Doc's on Harvard, an upscale restaurant which opened last spring, offers some of the only sit-down dining available in Cleveland's Lee-Harvard neighborhood.

🦷 The former dental office transformed into the eatery with the help of citywide initiatives to invest in the Southeast Side of Cleveland, including Mayor Justin Bibb’s Southeast Side Promise and the city’s Middle Neighborhoods Initiative.
 
“We know that one restaurant, one art gallery, one amazing small business, could change the trajectory of a community,” Bibb says. “Think about what chef Michael Symon did for Tremont, and his first restaurant was an anchor that really helped propel Tremont revitalization. The same can be true for the Southeast Side.”

🍽️ Behind the entire concept was one family's dream, which pushed the business across the finish line despite numerous challenges.
 
“We are putting in all of our efforts and our passion and our hearts to bring something beautiful to the neighborhood, because Lee-Harvard really will not look like this in two to three years,” chef Kolnita Riggins-Walker says. “I think we’re on the precipice of something great.”
