Avocado toast with poached eggs, and a mimosa
Tamara G.

If you are staying in this Hilton on a weekend or when there is a wedding or any special events going on in Cleveland I recommend that you use OpenTable and make a reservation. Otherwise you may have a half hour wait for a table. The first day we had to wait a half hour for a table, which was fine because we were not in a hurry. We enjoyed our breakfast and we felt like we got a decent portion for the price. We also enjoyed their bloody Mary's and mimosas. Our server was friendly. The next day I did make a reservation on OpenTable, which was good because the line was out the door into the hallway. They were slammed because there was a wedding and the wedding party had reserved, three separate tables of 10 to 12 people. So Service was extremely slow, but our food was still very good as were our drinks. they do have a breakfast buffet, we did not partake of that. We ordered off the menu. It is a big restaurant and it also has an outside patio area. Definitely not bad for a hotel restaurant.

Eggs Benedict

Solidly the best poached egg I've ever had. The texture was out of this world. Smooth, silky, fluffy, hard to explain but wow. The eggs Benedict was delish. Definitely recommend

They have a few vegetarian options but no vegan options. They won't even veganize a vegetarian dish. If you are vegan ... avoid this place.

My son made reservations for a treat at Burnham s today for their Mother's Day brunch. What a wonderful surprise. The food was expertly created. The staff were pleasant and cheerful. While leaving, they presented all of the moms with a small bouquet of flowers. It was a wonderful day with the family! Thanks kids !!!!

The Burnham Restaurant is located inside the Hilton Hotel in downtown Cleveland. I had breakfast here one morning after staying overnight in the Hotel. Ordered an omelette - with spinach, mushrooms, onions, bell pepper, sausage, and cheese. Plus V-8 juice, water, and coffee. Omelette was really good. I spiced it up with some Sriracha sauce. The staff were friendly and efficient. #TheBurnhamRestaurant

I thought this place was kind of confusing because it seemed like it was the breakfast bar for the hotel but then there were menus on our table for the restaurant. I later realized that they offer the buffet on their menu but I saw people take items from the buffet without getting a plate so I was a bit confused. There were several parties waiting but I saw a ton of open tables. Either way, our table was sat and we were told that the bloody mary bar was down a level (it's only a few steps) at the bar, and we could customize with whatever toppings/mix/additions we wanted, so that was very cool. They handed us a glass with vodka and we were on our way! I felt the price of the food versus the size did not match. I got the chicken and waffles and they were miniature waffles and two drumsticks that were mostly bone.

Friday night was relaxing with good service and delicious foods. Started with the Malibu Coconut Rum Ginger lemonade. Light and refreshing. Chose lobster bisque to start. A cup was plenty as it was thick and flavorful. The guys chose the special: 9 oz sirloin grilled to perfection. Included the best garlic Brussels sprouts and out-of-this-world mac & cheese. Not kidding. The ladies had the beet salad with large pieces of red and yellow beets snd shaved Comte cheese. Yum. The scallops were delicious and plenty. The octopus was fabulous hidden under arugula with fingerling potatoes covered with a light tangy sauce. So delicious. The entrees are a little pricey, but this is a Hilton venue. A meal can be made out of the soups, salads and appetizers. Recommend.

Kitchen staff at work.
Ron K.

Only three stars, hostess was totally overwhelmed when 20 or so people showed up at once. Waiter was helpful but "stymied " by a slow kitchen. Portion was small. Food quality was good but minimum amount. If you go. Just don't expect to walk away "stuffed".

Receipt

Reserved table for a group of more than 6, beware when you do this checks must be paid all together of split evenly 2-3 ways. The food is terrible for the price. No one at my party enjoyed their food and we all had different menu items. There isn't an extensive menu, and for the price of the food you might as well go to dennys .. same food, maybe even better. Personally, I had a side Caesar salad and chicken tenders along with a calamari appetizer and 2 strawberry margaritas.. the margaritas were great, I'm not upset about the drinks at all... everything else, even the free dessert my friend got for her birthday was trash only got two stars bc the hotel was so amazing ..

Constantly thinking about my meal! We had the carrot muhamarra, which is stupid good. Like, insane. The pimento cheese is some of the best I've ever had. I want to be buried with the over dressed greens--my god, what a good salad. We also did the burger box, which cannot be missed. And to round it out, I had the best chocolate-y dessert of my life, and I almost never pick a chocolate dessert. Absolutely to die for. Go make your reservation!

No notes. Best part of the meal. In hindsight, I wish our entire meal was apps. For entrees, we ordered the burger box and corned lab with sides of green beans and burnt carrots. All of this was fine. I wasn't blown away by any of it. The sides were enormous, and this was too much food for two people (I'll take the blame for ordering too much, lol). What was off-putting was our waiter's behavior. He wouldn't make eye contact with me, was borderline rude and preferentially interacted with my (male) dining partner. I noticed. My dining partner noticed. It earned a big WTF reaction from me and kind of put a damper on the dinner. The apps were good, but everything else was pretty mid. There's so many permutations of this type of restaurant that I wouldn't go back, and I would take my business elsewhere next time I'm in Cleveland.

We got there at 11:45am. Upon entering, a pleasant young lady greeted us and, as they were not at all busy, told us we were welcome to choose any table we liked. So we sat right at the window along the river with a very nice view. Quickly thereafter a bubbley, smiling face arrived by the name of Sara. She brought us our water and took our drink orders and away she bounced... marvelous. Shortly after, she returned with our drinks. She very effectively answered our questions and we placed our orders. We were both not too hungry so we stayed with the starters menu. We shared an order of the "Heavenly Biscuits" and I added the "Marinated Olives". Then we both had a bowl of the "Lobster Bisque". Everything showed up in a timely fashion and in proper order. All of it was excellent. I must say, the bisque was exceptionally meaty. A pleasant surprise. As we were finishing up I mentioned I was looking forward to coffee. When Sara arrived I told her we would both like a cup as soon as we were done. With a big smile she said I heard you talking about it and already started a fresh pot for you. I was amazed... such a simple thing, but an example of extraordinary service. My compliments to Sara and the Lakehouse for employing her. After finishing our coffee we took a long stroll on the boardwalk all along the East Bank. It was a very nice afternoon. I recommend the Lakehouse and I highly recommend Sara... ask for her.

The house-made guacamole was absolutely delicious and packed with fresh flavor. It was the perfect way to start our dining experience. The short rib French dip was outstanding. It was loaded with tender, flavorful meat, and the au jus was rich, savory, and as flavorful as they come. Every bite was incredible. The fish and chips were equally impressive. The fish was tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly, with a light, crispy coating that complemented it beautifully. Overall, a fantastic meal with excellent service and food that exceeded expectations. We will definitely be back!

We arrived to be greeted by an exemplary young man serving as the valet. He was exceedingly pleasant and personable. I appreciated his marvelous attitude toward his job and our service. The young women who greeted us upon entry were very kind and efficient. We were seated immediately at a very comfortable table. Shortly thereafter, a pleasant gentleman by the name of Ihab introduced himself as our server for the evening. He immediately filled our water, identified the various menus at the table, and took our drink orders. A while later our beverages arrived, he answered several questions and explained the evenings specials. I ordered the Grilled Avocado followed by Broiled Oysters "Rocco". My wife ordered the Potato Gnocchi with crab & lobster. We followed our meal with excellent coffee and a good Pot de Creme. In conclusion... the noise problem that so plagued us the first visit seemed to have been addressed. It was now more reasonable. Our server was a pleasant enough young man but he appeared spread thin. He was continually distracted by his many other tables. It was a bit inconvenient. Finally, the menu was respectable but predictable. There was nothing extraordinary about it.

I will not come back and of course I will not recommend this restaurant to a friend.

After waiting about 10 minutes with no acknowledgment from anyone, I decided to at least check out the restroom while I waited... and that's when everything went downhill. The floors were extremely sticky--every step literally felt like my shoes were pulling off the ground. It didn't feel clean at all. As I got closer to the restroom area, there was a strong smell of what I can only describe as wet, moldy rags. The bathroom itself was dark, oddly designed, and just gave an overall uncomfortable vibe. What made it worse is that the place wasn't even busy--there was only one table and a couple people at the bar. So the lack of service and cleanliness really stood out. By the time I walked back to the bar, I had already made up my mind. No one had still acknowledged me, and based on the condition of the place, I wasn't willing to take a chance on the food. I grabbed my things and left. Later on, I mentioned it at another restaurant and was told this place is known for poor food quality and lack of authenticity--which honestly aligned with what I experienced just from being inside. I can't speak on the food since I didn't stay, but based on cleanliness, smell, and service alone, I would not recommend this spot. It gave the impression that basic upkeep isn't a priority, and that's not something I'm willing to overlook.

We parked in the back which was convenient for going to the west side market after. The patio is bright and well decorated with flowers. (Pansies is perfect for this chilly weather and while too cool to eat outside, it was nice to walk through the patio). The inside is rustic, wooden tables, a western /organic decor. A friend recommended the bone broths. I ordered the chicken. Yum. Very warm and wholesome! I also ordered the power bowl with Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, chili nut oil and an egg on top.

I think I was oversold on the whole "health food" situation happening here…read more As someone who doesn't eat animals, I genuinely like healthy food, and I'm exactly the kind of person who should be excited about a restaurant making thoughtful ingredients and dietary options part of its identity. Instead, the whole thing felt a little less "we care about what we feed people" and a little more "we would like you to know that we food better than you." There is a weird food elitism to the branding that would be much easier to swallow if the actual food backed it up. Unfortunately, for the price, mine absolutely did not. The menu talks a very big game about clean ingredients, non-GMO everything, special oils, organic this and carefully sourced that, but at some point the food still has to taste good. Healthy food does not need to be boring food, and expensive food definitely should not be boring food. I left feeling like I had paid a premium for the philosophy of my meal rather than the meal itself. To be fair, our server was incredibly sweet. She was warm and lovely and was easily the best part of the experience, so none of this is a criticism of the service. I was also genuinely surprised to see balloons being used as gifts for kids. Maybe that sounds nitpicky, but when a restaurant markets itself so heavily around wellness, conscious choices, vegan options and doing food "better," disposable balloons feel bizarrely off-brand. You cannot sell me environmental-adjacent food virtue and then using gimmicks like a 6 year olds birthday at Applebee's. That was kind of the theme of TownHall for me: a lot of messaging about being thoughtful, elevated and health-conscious, without enough substance behind it to justify either the attitude or the bill. Cleveland has too many restaurants making genuinely interesting vegetarian and vegan food for me to pay this much just to be lectured by a menu. Sweet server. Great location. Lots of dietary options on paper. But for the price? The food needed to be a whole lot better than "at least it's non-GMO."

It was only a few blocks away from the Hilton Downtown Hotel. We had a reservation for 7:00 P.M on a Sunday evening. I liked how convenient the location is. If you're in downtown visiting some of the historic locations, this is a great spot to stop by for a meal. The atmosphere was so high energy because there was a Cleveland Browns game that same evening! The menu has a wide range of steaks, seafood, burgers, salads, and other options. I ended up ordering the French Onion Soup for a starter. There was supposed to be cornbread, but our table never got it though. I enjoyed the French Onion Soup. There was two small pieces of bread inside the soup. There was plenty of cheese and the broth was quite flavorful! I had ordered my filet mignon medium to well done, unfortunately, it was cooked rare. The team member assisting our table went ahead and took the steak back to the kitchen and had the steak recooked until it was medium to well done. It was about 15 minutes before it came back out, luckily, I was still eating my soup. The cheesecake was awesome for dessert. I only ate a few bites of it since I was pretty full from the steak! I'm glad I had a chance to eat at Cleveland Chop. It was my first time in Cleveland before and the restaurant was a lot of fun.
