Slowly but surely Cleveland is starting to return to the glory days when downtown was bustling and was the place to be.

Barbara De Lollis of USA TODAY reports that when the Aloft hotel opens in 2013 in Cleveland’s waterfront Flats East Bank, five locally and nationally known restaurants will also be a part of the project.

“The Aloft at Flats East will get a location of Lago from chef and restaurateur Fabio Salerno, who hopes to get quite a bit of catering business from local offices and the hotel,” the article says. “He operates other restaurants in the area, including Little Italy in the historic Tremont district.”

“I Love This Bar & Grill will be a destination for BBQ combined with live country music, customers also will be able to buy memorabilia related to country music singer-songwriter Toby Keith.”

“Ken Stewart's will be a steak and seafood restaurant by [the] Akron-area restaurateur.”

“Dos Tequilas will be a gourmet taco restaurant, and Flip Side will be a burger joint.”

The restaurants will be located along W. 10th Street.
