Discover a one-stop spot for comedy, fine cuisine and cocktails in the Gateway District.

In Short
This two-tiered, Victorian-inspired spot brings white-linen dining, sassy martinis and laughter to the historic Cleveland Opera House site. Downstairs, a 425-seat comedy club offers post-Leno, but pre-sitcom, stand-up acts. Power diners appreciate the club atmosphere upstairs, while stylish patrons prefer the sleek Saarinen chairs in the lounge. Wood-fired fare, such as flatbread pizza, and rotisserie chicken served with the house ''porridge'' (a hearty cheddar-ale soup) headline the rustic American menu in the dining room.
