The Scene – Music may be the food of love, but this elegant destination restaurant tucked inside the concert home of the Cleveland Orchestra knows the real deal: lovers can't achieve bliss on an empty stomach. No sooner have you taken a seat at a white tablecloth in this sleek Art Deco room, and Severance starts making overtures. – – The Dining – Contemporary American cuisine is the main frame of reference, which means the menu takes comfort cuisine treasures like beef, poultry and sea creatures great and small, then gussies up the flavors and presentation for…

not romantic, but good quality

by abagofajay at Citysearch

I went here on a date... never again. The place is actually quite good. People warned me it would be really expensive, but the entrees are only like $22 and it has the food selection, exquisite taste, and elegant decor of a $40 entree place. But I can't see any reason why I'd ever go again. The hours are very odd and being surrounded by the fast-paced orchestra patrons robs it of any magic. Parking is a challenge, as it's in the middle of a college campus (I just walked since my date and I went to Case). But what strikes me is that the atmosphere is imposing in an undefineable way. It's classy, but in a really fake, pretentious way. It had the same effect on my date -- she'd always been so warm, and was that day, too, until we actually entered the place and suddenly everything changed...

  • Pros: Elegant decor, Delectable food, Courteous service
  • Cons: Really uncomfortable, Bad hours, Inconvenient parking
