Best Brunch Restaurants in Downtown Cleveland / Playhouse Square

What a very enjoyable experience we had. My sister and brother-in-law had just arrived this afternoon from Florida and we were searching places for lunch. I had heard about Hecks, but had never been. So we decided to try Hecks … we will be back.  Our server was prompt and very knowledgeable. Her recommendations were spot on, our food was delicious! The Hecks Martini was perfect. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously. What a wonderful beginning to a holiday spent with family.

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.

Great location if you are seeing a show at playhouse. Good was good, service was a bit slow, but they are packed if you are going to dinner before a show.

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.

Our visit to The Centro in Cleveland was nothing short of delightful! From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the warm and glowing atmosphere and the kindness of the hosting staff. The venue is beautifully designed, integrating the past of the Cleveland Trust and the stylish decor of the present. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that all of our needs were met. They even gave us a personalized menu to acknowledge us celebrating our anniversary! The menu at The Centro is impressive and made with local ingredients. We enjoyed the crispy polenta cubes appetizer. We both ordered from the house specialty section of the menu. My husband ordered the braised short ribs and I ordered the chicken parmesan with homemade pasta. Every bite was a testament to the culinary skills of the team. The drink menu was equally impressive, showcasing a variety of inventive cocktails, wine, and beer. My husband ordered a spicy concoction that was on their drink special list and I had the Black Manhattan made with Basil Hayden dark rye whiskey. I wish we had saved room for dessert because the selection was delectable!
