- JJoeCleveland / Akron / Canton •4 reviews4.0Dined on 21 Feb 2025Very attractive space. The two-tops are close to each other but not uncomfortable. The server was good but not very good. He did not visit the table enough but he did comp us a glass of wine because we had to order it from a different server, so I thought that showed promise :-) The drinks were very well made. We thought the food was good to very good. The menu is extremely limited at this point so e just got a cheeseburger and a salad with salmon. The whipped cheese with truffle honey app was a neat concept - a little heavy handed on truffle but all in all a good app. We will certainly visit again. The hotel itself is very attractive and a great location if heading to Rocket or Progressive.More infoClub Room at Fidelity Hotel ClevelandPrice: Expensive• American• Downtown Cleveland•4.4
