Best Fun Restaurants in University Circle

Always Delicious food. Great special options tonight too

Christopher took care of us really well. Despite being arguably one of the best steak stops in Cleveland? We went for the seafood tower. Mac n cheese side and a chicken spring roll app. Food was incredible, everyone was attentive and the ambiance was superb. Honourable mention: the bananas foster desert is table made and done so beautifully. 10/10

We were in Cleveland to see the symphony and made last minute reservations at Valerio's in Little Italy which is super close to Severance Hall. We were seated promptly and Michael, our server, was a delight. He took excellent care of us, rattled off the specials, and made great recommendations. We ordered the swordfish and the lamb shank and both were amazing. The swordfish was perfectly grilled and delicious. The lamb shank was very tender, falling off the bone, with gravy that was to die for. Both were reasonably priced and less than what we expected to pay. We will definitely go back.

It was my wife's birthday (12/18/24) so to try something new we drove 1½hr to try the Haunted House Restaurant Well worth it! We had an awesome experience. Food was delicious and at a reasonable price. I had the Texas Chainsaw burger and fries while she had the Shaggy which was 2 black waffles with banana pudding and caramel sauce. Everything on the menu is named after a horror movie or Halloween related. You can look online for their menu. The decor was done in everything Horror movie related also. Pennywise, Chucky, Christmas Nightmare etc. Michael Myers was there also. At first I thought he was a statue but once he moved...scared the $#@& out of me! He does his role VERY WELL! The waitress and him even did a little birthday dance for the wife 😆 We had reservations for 4pm. We arrived exactly at 4pm and was walked to our table. After our waitress took our order it was only about 15-20 mins for our food to arrive. Parking wasn't an issue...we parked across the street at the Family Dollar store since we went there before the restaurant. We had a great time and will be back! Definitely would recommend!

Lunch was great - all of us ordered different salads with the add-on crab cake. The salads were good and the crab cake was perfect - crispy edges, not a lot of filler, and delicious! Our waiter was attentive and inconspicuous at the same time.
