theoakbarrel.com

Press Wine Bar

While this Tremont spot is the city's first restaurant to serve wine on tap, chef Rachael Spieth's seasonal menu of small plates and flatbreads is the real reason to sip and savor. 2221 Professor Ave., Cleveland, 216-556-9463, presswinebar.com

Provenance

Housed inside the Cleveland Museum of Art, Doug Katz's spot brings globally inspired fare to those hungry for both art and great food. Try the prix fixe menus that complement special exhibitions. 11150 East Blvd., Cleveland, 216-707-2600, provenancecleveland.com
