Dinner and Drinks
This place is run by Douglas Katz - the same chef at Zhug in Cleveland Heights. Like Zhug, Amba has a modern, minimalist vibe serving small, shareable plates inspired my Indian cuisine. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Cleveland
Amba - Cleveland Heights
I love Korean bbq and hotpot and this is the only place I have been to so far in the Cleveland area that has both. Like similar chains, it is all you can eat within an allotted time frame and you pay per person
KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot
This is an amazing restaurant with great Italian food, steaks, wine, and cocktails. I tried the beef ravioli and the branzino as my second course. Both were amazing (and yes, branzino, I’m brave)
Oliva Steakhouse Restaurant - Cleveland, OH
$12 pasta every Tuesday at this location!! You can’t beat that for a weeknight happy hour. They have a large wine and cocktail menu, I recommend trying the Spritz

My friend and I wanted to try oysters so we came here! We enjoyed them and we also tried some of their other menu items. The French 75 cocktail was ~chef’s kiss~ and I had the red beans and rice for my entree. I haven’t been to Louisiana so this was ...
The Bourbon Street Barrel Room
This place is run by Douglas Katz - the same chef at Amba in Ohio City. Like Amba, Zhug has a modern, minimalist vibe serving small, shareable plates inspired my Mediterranean cuisine. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Cleveland
Zhug - Cleveland Heights
I would recommend this restaurant more for the cocktails and desserts than the food. The vibe and ambience are incredible, love the low lighting and the character of the building that was once an old bank
Bartleby Cleveland
I went to this restaurant with my girl friends and we all loved it! The low-lit ambiance really sets the mood. We each picked an entree for the table and shared. The food was delicious and filling. Great wine and cocktail selection as well. If you're...

Who doesn’t love the zoo? I love animals so this is a super fun activity year round but especially in the summer time when all the animals are out in their habitats. There’s also activities to participate in throughout the zoo like a zipline! Admissi...
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo
The Cleveland museum of art is highly underrated but it’s one of the best art museums I’ve ever been to (aside from the Smithsonian in DC which is where I’m from). Admission is always free except for their special exhibits that rotate frequently! Rig...
The Cleveland Museum of Art
Most cities have at least one TopGolf and I’m glad Cleveland is one of them. This is a great spot for a night of competitive fun with family and friends rain or shine! The bays are heated in the winter. You will be served food and drinks to your tabl...
