Chicken shawarma, corn, tomato and basil salad. The chicken is from Arkansas, the corn from Michigan, the mozarella from Wisconsin,the tomatoes from South Carolina, the basil, pita, lettuce, onions, and peppers are from Ohio.
I spent ten years in the food business--working here in Cleveland* and in upstate New York. I know food. So, I can tell you that one of the best unsung fine dining deals in Cleveland is the Wednesday night steak dinner in the lounge at Don's Lighthouse. Paired with great company and a great wine and you have heaven.
Just a tip for those of you looking for REALNEO satisfaction.
(*including a stint for Strang Corp. in Rocky River :)
Since you make the foodie circuit here in town, bj--please pass along the info. If you like an occasional steak, this is the best in town--and you can't beat the price. You can relax here. There is a comfortable familiarity and an experience that makes you want to come back, again and again. The wait and bar staff are especially cool, understated, professional--just as I tried to be, when I worked for the company :)
I would like to see a bicycle rack nearby, or even...yes...some patio seating at Don's, but, overall, I am just glad that it survives as a reminder of our local history.
