My son loved the steak. I had some type of pasta with sausage. For the price of the pasta I would have expected more sausage in it. I was excited for all the non-steak options. Usually when we visit steak places there’s only one dish for me to choose. Donut dessert was yum! Service was excellent!

Fantastic, fantastic, fantasticcc!!!! We got the ribeye and it was crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. Our friend got the prime ribeye and it was soooo much more tender. Loved the food, the sides (especially truffle whipped potatoes), and the desserts. The service was fantastic & they continuously made sure we were satisfied. Must try!

In town for a weekend away. Went to the Guardians game and then were quickly on the hunt for dinner. We perused East 4th street and were met with a lot of long wait times for a table. It was a Saturday might at 7:30 pm so this didn’t necessarily come as a surprise. What did come as a surprise was walking into Red and being seated, on the rooftop no less, right away. We were greeted by our server Cassandra who was able to provide cocktail and appetizer recommendations. These were the first of her recommendations that she did her best impersonation of Jose Ramírez and knocked them out of the park 😉 I got an old fashioned and my wife got a strawberry 75. Next came the whipped ricotta with olive oil and dill, and man was it good. Served with grilled bread for dipping, we would have ordered another round if it weren’t for our entrees that were on their way. My wife got the filet, at the recommendation of Cassandra, and loved every bite of it. I had a craving for salmon so that’s what I ordered. Before ordering, I asked Cassandra her opinion of the dish and she candidly shared it was good but not something that would blow you away. She was right, again. I enjoyed the salmon but for a future trip to Red I would consider an alternative entree. We ordered the mac and cheese as a side and were not disappointed. I’ll give you one guess if Cassandra recommended it…yeah, she did. She knows the menu inside and out. No dessert for us as we were stuffed. Can’t recommend Red, enough. Great view from the rooftop, knowledgeable server, and we weren’t rush. Truly a great meal and experience at Red to end the night.

Red is a spectacular restaurant, and this location in particular. The food is quite expensive, but it’s 100% worth the cost. The servers are kind, and they don’t rush you one bit. However if you’d like to get a fancy dinner but need to be in and out they can do that too. Smaller menu items rotate in and out providing for a unique experience each visit. This is a restaurant where you don’t want to skip the dessert!

First let me say, we accidentally booked a reservation at a different location. However, the hostess was polite and friendly and fit us in anyway. The server Beau was polite and friendly when explaining the specials and everything. The food was amazing the steak paired with the peppercorn demi-glaze was perfect. Beau came to our table a couple times to check in, each time with a smile. After dinner they brought my wife some Beingets with 3 dipping sauces, which totally suprised us. Highly recommend coming here at least once when in Cleveland.

Best steak and lamb we have ever had. I've traveled around the country and have been at some of the top steak restaurants in Vegas, so this was a gem to discover. The complimentary birthday donut balls were a surprise & delicious. The service was great. No complaints. Highly recommend this place.

Very good bar and restaurant. The ambience is chic and appealing. The staff are extremely friendly and courteous. The food is varied and of high quality. There is also a good selection of wine and beer. We felt very comfortable. Highly recommended.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

#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!

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!

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.

This meal was so delicious! My ribeye was cooked to perfection, I loved the Demi glacé on the side, and our sides were great. The restaurant wasn't too loud and comfortably crowded and we had no service issues. The olive oil for dipping bread was sooo good - I'll be trying that at home.

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.

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.

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

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....

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.

You couldn't ask for better service and quality of steak. We were looking for a great steak in Cleveland, and Red's delivered. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great steak dinner.

Sensational all the way around! Food, service, cleanliness all spot on. I got the filet mignon cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. This filet is now in the conversation for the best I've ever had. If you are going to Cleveland this is a must try.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The service was horrible our waitress never introduced herself to us, she never held a conversation with our party at all. She was very short with us just horrible ,but she did manage to go to the table and hold a full conversation with the Caucasian people hint were not. Then steak was bland not flavor on 3 of the 5 steaks, and it was net flying around our food at the table. The waitress also watched us when the bill came as if we wasn't going to pay. Horrible I could have spent 500 dollar anywhere else will never return! The atmosphere was basic nothing upscale about it when the dress code is shorts and t-shirts.

Unbelievable, This restaurant flip floped me and my friends steak, they bring me a rare steak when I asked for medium well, and gave my friend the medium well steak when they asked for medium rare! They brought back the same steak to me a total of 3 different times and having cross contamination. The manager told me I was too nice and the manager and server both giving me different answers, I told the manager I will wait 20 minutes for a new steak and I'm thinking I'm waiting 20 minutes for a new steak (told by manager), and they box my same steak they took away 2 other times and it had been back in the kitchen that entire time!!, They would not make me a new steak! I told them it wasn't even about the money because thats what they kept implying, I just wanted what I asked for, these steaks are so expensive give me what I want! The Manger just said he would put in a new steak and ask me what I wanted the outcome to be! THEY did not even care, and boxed the same steak from the beginning, I was trying to be patient and understanding because I was not letting them ruin my night, but things just kept getting worse and worse, also the server David! Ignored me 3 times and I tapped his back, a lady at a table next to us literally told him i was calling for him and he kept my friends change after gruity all 4 of us! We all will never be back to this location!

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!

The whipped truffled mashed potatoes are AMAZING. I could just order the potatoes and call it a dinner. Crab cakes had great flavor and not too much filler. The donuts at the end of dinner were the perfect ending with great dipping choices. My favorite was the raspberry followed by the caramel. One of my favorites in Cleveland!

I've been to Red two times for Happy Hour. You MUST get the calamari! That is my favourite from the Happy Hour menu. The calamari is perfectly crispy and the portion is extremely generous. The flavour and sauce on just top the whole dish off completely. I would even consider coming here by myself just to have an order of the calamari. I got the chance to try three of the drinks from the Happy Hour menu. The cocktails were tasty and strong (awesome value if you like alcohol--who doesn't?) At around $6 per drink, that's a good price considering the pricing of Red's regular menu. Please keep in mind that you can only order from the Happy Hour menu if you're sitting at the bar! It gets quite busy, so if you're planning on coming with a large group, come early so that you can grab a row of the bar seats. I wouldn't recommend Red for Happy Hour if you're looking to come with a group and want to talk to everyone. You'll basically have to walk along it bar since everyone is mostly sitting in a row.

Disclaimer before review: this is a solid 4 star review as we all enjoyed our steaks and chicken. But the below review is more informational on cost and comparisons to other nearby "steak restaurants". You know going in this is going to be an expensive meal as this is comparable to Ruth Chris or Morton's. Steaks are $40-65 each and sides are additional at $10-15 each. We shared the ribeyes and the chicken and ordered 2 sides; the truffled mashed potatoes and the loaded baked potato gnocchi. The steaks were cooked correctly but a bit over seasoned, (the pepper was grainy and crunchy) and the gnocchi was dry. Everything tasted good, but for the money we can take our family to other less expensive restaurants and have excellent steaks for much less. You come to Red for a nice evening out or to take business contacts to as it is an upscale location. Parking is not nearby, but they do offer valet.

I realize this is a steakhouse and as someone who doesn't eat steak I was bound to be disappointed. However, the food fell so far from expectations. My lobster risotto was just ok, the sides of mushroom and potatoes were fine, and the dessert was subpar. The calamari appetizer was probably the best part, and I was told the steak was good.

For the appetizers, we ordered the calamari and oysters. The oysters were super fresh but I would love to have some spices to it. The breading for the calamari was thin and excellent but the calamari was salty. I don't think the Mayo helped the salty taste at all. I got the ribeye steak with mushroom conserva. It cooked beautiful. However, the mushroom taste was very subtle and did not add much flavor to the taste which was a bit disappointing. Their bread was the bomb. I loved the bread so much. Moreover, their fresh donuts dessert was awesome. You could dip it with 3 different sauces: chocolate, raspberry and caramel. Overall, it was pretty nice experience but I personally don't think it is the best steakhouse in Cleveland.

While I do think the food was slightly overpriced compared to a few other steakhouses, the food was really good. The steak was cooked perfectly, along with all great tasting sides. The doughnuts for dessert are a must with the berry sauce!

PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT GO ! Cold, Fatty Steaks and poor service. It was our sons birthday. We made reservations 9 days in advance. Let them know it was our sons 15th birthday. They said nothing. I read the reviews. They are mixed. We thought since the most recent reviews in the last month were pretty good we would go. The first part of our meal was good. Food, Drinks, The steaks came out less then warm. My sons Medium Rare steak came out Very Rare. It wasn't pink it was RAW RED almost cold. They stuck it back on the grill. My steak had so much fat it was INSANE. Half the steak! The waitress sent over the management and he was BEYOND RUDE. He was defensive, blaming, and INSULTING! He was arrogant and said it was normal to have a line of fat around the steak. My husband said "Half this steak is fat.this is 1/2 the steak. He just said " Well, Mabey next time you should try a different steak and walked away. Next time ?? I assure you this steak was 40 % FAT. We're in our 50s only fine dine and spent 12 years in Texas.. We know steak.. The waitress from that point on provided NO SERVICE. She actually tossed the check folder on the table. I asked the waitress, before we pay the check too see the manager again. He was very annoyed when he returned. "If I took it off your bill would THAT make you happy?" $300 meal ? Do not bother...please. I should have taken the other reviews seriously they NEVER acknowledged my sons birthday. Period. Cold Steak ! Poor ARROGANT Management Fatty cold undercooked steak. They just don't give a shit. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME !

Great steakhouse. Service was top notch - super attentive and friendly. The prime ribeye was so good, easily one of the best steaks I've ever had. Cooked perfectly, tender, and full of flavor. Cool vibe inside too. Nice, but not pretentious. Great location, too, right on East 4th. Highly recommend this spot.

Let me just say. This place from walking in to the front door to all the way getting seated at your table. The whole staff from hostess/waitress/bus person. Everyone was so nice and friendly. A nice romantic/special setting. Our dinner was fillet mignon and scalloped potato. The best I've had. Definitely recommend. Dessert was great as well! Thank you for making our night special this evening

TOP TIER RED MEAT SELECTION ... dry aged to perfection on every cut ... outstanding seafood parring as well ... date for two ... with wine ::: estimated around 150-225 depending on what's ordered ... is it worth ... " stone cold Steve Austin HELL YEA " ... disregard my comment because this is a very classy upscale place

Very Elegant atmosphere and well the food does not stay behind. They start you off with these soft rolls that comes with EVOO/garlic and herbs. My hubby and I both enjoyed their filet, cooked medium with 3 a la carte sides. We had smashed fingerlings, Brussel sprouts and scalloped potatoes. All of it was very well seasoned and yummy! The only thing I would say is that our waiter seemed new and didn't know much on menu/wine. Overall, our date night was great!!

The arena area was crowded because of a concert, so popped in because it was suggested as the top steakhouse in the area. The restarant was clearing out as the concert was about to start so I had seating options but since I was solo, I took a seat at the bar. I was greeted quickly and served a well-made old fashioned. I placed my order and waited for a long time. The bartender was aware of the long wait and kept coming over to tell me the food was on its way. Not sure of the wait because i didnt time it but even the folks on eaither side of me, who arrived after me, were served appetizers and received their main coure befoer I did. Not sure why but when I received my food, it was solid but not worth the wait. I had a ribeye, au gratin potatoes and brussel sprouts and each were fine but nothing special, especially given things were served at market steakhouse prices. A good meal but if im in town again probably wouldnt return.

Went with a friend on a weekend evening. We were able to get seated inside but right where the wall opens up so it was the best of being outside but protected from drizzle. Very nice looking restaurant. Upscale. Location: Excellent. - Easy to get to and you can't ask for better people watching. Was a hoot. Service: Excellent. Food: Caesar salad - typical. Scalloped potatoes. Oh sorry "Potatoes au gratin' - most amazing potatoes i've ever had. Get them. It's worth the carbs. We both had ribeyes. They were solid. Quite large. Drinks: Well made. Very much enjoyed them. Price: High Recommend? Yes. I'd try other places before I go back there. Just because of the price to awesome ratio was higher than i like.

The bread was awful. So hard. No one likes hard bread. Especially me. Everyone was talking about it. The room sucked too. I felt like I was at a shitty banquet hall for a baby shower. David our server was exemplary.
