My favorite times of the year are all of the various Restaurant weeks in Cleveland. it is a great way to get a very affordable meal at a high end restaurant- sort of a try before you buy method. Some restaurant weeks have converted me to a regular goer, some have led me to never go back.
On November 10, 2018 I took my husband out for the Marine Corp Birthday. this involved drinks at Society Lounge and dinner at Chinato.
Society Lounge has a very eclectic vibe. The booth are private, tables are open, room is overly decorated. It makes you feel like you are with the rich and famous. Even going down the stairs to the door makes it feel secluded. In the end all of this would mean nothing unless the drinks were worthwhile...and they are! We both had an absinthe inspired drink, although next time I am getting the smoked drink. They start you out with a champagne cocktail. I had the absinthe frappe, my hubby had a seasonal cocktail. We would definitely go back to try one of the other amazing creations. These bartenders are truly crafters. \
After dinner we went to Chinato for Restaurant week. The restaurant was packed. The choices were ok for restaurant week so we chose to order off the menu instead. This is just not one of our favorite of Zach Bruell's place. (It has since closed). We had the artichoke appetizer which was amazing. Great lemon flavor, sharp parmagiano cheese, cooked perfectly. Ronnie has a frutta di Mare that had a ton of fish in it. I chose the chicken with asparagus and capers. The sauce was amazing. The dishes were all well prepared.
We had a great night out and love our dinners with great food and drinks. Cleveland has so much to offer and a trip down East 4th illustrates the diversity of the food scene and the people.
