1. Blue Point Grille
Topping the list is Blue Point Grille. Located at 700 W. St. Clair Ave., it is the highest rated high-end seafood restaurant in Cleveland, boasting four stars out of 284 reviews on Yelp.
Located in downtown Cleveland's Warehouse District, look for options like fresh oysters and shrimp cocktails for starters; and entrées like Gulf of Maine salmon with mushrooms, artichokes and Brussels sprouts; grilled swordfish with Swiss chard, pineapple salsa and French red rice; and broiled lobster tails with rose potatoes, green beans and drawn butter.
2. Fahrenheit
Next up is Tremont's Fahrenheit, situated at 2417 Professor Ave. With four stars out of 263 reviews on Yelp, the cocktail bar and New American spot, serving seafood and more, has proven to be a local favorite for those looking to indulge.
Heat things up with main courses like butter-poached Maine lobster macaroni and cheese; swordfish with clams; roasted organic chicken; and pan-roasted black bass. Then cool down with a cocktail like the Lemonade Stand, mixed with vodka, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, and berries; the Hi-Fi Mai Tai Punch, infused with light, dark and coconut rums; or blackberry sangria.
3. Marble Room Steaks and Raw Bar
Downtown's Marble Room Steaks and Raw Bar, located at 623 Euclid Ave., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the fancy steakhouse and sushi bar four stars out of 122 reviews.
"This is a perfect place to go when you're looking to spend a lot of money on a nice meal and feel like you got your money's worth," Yelper Molly F. said. "The service was fantastic, the food was amazing and the building itself and the decor is stunning."
4. Il Venetian
And last but not least is Il Venetian, a downtown patisserie, cake shop and Italian spot that offers seafood and more. The much-loved, pricey go-to has earned 4.5 stars out of 15 Yelp reviews. Head over to 100 St. Clair Ave. NE to try it for yourself.
This upscale haunt specializes in Italian fare like burrata, grilled octopus, housemade pasta and risotto, pistachio-crusted yellowfin tuna, chicken scallopini, black spaghetti puttanesca and grilled filet mignon. But don't forget to save some room for desserts like cannoli with housemade ricotta; vanilla cake with mascarpone gelato; and crepes with chocolate mousse and Sicilian orange liqueur.
