Seared

Very cozy ambiance, maybe a little too dark if you haven't been and don't know your way around. Great food and drinks. Kid friendly.

Amazing Food, Drinks, Ambience!! A truly hidden gem! Service was outstanding (Trent was awesome) West Side watermelon Martini, Lollipops, blackened Grouper, Crab Cakes, EVERYTHING was amazing!!

The service was awesome. Way to go Lauren! The ambiance is also very nice. Clean and well kept. The food, for the most was on point. However, the strip steak and house strip are very different (at least tonight). I got the regular menu strip steak and it was 10/10. My wife ordered the house strip, which is marinated. It was one of the toughest, most gristly steaks we've ever had! I just don't get it. If you're going to have a house steak, please don't put out junk like this. We both had chopped salads and they were excellent. I had the baked cauliflower (6/10) and wife had Brussels sprouts. She liked, I did not. Too sweet for me. I hope to come back, but the a la carte prices and gamey strip may delay that.

My family was traveling cross country and our car broke down in front of this establishment. We were starving and hadn't eaten for days. The staff at Seared came out and took us in and fed us. It was spectacular food and ambience. They let us keep our car there and lodged us until sunrise. There's a garage next door that fixed our car and sent us on our way. Just the perfect Midwest touch of class. Can't wait to go back. Just perfect!

Overall great dinner! Steaks were cooked perfectly, the grouper was fresh and service was very good. Will be back. The atmosphere was quiet and very much a classic steakhouse feel.

Enjoyed the swordfish Toledo style , great service, ambience is upscale . Will repeat. It's Friday evening , plenty of parking available this evening

From memory, this has been a few other places over the last few years. Berdoni's, Barrada's, Zacharia's and now Seared. For some reason, it must be a tough location to make it. The building isn't very large, so the tables would have to turn over pretty quickly. They do have sufficient parking and it's on a major road that's adjacent to a very large neighborhood. It's nice inside and the staff was very friendly and appeared to know what they're doing. No issues there. What about the food?Before I get to the edibles. Let's talk about the tipples...I've given up on Martinis. Unless one goes to a place that's been around since 1965, you're not going to get an acceptable one. That said, if you want one with chocolate, raspberry, espresso powder and lots of simple syrup or a peppermint stick swizzle - you know, Nestle's Quick and vodka (uh-oh, going off on a tangent, soon to become a rage, spawned out of frustration...). Argh! I ordered a Manhattan and it was fine. They used their well whiskey, Four Roses, which is a fine whiskey for a well whiskey, and had the proportions right. One of our dining partners did order a martini and deemed it to be fine, but the olives had an off taste. The other 2 ordered iced tea and water. Cocktails are just under $10 bucks each with well booze.Edibles...We skipped the apps. Nothing really jumped out and they all started at $10.00 and went up from there. I had the strip steak. Not my favorite cut, but not $40.00+++. It's the "house steak", so I figured if they deemed it as such, they must be proud of it. After all, it's marinated for 24 hours, so the typically dry, tasteless strip should be pretty good. Not sure what the marinade is/was, but it had no flavor. It was cooked as ordered (mid-rare), but there was zero taste. The plate had some type of sauce on it (it wasn't juice from the cooked steak), with a knob of melted butter mixed in. I couldn't figure out what it was (attempt at a bordelaise or a different wine sauce?). No flavor and not very appetizing. It looked like fake blood.One dining partner had a seafood pasta that looked really nice, another had the chopped salad with steak (for some reason that's an off menu thing, and this is a steak house), and the last dining companion had Caesar salad and a bowl of French Onion soup. The soup had a sour taste to it, but the salads were OK.The bill for the 4 of us, with tip was almost $200.00. Not sure a night out is worth that. I could have made a really nice surf and turf for us and saved $50 or $60 bucks.I really feel for folks that own restaurants. It's an incredibly tough business and this is an incredibly tough town to be in that "biz." Folks in Toledo have an endless supply of choices for dining options and most of us know really good food. We're not going to pay a king's ransom for a good meal and thanks to competitors, expectations are high. Better be on your "A" game out of the gate because 2nd chances rarely happen in this town.

We had a large group of twenty four people in our reservation. Our head waitress did an awesome job taking drink orders. She toor our dinner orders. No one in our group complained about their food when served. Our dishes were looked and tasted just fine and pricing is fair. The two things that I didn't like was eighteen of us got our dinners well six waited until the rest us were almost finished. Timing in the kitchen is important . I like the presentation of their French fries served in a little basket on your plate. What I didn't like was the fries themselves. Fries should be crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. Not a limply noodle. All and all I'm am going to go back and try them with a much smaller group. Give them a try

Came in on a Thursday night before a concert at The Stranahan Theatre. I must say, I hesitated when I saw they were new, opened on November 20th, today is November 30th. First things first, we made a reservation for two in advance and upon our arrival we were informed they didn't have any seating for two except at the bar, so we sat at the bar. We were greeted promptly by the bar tender and ordered a couple of martinis with fresh blue cheese. They were delicious and reasonably priced, even with the grey goose premium up charge!We relaxed and reviewed the menu, the bartender asked if we would like some bread and we did. It was warm and the butter tasted like it had oregano and garlic seasoning in it. We couldn't decide between the grouper or walleye so asked for guidance and when informed by the bartender that she wasn't really a fish lover but she had tried the fried grouper we opted for the blackened walleye. It was delicious, prepared perfectly, not overcooked. We had asparagus as our side and it too was great. We added a side chopped salad and it was underwhelming for the price. Overall we enjoyed our time here and the ambiance was nice. Bar atmosphere, very dark and cozy. Worth a try if you're in the area.

I have eaten there and did take out twice. The ribeye steak is the best steak in the city. The meal comes with one side, but the baked potatoes are huge and tasty. I have to do take out as my friend is home bound. I was disappointed that they would not give us the 4 shrimp special on Tuesdays. It was her birthday. The manager said No and made me call back in 5 minutes to order because not open until 4:00. Otherwise the service was great and take out was packaged excellent. The prices are fairly high, but a great deal on Mondays. I would rather pay a little bit more for a large delicious steak. Ambiance is nice and relaxing.
