Fantastic steak. The topping of black pepper and garlic was delicious. Perfectly cooked rare. The mashed potatoes and broccolini were fine- not bad but nothing to write home about. Nice cocktail list with some unique choices. Excellent service. Donut holes were pretty good at the end - more like beignets with the puffy nature and powdered sugar. read more

Skip this place .... Returned after several years ago because we remember liking it, went for a business dinner of 4 Our waitress was so grumpy not very pleasant she started to warm up about tip time. The ambiance was nice wish the rest was good they do not offer black napkins only white careful in dark clothes. They do have black cocktail napkins. Bread was not good Salad was so basic and thrown on the plate The food was cold "steak" Steaks were so underwhelming not a good cut Chicken parm so bad chicken felt like fake chicken Green beans not flavored, pancetta was not cooked raw We will never go back. read more

We came into Red's for a dinner on 02/27 for my husband's birthday last week- it was our first time getting away from work & kids and just being alone together in over four years. We had reservations and were seated immediately. Our waiter however, seemed absolutely hammered. The first thing he tells us as we are sitting down is about his huge mardi gra beads that he got because he had his dick out...then talks about how someone's shot right in front of him-- now mind you, we clearly dressed for the occasion and are anticipating a romantic atmosphere and high end service for a $400 dollar meal. He continued to say weird and crude things during our meal, whilst leaning on the booths. The waiter told us we would take an hour and go slow for our food order so we could "enjoy it" despite us being ready to order already. Our order was incorrect but was quickly corrected by other staff. Honestly the food was exceptional- best steak I've had in my life! But the service left us both feeling pretty disappointed. I wish I had gone to management immediately because we paid $400 to feel like we were at an Applebee's. I probably would've left and gone elsewhere if it hadn't been for the shock factor. I will say other staff members were attentive and professional but the gentleman who served us was a damper on the whole experience. We had been looking forward to it for months. Not what we were expecting. So my suggestion is if it's for food alone- great choice, but if it's for the atmosphere/service- might want to rethink if it's worth chancing your evening. read more

Last minute reservations when everyone else seemed to be booked solid had us a little worried the food would be subpar. Not only do they have a bone-in filet on the menu but they also have a delicious green beans! Our server was also our bartender but that did not stop her from providing personable service with good timing. We enjoyed the bar atmosphere where our table was located but they also have a quieter dining area that would be nice if you want a more romantic setting. The food was so good, I never got a chance to get pictures. read more

Steak was over seasoned and cooked improperly. You need a 700 degree grill which they apparently don't have or don't know how to use. Very disappointed. read more

After dinner next door, we decided to stop by RED for dessert. When we arrived at 8:30 PM, the host seemed visibly irritated by our party of eight, maybe because they close at 9:00 PM. Normally, I wouldn't push this, but since it was my sister's birthday and the restaurant was literally next door, I explained to her that we were only there for dessert. The host initially told us there was no table available, but I told her that we were fine being split up. She escorted us to a table in the back and seated the rest of our party two booths away. Our server took our order - donuts, crème brûlée, and ice cream, and based on the timestamps from the pictures I took everything arrived at 8:42 PM. However after the desserts were delivered, we didn't see our server again until 9:00 PM. Even then we had to ask for the check which was annoying. The restaurant wasn't overwhelmingly busy so it felt strange to be left unattended for almost 20 minutes. Given my past positive experiences at RED I was quite surprised by the lack of service this time. Based on this visit, I'm not sure I'll be returning to this location. read more

I anchored myself at the bar. The bartender was super friendly and brought me a drink quickly. I ordered the 16oz ribeye rare and a side of tater tots. They brought out bread and olive oil to dip with Romano cheese. Shortly after that, they brought out my steak at the perfect temperature and the tater tots. The tater tots weren't your mom's microwaved tots by a million miles! I would totally recommend this place to any of my family and friends! read more

Amazing spot! We stopped in to see if they had any open seating for a last minute dinner and they were able to accommodate us at the bar. The drink menu was spectacular and the food menu was delightful. We started with an appetizer and then shared a steak. Everything was very flavorful and the food came out piping hot. read more

Had a great meal here. We made a reservation ahead of time and were seated right away when we arrived. We enjoyed the complimentary bread with delicious house made herb infused dipping oil. Their steaks were cooked well, and the diver scallops tasted fresh. We were there for our special occasion and the staff provided us complimentary dessert, which were the delicious donut holes with 3 different dippings sauce. The ambience upscale, dressy, though not pretentious Parking might be a little challenging and was when we went since there was a sports game going on, so there was no chance of finding parking on the street. There are a couple of paid parking lots nearby within only a few minutes walk read more

You can't spell Megan, without "Mega" personality! We sat at the bar, and she was great! So wonderful and pleasant to chat with, plus the absolute best service. We split the 18oz bone-in strip and green beans, it couldn't have been more delicious. Cooked perfectly. And on top of it, she comp'd us a couple counts bc she heard us talking about them, before we even asked! Love this place! ALWAYS a treat! 5 stars! read more

Red The Steakhouse - 18oz Bone-in Strip - Steakhouses Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Very nice steakhouse, I am sure was expensive, but did not pick up tab Great steaks with sauces you can choose. Good appetizers as well . The Duck confit was great Service was good and ambiance of the traditional steak house read more

Another great choice. Good steaks and great service. I look forward to visiting soon.

I decided on this place over many others and the positives first, nice wine selection, broccoli side had a nice charred flavor, steak was a NY Strip when I ordered a ribeye and the garlic was over roasted and dry. They didn't do anything to even try to make it right. It was very disappointing and I didn't even get an itemized bill, visit from the manager or owner and Jonah the server told me it was a ribeye without consulting with management in the kitchen. Shame on you. read more

Food was unbelievable... truffle pierogis were amazing... 3 filet mignon orders all done to perfection. Waiter (Theo) was very attentive and very polite. read more

Had a wonderful experience here Saturday early evening after a guardians vs Yankees game. My husbands filet was perfection- he also ordered mushrooms and the truffle potatoes which I tried and were so good. The seafood pescatore pictured was good! A full lobster tail which was amazing but was lacking other seafood in my opinion - however no complaints, delicious dish. For $80 MP I would say I'd probably order something different next time but it was good. The curator of the wine list was wonderful and recommended us a bottle (pictured) that we loved...I am so glad I have a pic so I can find it again. Thanks for having us! read more

#1 thing I need to share, the service here is TOP NOTCH. They are so welcoming when you enter and not pretentious like some other steakhouses can be. Our waiter was so nice, checking up on us often and making good recommendations without feeling like they were trying to upsell me. Food was delicious as well. We came here for a date night and ordered a few dishes, including oysters, shrimp cocktail, brussels sprouts, risotto, steak, mac n cheese, and mashed potatoes. We definitely over-ordered but they were nice and let us take things home as well, packing them very carefully for us. It seems like tons of people were there celebrating different things and had a fun vibe to it. It's also a good location, in the center of downtown cleveland and near sports venues and other fun bars and restaurants. It's a little pricey but worth it for a special occasion. They also occasionally have specials on gift cards, which can help with the cost. We've gone both to this location and the Pinecrest location and prefer this one! read more

Very torn on how best to rate Red. Was anything necessarily wrong? No...but was anything special to remember? Not really. Red is for sure your typical downtown type of steak house. The service and our waiter did a wonderful job and took great care of us. Their sides and appetizers are also portioned really well, get the mac n cheese side...you will not regret it! However, am I dying to get back there again? Meh. read more

To put a 5 for a rating is a understatement. Our waiter Chris took this to a whole new level and glad we celebrated New Years Eve with him. Our group of six loved his knowledge of all the food on the menu and made great recommendations along the way. While most of us had the Filet Mignon, which were grilled to perfection. The Ceaser Salad and the vegetables were awesome too. Might I add, my favorite Napa Winery; Nickel and Nickel was on the wine list and thats something to see and taste. read more

Went to the rooftop bar for a drink before a concert. It wasnt very crowded, but still took more than 30 minutes to get a drink.

Andrea took our drink order right away and we did not wait long for the drinks. Bread was warm and the dipping oil was fabulous. Spices and cheese with oil - oh so yummy! I asked about the spiciness of the tuna app and she said not too bad. Uh no. Appetizer was way too hot (spicy) and not enjoyable. There was pepper sprinkled all over- my first clue! The Mac and cheese was death row worthy. Would order that again!! The Steak was absolutely perfect. Perfect. Yes I said perfect! Medium rare with blue cheese on top. I will dream of this steak. Broccoli had the right amount of crunch. My friend got a steak compliment of mushrooms and loved it. They forgot our salad and two people apologized, took it off the bill and gave it to me to go. This is going in my regular rotation when in town. But not ordering the tuna again.... read more

DO NOT COME HERE WITH A PARTY OVER 4. We came in for my son's birthday and waited about 40 minutes before we could actually order because our server knew they were getting that gratuity so they didn't have to put effort in. Nicole was very attentive to other tables with smaller parties. We didn't even get bread out until an HOUR after we arrived. She said they just came out of the oven but the bread was COLD and hard. All in all, we were at this place for 2 1/2 hours when we didn't need to be and had other plans. The manager tried making it right but it seemed to just annoyed the waitress further. Finally got our food out close to an hour and a half from arrival. The steak was very salty but cooked correctly, these tater tots they brought out were very mushy and just tasted like onions, they don't belong in a "steakhouse". The whipped potatoes were decent and the fondue was good. If asked to go again, I'd definitely pass. Wasn't even worth a one stop in. This is very overpriced for the service provided. Thank you to the manager for trying to help, that was really the only positive experience. read more

Great steakhouse! We sat in a booth in the bar area and it was cozy and comfortable on a cold winter night. Our waitress was awesome and very knowledgeable about the food and the drinks. The ribeye (bone in) was fabulous. Our friends had scallops and crab cakes and they said both were excellent. A very memorable evening. Will definitely go back next time we are in town. read more

A very nice steakhouse. We are in town for a few days with another couple to visit the R&R HOF and to see Springsteen. The place is just a few steps from our hotel. We got a nice table for four by the window looking out on the street. The bar is set up on the left as you enter with a few bistro tables and the dining area to the right. Ambiance is comfortable but a bit fancy with steel and glass fixtures and a few business types present. It was 645pm on a Tuesday. Our server, a doctoral art student from Buffalo, NY, was attentive and efficient although he did forget to ask if we wanted coffee at the end. A minor infraction. Food was excellent I got the prime filet my wife got scallops at our servers suggestion. We started with a couple of cocktails and had a bottle of Hess cab with the meal. They made very good cocktails. We split a few desserts and had espresso. Value was in line for a high quality steakhouse. ~$200 per couple. We would return. Mark & Nancy. read more

This place was actually really good! The staff was so nice and we got an amazing wedge salad, some starter bread that had a great oil and cheese mixture. The steak was amazing, i got a 8 oz filet mignon that came out right on medium as ordered. We got potatoes au gratin that were yummy and cheesy along with some good brussels'. Paired with a yummy cucumber cocktail and later some good wine. 10/10 will come back again next time I'm in town! read more

Walked in for our 630p reservation to a warm "welcome to Red". We got there about 20 min early and got our table instantly. The waiter was great, attentive and made suggestions. They had a king crab special, $135 for 8 ounces and we decided to try it as an appetizer. All I can say was WOW, it was the best prepared king crab I can remember having at any restaurant, it was perfect. Warm, big pieces of tender meat. So so so so good. We also enjoyed spinach and artichoke dip with bread that resembled garlic bread, really good also. I split the off menu fish special with my son, sea bass with fingerling potatoes and it was pretty good. My daughter got spaghetti and meatballs, weird at a steak and seafood spot but that's what she wants and it was fantastic, I was very surprised. The portion was enormous with extra to take home. My wife enjoyed the house salad (lame, I know lol) overall good experience at a nice restaurant read more

Red The Steakhouse - Crisp Chili Calamari - Steakhouses Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

First I'll start with the good part about our experience at RED. Our server was very congenial and that was about where the good ended. The cons: The booth we were in was FILTHY! (Refer to photos) It was like they hadn't cleaned it in a long time. We had five flies and two gnats at our table. We were able to kill one of each which was nasty. We had made a reservation but ended up being seated in the corner of the bar area instead of the dining room. The bar area was loud and not the romantic/date night vibe we were hoping for when going to a high end steakhouse. The charcuterie board appetizer - we had no clue what was on it and the menu didn't specify The calamari appetizer - the calamari was soft when you bit into. For entrees, my husband and I both got the 8oz filets. He ordered his with the au pouvre topping and his filet came out burnt. It also was fatty on the inside. Both filets were extremely small and were not the size we typically see when ordering an 8 oz filet at steakhouses. I had ordered my entree "surf and turf" style with the crab cakes. This was an extra $20. Two crab cakes came and they were the smallest crab cakes I have ever seen. Also they didn't come with any type of sauce/remoulade which I've never seen before either. It just came with a cut lemon inside a baggie. Mac n cheese side dish - was burnt on the top in places and had a weird seafood taste to it even though it didn't have seafood in it Au gratin potatoes side dish - the potatoes were hard which makes us think they were undercooked Creamed corn - this was noted as a special side dish that they were offering. It tasted like canned corn that had ritz crackers crushed on top of it For over a $300 bill after tip, this entire experience was completely underwhelming and down right disappointing. We will likely not be returning to RED unless someone else wants to go. In the event that happens, we will try and dissuade them into going there and go to somewhere such as the marble room instead. read more

Steak is great here. I tried prime ribeye last time and prime filet mignon yesterday. They are all authentic. However, I'm having serious diarrhea right now and I'm think it's due to the steak tartare I had last night as the appetizer of filet mignon. The steak tartare was probably contaminated. You can prob try steaks here but def avoid steak tartare if you wanna stay healthy. read more

Visiting from out of town and stopped in after the ballgame was rained out. We didn't have reservations so we sat at the bar and had great service and good conversation! The steak was very good and what you would expect for a upscale steakhouse but the real notable thing here was the Mac and cheese which was phenomenal! Was a great meal and the only down side was the mushrooms were cold, they were so busy we opted not to say anything but enjoyed the rest. Would definitely eat here again. read more

Red is Dead! The once glorious steakhouse situated on Prospect Avenue in downtown CLE was a gem for years. Open for both lunch and dinner it rocked it for years delivering consistent service, ambiance and offerings from the bar to the table. Post Covid the place has been on life support and you're better off not experiencing it. Like an 70's rock band still trying to play the same tunes and not being able to carry the range and destroying your memory of what was. Stopped in last fall with a client at 4:40 pm who happened to be downtown and just wanted to grab a drink and catch up so we headed to Red. When we arrived wait staff were readying the patio for the evening clientele went to grab the handle to open the door and it was locked. Ask the staff cleaning tables if we could just come in and grab a drink and we were told they opened at 5:00pm. Pushed the issue and was told the same. Nice work! More recently, we thought we'd give the joint another try. Showed up with a party of 7 at 7:30 pm (cause they're open then), it took 15 minutes before wait staff showed up to take our drink orders. Drum roll...we waited another 20 minutes and were told that the bar was backed an it would be a few more minutes. We were asked if we wanted to place appetizer orders...nothing like rushing when you can't delivery the drinks. I liken this to the opening band you've been waiting to hear can't play and you are stuck in your seats for another hour waiting for the main act to roll out from the greenroom. No thanks. So, we departed for Luca on the Viaduct a short drive away. These folks know how to deliver both drinks and food. They also accommodated us at the last minute and were delighted to have us. Unlike Red, where the manager accosted us on the way out trying to justify their lack of service saying all of party didn't arrive together confusing the wait staff. Nothing like making a bad experience worse by blaming your clientele. Do yourself a favor, if you've not been to Red in a while, remember it how it was and find yourself at another downtown venue like that 70's band. Don't expect the same delivery or range of that song if you happen in for a cocktail. And most importantly, arrive after 5:00 pm (which apparently is the only time that they will serve you) and make sure all of your party is together. read more
