Ghost Light Restaurant & Lounge in Cleveland, OH: Experience Classy Dining and Excellent Service

It’s a good spot, but it’s not gonna wow you. That said everything has always been solid, including the food and service.

We enjoyed a really nice meal before we went to see a concert at Playhouse Square, Straight No Chaser. Kato did a wonderful job as she worked the bar and waited tables. We had the cauliflower appetizer and Braised short ribs for dinner. Everything was delicious! It was a great space to be before a concert and Kato did a wonderful job. We would recommend stopping by for anyone who is downtown. We will be back!

The pricing and food were quite excellent. They were very accommodating as were in the vicinity to see a show in Playhouse Square. The waitress was also the bartender so she was working very hard. It took a while for us to get our food but that was not her fault. She was hustling as best as she could. Either way, this is a good spot for anyone wanting to go see a show and wanting a formal but not outrageous and expensive dining experience.

I had a great experience at Ghost Light Restaurant. The service was excellent, and the waitress Kato was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, and I really enjoyed every bite. The drink, which was the house specialty, was well-prepared, and the Kato did a fantastic job in making it. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making the dining experience even better. Overall, it’s a wonderful place with great service, tasty food, and well-crafted drinks. I’d definitely visit again!

Eric is amazing! I went back because of his service and humor. The food was fantastic too, and the restaurant has a great view and an excellent location for Playhouse Square. If you can only go once, I recommend the Tuscan Chicken Sandwich. In spite of the Italian name, the fries have some NOLA kick!

The experience was great! The food was amazing. No complaints! This is a wonderful place to eat prior toto seeing a show at the Playhouse Square.

First time in Cleveland and staying a few days at the Crowne Plaza for a conference. Decided to get dinner at the Ghost Light after settling into our hotel room. Josh, the Food & Beverage Manager, was extra accommodating for my multiple food allergies and even had the chef visit our table to help me decide what would be safest for me to order. Very welcoming, professional, and friendly staff. Star was our designated server and was super attentive with 110% customer service. I ordered the grilled New York Strip medium-well without the glaze and with extra potatoes. My husband ordered a jasmine tea since he already ate before me. Service was fairly fast with my food being ready in about 15-20 minutes after I ordered, and the place wasn't ultra busy at around 8pm on a Saturday with about 3 other active tables being served. Steak was prepared excellently with only a thin layer of crispy fat. Potatoes were pretty good and the asparagus spears were well-cooked just how I liked em. Jasmine tea smelled great and tasted nice from what I sampled from my husband's tea cup. I also ordered 2 shots of Johnnie Black straight, which paired nicely with the steak dinner. Total cost for the meal was about $80, excluding generous tip. Overall, the food and service were 11 out of 10 stars! We'd go here again. The location itself is tough to find parking, but if you're already staying at the hotel, the Ghost Light is a must visit. Addition: There is a buffet breakfast that closes at 11 a.m., which costs $16.95 plus tax per person. Luckily, the conference I'm attending includes a voucher for the breakfast, but regularly, it would cost about $35 for 2 people. There is an assortment of baked goods (bagels, mini muffins, bread), some cereal, oatmeal, fruits (grapes, honeydew, cantalope), Chobani fruit yogurt, milk, scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, and bacon. I had the yogurt, eggs, oatmeal, and potatoes (I was hungry) and my husband had a pastry, eggs, potatoes, and black tea. Even if breakfast was covered by my conference, we tipped anyway since our server Carmella was attentive, and Joseph, the day manager, was very helpful and accommodating. We'll be back another day to enjoy more of the menu.

This place is great!! 4 of us are there on Valentines Day. We all got something different and it was all delicious. Server was fun and engaged. Food was excellent. Short ribs were best in town. Beef medallions were solid. Executive chef came out to say hello. It worked perfectly for theater goers. We will all be going back again! Well done!!
