- JjimmyCleveland / Akron / Canton •8 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoRed, the Steakhouse in downtown Cleveland is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in the city. I ordered the ribeye, and it was absolutely incredible—perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and incredibly flavorful. The service was professional and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere was classy but comfortable. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Red is a must-try if you’re craving a top-tier steak. Highly recommend the ribeye!More infoRed, the Steakhouse ClevelandPrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• Downtown Cleveland•4.6
- RROBINVIPCleveland / Akron / Canton •27 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agothe poached shrimp salad is phenom! There is a half size and full size. Half is great if you are also getting a meal. The Veal Parm is like no other - HUGE piece of veal with the bone - tastes amazing. The drink with rosemary (I think the Verone?) was amazing! Def get the meatballs for appetizer - they are amazing and so is the sauce. Just a wonderful atmosphere with great food and service! The desserts are also amazing - the lemonicello cheesecake; the creme brulee was fantastic and the gelato refreshing.More infoIl VenetianPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown Cleveland•4.8

Discover Downtown Cleveland
Cleveland is all about sports, rock 'n' roll and food. This gritty, hard-working river town is home to the Indians, the Cavaliers and the Polish Boy. What's a Polish Boy, you ask? It's a messy yet deliciously satisfying combination of kielbasa, french fries, coleslaw and barbecue sauce. This dish is perfect for enjoying before a game or a night of entertainment in the Flats. While you're catching a game, don't forget to ask for Bertman's Original Ball Park Mustard. It's the hometown favorite. No trip to Believeland would be complete without the Cleveland take on the Cassata where chefs swap out ricotta for custard and candied fruit for strawberry filling. With unique local creations, diverse ethnic offerings and modern twists on classic favorites, Cleveland belongs on any foodie's radar.
