RED the Steakhouse Sizzles Back to Eton Chagrin with a Fresh, Approachable Vibe

RED the Steakhouse opens August 13 at Eton Chagrin in Woodmere, with a bold new look, tempting bar menu, and a more approachable vibe.

Cleveland’s carnivores, clear your calendars: RED the Steakhouse is officially back on the east side, slinging prime cuts and high-roller Martinis at its new Eton Chagrin Boulevard location in Woodmere. The iconic steakhouse returns August 13, serving up luxe, updated digs and crowd-pleasing flavors to a corridor that frankly missed that classic RED swagger.

A Homecoming for Cleveland Steak Royalty

After quietly closing its Pinecrest location, RED’s team has been plotting their return to the Chagrin corridor, staking out a prime address between I-271 and Chagrin Falls. Owner Gregg Levy says, “We’re exactly where we want to be.” And it shows: this isn’t just a move, it’s a homecoming, and local steak lovers are ready to roll out the red carpet (and maybe their stretchy pants).

From Heritage to Head-Turner: Inside the Glow-Up

The space at Eton isn’t just new—it’s newly transformed. After a short stint as Heritage Steak & Whiskey, the restaurant’s bones got a facelift courtesy of Petkovic and Richardson Design, setting the stage for RED’s sophisticated-yet-inviting personality. The color palette is all browns and reds now (very on brand), plus fresh paint, posh art from local Contessa Gallery, sleek lighting, and plush new furniture.

In the lounge:

Flexible high-top tables replaced communal ones
Cozy banquettes now sit where soft seating lounged
Patio furniture? All shiny and new

Big Steaks, Small Plates—Menu Highlights to Drool Over

Let’s talk food. RED the Steakhouse’s main menu is anchored by a dozen crave-worthy steaks, ranging from a petite 8-ounce filet mignon to the legendary 35-ounce prime tomahawk—all cooked on RED’s signature high-heat broilers.

Swing by the bar for an all-night bar menu stacked with crowd-pleasers, like:

Lobster rolls
Steak sliders
Fried chicken sandwiches
Pastrami melts

Happy hour is officially back, and rumor has it, there’s a martini with your name on it.

The Power Lunch (Finally) Returns

Levy is bringing back the kind of power lunch Chagrin Boulevard hasn’t seen since “Moxie” was king. While lunch isn’t live yet, expect it in the next few weeks—a comeback those who enjoy a midday Manhattan or a serious club sandwich will celebrate. RED is aiming to be the spot for business deals, friend catch-ups, and living your Don Draper fantasy (ethics optional).

How and When to Experience RED at Eton

Mark your calendars for Thursday, August 13—that’s when doors officially swing open for dinner, drinks, and some cozy neighborhood glitz. You'll find it at 28869 Chagrin Blvd.

Pro tips:

Reservations are strongly encouraged (this place books up fast)
Patio seating is primo, especially as summer winds down
Keep eyes peeled for that upcoming lunch menu

Why This Matters for Cleveland’s Food Scene

RED has always set the standard for steakhouse luxury in Northeast Ohio. This Eton chapter makes it a more accessible, energetic hangout for both special occasions and a mid-week dinner upgrade. A bolder, friendlier RED at Eton Chagrin means Woodmere just got way tastier.

Craving a celebratory steak or just love a sexy new lounge? RED’s return is your cue to bring your appetite. Steak night never looked so good.
