2801 Bridge Avenue
Ohio City
216.771.7130

Light Bistro in Ohio City is my pick of the month. It boasts great tapas, but unlike many tapas bars, who have a menu consisting of ONLY tapas, Light Bistro has delectables ranging from sandwiches, pizzas and burgers to delicacies such as ostrich and pheasant. Prices are pretty reasonable, perhaps on the higher end if you're a broke college student like me, but the food is amazing and worth dishing out the cash! It is definitely one of Cleveland's crown jewels! If you are looking for something light, might I suggest the tradition tapas- Bacon wrapped Dates stuffed with Almonds and Valdeon Cheese or perhaps the Apple and Brie panini (which is part of their lunch menu, but you can get it at dinner as well), something heavier? Try the Slow Roasted Bison panini with Jalapenos, Fresh Mustard and Braised Red Cabbage or the Albondigas Pizza with Lamb Meatballs, Tomato Sauce and Mozzarella & Provolone. If you are wanting to go all out- don't hold back, try the Caramelized Scallops with Fennel, Red Onion, Orange Salad and Tarragon Sauce, West Coast Halibut with Basil Gremolata, Ratatouille Vegetables or the Grilled Ostrich in an Asian Glaze with Spinach and Pine Nuts & Raisins.

They also make one hell of a dirty martini and have delicious hand-stuffed blue cheese olives :) YUM!
