The food and service are outstanding! Even a medium well steak was perfect. They do their best to accommodate special food requests. The setting is small. Intimate and good for conversation. read more

Went here for the first time last night with a friend and it will be our last time. Service was good from start to finish. Also the bread they bring out to everyone was the best part of the meal. Everything else sadly fell flat. We each got the prime rib special, medium rare. They came out with grill marks on them. Both medium to medium well at best. Worst part is that it was overcooked and not that warm. Dinner came out so quick we both didn't finish our salads. Which was fine as my friend said her ceaser salad just tasted like mayo. Got dessert and it was equally disappointing for my friend. Her creme brûlée was frozen in the middle. We like to try new places and support local whenever we can but this one just fell flat read more

This was the first time my wife and I visited Seared. She ordered the sirloin and I ordered the double bone pork chop. We both added the Brussel sprouts. The waitress brought us bread as we waited. The bread had a very nice seasoning on top and was warm and moist. Our food arrived shortly after and my wife loved her steak and the Brussel sprouts were top notch. My wife steak was cooked exactly as she ordered and was flavorful and tender. My pork chops came out with a very nice deep bourbon, flavorful sauce and were tender and juicy. I tend to order pork chops at the many steakhouse restaurants we have visited and these were on par with the best. At the end of our meal, my wife ordered the creme brulee. This was one of the best we ever had. To top this off, our waitress was amazing and the service was excellent. I highly recommend you stop in here for some of their great food! read more

We started coming here a few months ago we brought our parents and our daughter fiancé. We all enjoy this restaurant. This last experience was not one of the better ones. Some confusion and issues. Asparagus way overcooked but it taste good. Our appetizer didn't come out but they ended up taking care of us on that. The one thing that I really wish is that the servers would ask if we were part of the Rewards program. We have been there at least three times that we have not used our phone number for the Rewards. Two of which were over $100 purchases and I'm a little bummed about that because I would like to get my points And for some reason I can't get it in my head that seared has points so I'm always forgetting. Our server (Matt?) was very nice ! Ambiance cold and dark read more

This was my first time at Seared. I loved the atmosphere and the strawberry martini was excellent. I ordered a filet, cooked to medium, but what arrived was totally uncooked except for the outside edges. It was completely raw towards the center. My son and daughter-in-law were with me for their second time at Seared, and her filet was also uncooked, not the medium she requested. For the price, it was disappointing. That being said, I will probably return to try another meal, because our server was excellent and the restaurant itself is beautiful. I'm hoping my next visit will be more successful. read more

Our first visit since the remodel. I loved the ambiance and low lighting. We were seated in front of the bar. It was fine until someone off the street came in and sat behind us at the bar in their Oil Change attire after work. I consider this place upscale for Toledo. The food was delicious, New York Strip cooked to perfection, Filet Lollipops were great! The area behind the bar has large screen and it doesn't make sense for the atmosphere. I would come again, only if I sat away from the bar. read more

Came from out of town to visit my Mom. Had high hopes but, in the end, was very unhappy. The Good - cocktails, Caesar, and Brussel Sprouts. The Bad - The both steaks - Sirloin and Filet were extremely under cooked (rare) and not even close to medium. One went back to be cooked more and they brought out a new one that was rare again. Baked potatoes were so cold they couldn't melt the butter. At that point, we just took the check, paid and went to another establishment for dessert. read more

Anything you order at Seared is 5 star. The steaks are fantastic as is the salmon. I'm a brussel sprouts lover and theirs shouldn't be missed read more

It was my first time dining at Seared. I must say that our service by Celissa (sp?) couldn't have been better. She was friendly and attentive without being overbearing- absolutely perfect! The ambiance, which I noticed later, was pleasant with dim lighting. Nothing of awe, but pleasant enough. Bread was superb- warm soft and delicious. The food was overall good. I'll speak to my entree, which was linguine with scallops and shrimp in a lemon vinaigrette sauce. It was good but somehow not amazing. I had ordered asparagus as an extra side. The asparagus was chopped up so I'm not really sure how many stalks I got for the extra price. I was pretty hungry after not eating all day so ate my dinner with no leftovers. Wish I had taken pics, but was meeting up with friends I hadn't seen in a while that were more important than the food. I would recommend giving this place a try. I wasn't blown away but would go back. read more

Food, ambience and service from Celissa were excellent!!! Had the sirloins as usual cooked just perfect. Will definitely go back. read more

Seared - Crème brûlée martini sooo good! - Steakhouses Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

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. read more

The seafood fondue is more like a bisque..was too soupy ..I was expecting a cheesier texture..they served it with toast points but was was to runny read more

place is horrible don't waste your time or money food sucked steak was fatty and Caesar salad was garbage

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 read more

We like the ambiance and the food is always delicious no matter what we choose to eat. The wait staff is always friendly and quick. We go almost weekly for the prime rib special and I'm especially fond of the hot honey brussel sprouts. read more

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.

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

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

This restaurant was wonderful. My steak was lean and seared to perfection. On Tuesdays you get four free shrimp if you order any steak. My side was delicious crispy brussel sprouts. Our service was great as well. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

A hidden gem! Great steaks, cocktails and service. We will be back! Gooooooooooooooood.

It was ok. Food was mediocre but not bad. Service was great. I don't know if we'll go back. I want great food from a steakhouse.

I had the grouper cooked Mediterranean style which was fantastic, the ff were hot and crisp, and the wedge salad was great, but it could have used a little more dressing. I saw some tables getting bread that looked good but it must be a side as we didn't get any. read more

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. read more

2 shrimp and 3 scallops in seafood pasta for $25 REALLY?!?!? The French onion soup was so small it was ridiculous. Two spoon fulls. We did carry out and nothing was hot. Won't go back read more

I tried Seared for the first time for a late afternoon work dinner and was highly disappointed with the food BUT The service from the bartender was superb & her drinks were top-notch! I would return just for her drinks. I had the lump crab cakes. They had a good citrus taste but I didn't care for the bread coating and once you broke into the appetizer - it was super dry and crumbly. I could've scooped it up with a spoon because the fork was useless. The accompanying sauce was too salty. I also had the stuffed mushrooms. Didn't like the cream cheese filling they used to stuff the mushrooms so those went uneaten. Finally, my entree arrived. I ordered sautéed shrimp with a baked potato. Again a waste: the shrimp were bland with barely any seasoning. My potato was cold. Overall very disappointed with the food but I'd definitely return for the martini! read more

We loved the ambiance. Food was excellent and cooked to perfection. We did an early dinner and it was not busy.

Food was fantastic. Service was the best . Friendly and comfortable surroundings. Ambiance was very inviting.

I walked into here about 2 weeks ago, excited to support a new buisness. I was very disappointed. I probably will never go back. Food was cold, steak was undercooked, and took forever. I got double charged for my drinks, and was never refunded STILL after being in contact with the general manager twice now. My server wasn't too bad. Just very disappointed that now 2 weeks and 3 reminders I still have not been refunded, even after the manager told me she was doing it 2 weeks ago. read more

New place in town and it's solid. Always looking forward to a new place and this one was worth trying. Steak was cooked perfect and service was excellent. Very welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely recommend and will be going back read more

Great ambience and wonderful food! Best seafood I've had in Toledo. Toppings added a ton of flavor. I had the blackened grouper with creole topping, my husband had sautéed scallops low country. We both loved it!! read more

They microwaved my wife's French onion soup. The olives in our martini tasted spoiled. They charged $18 for the martini which was very tiny serving. The creole was seasoned salt and paprika... wtf? They don't serve the food as defined by the menu and it was overcooked and tasted horrible. We didn't eat the food most had bites and could go beyond that. They need to hire a chef and learn how to cook before opening a restaurant. The service people were top notch, they just have horrible food. read more

We tried this place tonight and it was ok. Just ok. Love the atmosphere and the vibe. The martinis (cucumber and dirty) were top notch. They were out of an appetizer that we wanted, which happens, but it would have been nice to know when we were originally greeted by our server. The French onion soup was bland which was surprising since most places serve it way too salty. The strip steak my husband ordered was undercooked but it had good flavor. My $19 bacon cheeseburger was ok. I subbed a side of asparagus instead of fries and the asparagus was so thin it felt like eating weeds. I guess my issue with this place is that it's not cheap, but the food and experience doesn't match the price. Not terrible, but would recommend it as a great place to have a cocktail. read more

Great in every category. By far the best restaurant in Toledo. Great food. Great service, great atmosphere.

I went on Mother's Day and it was terrible. The food was not cooked away. I want it. It was burnt on one side and medium well on the other side. And the service was terrible. The young lady that waited on us never asked us if we wanted to refill or anything told me they had chicken and rice soup and it was chicken noodle soup. I will never go back to that place. It cost too much money for the service that we got. read more
