XO Prime Steaks - Downtown Cleveland

Excellent appeal and food. Host and Hostess polite. Place clean..

One of the finest steakhouses that I've been to in the United States. Highly underrated when a variety of list for the best steakhouses comes out and they are not on these list, and I've been to my share of steakhouses in the United States. Prime cuts of beef are aged 21 to 28 days and the chefs grill them to perfection. A good variety of sides that are a la carte. If you're not into red meat a very good seafood menu is present also. Service is excellent, as it should be in a high-end steakhouse.

Atmosphere is very nice. Beautiful decor and good vibes from the music. The tables are set very beautifully. Our waiter was pleasant and helpful. The only thing was the main course came out cold and not the way I asked for. I ordered the lamb shanks with slight pink. It came out really red and cold like it had been sitting there for too long before she brought it out. It seems when you go to a high end restaurant and you pay more than $35 for a dish it should come out piping hot and done exactly the way you want it. On a good note, the calamari and the French onion soup was tasty. Bottom line is that there’s better food out there for that price. For 3 of us, myself and my parents, it cost us near $275 (they had a few cocktails), and that’s before tip, for food we weren’t all that impressed with.
