Old favorite: Fat Cats

A 14-year track record of creative  American-eclectic food and impeccable service makes Tremont’s colorful Fat Cats a Cleveland classic. Chicken and Olives, a rich, salty concoction served with smashed potatoes, tastes so good you’ll wish you were in the privacy of your kitchen rather than in a restaurant where basic decorum requires forks, napkins and breathing between bites. Some ingredients come from an adjacent kitchen garden; others travel only a few miles farther. Fat Cats’ under-$20 entrees are a bargain compared to similar spots—and you get a downtown view for free. (216) 579-0200; coolplacestoeat.com/fatcats.html
