    The dining experience at Il Venetian was outstanding. The food was incredible, from the meatballs as an appetizer, to the tiramisu for dessert. Every course was excellent and the service was top-notch as well. The filet mignon was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had anywhere. Great atmosphere and a wonderful experience for our anniversary from the moment we stepped through the doors. Will certainly be returning for our next special night out or occasion.

    Cadandra, our server was very good. The calamari appetizer and Tiramisu for dessert were excellent. For dinner, I had the short rib special (over home-made pasta), and my daughter had the Salomon. The Entre's were very good but did not stand out among other high end dining experiences. This restaurant is in the Marriott in downtown Cleveland, and while the decor is elegant, it lacks a special, unique nuance that makes it memorable. Overall, it was a very good experience, but not extraordinary.

    The service at Il Venetian is unmatched! The restaurant is gorgeous and the ambiance was perfect, but the customer service is what really wowed me. My steak was a bit overcooked and the staff went above and beyond to ensure that I was satisfied! I will most definitely return.
