Following service on February 28, RED Steakhouse will permanently close its doors at Pinecrest, a location it has occupied for six years. It is business as usual, however, at RED Steakhouse Downtown (417 Prospect Ave.).

Management stated that as the restaurant approached the end of its lease, they opted to part ways with the Orange Village shopping plaza. The owners have been on the hunt for a new location on Cleveland’s east side, specifically along busy Chagrin Boulevard, a location it had called home for many years. In 2019, the company closed its original Beachwood location in favor of Pinecrest.

“While this chapter is concluding, we are actively pursuing a new Eastside home, with a strong focus on returning to the Chagrin corridor,” says COO Sean Latona. “We expect to share additional details on this new location very soon.”

As the company pursues new opportunities, they want to thank the Pinecrest community for its support over the past six years.

“We extend our deepest gratitude to the loyal guests who have dined with us throughout the years and to the team members who helped create memorable dining experiences night after night,” they add. “The support and patronage of the Pinecrest community have meant more to us than words can express.”
