One of the fine dining experiences in Cleveland. The Marriott hotel is very nice, but I stay at the Marriott when I come to Cleveland because of this restaurant.

The Thanksgiving buffet was very good. Turkey, ham, roast beef, all the traditional sides, and a slew of desserts. The staff was friendly and welcoming. As a single traveler, I felt at home. Thank you to The Burnham for an outstanding meal and a great dining experience.
