Our favorite new American restaurants all have one thing in common, said Andrew Knowlton in BonAppetit.com. They create “simple, satisfying local food—all served with zero pretense.” These three especially caught our fancy.
The Greenhouse Tavern, Cleveland
This downtown gastropub is at “the forefront of the green-restaurant movement”—the rooftop dining area is also a greenhouse. Chef Jonathon Sawyer primarily uses Ohio-sourced ingredients in his “modern, snack-heavy menu.” Standouts include goat cheese tarts with tomato salad; hand-ground beef tartare with a cold poached egg; and crispy chicken wings with jalapeño, scallions, and garlic. 2038 E. Fourth St., (216) 443-0511
