When Final Cut first opened, it justified its prices with genuinely excellent food. A decade later, what you get is closer to mid-level hotel plating than fine dining. If the prices were in line with other steakhouses in town, I'd be more forgiving -- but at this level, the execution feels like an insult to anyone expecting an elevated night out. The service, to its credit, is outstanding. Friendly, professional, genuinely welcoming. Though you get the sense the staff doesn't really care about the food either. With places like the Chop House, Rose & Thistle, and Mancy's all within reach, it's hard to imagine a reason to return. Then again, Final Cut isn't really built for the local food scene -- it's built to fleece high rollers at the casino, and on that front, mission accomplished. Also worth noting: a strangely dated interior, terrible views, and bathrooms with a co-ed waiting area and stalls with broken locks. Just an odd place all around. read more

Amazing steak, sides, and drinks! Pricey but it's all worth it! This place is located in the center of the casino (easiest way to get in here is parking in the parking garage). We met another couple here to get dinner. It looked like you could walk up and get a table but we had made a reservation just in case. The dining room is really nice and classy. Attire didn't seem to matter but we were in business casual. We had lobster bisque to start (the BEST we've ever had). It was so creamy and full of lobster! Then got some sides and steaks! The steaks were cooked perfectly and our sides (the risotto and brussel sprouts were incredibly delicious! The scallop add on was also perfect! Our server Kelvin ran through the whole menu and definitely upselled some of their tastiest items! The drinks we had were the perfect amount of strong too. It was a pretty pricey meal but totally worth the drive and experience! read more

The focaccia roll was good. I wasn't a fan of the herbed cream cheese. The lobster bisque was poured tableside and was delicious. It was room temperature though and not warm. The filet was delicious and cooked perfectly. The garlic mashed potatoes were smooth and amazing. It was an old school style steakhouse and the staff were friendly! read more

The last time we were there the service and food was horrible. My wife ordered a lobster tail, and it looked more like a dried out crayfish. She ask for drawn butter and was advised they did not serve it. My brother-in-law's draft beer came out completely flat. When he advised the waitress, she stated, "I'll let them know". She never offered to replace it, and on top of that left it on the bill. read more

We were very much surprised at how well our dinner turned out at this place. Not only that the service was top notch but also, food was perfect and we really enjoyed it! This place is located inside Hollywood Casino in Toledo, OH. At first glance, it seems like it's such a quiet and empty steakhouse. I didn't see much people waiting outside from the few times I've been. We also had a reservation and so we were seated right away. But once we're seated inside, the vibe is very elegant and sophisticated. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I totally forgot his name but he definitely went above and beyond explaining everything to us. He took his time and we didn't feel rushed at all. It was our anniversary dinner so we kinda went all out. We ordered a tomahawk ribeye, ribeye, seared scallops and a bunch of sides to share. Everything was prepared perfectly. Our food also came at a very timely manner. Both cut of steaks were seasoned well and were very delicious. I liked the Tomahawk ribeye better tho. There's just something about it that makes it stand out more. The sides were also good except for their mashed potato which I think lacked salt. But we enjoyed everything else. Price point here is pretty reasonable imo, it's actually cheaper than the other steakhouses that I've been to so that's always a plus for me. We really enjoyed our dinner here. Looking forward in dining here again next time we're in town! read more

This establishment was repulsive and unclean. The cuisine was of poor quality, the silverware was unwashed, and the carpet appeared unsanitary. The windows seemed to have never been subjected to cleaning. read more

A bit on the expensive side but worth every penny. Service is superb and the food is the best you'll find in any exclusive restaurant.

Upon winning a jackpot, my fiancé received a $200 voucher to Final Cut, and we were appreciative. Still, the $200 voucher had limited purchasing power for the two of us. I had the filet mignon, and my fiancé opted for the tomahawk steak; both were delectable. However, the cost of any additional items was not included. We enjoyed our steak and sipped our Coke. Paid a gratuity. Overpriced in my view. read more

I ordered the Taco Salad with beef and the beef looked like ground black pepper sprinkled on. First warning was the "Under new management" sign out front. Won't be returning. Also, the interior is so small, whenever the front door opens you get a cold breeze. They also have space heaters setup. read more

My sister clued me in on the fact that Hollywood Casino's has cleaned up it's act and gotten some decent restaurants. Since it's the place i lose money( not like Motor City), eating meh food has me hightailing it to Rudy's or one of the Vaquero's in the area after i check my coin purse to see if i can eat. I'm not spending more than i already have, dammit, on property. My sister, however, and her significant other, come here for fun and giggles. Weather good or bad, they will treat themselves to a date night here! They love this place! According to them, the food's pretty good and the drinks aren't watered down! Gamble if you must, but the food is banging! read more

We have a group that gets together monthly for dinner and we usually go to a nicer local restaurant for Christmas. This year we chose Final Cut for our holiday outing. Sadly, it was a disappointment. The service was slow and disjointed. It took half our group almost an hour to get drinks. Our food was just OK. A few of our group said their steaks were extremely salty and they couldn't even finish them. For the price you pay there, it should be exceptional service and food. Unfortunately, it wasn't. read more

A wonderful meal with wonderful service (Kerstin)! Both the manager (Tricia) and assistant manager (Richie) greeted and checked on us to make sure everything was good and if we needed anything. Will continue to dine here and refer/bring my friends and family with me. Thank you for a wonderful meal and experience! read more

This was our first experience at this restaurant and it was incredible. We had the charcuterie for an appetizer and it was fantastic and fun to eat. My husband had the 12 oz filet and I had the 5 oz American Wagyu. Both steaks were great in flavor, texture and temperature. He had the creme brûlée for dessert and I had some coffee. The service was very good and not rushed. Gave us ample time to eat each course. I believe our waitress' name was Kate or Katie and she was very attentive and did a great job. She helped us choose an appropriate wine and was mindful of my husband's food allergy. We will absolutely return when we are back in Toledo! read more

If you want a steak in Toledo this is THE place. As good as a steak place you will find nationwide; you know the others. This is a quality, top notch, high end steak joint. I miss the days you had to have a collar to be served. They are full service. Starting with an amuse bouche and ending with a delectable morsel of gold leaf fudge they have you covered from start to finish. The tomahawk ribeye is easily the most delicious steak I have ever enjoyed. Every side has been so satisfying; particularly love the risotto is seasonal but always perfect, love the asparagus and the brandy mushrooms are to die for. Oh and the bread; crispy parmesano lavash with focaccia mmm. The chop salad so full of flavor. My suggestion, get one of everything you can and split it with someone. Expect time to luxuriate. Things do not come quickly. Drinks are slow. I would set aside at least two hours but you will be satisfied. This place is the BEST read more

Kennedy was the best waitress and everything was absolutely amazing!!! My new favorite spot in the 419.

Definitely an interesting place. The ambience is nice. They have a waygu selection, extremely tender but honestly my girlfriends filet was better to me personally. When we arrive, the hostess asked if we had a reservation, but the location was empty. So that made us laugh but overall a nice place read more

The filet was impeccable! Ambiance was peaceful and Chef Garza cooked our meal to perfection! We highly recommend!

Exceptional restaurant, the absolute best steak around. The chicken dish is made with magic, not sure how a piece of chicken can melt in your mouth, well this does. Libations are top notch and if you want great service, this is the place. Our personal favorite server is Cierra, she is fantastic. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this restaurant! Worth the drive to Toledo. read more

Everything went well. A little pricey, but well worth it. Try their tomahawk steak. The wait staff was very attentive.

For starters, we had to wait 2 hours and 45 minutes for a table after making a reservation. We then got seated in the bar area at a high top table. It took another hour and 40 minutes for our food to finally arrive after ordering. The drinks were good and my steak was decent for what it was but the rest of the meal left a lot to be desired. The Mac and cheese was bland and the chicken entrees were over cooked and dry. All of this for a whopping $300 plus tip for 4 people. Definitely not worth the wait and there are much better steak houses out there if you're actually looking for food. read more

Great food great service. What more can you ask for, the fillet was one of the best steaks I have ever had

We had a party of eight and everyone's dinner was wonderful. I ordered a fillet medium. Everyone told me it's the best steak you'll ever eat. The first bite. I was like what is wrong with this steak. It was not rare. It was raw at that point, I had lost my appetite for steak so the waitress Did offer to bring me a new one, but instead she took it off the bill for me. It was a wonderful evening spite that. read more

Worst service in Toledo, if it was Dennys I'd have been angry. 22min for my drink to arrive. 20 minutes after that was empty my husband walked to the bar for us.... They were not busy. The manager was the worst, zero concern for the situation. It actually took more than 10 min for her to stop by the table after we asked for her a second time. Don't waste your time or money. They should Bring back the Buffet. read more

Every course was perfect. The Cut Salad was unique and a great combination of texture , taste and very fresh Every dish (in this case halibut and a bone-in aged strip steak) were elegantly prepared and delicious. Even the sides as well. The dining area is as always quiet even though full, and beautiful as always. This restaurant can vary in quality due to frequent promotion of chefs and managers so catch them now at the top of their game. Perfect for birthdays and anniversaries and other special events. read more

Calvin our severer was excellent. We'll go back especially if we get him again. It was a very nice and special wedding anniversary dinner!!

My wife and I attended final cuts new Wine Swirl last night. The tickets were $50 a person included three small samples and one glass of wine at the end of your choice. It also included three very small appetizers paired with the tasting. In my opinion the wines were at best mediocre and the food even less. We have had dinner at Final Cut many times and always enjoyed it however it does seem as if the menu has not changed and very few seasonal specials. The service is always excellent and we do enjoy the atmosphere. However, Toledo is starting to step up it's restaurant game and there are more choices now. I would not recommend the wine tasting. $50 is way too much for what you receive. read more

Also, did I mention it is well worth the 47 mile drive from Michigan. read more

The Bottom Line: Although the Final Cut is expensive, it's worth every penny. We've been here three times. The first was soon after FCS&S opened. It was fantastic then, and I'm pleased to say that the quality of the food and the service has only gotten better with time. Drinks: I was satisfied by an adequate-to-above-average selection of beer and whisky. As far as girlie drinks go, my wife likes her drinks the way she likes her man..."strong and not TOO sweet, but still a little sweet." Considering these annoyingly enigmatic preferences, I'm always amazed when a bartender is able to come up with drinks that she loves. She was set up nicely, about 6 or 7 times, with fancy-crafty cocktails. Service: Outstanding. Fast, friendly, accurate. Steak: Again, outstanding. I've indulged in the filet on two occasions, and one of the several cuts of rib eye on the third. Steak finishers (hollywood steak sauce, béarnaise, bleu cheese, and au poivre) are complimentary. For an extra three bucks, which will amount to about 1% - 2% of your final check, (assuming you have a drink or two...or three), you can have your steak topped with sautéed onions, bone marrow crust, foie & herb butter, or smoked wagyu butter. For me, the au poivre with a 12 oz filet simply cannot be beat. I wasn't surprised that each time, the meat was perfectly cooked...medium means medium, dammit! This time around, the birthday girl went with the lightly crusted scallops, prepared with artichoke heart risotto and verjus butter. Predictably, she had a foodgasm...she always does when we "eat fancy," but this one was a REAL toe curler. I have a bit of a buzz going on right now, so I can't remember exactly what she ate the first two times we came here, but I know she was satisfied (two more foodgasms). The atmosphere is professional and very elegant, yet, I don't feel it's stuffy at all. The waitstaff makes you feel welcomed, even if you happen to be a little under-dressed. (Fortunately for me, in Toledo, it's pretty well accepted that people often under-dress for dinner). That said, I wore a sport coat, and surprisingly, I didn't burst into flames. "Business casual" is recommended. I can't say enough positive things about Final Cut Steak and Seafood. This is definitely one of the city's finest restaurants, and quite possibly the finest steakhouse. Just be ready to smash open your piggy bank before you visit. Five stars! read more

I wish I could review the inside. We never got inside. We stood in front of the host waiting to be acknowledged but she never looked up even to give eye contact. She was on the phone but with not even a nod to acknowledge we were standing there indicated the lack of attention so we ate elsewhere. the place was empty so it was not because the restaurant was busy other than a phone call read more
