Nemo Grille Avon, OH (part of Cleveland Guide)

The Nemo Grille operates out of a remolded 1850's-era house in Avon, Ohio, just outside Cleveland. The beautiful brick exterior leads to an equally attractive, intimate dining space. As one would expect from a restaurant with the same name as the captain from 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, the menu leans towards seafood, such as Seared Diver Scallops as well as Grilled Salmon. There's a variety of non-seafood entrées, like a classy Smoked Mac & Cheese which includes asparagus, chicken, and bacon. Vegetarians may find slim pickings apart from the salads and sides. Nemo Grille also offers a full bar with signature martinis and a huge wine list. - Marjorie Jensen
