If you're looking for a place to celebrate something special, I really can't think of a better place to go in Cleveland than Red the Steakhouse.
Beware: it can be difficult to find. It's tucked away behind Moxie in some shrubbery. Once you find it though, be prepared for the best meal I think you can find in Cleveland.
We celebrated my husbands birthday here this weekend. We started with some cocktails. The cucumber martini is well worth the money and really great. (You probably only need one, FYI). Then we moved onto dinner. We opted to forgo an appetizer. I had the house salad, hubs had the Caesar. For the main course... I had the 8 oz filet mignon. Holy perfection. I haven't had a better steak in cleveland. Or anywhere except maybe Chicago. For sides we had whipped truffle potatoes and some brussel sprouts.
They gave us complementary donut holes with dipping sauce, which was one of the best parts of the meal. The atmosphere is chic and you really feel like you're at a top notch restaurant in NYC when you're here. I will be looking for my next reason to celebrate at Red!
