    French onion soup
    Steph M.

    Cute and cozy, steak/seafood/fresh pasta on menu, drinks were well made , wine pours as expected. Bartenders were friendly & efficient. Cheese on French onion soup was so flavorful. Filet so tender could cut with a butter knife . Shrimp on shellfish tower was probably biggest I've ever had ( & I have had a lot !) didn't love oysters and they were huge too and I prefer smaller ones . Decor was 20s cheeky vibe - would recommend & go back

    Truffle fries and ribeye

    Cavatelli al burro
    Patrick P.

    This could be one of the coolest hidden gems in this city. I was brought here by my work colleague (aka "the boss") who recently was here and had a tour of what they offer. Before I dive into dinner, I'll tell you that they have rooms to stay in, permanent residents in the building, a gym, smaller areas for meetings, smaller more intimate rooms for dining or movie watching, a private speakeasy with cigar bar...just amazing. Now let's get to dinner. Our server Brittany provided a robust specials option and explained the menu so it wasn't so daunting. She was fantastic! I started with the French onion soup. I am not exaggerating when I say that this was the most flavorful broth I've ever had. I inhaled the soup. I had the cavatelli al Burro but no mushrooms. Hand made noodles. Fresh vegetables. Added two jumbo shrimp (blackened- another recommendation from Brittany, thank you!) there was also not a bite left. No room for dessert but I know that if I'm ever back in town, I'd love to try some other things like their steaks and seafood! Thanks to the team here for an amazing dinner. I'll be back-

    Ribeye Steak cooked to perfection
    Blake C.

    We had an amazing time at Alexander Pierce for our date night. This was one of the best meals we've had in a long time. For starters, we ordered the calamari as well as oysters. My wife made the comment that it was the best calamari she's ever had. It was absolutely delicious. I then had a Small Caesar salad and the Ribeye for my entree. You could tell that the ribeye was very high quality as it melted in my mouth on every bite. It was also cooked exactly how I ordered it, medium rare. The drink selection was extensive and we were able to identify a few and we're not disappointed. As for the service, our waitress was very attentive and helped guide us through our food and drink selections. The ambiance of the restaurant was very cool and gave off an old school Italian vibe. They even had this little cigar lounge area that I was able to indulge in after our meal. I can honestly say it was the perfect spot for date night and we will definitely be back to try many of the entrees we had a hard time passing on for the first go round.

    Interior
    Devon P.

    I am thoroughly underwhelmed. The vesper martini is interesting because it has lemon juice which is overpowering. The interior reminds me of old Las Vegas (but the quality fell substantially short). I am not a fan of this fine dining restaurant having paper over the table and the server writing their name in crayon. The French onion soup smelled great, but was disappointing. I think the onions could have been caramelized more and the broth reduced more because it tasted thin/watery. The soup didn't have any layers of flavor; even though I was told it took 4 days to make, it tasted as if a carton of beef broth was warmed with dried rosemary and onions and then served. When I first tasted the soup, it tasted like watered down Stouffer's stove top stuffing. The filet was so chewy and not like any prime steak I've had. It was not tender whatsoever. It was not enjoyable. I ate it just because I was hungry and not because I liked it. The scallops that I added were the best part of the meal. The creamy espresso martini is also very good and made me not leave fully disappointed. I booked it saying I had a special occasion but nobody asked me about it. I was looking forward to a spectacular meal, but I left extremely disappointed. The best part about eating here is the free parking. EDIT: Thank you for responding to my review. While I do understand checking on your guests (the service was good and not mentioned in my review), what would it have added to comment on that when I'm commenting on the dishes I received in the moment? I would not have been served a better or true prime steak; I would not have been served a delicious French onion soup. How would you address my concerns about the food?

    Filet Oscar style with scallops and asparagus
    Amanda K.

    Repeat customer here - food is superb and the staff is amazing. HIGHLY recommend. Shrimp cocktail is amazing. The scallops are spectacular. The calamari is awesome.

    Featured BlueFin appetizer
    Roland K.

    I drove one hour from Wooster to meet an old friend for dinner and conversation at Alexandr Pierce. The host seated us at a convenient booth rather than a tiny table. Our waitress Desi introduced herself and asked for our drink orders. She said she'd give some time to review the menu and would detail the special and answer any questions. We ordered a Negroni and a Smoked Woodford Reserve Old Fashioned. They were both well executed and delicious. We ordered the featured BlueFin appetizer and the Calamari Misto appetizer. The presentation was excellent and they were both delicious. I then ordered Oysters Rockefeller. My friend doesn't do oysters. After much cajoling he tried one and found they were delicious. We were equally impressed with the Bluefin appetizer. During the entire meal Desi was always attentive without being hovering. I asked Desi about the Riesling and Pinot Gris by the glass. She suggested the Pinot Gris. It was an excellent choice to accompany the dishes.we settled in on the Double Cut Duroc Pork Chops and the Frutti di Mare pasta. The pork chop was delicious and expertly cooked and presented with Asparagus. My Frutti di Mare pasta was delicious. The mussels, shrimp and scallops were perfectly prepared and served on hollow spaghetti with a bright sauce of cherry and grape tomatoes. We ended the night with the house made creme brûlée garnished with fresh fruit. I had asked for coffee to accompany the dessert and end the meal. Desi provided professional service and advice. All of our food was delivered timely and we never felt rushed. We had plenty of time for have leisurely conversation and at no time were we interrupted from enjoying our exceptional meal. This was my first meal at Alexander Pierce. It will not be my last. I will be spreading the word for the hidden gem restaurant.

I had the spritz, which was good, but took over 30 minutes to receive even though we asked about it multiple times and everyone else at our table had received their drinks. My husband had an old fashioned which turned out to be only 5oz. The glass was not even half full. We all thought this had to be a mistake considering the cost and how poorly presented the drink was but the manager assured us that they measure properly. I think they should include this on the description because for $13, we were not expecting such a small drink. Our friends were not impressed with any of the drinks they ordered, either. My friend specifically ordered a double vodka shot in a short glass but received it in a tall glass, therefore watering down the drink. As for food, we shared the marinated feta appetizer and the charcuterie board. Both were good but the charcuterie only had one serving of meat (salami) and the rest were olives, peppers, cheese and grapes. For $19, we were expecting a little more. One of the cheeses, the largest portion, was a very spicy pepper cheese that none of us really enjoyed. The dip was very good - no complaints. We also ordered three pizzas. Our friend got the chicken pesto which he said was ok but nothing great. My husband got the short rib which he enjoyed. I did a make your own, which had literally no flavor at all. The crust was good but that was about it. I suppose that's my fault for picking the toppings but I thought it would taste better than it was. As for service - it was very slow and they were very inattentive. I wouldn't come back here or recommend it. I think as a restaurant that advertises for its drinks and pizza, both were lacking.

That's the fun of dining in a hidden speakeasy restaurant. I'm used to only finding them on my trips to Vegas so to discover one close to home was like hitting a local jackpot! We walked in Mattioli's Pizzeria and knew to look for the secret entrance. The only downside was we arrived at the same time as another couple so we didn't get the joy of opening the door for ourselves. (Next time) We walked into a completely darkened room and found a hostess who asked for our reservation and then escorted us to our table. Definitely a speakeasy vibe. Lights down low with just some minimal table lighting. Classy decor and just the right touches of comfort and secrecy to the vibe. We looked over the menu and placed our order. We got a salad and the pizza cupcakes for appetizers. Delicious! If you go do yourself the favor and get the pizza cupcakes! You get four of them and you can choose the variety you want. Of course I picked four different ones and loved them all. We ordered three different pizzas from the menu all of them were happily eaten. The crust is light and soft with a good taste. The pizza all with different sauces, cheeses and toppings yet each flavorful and delicious. We may have over ordered just a bit but who doesn't like to take leftover pizza home? Besides it was just as good warmed up on day 2. We did have some little homemade type sugar donut balls that our friends ordered for dessert. Can't remember what they were called. Nothing I would go out of my way to order but they tasted fine. Just not my type of dessert. The bar seems extensive with lots of handcrafted drinks. Took a video of the waitress torching a crème brûlée martini. Lots of fun to watch them craft these drinks. We sat around a very comfy table that made us feel like all we were missing was a fireplace and we'd have been right at home ready to curl up under a blanket and take a little nap after a good meal. We would definitely return and look forward to doing just that in the future.

OK, whatever, they were busy. We were overcharged for our wine by a $1, but we let that go. The thing that annoyed me most was that they weren't even serving wine in the right glasses. There are red wine glasses and there are white wine glasses; You're a wine bar - serve it in the proper glass. So maybe it's just that one night when there was a crowd. Sadly, no. Went after work last week and only four other patrons. The three guys hanging out with owner all had red wine in red wine glasses, but the guy next to me got red wine in a white wine glass. So apparently they're just clueless. Or perhaps they were saving all the red wine glasses for friends of the owner. As far as wine selection, thumbs down. Maybe 20 whites, total. There are many, many restaurants with better selections, such as Papa Joe's, the Bistro in Kent, that will even serve your wine in the right wine glass -- imagine that! To be honest, I don't get the sense that they're taking their business seriously, more like, "Hey, let's open a wine bar! We don't know jack about wine or the service industry, but it couldn't possibly be THAT hard, right? We'll print up the wine lists on the home computer and put them in these 3 prong cardboard folders left over from when the kids were in middle school. Piece of cake."
