Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Downtown Cleveland / Playhouse Square

We were extremely pleased to find an elevated brunch experience at Betts. The environment is chic, the food great, and the service impeccable. Highly recommended.

First time there. Recommend by foodie. It was wonderful from valet parking to valet parking. The ambiance was great sitting at the bar, watching the chefs deliver beautiful dishes. Our server was wonderful and helped us pick exactly the pieces that matched our “likes” and pushed us a little too. A great night and one we won’t soon forget.

Loved the food. Wish it was a little less loud. Service was wonderful and presentation was amazing.

Everything was amazing!! Our server Jayonna was great!! We got a shrimp cocktail app Then each had steaks and the Gouda bacon potatoes and creamed spinach and it was perfect! Numerous staff members came to our table to ask how everything was and if we needed anything which was also nice! Overall excellent experience for my birthday dinner! Best meal I’ve had in awhile!! Highly recommend

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.
