Birdietown, a mini golf-themed venue, to open in Lakewood in the fall.

There’s a whole lot to catch up on, so let’s get started.

– Birdietown, a new mini golf lounge and restaurant, is poised to open in Lakewood. Along with 18 holes of indoor, adults-only putt-putt, look forward to a menu designed by Chef Jill Vedaa.

– Staying in Lakewood, there’s been a change of ownership at Rood Food and it’s a positive one.

– Industry folks and dedicated home chefs know and love Service Wet Grinding, which has been keeping local knives sharp for more than a century. After selling off the business, the landmark Cleveland institution is no more and home chefs will have to find a new solution to keep their sticks sharp.
– Sweet Pork Wilson’s, right on the Lakewood and Cleveland border, has carved itself a slice of the local BBQ scene.

– Ohio City Pizzeria will call it a day after tomorrow.
– Charter House Grille on East 185th, located in the former Bistro 185 spot, is now open.

– Now that we’re nearing the end of the summer, we took stock of the restaurants that we’ve lost so far this year.

Toast 1365 West 65th., Cleveland Toast in Gordon Square called it a day on April 3 after 11 years in the neighborhood. Owner Jillian Davis told Scene: "It's not bittersweet — it's bitter mostly. Operating a full-service restaurant is not as fun as it used to be." The neighborhood wine bar and restaurant was beloved for its down-to-earth vibe, personal service, unique wines and seasonal small plates and entrees. Davis mentioned staffing challenges and changing dining habits as some of the reasons behind her decision to close.
