Severance Restaurant — Restaurant in Cleveland

This is the Severance hall restaurant, it is in the building of Severance hall and it is minutes from the hall's seats. You should try it if you want to eat before/after a show at Severance hall and you don't want to try driving and parking at other locations. The food is good, but there are limited selections. I met others here before a show and they got stuck in traffic and were later than we'd planned on meeting. The server assured us that all meals would arrive 10 minutes or less after the server puts in your order. I didn't time her but we sat, got drinks, ate, and got our check in less than an hour. It is quite expensive, and not as good as other restaurants that serve similarly priced meals. The wine and beer selection is limited but there is also a full bar. The portions are reasonably sized, all 4 of my party members were full after eating only an entree. I am not looking to go back, but I would consider it if someone else...

I'd give it 0 stars if I could. We had a 5:30 reservation before the 7:00 concert on Valentine's Day. We ordered an appetizer, a glass of wine and a soda and our entrees. I was looking forward to dessert. The servers brought our appetizer and drinks. Our waiter, who seemed to have a great personality, only came out after that too tell the nice lady next to us that they were out of scallops (which were on the price fixe special menu for the holiday) at only 6pm. They had not been open that long and had a long night ahead of them. Next, I hear another waiter tell the bartender they need to 86 the fillets... my meal of choice for the evening. Tick....tick...tick... 6:30....no entrees.... concert starts in 30 min..... 6:45 we cancel our entrees and went to hear the orchestra on...

Location, location, location -- and good food and service!

Have you ever had tickets for a concert at Severance Hall, had dinner somewhere else, and hardly enjoyed the meal because you were concerned about getting to the concert on time?

I have! So now I like to park in the deck at Severance and dine either at the Severance Restaurant, or Michelson and Morley next door to the concert hall, but both accessible from the same underground parking. ENJOY dinner, knowing your car is safely parked and you can stroll to your seat for the concert. Service and food are both excellent at both restaurants. You can eat more cheaply, but if you have already planned a nice evening out, make it less stressful by dining at the Severance Restaurant, or Michelson and...
