Bold Food & Drink

I beg to differ from all of the positive reviews. This place serves low quality food at premium prices. My steak was one of the worst I ever had. The side of sautéed mushrooms came right out of a can. I would skip this place if I were you !

My girlfriend found this restaurant while researching places in the city for us to celebrate our anniversary. I was a bit hesitant to try and brand new restaurant but I’m glad we did.
The atmosphere was upscale but relaxing, our waitress was knowledgeable and attentive, the food was fantastic, and the price was reasonable. I can’t wait to go back and try something else

Without a doubt, Bold is my new fave in Cleveland. Recently it opened in the previous Ken Stewart location, and I gave it some time to get set and roll. I’m glad I did not wait any longer. The other night I had a absolutely perfect dinner there, and am still in awe. Thank god the menu is not yet another designer burger, another pork belly, and another short rib entrée, and the ubiquitous salmon entrée. This seems to be the new normal. (boring,) Bold has an adventurous and well thought out menu. The price point is spot on to keep it from being a special occasion place.
But the food! Chef Demetrios is a very talented man at combining flavors without them becoming to busy. Less is more. To much –just because you can– is a muddy mess. Lets start with the grilled octopus salad. The octopus was grilled to perfection, and it was just the right amount. Tossed with a light dressing, cherry tomatoes, feta, watercress it would have been outstanding. The addition of hearts of palm made it perfection. I’d eat a triple sized portion on a hot summer day. Grilled corn in January is a risk, but this was sweet as corn in August. I assumed it would be served removed from the cob, but it was not. Cutting the cobs in half and skewering them made it so much easier to eat as well. Served on a bed of chili crema with cojita cheese took a simple corn cob to a new level. We had a ribeye and a NY strip as well. I prefer a ribeye at medium to render some of the fat, and the strip at medium rare as it is leaner. Both were flawless. The bartender was charming and professional. She gave us a solid recommendation on wine.
This was one of those special nights when it all fell together. Food, service, atmosphere… It’s tough to hit that trifecta, but this place will do it.
Carry on.

Food was great, Ambraaaaaa really a big help, we had new friend In town who is moving to cle soon. Did great job explaining the city to her while at same time provided great server service.

Great food and service. The corn and devil eggs were great appetizers. Nice atmosphere.

I let my wife find this place! We were getting into Cleveland and we were definitely getting hungry! My wife decided to roll the dice and pick the best rated place in our area.
We ended up at Bolds! This place is a modern restaurant with a cool atmosphere! We went around noon and we got a table right away! The menu had so many choices! We didn’t know where to begin! The had daily lunch specials!
We started our meal with the roasted tomato soup! This was fantastic!!! My wife went with the open face pulled pork sandwich! This sandwich was definitely great and fresh! I went with the Amish chicken and it was delicious and fresh! The food did not taste like it was defrosted from the freezer. No complaints with th food at all!
Our server was fantastic! Very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu! He was on point with our order, food, and even refills.
I would definitely recommend the restaurant! We will be coming to this location again!

Great food selection for those of us that eat fish /​seafood. Great ambiance, great service, and Tyler treated us very well. Owner also came out to see how our meal was afterwards, which we appreciated — shows a personal touch. Great drink selection along with great scotch /​bourbon. All in all we will be visiting here again soon!

Great place for steak, the fish is amazing and the selection of drinks and wine is sophisticated yet very accessible. Staff is attentive and happy.

I recommend Bold for a nice evening out for good food and nice ambiance. We had a party of 8 and went for our annual Christmas Dinner — everyone enjoyed the food — from our salads to main entrees and dessert (best crème brûlée I’ve ever had).
The cream corn side and Brussels were very good. I would pass on the mashed potatoes next time. The filet was on point along with the halibut special.
The service was great, until the restaurant got busy and it slowed quite a bit near the end of the meal. Also, they were out of the wine we ordered twice and brought out bottles coating double what we’d originally ordered, hence the four stars instead of five.
All in all a nice dining experience and will definitely visit again.

Would definitely recommend. My husband and I went in New Year’s Eve. It’s a very cozy atmosphere and the food was amazing. We were splurging so we tried a few apps (quail and Devils) and got the special which was sea bass and the burger with the fried egg. Our waiter, Michele, was so wonderful! He was able to recommend items and was very engaging. We met the owner and chef who were both very personable and you can tell they really care about their restaurant !

Six of us descended upon Bold on Christmas Eve with moderate expectations. Six of us left Bold being extremely impressed with the selection, quality of food, and service. If I have time later I’ll include what menu items were had but suffice it to say it was a WIDE variety from deviled eggs to various salads to chicken to burgers and it was ALL exceptionally well prepared and presented.
It truly was a pleasant surprise and we all agreed we need to return – and soon.

Excellent upscale food with a classy atmosphere. The restaurant staff was very welcoming and helpful. They offer to take your coat to the closet to keep the bulk away from the table. Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgable about the entire restaurant menu.
The food was fantastic. I ordered the shrimp tacos and the calamari. I am a little bit of a seafood fanatic so I tend to be a little judgmental. The calamari I thought was a touch overcooked (rubbery). I like my calamari to freshly snap on a lite bite. As far as the shrimp tacos, no critiques needed. My wife enjoyed her burger, which mind you, has 2 strips of bacon on top that are probably about ¼−½ inch thick each! Amazing! Especially when your partner ordering the burger dislikes bacon. Score! We will be making frequent visits back!

Had an amazing dinner here! Our server was super knowledgable about the menu & extra friendly!
We went with steaks & were pleasantly surprised. The Brussel sprouts were phenomenal.
Will for sure return to this restaurant when in town.

Wow, this one is a show stopper! I was pleasantly surprised at the warm and welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. I SAT AT THE BAR AND THE BARTENDERS AND BARBACK WERE KNOWLEDGEABLEN ENGAGING AND FRIENDLY! I had the Chile rellano and the club sandwich which were both out of this world. I didn’t want to eat real heavy that is why I ordered the club, it was like artwork on a plate and oh so delicious but it was huge (yes, I know just a club sandwich, that’s what I thought before I ordered it) you have to try this place out you wont be disappointed!

Try the corn on the Cobb, z shrimp tacos, Ohio beef burger, and the spiced nuts. You won’t be disappointed. Presentation and flavors on point for everything I’ve had!
The servers are all attentive and very knowledgable. Great for groups or date night!

Absolutely fantastic. The service experience here is a breath of fresh air in the restaurant world when we are usually inundated by people who have lost the art of giving patrons good service with a good attitude.
Tyler, the general manager at night is great and you know immediately he has a passion for the business and making his customers happy and want to come back.
Rachel, The server we had, was very attentive, very nice, knew the menu, knows the wine, just awesome.
Danielle, one of the bartenders at night, was just a blast, we had dinner at the bar one night as well and it was just as good of his experience is having a server and equally is knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. She also makes a really mean Manhattan.
Get the bacon wrapped chorizo stuffed dates, the charred ribeye is great, the Zen Power salad is solid and the hanger steak is great too.
