Best Organic Food Restaurants in Downtown Cleveland / Playhouse Square

This was my first experience at The South Side. I chose it because it was the only restaurant in the area that had reservations available at the time I needed them. It is now a place that I will choose in the future and recommend to friends. The hostess was welcoming, the service was great, the food was delicious. I loved the wide variety on the menu with some Cleveland favorites. Initially, we were worried about the noise level, but we were seated in a back room that was perfect for relaxed conversation.

We sat at the bar for our meal and had exceptional service and amazing food. We ordered the nightly specials, Scallop appetizer, Lobster with saffron risotto, and Ribeye with roasted potato & broccoli. We took desert home because we were too full but wanted to try some of their offerings. The place had a great vibe, and the staff were all friendly.

I enjoyed an exceptional dining experience at a recommended restaurant; Fahrenheit... The decor, cuisine, and service were outstanding—I truly struck gold tonight! Here’s how it went. Fahrenheit opens with a small loaf of focaccia that sets the bar high: served warm, accompanied by honey, truffle oil, and olive oil subtly spiced with chili pepper flakes. Each bite of this rich, aromatic bread hints at the culinary creativity to come. When I requested fresh-squeezed lemonade, they delivered with a perfectly tart and refreshing glass—a gesture that signals the level of hospitality here. The best places always accommodate, and Fahrenheit makes it effortless. Their take on Mexican street corn? A reimagined soup, velvety like a corn chowder but brimming with depth. Corn, sour cream, shaved parmesan, bacon, and a medley of onions, cilantro, jalapeño, and spices—all come together in a luscious blend that’s as visually appealing as it is bold in flavor. For the main course, I opted for the Vietnamese Pork Chop. The meat was tender and flavorful, and when paired with the lemongrass fried rice and sautéed mango, the plate became a playground of textures and flavors, striking that perfect balance between complementary and contrasting. Imagine the thrill of fireworks on your taste buds. Despite a satisfying meal, the dessert menu was too tempting to ignore. I decided to linger, making space for the Sizzling Blueberry Cobbler. Served warm with a cornmeal cake biscuit, sweet blueberry compote, vanilla bean gelato, and a bourbon-brown sugar Chantilly, this dish crowned the meal in indulgent style. Garnished with edible flowers, it was almost too beautiful to eat—almost.

Nice decor, good food, inviting atmosphere, good service.

We had a very nice business dinner. We had a wonderful server!
