Marble Room Steaks and Raw Bar 623 Euclid Ave, Cleveland Steak House • $$$$
623 Euclid Ave, Cleveland

“I've never been to a restaurant or bar with more personality and quality as I have with Marble room. It gets everything right and then some. The ceviche and beef tartare were a peak experience. The creme Brule was a dream come true. The fillet mignon will leave you speechless.The Atmosphere is the perfect culmination of Cleavland's rich history and architecture and fine dining. The grand view of the entrance feels like a portal into a previous Era. The artwork mounted on the walls are phenomenally curated photography that plays well with the overall lighting design of the restaurant. Sculptures are present in the main hall that stray from simple decoration into a bustling art gallery. Fully functional bank vaults are also available for private events if the occasion should call for it. The music Playlist is well selected for creating a chill vibe reminiscent of Cowboy bebop. If you know, you know.The service was attentive and helpful. They all seemed very well trained & prepared and were delightful to engage with. I cannot recommend this place enough. I do not give out 5 stars lightly. I only give them out when an experience does something to recontextualize my dining experience. Thank you to the staff for making my trip to Cleavland unforgettable.~Mark-Saint John”

“Cloak and Dagger is an excellent cocktail bar offering a unique selection of drinks. I sampled 'Death by The King' and 'Her Highness', finding both to be quite potent and challenging to drink. 'Death by The King' particularly stood out, growing on me with each sip. The bar boasts a pleasant atmosphere and a convenient location. I would definitely recommend visiting.

My companion ordered the pork dish and was happy with the fact that the gorgonzola was not overpowering. Good replacement for Luca ( used to be my favorite) as I have not been happy with them lately.

Prices that are extremely reasonable for the high quality of food, generous portions, a focused menu that still has a good selection, and good drinks selection. The veal is prepared very well!Wheelchair accessibility: A single step is required to get in the entrance. A ramp will be provided if a wheelchair is present, but the ramp is extremely short and nowhere close to ADA standards; a manual chair can make it work with assistance, but I recommend not coming in a power chair at all.”

2516 Market Ave, Cleveland

“This review is for brunch specifically - the bloody marys are not very good, they were strangely a light pink color and tasted very watered down. The snacks on top were great though, although the pierogi on top was super cold & a little soggy from resting on top of the drink.We split a brunch sampler board, which is definitely big enough for 2 people. The eggs came out lukewarm, which I assume is just due to the timing of plating them/being picked up. Everything on the board was quite tasty.We sat in the room off to the side of the main restaurant (beer garden room, I think?) - it was very warm in there, but April is a fickle month, so I get why it's hard to manage the temperature! It's a beautiful room though and I'm glad we got to sit there.Also want to shout out the fact that the bathrooms contain free period products which should be the standard everywhere ?”

We also got the crab claws which I didn't think were anything special, but my significant other enjoyed them. For my main I got the filet au poivre. The filet was cooked perfectly and was so tender you barely had to chew it. However, whatever the sauce was underneath was extremely salty.

“I made reservations to celebrate my birthday here and the staff was very accommodating. I had to stay within a certain amount of people for my reservation and at the last minute I had to make an adjustment that put me outside of that limitation. The staff/management was very understanding and helpful, which was a huge relief for me. When we arrived everyone was very kind and patient as some of my guests were late. They were also very attentive to my dietary restrictions as a vegan. I ordered 3 dishes including the vegan entree. The vegan entree (miso eggplant) didn’t taste that good to me and I was reluctant to say anything, but I’m glad I did. Robin our server asked what I didn’t like about it and used the feedback to have them remake the dish with custom adjustments for taste. It was so much tastier when they brought it back out and I was extremely grateful for the overall care and consideration. She took pictures of our dinner party and they served me a vegan desert with a candle to celebrate my birthday. This was a great experience for me and my guests and I am glad I chose this restaurant to celebrate. The customer service from top to bottom was superb.”

1455 W 29th St, Cleveland

“I last came to Larder years ago back in 2018 or so and getting the Tuesday lunch special - $5 Chicken Sandwiches. I remember it being the best fried chicken sandwich I had ever had in my life - huge juicy thigh meat covered in a crunchy doubled fried exterior. Since then, Larder has been winning awards left and right. Since we were visiting Cleveland, I was so excited to visit Larder again and get their delicious sandwich. Unfortunately we came on a bad day - the previous night, a severe thunderstorm had knocked out the fryer and vents and Larder had to remove all of their fried items from the menu. They also were having oven troubles, so they ended up opening 30 minutes late. We got there over 30 minutes before they opened and a line of people started forming already. Pastrami Reuben ($18) - This is not your typical pastrami; this is thick, 1 cm cut savory salty pastrami, cut kind of like corned beef. The bark is still attached which is soft in some portions but crisp in others. ??? skome flavor??The meat is super tender and easy to eat. There's a thin layer of flavorful fat in some areas. There's cabbage slaw added on the bottom which adds a nice tang to balance out the fatty and meat of the pastrami. Thousand island spread on the top and bottom slices of bread adds additional moisture and sweetness. Everything is placed in the middle of two perfectly toasted slices of rye. Babka ($9) - Absolutely chock full of chocolate, the bread is pretty dense and rich. Pieces of crumbs easily flake off when you're eating this. There's some cinnamon mixed with the chocolate. If I'm ever back in town, I would get the chicken sandwich for the nostalgia.”

Chris answered every question I had about planning the evening for our 120 guests. The kitchen was prompt with hot buffet items. There was plenty of space to move around in the venue with our DJ and dance floor. The kids had room to bounce off the walls (along with some of my cousins). Above all the service of the wait staff was undisputedly accommodating.I hope I never get married here again; no party will ever be as sweet.”

“i love this restaurant and have been ordering food here/dining in for almost 3 years. however, the bbq oyster wings with ranch are hard to eat. They taste too chewy and the breading makes me want to gag. they taste better when i refry them on my own, so I would suggest that you guys fry them more. And make sure that the sauce doesn’t make them soggy somehow. Regardless, I am a huge fan of the banana pudding.”

“I haven't been to this place for many years. They remodeled very nicely outside and inside.We went for dinner... definitely make a reservation if you are coming after 4pm. We had to make a reservation and come back an hour later. The food portion has dropped like most restaurants. My kids first time had to order additional food as it was not enough. It was hard to get our server to order more. When we finally got someone, it took another 20 minutes to get our appetizers as we didn't want to turn the grill back on.Parking: It's a gated parking lot shared with a Korean grocery store”

It is.... rather expensive for their cider though.... It was tasty for sure. It's so expensive though you don't really have much of a choice but to slowly sip it otherwise you'll spend $90 in 10 minutes.I would have loved to stay longer than I did. But 3.5 (they have a half glass size) glasses between 3 people and a mild tip was 40$”

We split veal scallopini which came with a little ziti pasta in red sauce and Parmesan cheese. We had cannolis for dessert which were delicious. The waiter was incredible, actually one of the best I've had in awhile. The food was reasonably priced and we just really enjoyed the whole evening. Would go there again tonight if I could!”

Butcher and the Brewer 2043 E 4th St, Cleveland Brewpubs • $$
2043 E 4th St, Cleveland

“If I were to describe Butcher and the Brewer in one word, it would be: derelicte. Never before have I seen a space that so fully embraced the dumpster chic aesthetic... and located on swanky East 4th Street to boot! (That said, it did have a certain kind of charm.)As expected, all of the beers were delicious, with a wide variety to boot (including an abundance of seasonally-appropriate barrel-aged stouts, each one more boozy and addictive than the last). While the food was good, most dishes were missing that one element that could have elevated them to the next level. The kimchi arancini and onion dip were both flavorful but a little bit stodgy, the chutney for the broiled (not fried - I appreciated that!) brussels sprouts was lacking in depth, and the meatballs were fine but completely outshone by the pungent puttanesca sauce. The one exception was the pretzel - do yourself a favor and get the pretzel! It was outstanding; easily the best brewpub pretzel in the city! (To be fair, the more meat-centric menu options might have been better, but between the steep prices and average quality of what we already ordered, we opted to skip things like the steak or bone marrow.)As for the experience... call me old-fashioned, but I didn't appreciate the automated ordering system, whereby everything was ordered and paid for using a smart phone. While it may have been "efficient," I missed the human touch of interacting with our server throughout the meal. (Plus, I think people nowadays stare at their phones entirely too much in the first place!)”

It was tasty! We got the crispy broccoli and cauliflower and boy was that a treat! The veggies were super crispy and the drizzles on there are full of flavor in such a memorable way… yum!For brunch I had the fried green tomato sandwich with pork belly. Holy cow! This was a mind blowing meal.My brother got the burger. He spoke very highly of his plate as well. This is a new favorite in downtown Cleveland. In a couple months I have tickets for a concert at Nautica (Jacob’s pavilion whatever we call it these days) and this restaurant looks right out on the river at the value.

“One might described the venue as constricted as the dining spaces can be a bit tight. I found it cozy enough navigating the stairs to one of the dining areas on the upper level and sliding into a pew. Yes, a pew. Some of the booth seating has been repurposed from churches. Our server, Anna, who has been recognized from other reviews for her speedy service, was again on point with cheerful and expedient form. Our selections of chicken florentine and eggplant siciliano along with smooth Malbec and Moscato wines were tremendous. The accompanying pasta was perfectly al dente, which is often very hard to find in even the most traditional Italian eateries (mainly because it is precooked to mushiness). Great job and I recommend one gets there early because the place fills up and I can understand why. Would surely make a return trip.”
