Light Bistro, Cleveland

Light Bistro in Ohio City offers tapas-style fine dining. There are several entrées, although they're intended to be shared amongst the diners. The menu offers “traditional” tapas, such as Potato, Onion, and Carrot Croquettes or Bacon-Wrapped Dates stuffed with almonds and cheese. There are also “Progressive American Tapas,” such as a Potato and Saffron Omelette with Barbecued Salmon, or the Calamari Po'Boy with red pepper aioli and caramelized onions. There are also flatbreads and pork and shrimp skewers. The larger dinner entrées feature the sumptuous Sweet Potato Ravioli with Rustic Ratatouille or even Grilled Ostrich with risotto. Light Bistro also has several tapas-and-wine-tasting events available on their website. - Marjorie Jensen
