Strip has been my list for a few years now. I used to work at a steak and seafood house in the medina/Brunswick area and the food for the price was great. So I'm always on the hunt to find a great steakhouse closer to Lakewood that isn't priced insanely.
Now strip has $$$ as the price indicator which is true compared to other restaurants but if you are looking right at steakhouses I believe the price is more of a $$. Yes the sides are a la carte but the pricing for a steak is very reasonable. They also have a dinner for two which entails: two 6oz filets, two house salads or soup of the days, two sides and a dessert for $88. That's a great deal. We are going to try that next time.
We sat at the bar as we went on a whim and didn't make a reservation. We waited about 10mins until 2 bar seats opened up and we were served and greeted immediately. Holly the bar manager answered any questions we had as it was our first time. The seats we had at the bar allowed us to watch the cooks do their thing which was fun to watch. The decor was rustic with some modern twists.
The food is absolutely delicious. We started off with the mussels that had a rosemary white wine base and cooked with sausage. I'm not a Fan of mussels but my boyfriend loved them, I loved the base to dip the bread. Next they brought out pretzel bread with butter. Omg amazing. My boyfriend ordered the boilermaker med rare- it came out perfectly crisp on top with the most perfect warm red center. The flavors were to die for. I ordered the 6oz filet prepared med which was flavored and cooked perfectly. We ordered a side of the pierogis as well. They were topped with sour cream and caramelized onions. They were out of this world.
We can't wait to try Strip again!
