What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
An episode on indulgent regional favorites featured The Greenhouse Tavern, a farm-to-table New American restaurant chef Jonathon Sawyer opened in downtown Cleveland's East Fourth Street district, where it operated for 11 years and earned national recognition for its service. According to Cleveland Jewish News (2020-03-02), the restaurant closed on February 8, 2020, after a notice to patrons explained that menu items and products could no longer be replenished; the outlet reported the closure came within roughly a year of two other Sawyer-owned restaurants, Trentina and Noodlecat, also ending operations. A Yelp listing for 2038 East 4th Street, updated July 2026, continues to mark the location CLOSED. No successor restaurant was reported operating under the Greenhouse Tavern name at the East Fourth Street address in the most recent available listing.
