I eat out often, it is one of my favorite things to do. Kick back with a few friends and enjoy a good meal. Whether it is a craving for a great cheeseburger or sitting down to a gourmet meal, here are a few of my favorite dining destinations:

For pizza you can't beat this quaint little restaurant called the Reservoir Tavern. The tavern has the best brick oven pizza I have ever tasted. Their menu boasts comforting Italian food. A few of the most popular dishes include the stuffed eggplant which is stuffed with zucchini, mushrooms, and roasted red peppers. It is lightly fried then covered in a homemade marinara sauce and fresh mozzarella cheese. Their sausage and peppers are also a true favorite, their sausages are made fresh everyday and come in either a sweet or spicy variety. Reservoir Tavern is known for their pizza. Whether you want thin crust or hand tossed it is guaranteed to be one of the best slices you have ever eaten. They have a numerous variety of toppings and will create whatever you desire. One of the favorites is broccoli raab with roasted red peppers. It is truly delicious.

If it is a cheeseburger you are craving Cleveland's Tap room is the best place in town. They serve simple standard bar food, but their cheeseburgers are so thick and juicy you would think you were in heaven.

For finer dining there are two options. Eccola Italian Restaurant is a quaint restaurant with gourmet dishes. They have a wide variety of fresh fish dishes as well as standard homemade italian dishes. Their mussels appetizer is a house specialty as well as their chicken picatta. All the pasta is made fresh and is so light and tender it melts in your mouth. If it is steak you are craving nothing can beat Don Pepe Steak House. It will satisfy any meat lover. The filet mignon is so tender you don't even need a knife. The home made mushroom and burgundy sauce is an amazing accompaniment to any piece of meat you choose. Their specialty side dish is fresh cut potato wafers, they are so light and crispy you won't feel guilty for eating plates and plates of them. Save room for dessert though. This steak house has a caramel apple creme brulee that is so silky and smooth you may just want to start licking the bowl when its done.

These are a few of my favorite dining destinations. When a craving hits I know exactly where to go. Try these places out and I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
