We went to Ken Stewart's East Bank for Downtown Cleveland restaurant week since my dad was in town visiting. We both ordered off the Restaurant Week menu. I started off with the calamari appetizer, which was a very generous portion. The server brought some flavored vinegar to dip the calamari in which complimented the appetizer really well. The calamari was light, crispy and delicious. My dad got the porcini mushroom soup which he really enjoyed. We both got the Wagyu and Wild Boar Meatloaf served with sweet potato risotto and a touch of BBQ sauce. The risotto was delicious with a twist since it had the sweet potato mixed in. The meatloaf was a bit spicy and could have used perhaps a little more BBQ sauce but was otherwise very tasty with a nice savory flavor. For dessert we both got the Peanut Butter Bomb. It was like a warm, soft peanut butter cookie baked in a little round cake pan with vanilla ice cream.
The ambiance and the restaurant environment is wonderful. It would be a perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. They really did a great job with the décor, including the warm, cozy fireplace.
