Cleveland lost a lot of restaurants throughout the last decade. Average restaurants, crappy restaurants, solid restaurants and great restaurants alike. Institution like Sterle's. Restaurants from great chefs like Doug Katz, Michael Symon, Jonathan Sawyer and Zack Bruell. Restaurants from first timers taking a risk that should be commended. And everything in between. RIP to all of these places, going from 2010 to 2019.

12706 Larchmere Blvd., ClevelandUnfortunately for eastsiders, the sister restaurant to Tremont’s beloved Lucky’s Cafe just never caught on like it should have. Located in the Larchmere neighborhood on the border of Cleveland and Shaker Heights, Heather Haviland’s diner was popular for weekend brunch but never caught on as much as it needed to during the weekdays and closed in 2011.
