It's what you get when you are committed to your community, your friends and your family.  After almost 20 years of working in fine dining establishments, Northeast Ohio native, and classically trained Chef James Balchak has moved back home for a new venture: Aurelia, an American-style bistro in Chagrin Falls, Ohio.

“Local fresh” is the theme of Aurelia, the JB Restaurant Group’s first restaurant.  As Chef James Balchak defines it, “I believe in Northeast Ohio; the food will be sourced from local farms, fisheries and suppliers.  All food products will be fresh and seasonal and the menu will change based on what is available during the season or on that day.”  The New American-style bistro will offer a wide variety of high-quality food in an upscale, yet casual environment at reasonable prices.  

Aurelia, honest food & drink, is an American-style bistro, in Chagrin Falls.  Honest is local. Honest is fresh. Honest is reasonable.
