Cleveland has a lot of fine-dining options. Come with us as we tour half a dozen fancy restaurants downtown, showing you some of their best food and drink items on the menu. See Marc Bona's article on cleveland.com

Marble Room: 623 Euclid Ave. / If you want a place to see and be seen, this is it. Its opulent setting in an old bank building with cathedral-like ceilings will have you looking up and around like a tourist in the big city.

Goma: Cleveland celebrity chef Dante Boccuzzi brings a high-end sushi restaurant to the corner of East 4th Street and Prospect Avenue. In addition to Boccuzzi’s acclaimed sushi skills, the restaurant serves up tempura and noodle dishes. Bonus: Basement speakeasy offers top-tier cocktails.

Luca: 2100 Viaduct. / A high-energy fine-dining Italian restaurant with spectacular views of the city. Luca and Lola Sema have married a wonderful menu with a fantastic wine list. The menu respects meat dishes and seafood equally.

RED The Steakhouse: 417 Prospect Ave. / Three words: Certified Angus Beef. With plenty of creative sauces and toppings (chilies and garlic, horseradish crème fraiche, chimichurri, plus others), this is a steak lover’s paradise. It doesn’t skimp on the non-beef offerings, either: A raw bar is available, as are seafood carbonara, free-range veal marsala, New Zealand lamb rack.

Il Venetian: 100 St. Clair Ave. / There’s a wonderful elegance in this restaurant located in the Marriott at Key Center. A small bar and tantalizing glass-enclosed wine racks line the dining room. Wagyu beef carpaccio with arugula, black truffle and parmesan sets a wonderful tone as you peruse the menu and its half dozen house-made pastas and entrees like pistachio-crusted yellowfin tuna and grilled Berkshire pork chop.

Mallorca: 1390 W. 9th St. / Owner Laurie Torres has said for years she treats her restaurant like a family, and it shows. And she’s not talking about her staff only. Customers remain important, and she wants them to feel as if they are seeing an old friend when they return. The cuisine alone would be the attraction, because you don’t always see Portuguese and Spanish dishes. Strong seafood focus, but really everything is delicious.
