Topping the list is Fire. Located at 13220 Shaker Square in Buckeye Shaker, the New American and seafood spot is the highest-rated high-end seafood spot in Cleveland, boasting 4.5 stars out of 303 reviews on Yelp.

We looked to Yelp for an overview of Fire.

"We opened on Shaker Square in 2001," the business notes in the history section of its Yelp profile. "We began as a restaurant that highlighted local food using local meats, farmed and artisan ingredients. We roast our meats and fish in our Indian Tandoor oven and wood fired Argentinian grill."

Next up is downtown's Blue Point Grille, situated at 700 W. St. Clair Ave., Suite 200. With four stars out of 366 reviews on Yelp, the spot to score seafood has proven to be a local favorite for those looking to indulge.

We turned to Yelp to learn more about Blue Point Grille.

"The cosmopolitan dining room's towering windows overlook the heart of the city. Blue Point serves the absolute freshest and highest quality seafood available anywhere and shucks over 75,000 fresh oysters per year," the business notes on its Yelp profile.

3. Il Venetian

Downtown Cleveland's Il Venetian, located at 100 St. Clair Ave. NE, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the fancy Italian and Mediterranean spot 4.5 stars out of 83 reviews.
