Tuna tartare at Bodega. Best tuna tartare ever.
Moxie will debut an outdoor grilling menu on June 5. It will be available every Friday until the end of August, weather permitting. I know not everything mentioned in the announcement will be available the first week but I’m excited about whatever they will have. I know they’ll have the ribs and I know I’ll be back many more Fridays for whatever may not be there this week:
Monday, June 8 through Monday, August 31 – Moxie, the Restaurant
Grillin’ Out Friday Nights
The weather is right for grillin’ and Moxie begins the season on June 8th with Friday Night grilling specials. Available on the patio or in the restaurant for dinner only. Includes choice of Thai style beef tenderloin, spice chicken paillards, barbeque baby back ribs or smoked beef brisket, choice of sides and desserts. $30 per person.

Cleveland Botanical Garden - I don't know where the food will be served but I'm sure it will be pretty, too.
The Cleveland Botanical Gardens is continuing its popular Gourmet in the Garden. Every Wednesday, local chefs prepare food in one of Cleveland’s most serene venues. Stuartblog2 favorites fire food and drink, Boulevard Blue, Flying Fig and LUXE Kitchen and Lounge will be participating along with several other of Cleveland’s hottest chefs. Reservations are required. I recommend calling early.
Bodega is my newest favorite restaurant in Cleveland. The June installment of their monthly wine series will focus on summertime BBQ.

$25/$30
Haven’t had the Bodega tartare, or anything at Bodega, but feel the need to submit another local tuna tartare that maybe should be considered in the category of best ever, and it’s on the same street, even. Pacific East used to do a toro tartare w/ quail egg yolk and a dollop of caviar. Maybe they still do? It did not suck at all, save for the nearly extinct animal thing.
