This stylish and progressive American tapas bar features an extensive menu. Light Bistro balances both small plate options alongside more hearty main dishes, and with chef Matthew Mathlage behind the line, regional and seasonal concepts are the focus. Start with the roasted red beets served with a fragrant citrus and sherry wine sauce. As your second course, the pizzas would serve you well should you feel generous enough to share with your fellow diners (in which case, try the potato pie pizza). Don’t miss the braised pork belly, "faux gras" pâté or the Ohio cheese plate, either. The nightly chef’s tasting menu highlights the choicest ingredients of the day, making it an ideal way to experience Light’s kitchen prowess. The wine menu is well crafted with a solid list of by-the-glass options. A lunch menu offers more casual fare.
