Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Cleveland Heights

Had a 6pm reservation, we got there about 10 mins early and were seated as soon as we walked in. Service was excellent! Never had to wait on a refill, she explained the menu and extras not on the menu. Food was delicious. A little pricey but with the options and quality well worth it. The pretzels they bring out as complimentary bread come with compound butters that were amazing. I despise mustard but the Dijon butter was wow!! Definitely worth the trip!!

I had in my head that this restaurant was going to be good, but it far exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was great, the service was great, and the food was incredible. Not only was my 8oz flat iron steak great by chain restaurant standards, it was great by steakhouse standards. Now I'm not someone who has gone too many fancy steakhouses, but this steak is right up there next to the few that I have been to. Both the Lilac Fizz and crème brûlée were also fantastic. I definitely will be back.

From entering to leaving was a great experience. Nice reception at the front and wonderful service throughout the 2 hrs we were there. Flavors were full and diverse, all my taste buds were rejoicing. The salad bar was packed with options and could be made into a main course if desired. The ever flowing parade of meats does not lose one’s attention easily, there is always something new and delicious coming from all directions. The decadent desert options does make one think if you are really full or if taking a slice of cake home is the best option … naturally we took home two.

Our recent visit to this restaurant marked our first experience, and it had been on our culinary bucket list for quite some time. We were eager to see if it would live up to the hype. I am thrilled to report that the restaurant not only met but truly exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm, setting a positive tone for the evening. The service was impeccable; our server was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that all our needs were met promptly. The food was nothing short of excellent—each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. One of the standout features of our experience was the staff, who embodied different characters as they moved around the restaurant. Their interactions added a delightful layer of entertainment, making our dining experience not just a meal but a memorable event. This unique approach truly sets this restaurant apart from others we have visited. We left with full hearts (and stomachs) and are already looking forward to returning in the future! The only minor drawback was that the music played during our visit was slightly louder than we would have preferred, which made conversation a bit challenging at times. However, this did not detract significantly from our overall enjoyment. In summary, if you’re considering a visit here, I highly recommend it—you won’t be disappointed!

The Bruch is wonderful. However, I have never been to a brunch before that didn't have some combination of toast, croissants, bagels, English muffins etc.
