| - I was so excited when we decided to come here for dinner, since it has been ages since my last Red Steakhouse steak. We were trying to avoid downtown traffic, due to the snowstorm that was forecasted for that evening, so we went to the Beachwood location. This was my first time coming to the Beachwood location. Similar in style to the downtown location, modern decor and clean, we were seated right away. Our server was quite helpful in explaining the different grades of meats and the specials for the day. We ordered the porterhouse and the ribeye, with truffled whipped potatoes and Brussels sprouts as our side dishes. The meat was cooked perfectly in terms of what I requested, just enough pink and no blood oozing out. What disappointed me was the amount of seasoning the chef used, on the meat. It was so overly salted that I had gulped down two glasses of water within the hour we spent eating. The truffled whipped potatoes were also heavily salted, so we couldn't even try to balance the overly seasoned meat with the potatoes. Surprisingly the only dish that was tolerable was the Brussels sprouts, if you avoided the pancetta of course! I would've enjoyed the meal a lot more if they had just gone a little more lightly on salt. A little goes a long way! The meat was cooked so well, it's a shame that it was over seasoned!
