Prohibition at the Caverns

Was my second time there everything was amazing, our server was perfect, I did do the four course this time. I do recommend if you’re going to the eight course.

Absolutely best fine dining establishment in the area. If you love wine-pairing and a chef's tasting menu in a unique ambiance, this is the place for you. 10 out of 10!!¡

Wonderful treat for an experience meal! The vibe is very speak-easy with an upscale twist.
Enjoy the elevator ride to your destination below main level. Step out and you are in the “cavern” . Take a tour and check out the house made wine cellar. Once seated, our servers, Jamie, Missy & Isaac, were very knowledgeable and consistently catered to our every ask.
We went for the Friday evening 4 course Culinary experience with in house wine pairings. Every detail is attended to including personalized seasonal menus. Choose one selection from each of the thoughtfully designed & prepared courses.

We ordered:
First
Beef Tartare – nicely chilled and tender.
Lobster Roll – chunky and creamy.
Second
Lobster Bisque
Tangelo Salad – citrusy balanced by balsamic dressing
Third
Filet Mignon – rare and juicy
Scallop – tender and nicely crisp on top
Fourth
Lemon Blueberry Buckle
Peanut Butter Chocolate Mousse
Finished with turkish coffee.

The food was delicious and while not “platefuls”, we left Prohibition completely satiated.

The wine pairings were on point but would like to have been able to swap out the wines during that course.

The caverns can be damp and cool so a sweater may be in order. Keep in mind that the stone walls reverberate so can be a little louder when the room is full.
Bathrooms are on the main level.

We will be back again to try another of the delicious seasonal menus!

We were so looking forward to this dinner as we were celebrating Valentine's Day a week early. Sadly the quality of our food did not meet our expectations. our second course was lobster bisque soup that was very salty and difficult to eat, also had no real substance he seemed as though someone added water to obtain more volume. My wife, carrots with feta cheese were difficult to cut with a steak knife although it did have a nice flavor.
The main course of scallops and risotto was equally disappointing. The scallops were undercooked really nothing special about them. The risotto was gooey and hard to understand what the chef was trying to accomplish with the combination of flavors.
The desserts did not seem like they were homemade, they were partially frozen as though someone opened a box and set them on a plate, also, just simply lack flavor.
Also, I found it strange that the wine glasses were not changed after each pairing.
Although the atmosphere was certainly very interesting and intriguing The price point of the dinner as well as the quality of food was very disappointing.

First of all, really cool venue, with a really cool ambiance. 1920s feel. The service was excellent. The food was very good.I would plot this against many places in downtown Cleveland. Between my wife and I, there were no courses that we did not both enjoy. As their website states, it is a little chilly down there. As my wife states, girls skip the skirts. It's also a little noisy and easy to hear conversations at adjacent tables. But look at the pictures, it's a rock cave underground people. Time for the bad news, skip the wine pairing. Although the grapes are not from ohio, which is a good thing, they are young tasting, which is to say acidic, astringent, and inappropriately fruity with little to no body. Sorry. Also, the price is approximately thirty percent higher than I would expect to pay at a similar food quality experience in columbus or cleveland. Maybe you are paying for the venue, and maybe you should take that into consideration? your perogative.
All this said, I would still say that this place is entirely worth going to and entirely worth a two hour trip if you combine it with a visit to the historic prison nearby.

Just bc of the shear price of a single person it's listed at over 100

We made reservations for after our wedding. This place didn’t disappoint. First off, the personal menu with our names on them was great. The food was amazing, the duck was killer. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. We will be coming back for future anniversaries.

We had an amazing dinner here after our wedding. What a great experience. The food was amazing, the staff were very knowledgeable, and the ambiance was one of a kind.

We celebrated our 15 year anniversary by having a dining experience with Prohibition at the Caverns- it did not disappoint! The atmosphere, the attention to details, the staff, THE FOOD AND DRINK- the entire evening was one of the most memorable experiences we have ever had! The history of the place is interesting as well!

The paired food & wine were fantastic. The service was excellent. The thoughtful ambiance (with soft, 1920's music) was wonderful. Although I came famished and prepared, I was still stuffed. I'd have been glad to have one less course. Thank you!

This was such an amazing experience. It was an awesome way to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. Im so glad I found this place on Google. Not only is it a restaurant but a cave and my husband and I love caves. We have been to a lot of them. The host/servers were great. The ambiance was lovely and very romantic. The food was weird but good, and that is coming from a picky eater. This was beyond a 5 star rating. We enjoyed every part of it. We even had the opportunity to meet the owners which was nice as well. Can't wait to come back!

I brought my fiancé here for his birthday and I couldn’t have made a better choice. The staff was incredibly kind and made each and every guest feel special. Immaculate service.The food was more than just food it was all very creative, delicious and told a story. The ambience was very romantic. WE WILL BE BACK 10/10.

Absolutely fantastic establishment. Top notch service, food, and atmosphere. Ignore any review that says otherwise. Their negative experience is internal projection upon the external world in which they exist.

100% recommend this experience for those looking to fill their cup of life.

Everything was very good. Food is elevated and different but creatively put together. The environment is super cool. It's a little and damp as would be expected in a cave. It's very romantic. It's so much food that we were busting when we left. I would very much recommend it. Great experience.
