Best Healthy Restaurants in Downtown Cleveland / Playhouse Square

Always great food at a reasonable price. Good value.

Professional restauranters are running this restaurant. This is old school service. Front end staff is pleasant and knowledgeable. Managers are attentive. Bartender is a pro. Our apps (we had 4 I'm embarrassed to admit) were excellent. The crab app and the mushroom gnocchi app (available in bar) were outstanding. My entre (grouper) was very salty but I will give that a pass because everything else was excellent. If you are seeking an old school fine dining experience with knowledgeable and personable wait staff in Cleveland, it is basically down to Johnny's on Fulton and Blue Point. I put this place on a level with several first rate restaurants in Manhattan and Washington D.C.

This was my first experience at The South Side. I chose it because it was the only restaurant in the area that had reservations available at the time I needed them. It is now a place that I will choose in the future and recommend to friends. The hostess was welcoming, the service was great, the food was delicious. I loved the wide variety on the menu with some Cleveland favorites. Initially, we were worried about the noise level, but we were seated in a back room that was perfect for relaxed conversation.

Dante never disappoints. The food and drinks are always amazing. The service as well. This is my go to when people are in from out of town. Shows off our incredible food scene in the CLE.

It was a bit slow to get our order and food in but otherwise a great dinner. We will be back
