Fire
The most exciting new restaurant in Cleveland is Fire, presumably named for the kitchen’s slick stainless steel, brick-lined oven and not the nearby Cuyahoga River’s former propensity to ignite. When discussing Cleveland fine dining with outsiders, the conversation’s recipient will usually reply, “Cleveland, oh.” The “oh” is not short for Ohio. It is merely a way of communicating disbelief.
Fire is an in cinerary bistro, opened last summer by chef Douglas Katz in historic Shaker Square and is convenient to commuter train service from downtown. Thirty-one-year-old Katz’s talents have glowed previously at Cleveland’s Moxie restaurant, Little Nell in Aspen, as well as for a time while fresh from the Culinary Institute, at the Boston Harbour Hotel.
