The Burnham Restaurant: Cleveland American Restaurant Guide

I had lunch at Burnham Restaurant in Cleveland, and it turned out to be a really pleasant surprise. From start to finish, the experience was relaxed, the food was delicious, and the service was excellent. I started with the crispy Brussels sprouts, and they were absolutely to die for — perfectly roasted, crisp on the edges, and seasoned just right. Easily one of the best versions I’ve had anywhere. For my entrée, I ordered the roasted trout, and it was delightful — beautifully cooked, tender, and flavorful without being heavy. The presentation was elegant, and the ingredients tasted fresh and well-balanced. The customer service was great. The staff was warm, attentive, and friendly without being overbearing. Everything came out at the right pace, and it was clear the team takes pride in offering a good dining experience. When we went for lunch on a Tuesday, we were actually the only patrons in the restaurant, which was surprising given how good the food was. That made the space feel calm and almost private — a nice change from the usual lunchtime rush. You can tell the restaurant has the potential for a really dope vibe when it’s busier — the layout, lighting, and design all suggest it would be a great spot for a lively dinner or evening out. Overall, Burnham Restaurant is a hidden gem that deserves more attention. The food is fantastic, the service is spot-on, and the atmosphere has a lot of promise. I’d absolutely go back — especially for those Brussels sprouts.

Entree took too long when there are only 2 tables in the restaurant. My server is gone somewhere, then I have to ask about my entree with other server. I get roasted trout, it smells bad when I taste it at first bite so I changed to roasted half chicken. The roasted chicken is not good as well. Chicken is so plain and the fried stuff that comes with it is horrible. I'm so disappointed on food and service here. It's gonna be my first and last time at this restaurant.

Visited here on a whim. Was not staying at the hotel, but simply out in the area and we stopped for a very simple meal. The service was great, but the options were limited for breakfast (we didn’t get the buffet) However, what we DID get was simply amazing! We shared the challah French toast and had a few drinks including their mimosa (which was equally amazing!) We enjoyed ourselves so much that we are now planning to book a room for a weekend just to have an excuse to go back!

Solid breakfast options and good service. Nice place to sit and eat breakfast before you begin your day. We both got chicken and waffles and we loved it! Fresh fried chicken and they gave REAL MAPLE SYRUP (you’d think that’d be the bare minimum at other breakfast restaurants but you’d be disappointingly surprised). Overall, this place was a great experience and this hotel as a whole was a stay we’d never forget.

Our waitress was phenomenal. I would give her 5 stars. The menu is very limited. Meatballs had a weird taste. Didn’t have a simple salad. No burger unless ordering from the children's menu. $130 for 2 adults 1 child.
