| - The wife and I were looking for a restaurant to spend our 10-year wedding anniversary at. I know my wife likes to eat at nice restaurants, so I decided to pick one that supposedly servers the best steak in Cleveland. We made our reservations and off we went.
Upon arrival, we were quickly seated in the darkly lit, Red The Steakhouse. It was a little hard to find though. It's in a business district and apparently is the other half of Moxie The Restaurant. If you're driving here, look for a Moxie sign, not a Red sign. The door is hidden, good luck finding it. I found it right away, but it doesn't look like an entrance.
We started off with tap water and a bottle of Cabernet. Then we ordered appetizers - onion soup for the wife and the House Red salad for me. My wife said the onion soup was 'over the top'. She liked it. My House salad was absolutely delicious. It had baby greens, toasted pecans, goat cheese and a subtle, but delicious dressing. It was awesome!
Then the wine arrived and it was a decent bottle of Cabernet. I don't remember the name of it, but it was the 1st one in the Cabernet section and the hostess recommended it.
Then our bread arrived. The bread was awesome. It was too hot to eat at first, but after it cooled down, it had a soft center and a crunchy crust - perfection. The olive oil and herbs to dip it in were also very tasty. So far, this was turning out to be a very good meal.
We both ordered the 14 oz New York Strip (medium). I also ordered sauteed mushrooms and green beans as my sides. My wife ordered a baked potato as her side. Upon arrival, the steaks look awesome, but it was kind of dark in the place, so it was hard to tell if it was cooked right. I believe it was based on the taste and texture. The steaks were delicious. They were seasoned fairly heavily with something that tasted in the neighborhood of Canadian (Montreal) steak seasoning. It was a really good steak. The green beans were seasoned and tasted awesome. My mushrooms were overly seasoned, but still tasted good.
Wife said that baked potato 'was just a potato'.
The ambience was dark and romantic. There was a large wine cellar and a private bar area. The service was lacking as my water glass was empty for a while and the waiter seemed to disappear at times. For the price of this restaurant, I expected top notch service.
With tip and drinks, the bill came to $250. We didn't think it was worth the price, but the food was good. It didn't blow our minds as we expected. If we pay that much for dinner, it had better be a life changing experience. Ok, not really, but it we'll try another place next time.
