17 River Grille
Why we love it: Overlooking the waterfalls in the heart of Chagrin Falls, this modern American dining room pairs its stunning views with an inviting, stylish interior. Leather banquettes, soft lighting and wood-topped tables create a gentle glow against floor-to-ceiling windows, while the menu leans into house-made comfort alongside an inventive cocktail and wine list. Try this: The lemon Parmesan chicken ($24) delivers pan-seared crispiness with a rich beurre blanc and a fresh arugula salad dressed in lemon vinaigrette. 17 River St., Chagrin Falls, 440-893-0797, 17rivergrille.com
