American
Doug Katz, a James Beard Outstanding Restaurateur semifinalist, built his name on Indian-fusion and Mediterranean small plates before going unabashedly American with this polished full-service restaurant in Shaker Heights' Van Aken District. The menu spans two dozen shareable dishes, ranging from small bites to proper plates, with a wine list that takes its job seriously and service that matches. Fans of Katz's long-gone bistro Fire will catch the occasional echo.

Arctic char
