After a false start in Chagrin Falls, Michael Grieve has found a home for his long-planned seafood restaurant, Rockfish. The chef, formerly of Tartine Bistro in Rocky River and The Grocery café and market in Ohio City, will take over the property long home to James Place in Aurora. The popular wine bar and bistro, which opened in 2007, closed last month.
Since imagining and planning Rockfish, the chef says that he has altered his food program to be more inclusive of those who might shy away from fish. Now called Rockfish Land and Seafood, the menu is more diverse thanks to options for meat-eaters, seafood lovers, vegans and the gluten intolerant.
