Ohio eatery named one of the best hotel restaurants in America by OpenTable
An eatery in Ohio was named one of the 100 best hotel restaurants in America for 2025. OpenTable recently released its "Top Hotel Restaurants for 2025" list, and Il Venetian in Cleveland was named on the list by the online restaurant reservation platform. The "upscale, modern Italian restaurant" features handmade pastas, fresh fish and seafood, fine meats, and artisan pastries and gelato, according to OpenTable. Some of the dinner menu highlights include grilled octopus, grilled long bone veal chop, wagyu carpaccio and blueberry risotto. The restaurant also features artwork, chandeliers, sculptures and glasswork imported from Venice and other Italian cities. "Above all, we offer a commitment to make food with love and care like they do in Italy," Il Venetian says on its website. The restaurant on East St. Clair Avenue in downtown Cleveland was the only restaurant in Ohio to make OpenTable's list. No Pittsburgh-area restaurants were selected this year. Il Venetian is open Monday through Friday for lunch and Monday through Saturday for dinner. It has a 4.8-star rating on OpenTable with 1,074 reviews. OpenTable said it found the best hotel restaurants in America for 2025 with the help of Kayak, a travel services website. The list was determined after reviewing more than 10,000,000 reviews from verified OpenTable diners and "dining metrics" from June 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025. The metrics, OpenTable said, included the percentage of five-star reviews and diner ratings. "Trust us when we say these restaurants are worth the trip," OpenTable said of its list.

The Top 50 Hotel Restaurants list was compiled by restaurant booking site OpenTable and its travel search partner site Kayak. It was compiled by reviewing restaurants located in hotels and analyzing more than one million diner reviews and dining metrics, including diner ratings, and reservation demand, OpenTable says. Among the list are the Shore Club, located in Ottawa's Westin Hotel, and Zoe's at Fairmont Chateau Laurier. 'As hotel dining enters a new age with nearly two thirds of hotel restaurant diners being locals, it's a chance to win over locals looking to dine out, not just overnight guests,' said OpenTable Canada executive Matt Davis in a news release. According to OpenTable, a recent survey by Walr found that nearly half (46 per cent) of Canadians said they have spent more on food and drinks at a restaurant than on any other activities during a trip and more than two thirds (68 per cent) of Canadians would book the same hotel again because of a positive dining experience in the restaurant. Toronto topped the list with 10 restaurants. Four restaurants in Montreal were also featured. You can see the full list on OpenTable's website.
