Its edgy new American cuisine draws some skeptics, but everyone loves the look and feel of Crop Bistro and Bar, a 1920s-bank-turned-restaurant. A sleek open kitchen and chef’s counter erase the stodgy-old-bank-lobby feeling. The creative, flavorful menu includes a tangy balsamic popcorn appetizer that makes salad seem silly and popcorn feel elegant, and a subtle smokiness flavors the mac and cheese. Some concoctions try too hard, but simpler entrees, like the Ohio ribeye, taste absolutely perfect. That you can take to the bank. (216) 696-2767; cropbistro.com
