Strip

By far my favorite restaurant in Cleveland. I would go here every time I went out to dinner if I could. I’d recommend it for special events as it is a terrific experience.
Every time I go, we get the steak for two. It starts with pretzel bread sticks which are tasty. They are served with butter and peanut butter. I honestly think you could eat them plain, but a little extra butter makes them even more decadent. Im not a big peanut butter fan, so that didn’t really do anything for me.
Next, you get your choice of soup or salad. For a small up charge you can get their lobster bisque which my hubby loves or a signature salad.
Next up, 2 filet mignons, 2 sauces or butters and 2 side dishes to split. The side dishes are so large that they could feed a family of 4 easily. Ive tried a couple of the sauces and butters and all are delicious. We’ve tried a bunch of sides too and my favorites are the bourbon corn and lobster risotto. The mashed potatoes are also pretty good.
Next, you get your choice of dessert to split. We tried the smores brownie which was delicious, but super rich.
Terrific food!
Ambiance is nice too as it is a restored barn with 2 levels of seating. Kitchen is also open so you can watch your meal being cooked.

Had dinner tonight and it was delicious. We started with the seasonal salad that had watermelon, blueberries, greens, pumpkin seeds, goat cheese and a vinaigrette.
Tried the apple bacon and garlic butters and both were great.
For side dishes, we had the garlic smashed potatoes and scalloped potatoes. Both were really good. The scalloped potatoes had a huge layer of cheese and were so good.
For dessert peanut butter pie was really good. It was mousse on top, with a layer like a buckeye on the bottom. Really rich!

I had the special steak, a bone in wagyu. Best steak I’ve ever had. Huge fan of the homemade pretzel bread & peanut butter spread. Nice little outdoor space too on a nice night.

Went here for special occasion. The ambience, in what appears to be a remodeled old barn, is very cool. The food was good and had more options than you’d expect from a higher end steakhouse. Just be aware that the sides feed well over 2 people (which is what the menu claims). This was a bit of annoyance as we ordered way to many for the group and the server didn’t warn us. I get it, I used to be a server but a little heads up would have been appreciated. As well the server was generally awkward kind of putting a small damper on the mood but whatevs. Overall, at this price point I would choose Cabin Club or XO over Strip.

What a gem this place is. Went for the first time for an anniversary dinner. Dina, our server, was fabulous. Food was outstanding. Décor lovely. All in all… my new favorite.

Service is awesome. Portions are generous. Meals are made to your liking. We like bringing other couples here to dine with us. Will be back!

Once again and every time we have eaten here they never disappoint. Turkey chop, mac & cheese, love them. Start with the prawn appetizer, can’t go wrong.

Great local establishment. Great drinks! Holly is a great bartender and Mike is an excellent server! You honestly can’t go wrong with anyone in this place. The short ribs are ridiculous! A must try in Avon!

One of the best restaurants in Avon or on the far west side! Cool ambiance inside, we dined on the second floor, which was neat. Everything we had was delicious! Good special occasion or date night spot. Portions were nice.

I’ll start by saying that we have been to this restaurant and had a good meal and service, but our service experience this last time was so bad that we will not be back for a long time. We came for hapy hour on a Friday night, and with it being Lent my wife heard that they have good Lenten specials. We sat at the bar and ordered a glass of wine for each of us and we had to ask for a menu and then had to ask for the Happy Hour Menu and what the Lenten specials were for the night and the soup of the day. The real issue was when we recevied the bill there was an extra glass of wine on it. I mentioned this to the bartender and she snapped back that the bill was correct and she didn’t charge us for an extra glass which she most definitely did. This was a dishonest act and one that can not be ignored so we will not be back.

What a unique spot. It used to be an old barn. It used to be a house of yarn. :)
Loved the décor! Not your typical steakhouse leather and cigar bar.
Our server was amazing. She helped guide us to all the goodies which included:
Hummus appetizer was yummy (hey — even a steakhouse can do good veggies!)
The tater tots, which were larger than I expected AND amazing. I had the Boliermaker which was a center cut ribeye. I was warned It was good but I would get the bone-​in next time. Someone else got the Waygu and it was like a dinosaur. Get this if you have a dog… he will LOVE you and you will be more than happy with the cut.
The sided were wonderful too. The gruyère mac n cheese and the lobster pasta. I could not decide which one I loved more. I think we had a vegetable but I cannot remember for the life of me.
Great place if you find yourself in Avon.

Highly recomend by friends. Worse service I have ever had. Jim our waitermust have thought he was Houdini, keep pulling a disappearing act and would be gone for 10 minutes or longer. When I received my steak it was under cooked and cold. I Emailed Strip on Monday the 18^th and have still to get a response from them. This was for my girlfriends Birthday bad expereince for her birthday. Waiter very off putting.

I loved the food, service, décor, and ambiance but I really, really, loved the food. I already said that but had to emphasize it again:) Am I allowed to say organismic on Unilocal?Because that was what my steak was like. Juicy, soft, perfectly cooked, mouth watering, and delicious. Probably the best restaurant I’ve been to in Avon, Ohio. The prices are high but the portions are large enough for sharing and you may even have left overs to take home. I suggest making a reservation cause this place gets really busy. If you need to make a great first impression, check this place out. Cheers!

This is our new favorite restaurant! After moving to Avon from Westlake, we wanted a new steak place closer to home that would rival our usual stops — Hyde Park and Cabin Club — we found that at Strip. We’ve never had a bad meal there. We love the mussels, the filets, and the lobster bisque! Great patio in the summer!

Very nice place to splurge for special occasions. I reserved a table for New Years Eve with family and friends. The place is small but very well decorated and feels bigger than it is. The food was delicious. The side portions are huge! Some portions are too big for one person as well. I especially loved my martini. The very berry martini. The staff was very pleasant. I would recommend Strip to anyone! Go… spend a lot… enjoy a full belly!

Very good steak in an cool rustic barn setting. Very nice vibe. They do a ton of things extremely well.
This may be more of a concept critique… If you dine downstairs, the kitchen is exposed. Kind of bizarre they allow the cooks in the kitchen to be on their cellphones and so casual (wearing knit winter hats/​street clothes/​etc) while preparing meals. I just couldn’t help but notice due to the open visibility. Wardrobe of staff is similar to that of a Texas Roadhouse, which is not what you would expect with what most perceive as an upscale steakhouse like Strip. At first glance you would think you were looking at a chain restaurants kitchen. Sit upstairs for more of a romantic atmosphere.
The food was prepared very well and service was very, very good. Would definitely recommend and we will be going back. But for those looking for a higher end dining experience, including attention to the finer things and aesthetics, maybe look elsewhere. But all in all, a solid choice if your out in Avon looking for an above average steak.

Place was recommended to me by a friend. Took my girlfriend here for our anniversary and it was amazing. The food was cooked perfect, absolutely delicious. The service was top notch, I’ve had better, but only at far more expensive restaurants. Our server was a stand-​up individual who was on point all night. I would definitely come here again, but because a meal for 2 with run you $ 150, then I recommend only attending for special occasions… But definitely come here for special occasions, it’s perfect.
Side note: it’s nearly impossible to find from the road, and not even Google maps tells you where to turn in… But once you find it, its awesome.

Everything about our meal was great. The service, the food — all top notch. As is expected, you will drop a few bones here, but you will get your money’s worth. I will make special mention of the «Caveman» steak I enjoyed, which was a Wagyu Ribeye served on the bone. One of the better steaks I have had… ever.
Only subpar part of the meal was the crab dip appetizer, but that was easily overlooked by the rest of the experience. For special occasions, or if you drop $ 200 on dinner on a frequent basis, this is as good a spot as any.

This place is wonderful — a great combination of modern and classy.
The food came out quickly and tasted amazing. The service was great. And while it’s pricy, it’s really worth it for a date night.
The dessert was amazing… A giant s’more for two complete with marshmallows, chocolate, and a hot brownie in between graham cracker. Perfect to split and savor!

Location Note:
Strip can be a bit tricky to find as it’s located off of the main road and there are no frontage signs to let you know where it is. Look for the sign at the intersection of Detroit and Hale that reads «The Shoppes of Olde Avon Village» and turn into the drive. Strip is down the hill and to the left.
We choose a different restaurant each year at which to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This year, as you’ve probably surmised, we chose Strip. I had a hankerin’ for a piece of meat and the menu seemed to offer just enough variation for even those not into cow.
First, the venue. Strip is essentially a giant barn that’s been repurposed into a restaurant. There’s a downstairs area with bench and table seating, a bar for lounging and an upstairs mezzanine that overlooks the downstairs. A giant steel mobile hangs over the center of the space, a set of bull horns on the wall complete with bras dangling precariously from the ends, and dim lighting is the order of the day. I’d say it’s got sort of a swanky, upscale casual vibe to it. Not too uptight not too Coyote Ugly.
Strip is all about the steak and it’s their showcase menu item. They offer only USDA prime grade beef that’s aged 21 days. The steaks range in price from $ 28 to $ 39 for a 24oz porterhouse monster. There’s also a nice selection of seafood, chops and salads making it a menu with something for just about everyone.
Our server, Sarah, was absolutely amazing and a prime example of what’s in terribly short supply within the service industry. This girl knew the menu backwards and forwards. She was up on every beer I asked her about. And she wasn’t just some automaton reciting some script she had dutifully memorized as part of her training. It flowed off her tongue effortlessly and every interaction felt as natural as a friendly conversation. She should be given a raise immediately.
To start, we opted for the Tater Tots. While not what you’d expect with a name like this, they were delicious. More croquette than tot, the quartet of Panko-​breaded beauties came with a side of herbed cream sauce for dipping and some blue cheese crumbles. Crispy, golden brown outside and smooth, creamy potato insides, the bacon and blue cheese made these into mini loaded baked potatoes.
Every meal comes with complimentary soft pretzel sticks served with butter and peanut butter butter. Don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it. The smooth, whipped nutty spread is amazing on the buttery soft pretzels.
For my pre-​dinner salad I chose the spinach salad. Baby spinach, sugar walnuts, bacon pieces, and tomato wedges, dressed with a warm bacon vinaigrette. I found this to be a slight misstep. The spinach was a bit overdressed and the large tomato wedges were clunky. I did, however, love the crispy bacon and sugary walnuts.
My wife had the butternut squash soup and while well-​seasoned and tasty I found it to be very thick, more purée than soup. Still, it was very smooth and full of rich buttery goodness.
For entrees, I had to go with a steak. Anything else felt like it would just be wrong. My selection, the 10oz center-​cut ribeye called the Boilermaker. All of their steaks come with your choice of either a compound butter or a sauce. I went with the jalapeño and cilantro butter and wasn’t disappointed. The steak was cooked a perfect medium, was nearly so tender I didn’t need a knife, and seasoned with a deft hand. This is what I want when I go out for steak.
I also ordered a side of Milburg Scalloped Potatoes. Comfort food, through and through. Tender sliced potatoes covered in what looked like a pound of cheese. Be careful, this was a large serving. Delicious. Need I say more?
My wife had the Skinny Linguini — house-​made garlic parsley linguini, butter roasted
vegetable medley with morsels of shrimp, served with a 6 oz. cold water lobster tail, garlic crostini, and seasonal herbs. This dish was enormous, probably enough to feed a family of four. I didn’t care for it but she thought it was pretty good. The lobster tail was tender and sweet but the pasta and veggies just felt lackluster.
I’ll admit it, I’m a bit pickier when it comes to selecting our anniversary dinner spots and, correspondingly more stringent on my reviews of such places. I just go in expecting more. That being said, Strip didn’t disappoint. A unique, classy atmosphere, service that was among the best I’ve experienced in years, and delicious food that left us stuffed to the gills. We’ll definitely remember our visit for years to come.

My wife and I decided to celebrate our «golden anniversary» here a few weeks ago, and were very pleased with our meal and the experience. We sat at an upstairs table and really enjoyed the ambiance and feel of the old, converted Amish barn.
We decided to share their «Steaks for Two» dinner special which consists of a pair of 6oz filets, 2 side salads, 2 side dishes and one dessert. We also had a wonderful bottle of Cab as well.
The meal started off with a basket of piping hot pretzel rolls with your choice of a regular butter or a peanut butter styled butter… both were tasty options and the pretzel rolls were baked perfectly.
My wife ordered the side salad with a house dressing, and i «upgraded» to the lobster bisque. The salad had a nice mix of greens and slices of hard Parmesan cheese on top… quite good! My bisque was unusual, a fair bit thinner than a typical bisque but loaded with lobster chunks and a very good flavor.
Then came the main dishes… each steak comes with either a butter topper or a side dipping sauce (if you choose). My wife got the Bearnaise sauce and I selected the horseradish cream sauce… mine was clearly the better of the two, and we scarfed up every last bit of it! The filets were cooked to the exact temps we ordered, and were juicy and delicious. Our side dishes included a creamed spinach and also the lobster risotto, but excellent choices and large enough to share with 2 – 4 other people (I think every table walks out with doggy bags for their leftover sides).
For dessert we decided upon their own version of a S’more…which was quite possibly (no offense to the quality of the steaks) the best part of the meal. Layers of graham crackers, stacked with the requisite chocolate and marshmallow, with a layer of brownie baked inside. Holly cow, talk about decadence!!! I included some pictures for you to drool over as well. Enjoy!
