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
