Following service on February 28, RED Steakhouse will permanently close its doors at Pinecrest, a location it has occupied for six years. However, the restaurant's downtown location will remain open. The owners have been searching for a new location on Cleveland's east side, specifically along busy Chagrin Boulevard, where the restaurant had previously been located.

Why it matters

The closure of the Pinecrest location marks the end of an era for RED Steakhouse, which had been a fixture in the Cleveland dining scene for many years. The move highlights the challenges that restaurants face in maintaining a presence in a rapidly changing retail landscape, as well as the importance of adapting to changing customer preferences and market conditions.

The details

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.
