THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Fire Food & Drink Restaurant Review:

A hip, urban feel and a menu of American fare distinguish chef-owner Douglas Katz's bistro in the historic Shaker Square shopping district. Inside the modern dining room, exposed ductwork, bare wood floors, stainless steel and wood seating, and white paper-covered tables set the scene for the minimalist menu design that follows suit. We suggest starting with the crispy chicken livers or the roasted banana peppers busting at the seams with house-made sausage and bathed in a rich tomato ragoût. Cooked in rustic brick or tandoori ovens, entrées include Hawaiian moonfish, braised Jamison lamb shank, and a tandoor rib-eye served with wild hedgehog mushrooms, spinach and fingerling Lyonnaise. For dessert, don’t miss the popcorn ice cream sundae topped with sticky caramel sauce and candied pecans. The wine list is well-crafted, with vinos hailing from all over the globe, while the cocktail menu is equally interesting and carefully composed, with a dedicated dessert section featuring a handful of ports and sweet ice wines. Brunch is one of Cleveland’s best --- try the lemon soufflé pancakes.
