Best Steak Restaurants in Downtown Cleveland / Playhouse Square

★★★★★ Our dinner at Delmonico's Steakhouse was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were treated to impeccable service that made my wife's birthday celebration truly special. The manager, Tim, went above and beyond to ensure her birthday was memorable – he personally stopped by our table several times to check on us and even had a birthday card waiting at our table. His warm congratulations and attention to detail made my wife feel like a VIP on her special day. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between classic steakhouse elegance and warm intimacy. Our server, who demonstrated extensive knowledge of both the menu and wine list, helped us make excellent choices throughout the evening. We began with the classic Caesar salad, crisp and perfectly dressed with just the right hint of anchovy. For the main course, I opted for their signature bone-in ribeye, cooked to a perfect medium-rare, while the birthday girl chose the filet mignon. Both cuts were butter-tender and seasoned to perfection. The sides of creamed spinach and truffle mac & cheese complemented our steaks beautifully. Worth every penny for a special occasion like this. With Tim at the helm ensuring every detail is perfect, Delmonico's continues to set the standard for what a premium steakhouse experience should be. Thanks to Tim and his team for making my wife's birthday such a memorable evening. We'll definitely be back for our next celebration.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Seated at a high-top in the bar, we told our amazing server Ronna that we wanted to take our time through drinks, apps, dinner and then after dinner drinks. She obliged with precision. She checked on us just enough, made sure the water and wine glasses were never empty. Steaks were cooked to perfection and the live music was an added bonus. Our only complaint, if you’d call this one, is that we’re always hoping that HP would add either a sliced red potatoe or a Yukon gold to the menu.

The food was great! The lobster escargot style was one of the tastiest bites of food we had in a while. Great service, lively atmosphere, will return.

Excellent service and tasty food. We made reservations and were seated right away. The restaurant was crowded because there was a concert at the arena that night. The owner came by and found out it was my husband’s birthday. He gave the 5 of us complimentary after dinner drinks👌🏼

Amazing food and service! This was our first trip to Cleveland so we looked on Trip Advisor for a recommendation. We loved it. Friendly servers. Comfortable atmosphere.
