| - The first thing I want to say is you will NOT find this place by looking for a sign saying Red's Steakhouse. We drove around and around and around looking for it. We finally gave up and went into Moxie just to get food of some sort. Well, turns out they're connected. Literally. The hostess led us through a hallway and then checked us in and seated us at another hostess table. Apparently they're owned by the same group but Beechwood will only allow them one sign and since Moxie was there first, Red doesn't get one.
Food was absolutely delicious. Warm bread and dip, a heavenly Caesar salad, and the best steak I've ever had. My mom and I both had the C.A.B. Prime (certified Angus beef) filet mignon so we could try it with different toppings and really compare. I will say if you order the garlic topping, you better REALLY like garlic. I have to admit I wasn't expecting to get my steak with just a pile of garlic on top of it. Luckily I do and as a bonus I should be protected from vampires through Halloween!
The only complaint I had about service was that I'd heard they had excellent cocktails, but the wine and cocktails are on separate menus. So despite wanting a cocktail I got wine because it wasn't until the server offered the couple at the table next to us a cocktail menu I realized that's why I hadn't seen any. I understand why they're separate since the wine alone was huge, but I think that both should be given by default rather than needing to ask for the cocktail menu.
I should also say that I dinged them on the noise level but they may not deserve that. We happened to be there the night the Indians made the World Series. The cheering when they won the game was actually pretty cool, despite not being a sports person, because it was one of those Cleveland unity moments. But the loud talking and yelling, particularly from one table of men, was less pleasant. But again, restaurant might not deserve that ding since that's an exciting moment and I don't know what it's like there on a regular night.
Also, be aware that if you don't order sides, you will literally get a plate with JUST your entree on it. This wasn't a problem since we were too stuffed to order dessert as it was, but it was just a bit surprising not to even get a garnish or anything.
If this was a different restaurant I would give them 5 stars. But for $250 for 2 people I expect things to be, well, perfect. So yes, I am being VERY nit picky. But a restaurant that strives for perfection deserves to be judged by that criteria and they're just not quiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite there yet.
