Northeast Ohioans have plenty of to choose from on this year's "Best Restaurants" list.

Northeast Ohio's reputation as a destination food region has been growing over the years.

Restaurants in Cleveland and the surrounding suburbs are featured on TV and in magazines, and the chefs behind those restaurants also have been gaining a reputation.

This week on "The Menu," our bi-weekly series that we bring you with the writers over at Cleveland Magazine, we dig into the cream of the crop, the best restaurants in the Cleveland area.

The list has everything from tacos, to steakhouses, pizza, Thai cuisine, and dishes that fit into a variety of budgets.

The selections also feature some of the finest dining in Downtown Cleveland, as well as the suburbs to the east, west, and south towards Akron.

Dillon Stewart and Jenny Hamel spoke about some of the spots that made the list.
