Zack Bruell restaurants – Parallax, L’Albatros, Chinato and Table 45, are partnering with the Cleveland Museum of Art for its summer solstice party on June 19th.
But why wait till then to celebrate the longest day of the year (and the museum’s newest galleries)? From now until Saturday, Bruell is offering a 3-course, summer solstice [...]

q&a with libby palmieri

May 26, 2010 – 10:15 am

Why is it that when you entertain, people always congregate in the kitchen? When we built our home, we purposefully went with a very open floor space so that when we do entertain, people could spread out. We even added a built-in bench in the kitchen for people to sit. Doesn’t matter. Regardless of how [...]

three nights on east 4th, mother’s day and eddie vedder

May 12, 2010 – 8:49 pm

Night 1 This past Saturday, my family got together to celebrate Mother’s Day – 15 of us – at The Greenhouse Tavern. We sat downstairs, which my mom said made her feel like she was someplace in New York, in the middle of the hustle and bustle, peering into the open kitchen. While I didn’t [...]

review: wine & cheese tasting at l’albatros

May 10, 2010 – 7:41 pm

I can’t think of a combination I like better than wine and cheese. Who doesn’t? Add some fresh bread, and I am one happy, happy girl.
For as much as I enjoy cheese, whether at home or dining out (I prefer cheese at the end of my meal versus something sweet), I’ve never participated in a structured cheese [...]

With the opening of Chinato, I’ve now completed my Tour de Bruell (if only repeat visits to Parallax, L’Albatros and Chinato was a sport…).  And while I haven’t tried these dishes yet, based on my numerous chef Bruell experiences, I’m eager to light up the stove.

chinato review (and a chance to be VIP)

January 28, 2010 – 10:41 am

He’s done it again. Zack Bruell has opened his fourth Cleveland restaurant with the opening of Chinato on East 4th.  We’re already big Parallax and L’Albatros fans (good food at Table 45, but not really my kinda scene), so I had high expectations for his take on Italian. He did not disappoint.
We went a few [...]

first look at chinato

December 6, 2009 – 7:40 pm

“I’m not going to lie, I’m out of my comfort zone,” explains Zack Bruell, standing amid construction workers and drywall as a crew works to pull together his latest restaurant at the corner of E 4th and Prospect.
