I have been to AMP many times but I am focusing on an often overlooked dining category. AMP150’s kids meals are the best I have ever seen. Ordered the kids mac n cheese and it was definitely chef made with lots of cheesy goodness. They do not serve the instant blue box stuff like some other places do. Also came with a drink, and large servings of fresh cut fruit and a vegetable medley. Wow! If I could, I would order the kid’s meal for lunch :) Definitely plenty to take home and eat the next day.

Wowza. I have been to AMP150 a handful of times now, and it never, ever disappoints. Located inside the Airport Marriott, AMP150 is worth the journey, whether you stay at the hotel or not. To begin, the food is just good. G-o-o-d. Farm-to-table concepts can get lost on me sometimes, but I can taste the difference here. Its so clear AMP150 cares deeply about their menu and the quality of their food. The seating in the restaurant is open concept with a very modern vibe. They have small rooms to accommodate larger reservations, booths that can physically turn directions, and plentiful tables. They also have a full bar, and even infuse their own vodkas in house. The cocktail menu is so inventive and fun, and just to forewarn, you’ll want one of everything. AMP150 might have the best panna cotta in Cleveland. The portion is HUGE and served in a deep glass. The flavor is so rich and fluffy with a sweet caramel undertone, and i’m pretty sure its what dreams are made of. Everything on the menu is excellent, and I also recommend getting several appetizers to share(the fried brussel sprouts and roasted cauliflower really stand out). Everyone can find a menu choice they’ll love, and AMP100% lives up their motto: America’s Modern Palate.

AVOIDGOIGTOANYOFTHEIRHOLIDAYBRUNCHBUFFETS. I went their this year for their Easter Brunch because someone recommended it. I didn’t bother to ask how much it was upon arriving, but I had eaten dinner there before and knew their dinner prices were reasonable. The buffet was not impressive. It had a carver that was carving ham and pork tenderloin. Grilled chicken in a mushroom Demi glaze was very dry, green bean casserole, carrots, mashed potatoes and gravy(the best part of the buffet). They had a basic omelette station with nothin extraordinary to select from to add to your omelette. A small breakfast buffet with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and potatoes. And finally a small salad station with your basic salad toppings and some orzo and deviled eggs, along with a desert table(the cake and brownies were definitely not made in house, both very dry. Now giving the description above, and what they were offering, it’s very clear that this did not have anything off the hook. Absolutely no seafood at all, and the meat they were serving was not expensive prime cuts of beef. When I received the bill I was shocked. For two people it was $ 90.35 before tip! It also included a $ 14.00 convenience fee that was not explained at all. Now, drinks(tea, water, pop, coffee) were included, but a brunch buffet for two being $ 100.00 is insane. The buffet made Golden Coral or Ryan’s look like a five star buffet. I will not be returning anytime soon because of this. Also, since this is pretty popular and fits nicely with people who don’t like to cook, there were a lot of large groups of people and a lot of kids running around and screaming. I was constantly being asked to move my chair in so kids can pass by or get through.

We are staying at the Marriot and how lucky to have this delicious restaurant here! We’ve enjoyed many breakfast and dinner and all have been amazing! The service is also very nice and would definitely recommend it. The egg white omelette is really good and their english muffins are delicious.

I had breakfast here twice — and dinner twice. Dinner #1: Chicken soup: consisted of Avocado, Radish, Spicy Pepper, Corn Spaetzle, Tomato, Cilantro, and Lime. The soup was rather average. It sounded better than it actually was. I ended up adding a good bit of black pepper and hot sauce to make the soup interesting. Spinach Salad: Consisted of course of Spinach, Benton’s Lardons, Shaved Fennel, Mustard Vinaigrette, and Manchebo cheese. The Spinach salad was very tasty, the crunchy bacon(Lardons) on the salad really elevated it. Breakfast #1: Went with the buffet and had them make me a custom omelette: Spinach, mushrooms, onions, and two kinds of cheese. Plus some bacon and smoked salmon on the side. I added some chopped red onions and capers on the smoked salmon. The omelette was really good. Also had a glass of V-8 juice, coffee, and water. Coffee was strong and good. Dinner #2: Had dinner in room. Ordered the Truffle Mac & Cheese(Marscapone, Chive, Parmesan Crisp), an order of the Hand Cut Salt Salt Fries(served with a Malt Vinegar Aioli), and the Natural Free Range Chicken Wings(ordered extra crispy)(served with Buffalo Sauce, Celery Leaves, and Pickled Carrots). The Truffle Mac & Cheese was very creamy and oh so good! I did add some black pepper and some hot sauce to it — as that is how I roll. The fries were hot and crispy, and the wings were cooked extra crispy as I requested. Breakfast #2: Again — went with the buffet and had them make me another custom omelette: Spinach, mushrooms, onions, and fresh jalapeños. They pulled out some pickled jalapeños — which are not very good in an omelette. So they went and got some fresh ones to add — and two kinds of cheese. Plus some bacon and biscuits and sausage gravy on the side. Omelette was awesome, bacon was tasty. But the biscuits were hard, they had been on the buffet to long, and the sausage gravy, while tasty, had been out a bit to long. Also had a glass of V-8 juice, coffee, and water. Coffee was strong and good. Service was very good each time.

Our experience started off slow, but it got better. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar. He asked about draft beers and the bartender didn’t know. Her service overall just lacked. She was cold, unfriendly and unknowledgeable. Her shift must have been ending though, because halfway through service we received a male bartender that was 100 times better. We started with the mussels which were great and moved on to the truffle Mac and cheese and braised lamb. The truffle Mac and cheese was phenomenal, the braised lamb itself was excellent, but the side of beans were boring and bland and didn’t match the dish. I think serving the lamb with some vegetable would be better, but that’s just me. The atmosphere was a little off. The restaurant is located in a hotel lobby, but my boyfriend and I warmed up to it after a couple drinks.

What’s that smell? I ended up at AMP150, in the lobby of the Airport Marriott not by chance, but by necessity. Most of the hotels were full downtown and I elected to stay here. I was headed out to some Irish pub that I found on Unilocal when the staff at this buzzing, open-air bar/restaurant showed me tonight’s menu. Even the chef came over and gave personal recommendations… what the heck… I’ll eat here tonight… no driving, no waiting. The beer selection is decent. I went with a a German Pils called Six Point…5.2 and smooth. Good start. Then I smelled it. Good god, whats that smell? A mixture of sewer gas and stale beer. It passed and I hoped it was from the large table behind me. I ordered the seafood bouillabaisse… recommended by the chef. Very tomatoey… very nice. I devoured this yummy dish and ordered my third beer. Then the smell again. Damn. It’s bad now. Why does it smell so bad? Houston, we have a problem. I was just trying to get through this meal and head back up to my room. The beer was cold, the meal was good… the smell in this area… next to the bar… unbearable.

I finally made it to AMP150 after hearing a huge hype about it for over a year or so now. Unfortunately, my review is very average at best. Let’s start with the atmosphere: Though most hotel restaurants are very open and can be distracting to guests that are there solely to eat, the seating placement still allowed for a feel of intimacy dependent on where in the restaurant you sat. The hostess and our server were both polite and charismatic. Our reservations were set for 6:30PM and while we arrived early, they were very accommodating in seating us early which is always a bonus. As for the food, I think for the most part it was delicious with the exception of the small portions. We started off with the cheese board which had more nuts, toasted bread, and apricots than it did cheese. Aside from AMP150, I think a lot of places are trying to lessen the portion on cheese boards which is unfortunate since it pairs so well with their extensive wine and beer list. I was really impressed with the drink list especially coming from a restaurant located in a hotel. Typically, they are 10x shorter than what we were given. I ordered the Bibb Wedge Salad along with the small plate of truffle mac and cheese. The wedge salad is what it is – always a guilty pleasure of mine. As for the mac and cheese, the white sauce was to die for! DELICIOUS! The was an overabundance of sauce and not enough of the noodles which left me a bit hungry at the end of the night; however, the flavors were there. I don’t necessarily have any complaints, I just wanted more. More food and more energy.

Pork Chop as under cooked, very pink inside. Had to send it back. When they brought it back to me, it appeared to have been placed in a microwave to finish cooking but it was still pink in the middle. The server told me it’s ok now days to have pork pink. Needless to say, I could not eat the under cooked pork so I ordered a dessert. Servers were nice and attentive.

If you order a sandwich or burger you will be very happy but if you order a 7 ounce sirloin you will be very disappointed! Although the menu says it come with mushrooms you will be lucky to find one. The charred leeks amounted to one razor thin piece of leek not leeks! The potatoes were tiny rounds of baby potatoes! Had I known better I would have ordered a side of veggies. The little bit of food I received for the price was good but left me wanting for a real portion given the price.

I’m a Cleveland local and come here often just for the food and drinks, and its a cool hotel bar for a, well, Marriot. Quite unexpected. Farm to table. Local ingredients. Nice variety of menu items. Wings are great. Tonight I finished with the Date Cake. Hot, vanilla, butter rum. A great finish.

There was nothing wrong with AMP150, I was just very underwhelmed. We had the four course Valentine’s Day dinner. My boyfriend had the red pepper soup and enjoyed it very much, but there were no standouts after that. There was a general sense of blandness and a lack of salt in everything. We had the surf and turf with heirloom carrots, arugula salad, pork belly with mustard green ragout, and crab ravioli and they didn’t live up to expectations. My boyfriend did enjoy his banana split dessert, featuring bananas foster ice cream. I will say that the server went above and beyond to ensure my dietary restrictions were met. A big plus for anyone doing whole 30 or paleo, or suffering from food allergies. Other than that the courses came out very slowly and the ambiance was thrown off by kids running through the lobby and patrons in the connected bar watching a hockey game. I’ve heard great things about the tasting menu and food, so I may try again, but I’m not rushing back anytime soon. My boyfriends input«I thought it was okay, sweetie.» No other edits from the ball and chain.

This place is golden. One of the things I dread when traveling for business is getting out of the hotel to find a place to eat. The fact that this really good restaurant is in the lobby is a super plus. Ate the Pasta al Ceppo, the fried Brussels Sprouts, the risotto, the crab cake and the date cake. Everything was super good. Way better than some free standing restaurants I’ve eaten before. Service is pretty good too and staff is pretty friendly.

The menu is extensive and have some great options! The food taste is OK! For this type of restaurant I was expecting a lot more. I am not saying it is bad, it is not that at all, but in comparison to other upscale restaurants that I have been to, this one is on the low end. I had the chicken soup, the papardelle pasta and the pana cotta. The soup and the pasta came in at the exact same time, which was kind of disappointing. They took it back to the kitchen but I am sure it was sitting on a heat lamp until I was done with the appetizer. The pasta tasted great, fresh ingredients, fresh pasta. The pana cotta was disappointing. Service also lacked in quality too, although it was friendly, it could have been more efficient.

I had this amazing Sea Bass entrée with Roasted Chic Peas and something else. The beer is good too ;) and therefore I cannot remember it precisely. But I can tell you it was absolutely delicious and different. Also the Caesar Salad, with the anchovies!(Come on now, keep it real) is a must. You’ll probably never have had one like it before. Finally, Shari was one of the nicest servers ever and a great conversationalist that truly loves her work and environment.

Decent little place for an airport hotel. I was unexpectedly delayed here and got stuck in Cleveland for the night. Their food was very good. i had a cuban sandwich with spaghetti squash. It was all cooked well and flavored really well. They also had 21st Amendment Hell or High Watermelon available… this was nice as we don’t have it in Indiana. Only complain was that my side of squash was something absurd like $ 7. but good thing for me is that American Airlines gave me a voucher for dinner. so they were sorta free since the voucher was for $ 7. The service was good and they got the food out quickly. was happy to see this as it had been too long of a day.

In the past couple of months, I can honestly say that I have eaten here too many times to count or even care to check-in. The concept of the restaurant is fresh farm to table so the menu changes with the seasons. When compared to other Marriott restaurants, it does have a nice variety. The food is can be hit and miss. If you are in a hurry, I would recommend that you sit in the actual restaurant and not in the bar, as depending on how crowed it can get, you can wait awhile. The nice thing about the menu is that they can make a hand full of the dishes Gluten Free. The bar is pretty well stocked with a variety of beers and hard liquors. One of the downsides to AMP is that it closes exactly at midnight, including the bar. Service can be hit and miss as well. If you are in a hurry, I would recommend sitting in the actual restaurant and not the bar as it can get crowded. Overall, if you are staying at the hotel and don’t have a car or want to drive for food, AMP is pretty much your only sit down restaurant in the area.

I think I’ve got mixed feelings about this place. I went in with some fairly high expectations and my experience just didn’t live up to them. The atmosphere is your typical«restaurant in a hotel» with a bit of cheesy lounge thrown in. There are a couple of huge rounded banquettes with gold bead curtains and the tables are surrounded by cushy red vinyl armchairs. There’s a bar toward the front of the space and the whole area spills out into the hotel lobby. I didn’t think it had much of a restaurant feel. We had reservations at 6pm on a Wednesday. We approached the hostess stand and were greeted and seated immediately. We were given a four-top toward the rear of the restaurant. Since we’re normally seated at two-tops whenever we dine out it was nice to have the extra space. Our server was OK. While she was friendly and attentive she seemed distracted every time she was over at our table, constantly looking around or over her shoulder at other tables. Hello, we’re over here… The beer list is pretty extensive for a hotel restaurant and quite well organized. Presented on its own full page the brews are organized by type with plenty of info to help you with your selection. Don’t come here looking for a large draught selection because you won’t find it. Almost all of the beers are available in bottle only with a very short(six taps?) draught list. On the positive side, there are tons of unique craft beers and they are reasonably priced. I opted for the Laughing Dog Sneaky Pete imperial IPA. At 10% it might have been a tad heavy to start but it got me through the dinner. Here’s the grub rundown: House Made Potato Chips — Nothing suprising here. A large portion, plenty for two people to nosh) of crispy chips served with a duo of dips(Dortmunder aioli and onion). The chips were seasoned and the dips were tasty. Chicken Soup — Watch out if you order this one, it packs a punch. The heat hits you in the back of the throat almost immediately. The soup was filled with avocado, radish slices, jalepenos, diced peppers and tomatoes and came served with a lime slice. The broth was tasty but I thought the level of heat was a bit much. Zucchini Latka — These were probably the biggest disappointment of the meal. More like two traditional pancakes with some zucchini in them they were pretty dry and bland. Even the schmear of sour cream that came with them didn’t help. Pass on these. Ohio-Raised Beef Sirloin — Locally sourced cow, nice. The dish had a nice-sized steak, pre-sliced, laid atop a bed of yellow beans, spinach and fresh gnocchi. I ordered the steak medium and it arrived mid-rare. No surprise. It was well seasoned otherwise and the gnocchi were awesome little pillows of potato goodness. I’m not a huge fan of spinach but it wasn’t bad. The beans were a bit crispy for my taste. Seared Scallops — Two large bay scallops seared golden brown with cubes of pork belly topped with what I believe was kimchi(or some kind of cabbage). My wife really liked the dish but I thought the pork belly was way overcooked verging on tough and dry, the scallops were over salted and the kimchi was just not for me. Amp 150 is definitely a step up when it comes to hotel lobby dining. The menu has a focus on local(yeah, but who doesn’t anymore?) and the beer selection is strong but I just expected more, especially given all of the glowing reviews. There were quite a few business folk in suits seated around us and I left wondering if they were feeling the same way. Normally Unilocalers tend to get it right. This time I think they missed the mark. P.S. Update your online menu for cryin out loud. There were several menu items that were the main reason for our visit and none of them were available.
