We swung by seared to give it the old college try. I typically get steak and tried scallops with Mac and cheese. The scallops butter sauce tasted really good but the scallops weren't really browned on the outside like most come. So the texture was off because it was all just the samey. For having a name like Seared, I wouldn't think they would forget to sear the food. I also got the Mac and cheese and I hate to say it really didn't even have any sort of liquid or melted cheese. It's almost like a dry pasta with Parmesan on it and some weird oil at the bottom. My wife got a sirloin and while the flavor was good it was super thin for the price. The picture makes it look thicker because I zoomed in. But it was less than 1/4 an inch if not less.
All in all for the price and the quality Id rather go to better steak houses around the Toledo metro area.

My ribeye was good not great . Really was hoping for it to be better . By the time I added the extras on the steak it ended up costing an extra $10. My parents both got grouper and were not impressed at all. Server brought us the wrong sides at first. The inside of the restaurant wasn’t as cool as I was hoping from reading everyone’s reviews. I think sidelines missed the mark on this place .

I don’t typically leave reviews but with the mix I’ve seen on google, my experience was just too good not to share! After having a terrible experience at “Toledo’s greatest” - Mancys steakhouse, my boyfriend and I were a little nervous to try something new but SO GLAD we did! Steaks were seasoned nicely and cooked to perfection and the service was great. It is nice addition to Toledo with the prices being comparable to longhorn/outback just with better quality food and a nice ambiance which is amazing for a “fancier” sit down dinner!

My girlfriend and I both got the steak burgers, They looked amazing but the flavor was lacking in the meat and the patty was literally an inch thick.. bigger isn't always better. The fries and pickles were amazing. Our waiter George was great and so was the bread.

Service was trash. Save your money. Server did not know the menu or anything about simple drinks. My beverage went dry ...super dry. Service was unbelievably slow. Food was to be expected, but nothing to write home about. For the price I will not be returning. I feel like its a chef that doesn't know how to run a restaurant, but being in the "sidelines toledo family" they should have the service part figured out. Stay in your lane and stick to what you know, sports bars where the service is better then this place. Hire better staff that knows about upper-middle dining AND hope for the best. Good luck but don't waste your money.

I rarely write reviews, but I was shocked to read a few low reviews, and felt the need to comment. I have been to all the top steak restaurants in the Toledo area, and have to say, the filet mignon was one of the best I’ve ever had. It was PERFECT. Also, you will not find a steak of that quality for the price. My boyfriend had the New York strip and said it was perfection. The wait staff was top notch and the setting was very nice. Perfect dim lighting and loved the background music like Frank Sinatra big band style. We will definitely go back.

I'll have to give this place a 2nd chance.
We went for Christmas dinner with the family and left feeling like we paid a premium price for not premium food or service. The atmosphere was very nice and our waiter was just ok. The salads came out 1 minute before the food and half the table got cold food. I bought chicken Alfredo and felt that for $18 with 0 sides my portion should have been much bigger as my bowl was half full. Pasta is cheap guys, fill it up please. The flavor was very good I will say. Most of the rest of the table got steak and burgers and I seemed to hear from everyone that it was "just ok, a chain like Texas Steak House is better and cheaper".
With this place being new, we'll give it a second chance in a few months once they're a little more established. I'll update this review then. Best of luck guys and I hope you get things dialed in.

My husband and I had dinner there Friday. I had Bacon Wrapped Tenderloin Lollipops they were quite tasty maybe a little over done. I also had the crispy Brussel Sprouts and they were fabulous and finally I had the stuffed mushrooms they were very tasty but would rather have them stuffed with something a little more substance than just cream cheese. May since you have crab cakes use some of that to stuff the mushrooms. Crab Stuffed Mushrooms? The atmosphere was just lovely, great date night place.

My son and I were there tonight. Got the Filet lollipops. Flavor was good but a sauce would have elevated it. We both had the French Onion soup. Pretty bland. We both had the house steak. Very bland. Seems like they relied on their butter nob for the seasoning. We both had the Mac and cheese. Very very dry.

I will say it once again! Everything Sidelines Restaurant Group touches turns to gold! The ambience was warm and comforting. The food was delicious with a beautiful presentation! Our server, George was very attentive! Kudos to another Sidelines venture! You have completed the circle of culinary choices!
