Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Independence

Perfect venue for our 57th wedding anniversary dinner. We go there every year to celebrate!

★★★★★ Our dinner at Delmonico's Steakhouse was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were treated to impeccable service that made my wife's birthday celebration truly special. The manager, Tim, went above and beyond to ensure her birthday was memorable – he personally stopped by our table several times to check on us and even had a birthday card waiting at our table. His warm congratulations and attention to detail made my wife feel like a VIP on her special day. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between classic steakhouse elegance and warm intimacy. Our server, who demonstrated extensive knowledge of both the menu and wine list, helped us make excellent choices throughout the evening. We began with the classic Caesar salad, crisp and perfectly dressed with just the right hint of anchovy. For the main course, I opted for their signature bone-in ribeye, cooked to a perfect medium-rare, while the birthday girl chose the filet mignon. Both cuts were butter-tender and seasoned to perfection. The sides of creamed spinach and truffle mac & cheese complemented our steaks beautifully. Worth every penny for a special occasion like this. With Tim at the helm ensuring every detail is perfect, Delmonico's continues to set the standard for what a premium steakhouse experience should be. Thanks to Tim and his team for making my wife's birthday such a memorable evening. We'll definitely be back for our next celebration.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We always request to be in Sierra’s section. She was attentive as usual and the food was outstanding! I’ll definitely be back.

Professional restauranters are running this restaurant. This is old school service. Front end staff is pleasant and knowledgeable. Managers are attentive. Bartender is a pro. Our apps (we had 4 I'm embarrassed to admit) were excellent. The crab app and the mushroom gnocchi app (available in bar) were outstanding. My entre (grouper) was very salty but I will give that a pass because everything else was excellent. If you are seeking an old school fine dining experience with knowledgeable and personable wait staff in Cleveland, it is basically down to Johnny's on Fulton and Blue Point. I put this place on a level with several first rate restaurants in Manhattan and Washington D.C.

Mary Jane, our server was wonderful. Attentive, kind and knowledgeable. We look forward to coming back again.
