17 River Grille
Why we love it: This tranquil indoor-outdoor bar and restaurant offers an elevated dining experience with front-row views of the town’s iconic waterfall. The patio, split between a cozy wraparound terrace and a scenic lower deck, is perfect for sipping craft cocktails with fireplace features, twinkling lights and the soothing sound of rushing water. Try this: The Idaho Rainbow Trout ($27) is a standout entree that is both comforting and elegant, featuring a beurre blanc topped with lobster meat, whipped potatoes and broccoli with mascarpone butter. 17 River St., Chagrin Falls, 440-893-0797, 17rivergrille.com
