Where is the Best Salad in Cleveland, Ohio?
This is a welcome new addition to the ever growing number of fine restaurants on this stretch of Lee Road in Cleveland Heights. There’s a nice little outdoor patio we would have sat in instead of eating inside on a nice summer Saturday night, but there was a wait for those tables. They don’t take reservations, so prepare to wait on busy nights. Their salads are very good, especially the one with the tastiest fresh mozzarella I’ve ever had.

We ordered the fried calamr
