The Greenhouse Tavern's wings are dressed with lime, scallion, charred jalapeño, wheat beer vinegar, and raw garlic. Read more

Great local beer selection. I'd definitely recommend the tasting menu - be warned, every course comes as a full portion. Pay the supplement and share the pigs head, it's out of this world.

The best caesar salad downtown got even better... it's now chopped, which makes it much easier to eat. Still makes an awesome lunch when paired with the confit chicken wings.

Looking for some amazing vegan options while in downtown Cleveland, you have to try the Vegan Cassoulet (Tofu, hominy, white beans, etc). Served with toasted bread. You're going to want seconds!

Don't let the size of the wings fool you... They pack a huge punch of flavor. The Gravy Frites are amazing. The pair certainly makes for a lunch I won't soon forget.

Foie Gras-Steamed Clams: "deceptively simple dish has earned accolades due to richness of flavor, supplied by foie gras blended into buttery clam broth (dip grilled bread into the umami-rich sauce)"

This fall not a ton of great vegan options. Definitely grab the Carrot-Tots! Vegan burger is the same from spring, just double the size. Flavor is good but consistency is mushy. Eat it w/out the bun.

For $10 you can opt to buy a round of beers for the kitchen staff. It's on the menu at the bottom. I won't tell you the best part, but take my word for it, you need to do this. Awesome fun!

outstanding. get the Lamb burger if it will be your first and only time. there is no reason to look at the remainder of the less than lamb menu offerings!

Great food and great bourbon selection. Ask about the wings confit. Laid back atmosphere. Ask the bartender to pop in dumb n dumber or an old wrestle mania tape and relax.

An environmentally-minded gastropub, Greenhouse Tavern was named one of Bon Appetit magazine’s Top 10 Best New Restaurants in the U.S. when it opened in 2009. Go for the burgers. Read more

This place is amazing. Portion sizes are great. If its only two of you I recommend doing one 4 course deal and adding an extra entree. This way you can share the appetizers and desert!

If you want to dare your eating habits, try this place. Sawyer is amazing...how he puts pig brain on a plate and makes it tastes great is boyond me! Try his pickles; they are awesome!!! Noodlecat

Everything we had was very tasty. The walleye was amazing and so were the pom frites!! Plates were sent back clean.

It's definitely worth exploring the menu as much as possible at chef Jonathan Sawyer's downtown restaurant, but passing over the burgers would be a huge mistake.

The confit chicken wings and the grilled caesar salad make an awesome paleo-friendly lunch.
Brian StraussDecember 15, 2014
Great food; sorta French. Very American. Creative, locally focused, tons of vegetarian options, in addition to porky indulgence.

One of CTOWN'S BEST RESTAURANTS. Chef Sawyer is a food genius. Rooftop bar & cocktails are the place to be in the summer!! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Acadia RoessnerMarch 31, 2014
Try the Brussel sprouts and the salmon crudo. All the food is fresh and delicious and the service is attentive but not fussy.
Neal U.September 3, 2013
The bread and butter plate. Get it. Has four kinds of bread, whipped lard, honey butter, radish spread and many other delicious things.
Michael TchouNovember 28, 2014
Can't go wrong with the food here. From finer food to burgers, it is all amazing. Go Cleveland!
William JohnsonOctober 17, 2014
The lamb burger comes medium rare but is so good. Juicy, almost greasy, a bit messy, but worth it!

Great for lunch, dinner, any meal really. Always try the fifth quarter, and order the brussels sprouts.

Chef Michael Symon singled out The Greenhouse Tavern’s Gravy Frites as his favorite fried treat on the Food Network show “The Best Thing I Ever Ate.”
Rachel VanArsdaleJune 16, 2012
Everything is good you can't go wrong! Get the bread tasting board as an appetizer if you love carbs as much as I do.
Bordeaux WinesFebruary 26, 2013
Savor a glass of Bordeaux in an eco-friendly environment (bicycles wall decor). Try the chef's tasting menu or if you're feeling inspired, sit at the chef's table!

Order the fancy poutine to start, and the ungodly good Fred flintstone short rib to share.
Ashley DeNunzioJune 29, 2013
Excellent atmosphere, music, and most importantly food. The chefs sample is great and well worth it!

Their fried chicken is ridiculous. Some of the best I've had. Nice balance of crispy, moist and heat
Andy JonesJune 3, 2012
The Pork Chop Saltimbucco is faaantastic! For dessert, don't miss the Buttered Popcorn Pot de Créme; it is divine.
Larisa GrollemondDecember 26, 2015
The foie gras clams are weird but great, and also give the Delmonico steak a try!
Jessy KingDecember 23, 2015
the best chicken wings in cleveland hands down. russell is an amazing server.
Cole KennedyJune 30, 2013
Forget the food and the drink, the soundtrack is awesome! (But actually eat and drink, because that's awesome too.)

Food Network's Top 5 Bar Foods - #1 Animal Style Frites
Matt DohertyMay 30, 2010
Make sure you get the bacon wrapped dates with chocolate, red pepper and almonds, the animal style pommes frites, a great beer and any entree.. Soooo good. Rock on Cleveland
Deborah Au-YeungAugust 12, 2014
Lamb burger with shallots, stinky cheese, ask for house ketchup and ghost sauce.
Rick Von FeldtNovember 9, 2011
Try the Gravy Frites - Some serious heart attack food. Fries. Flavorful gravy. Cheese curds. This is the dish @chefsymon described. Whoa.
Nathaniel WhitneyJune 9, 2012
By far one of the best places ive ever eaten. Try the wings cuz they are outta this world!
Michael PhaneufAugust 12, 2016
One of the best dinners out I have had in a while
Charles BJune 19, 2012
The cioppino was one of the best things I have ever eaten. And I have eaten a lot of things!!
Ricky SherrillMarch 8, 2015
Very good burgers and bar food. Do not skip the frites & gravy.
Andrew NuscaDecember 22, 2015
Get the buttered popcorn pot de creme. Everything else is a distraction.
Anna BridgetOctober 6, 2012
Stone Fruit Negroski is a must have! Especially if you love Negronis!

Sitting downstairs at the chef's table is an awesome experience. Try the four course tasting menu. And make sure you get the wings!
Cleveland MagazineMarch 15, 2012
Thought this place wasn't for kids? Think again. Chef Jonathon Sawyer will make almost any dish on his menu in a kid-sized portion for $10.
Angie TrigilioJuly 8, 2013
Loved the bread board and massive meatball. Rooftop bar isn't too bad either.

Whenever they have soup on the menu, order it. Always excellent.
Adrian BanicaDecember 18, 2012
As weird as it sounds, the pigs head is unbelievable... Try the meat behind the eye, delicious
K VDecember 15, 2013
Bar menu is extensive but sucks, bar staff less than helpful or attentive, have not eaten yet, if we didn't have a reso on a busy Sat night I would have left already!
