The Greenhouse Tavern

A rustbelt revolution has come to Cleveland in the form of food.
Chef Jonathon Sawyer brings love and happiness to each plate that is put out of the tavern's kitchen. Using local produce, protein, and grain Chef Sawyer supports our revitalizing economy in Cleveland, Ohio.

Always working hard to be at the forefront of the rustbelt revolution the team at The Greenhouse Tavern is constantly looking for ways to innovate in the city, the kitchen, and on the menu.

People from around the country always ask us why we moved home to Cleveland to open a restaurant. As much as we loved living in New York City, we always felt a pull from back home. After going back and forth from NYC to CLE, we decided to make it permanent.

For us Cleveland is at the beginning of it's glory and we love a good Renaissance.
From the 101 year old, West Side Market to the East 4th dining district we are in love with our city.
We opened the Tavern in 2009 at a time when everyone thought we were nuts. Cleveland was getting killed by the economy and our friends in the bigger cities thought we were secretly drunk.

We knew something they didn't. We knew that the spirit of Cleveland was back and bigger than ever. We took the risk on Cleveland.

And we're glad we did.

Cleveland is and always will be our home and our inspiration at The Greenhouse Tavern. You can see during our family meals every Saturday when Ma Sawyer cooks for the entire staff. You can see it in our food and on our menus.
