πΊπΈ Marble Room Steaks & Raw Bar β A Historic Gem in Cleveland! π¦β¨
Step into Cleveland's Gilded Age at this breathtaking restaurant housed in a 19th-century skyscraper-turned-bank! Here's why it's a must-visit: ποΈ A Journey Through Time 1893: Built as the city's tallest skyscraper (a marvel of its era!) 1914: Transformed into the opulent Guardian Bank β once the world's second-largest bank π° 2017: Reborn as Marble Room, preserving its original marble columns, vaulted ceilings & bank vault doors (hello, Instagram gold! πΈ) π½οΈ Dining Review βοΈ Must-Orders: Raw Bar: Their salmon crudo is divine π£ (other fish options were just okay) Steaks & Mains: Perfectly cooked with premium ingredients π₯© Atmosphere: 10/10 β dripping in old-world grandeur (dim lighting, jazz music π·) β Cons: Desserts: Way too sweet for my taste π° (skip the chocolate torte!) Service: Surprisingly slow & inattentive for this price point π Parking: Valet is $18 β ouch! π‘ Pro Tips Request a table near the original bank vault for cool photos! Dress code: "Upscale casual" (no shorts/flip-flops) Weekday lunches are less crowded Verdict: Worth it for the architecture & steak, but manage expectations on service. 4/5 stars! π #ClevelandEats #HistoricRestaurants #TravelOhio #FoodieReview #GildedAgeGlam
