    You should stop all clustered services before restarting the clustered service. Why do you want to restart the cluster service?

    providing your group dependencies are set correctly offlining and onlining the group will take all resources up\down as necessary. If you want to offline\restart just the clustered sql server service (no disks, IP, network name, etc), just offline and then online the clustered SQL Server agent and SQL Server services from cluster manager.

    You could simply restart the server that SQL Server is running on... it will fail over the drives and services to the passive node in about 1 minute. OR do with the others have said about going into Cluster Admin and stopping/starting either just SQL Server or the entire group.
