    Betts is an incredible dining experience. Nick Dlugoss is an amazing chef and I will be highly recommending Betts to anyone I know looking for a superior dining experience in the Cleveland area. The staff is professional, welcoming and accommodating. This was by far one of the best meals I’ve ever had.

    Very attractive space. The two-tops are close to each other but not uncomfortable. The server was good but not very good. He did not visit the table enough but he did comp us a glass of wine because we had to order it from a different server, so I thought that showed promise :-) The drinks were very well made. We thought the food was good to very good. The menu is extremely limited at this point so e just got a cheeseburger and a salad with salmon. The whipped cheese with truffle honey app was a neat concept - a little heavy handed on truffle but all in all a good app. We will certainly visit again. The hotel itself is very attractive and a great location if heading to Rocket or Progressive.

    This was my second time to visit Table 45 and it was just as great as the first time! I had the broccoli Cheese soup and my sister had the Roasted Butternut Squash Soup. Both were absolutely delicious! Our salad with additional protein were excellent too! No room for dessert but they looked wonderful. I will be back because the service was great and the staff took excellent care of us. Thanks!
