RED the Steakhouse Pinecrest

Took hubby there for his birthday. Food was excellent. To my surprise had beignets which I typically only buy in New Orleans, they were delicious. I will revisit

The food was delicious, now you are going to break the bank but so worth it. Chris, he was an excellent server and very informative on the menu and wines, and he brought a special decorative birthday dessert for me to share with hubby. Tonight was definitely fun and exciting. Thank you, Chris.

We've been to places like Ruth Chris and Hyde Park, and i will say that Red has by far had the best steak. I will even say best food in general when it comes to dining.
We went here for our 2nd anniversary, and I honestly have zero complaints.
To start, I got the rum punch! If you are a fruity drink kind of person, this is for you. I tasted mostly grapefruit, which I like.
The bread came out next, which was hot and fresh from the oven and a garlic breadcrumb oil based side to dip it in. This was a fantastic start as we waited for our food!
Appetizer, we got the crab cakes! I was skeptical about a tomato base sauce, but it was more sweet with a light tang. Putting the arugula, pickled pepper, and sauce on top and eating it all together with the crab cake was just divine. It's really a good pairing.
Main dish, I wanted the filet mignon, but the gnocchi also tickled my fancy, so yes, I ordered TWO entrees for myself. The steak was 100% the best steak I've ever had from any restaurant. I got it medium while him rare, and they were both cooked to perfection with a melt in your mouth consistency. We ordered no sauce because our 1st time at a new place we want JUST the steak flavor, and I'm glad we did it like that. Although, the sauces looked tempting.
Gnocchi: I will DREAM about this. The duck was tender and the sauce had a buttery lemon pesto taste. I melted in my seat when eating this. I've had duck once before, and it tasted gamey which turned me off, but this dish made me a fan of duck again. The dish was just prepared so well.
We were going to order dessert, but they came out with an anniversary dessert of 4 beignets with caramel, raspberry, and chocolate dipping sauces. The beignets were so warm and pillow soft inside with that slight crunch on the outside. It's just....so delicious.
From start to finish, I was impressed. Went on a Saturday summer night at 7pm. Parking in pinecrest is horrible, but they do have a valet. It was nice enough for us to park and walk 10 minutes though. Reserve online for an easy process getting seated! They do have rooftop dining outside or on the ground outside as well.
1 drink, 1 appetizer, 2 8oz filet, 1 gnocchi entree, 1 side truffle whipped potatoes cost us $222 without tip! WORTH EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR!
Will go back!

We had our 13 year anniversary here yesterday and the service and the food were amazing. I got the New York strip prime and my wife got the 8oz Filet. Sides were Mac & cheese and scalloped potatoes. All delicious, we’ll be back.

Went for my birthday and had a great experience and even better food! The calamari appetizer was delicious, Strip Steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned to perfection. The scallops were juicy and a little crispy which I love! Joe gave us great service and my vanilla mule was perfect :)

Had the pleasure of dining at Red Steakhouse this past weekend in Orange, with my stepdad and sisters. We enjoyed dinner on the roof top and it was such an amazing vibe (We loved it)! Megan was our server/bartender and she was a delight as well as the food and drinks! I made up my own margarita with mango and passion fruit purée and let’s just say I’ll definitely be BACK!

My husband and I had a fantastic experience at Red tonight! My husband started with the mussels and enjoyed them, and I had the steak tartare, which was amazing. For entrees, my husband got a NY Strip and I had the ribeye, and we share roasted mushrooms and galette. Everything was incredible! For dessert, we had the tres leches cake and s’mores pot de crème, both of which were delicious. Everything, and I mean every single thing, we ate was out of this world. Our server, Mark, was warm and welcoming. He answered all of our questions and was very patient. We will definitely be coming back in the future!

This isn’t my first time at RED, and obviously won’t be the last. I’m surprised I haven’t reviewed it yet. Well, here we go!! The food was phenomenal. We started with the tots and the shrimp scampi (not pictured). My mom and I both ordered the Prime CAB New York strip. The meat was cooked to perfection. I asked for medium and got a medium. The marbling in the steak was on point. The taste is delicious. Our server was very attentive, and she brought us these fried donuts when she found out it was my mom’s birthday. Thank you RED for another wonderful experience.

Loved the atmosphere, the food was SPECTACULAR! We had the cocktail shrimp and calamari for appetizers. Our steaks were cooked perfectly, and the mushrooms and poutine roasted potatoes were delicious! Maybe a little too much rosemary in the potatoes, but that's to taste.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent atmosphere. Just excellent. My son and I had NY strip steaks and they were 14oz of amazing. The Caesar salad, green beans, macaroni and cheese, and mashed potatoes were excellent compliments. If you can go here for dinner, even if it is only once, I highly recommend that you do!

Service was great, waiter was attentive and friendly, food was amazing (ordered double chicken breast, tots, asparagus, mac n cheese, and sampled the steaks of those I was with). Will recommend this restaurant to others 👍🏽

It's been awhile, but consistency is clearly the standard. Ryan was awesome, so were the stuffed peppers and the oysters. Very nice wine selection. EXCELLENT experience from the greeting at the door, to the service, to the food to the atmosphere.

Red was absolutely amazing. We went for my boyfriend's 30th and the food was amazing. Our server Chris C. Was probably the best server I've ever had at any restaurant. He was super informative and made lots of suggestions that were helpful. My boyfriend usually orders steak rare and Chris said to order it medium rare because the fat will have better rendering and we were shocked how much better the taste and flavor was. Top notch food and service. Highly recommend.

One of the best steakhouses in Cleveland. Top notch service and consistently good steaks. Have visited multiple times and never had less then fantastic food and service. In addition, the dessert menu is outstanding as both the donuts and molten lava cake is great. For special occasions or entertaining clinets there are few places better.

The steak is fantastic. The ribeye and strip were excellent. Sides are good and generous portions for 2. The service is great! Best steak in Cleveland (so far).

Amazing food and ambiance. Staff fun and friendly. Amazing prime filet and au gratin potatoes. Ryan, the bartender, is awesome.

The filet was excellent, among the best I’ve had (photographed, medium). The sides are sharable, good for 2 men. I recommend the macaroni and cheese, which may be the best I’ve ever had. Dinners are served with warm bread and oil.

The service and atmosphere were good for any normal restaurant, but not quite up to the level this price point usually coincides with. It leans more casual than classy.

I still recommend trying RED and would return. We paid about $152+tip (2023) for a filet, strip, mac and cheese side, 1 drink, 1 pop and were satisfied with our experience.

TL:DR - Upscale (Expensive), but SOOO WORTH IT.

Full Review - As a disclaimer, this was probably my first experience in the world of "fine dining." I'm a "pleb" and not ashamed to admit it. But I have to say that this was a classic example of "you get what you pay for." The service was top notch. And our waiter wasn't the only one making sure we were attended to, not saying that he did anything less than a fantastic job. I know in my restaurant reviews, I tend to talk about my experience with the service an establishment offers. And this place was 6 out of 5 stars in that department.

But the food was also out of this world. My guest and I ordered a Charcuterie Board as an appetizer, and the cuts of meat, the cheeses, and the concord grapes were out of this world. We ordered the brussel sprouts, macaroni and cheese, risotto, a steak, and a salmon dish. And there wasn't a bad choice in any of that. The salmon dish was amazing. And the side portions are pretty big to share with 3 people or so. I'm not normally hyped over risotto... but RED's was pretty good.

When they mentioned that their desert specialty was "Donuts", I was intrigued and ordered it. I was not disappointment, as they were probably the best donut (holes) you're ever going to eat.

All in all, this place is well worth it.

Now... it IS pricey. But that's the thing: if you want fantastic service with a wait staff that is highly motivated to create customer satisfaction, top quality chefs pumping out banger dishes, that's comes at a premium price. Would I take this ride again? ... Yes. Yes I would.

First time visit to this Red location and it did not disappoint!! Having been to Red many times I was hoping for the best and they came though. We had our anniversary dinner here and everything was top notch. The service and food are amazing and it has a great ambiance. We will be back for sure!!

High end dining place. Outstanding staff . Good food
