Best draft beer in the area and the only place I was able to drink Akron's own Hoppin Frog's Frosted Frog on draft.

Had a wonderful evening dining at the Diamond Grille!…read more The ambience was lively, and the service was exceptional. Started out at the bar and ordered a Manhattan. It was ice cold and perfectly crafted. We were then sat at a booth where we enjoyed our meal. Two people in the group ordered steaks that were prepared exactly as ordered. I had the salmon grilled, and it was delicious! We also had wines by the glass and another perfectly crafted cocktail (French 75). I recommend this restaurant and can't wait to come back! * don't forget to bring cash-- it's the only form of payment that is accepted!

This place has been a staple in Akron for decades, so my husband and I dined there last night to…read morecelebrate our anniversary. We won't be going back. Don't get me wrong: the food is fine (in the most mediocre sense). Full disclosure: We don't eat red meat, so I can't comment on their steaks, which is what the place is known for. This is a classic case of tradition masquerading as fine dining. There's no subtly or nuance to the cuisine. The oysters Rockefeller was overly sauced, and the salad was overdressed. My salmon was a bit overcooked, but the baked potato was very good. The dessert, a brownie with ice cream, ate like a Little Debbie squirted with Hershey chocolate sauce. I will say that our server was wonderful and was working very hard. The ambiance, however, was sad. We were seated in the bar area on very uncomfortable wooden benches. Honestly, it felt like a Cracker Barrel. At the bar was an obnoxiously loud man dropping F-bombs and saying homophobic things. He pretty much ruined any enjoyment we had a hope of having. Finally, Diamond Grille doesn't accept credit cards, which we knew, but again, our enjoyment was dampened by having to keep track of how much everything cost so we didn't spend more than the cash we had gotten out of the ATM on our way. The hostess told us they were planting their feet and never taking cards, and I just don't understand why, in the 21st century, a business would alienate customers like this. All in all, this place is resting on its past reputation, and in my opinion, it's unearned.

I've never been here before but I know it's a fairly popular place so I was quick to agree to the location. We originally sat at the bar but the stools were so incredibly uncomfortable, so we moved to a booth. While our server was nice, it did take her quite a while to come take our drink order. I got a "lavendar breeze" for my first drink and it was delicious. The menu is small, with the focus being on grilled cheese sandwiches. I'm not a huge grilled cheese lover, so I ordered a wedge salad (with house white French dressing) and the sauerkraut balls from the appetizer menu. The salad was on par with what you'd expect, the dressing was tasty. The sauerkraut balls, though, kind of threw me. First, it's a HUGE serving. There was around 30-40 sauerkraut balls in the basket; way more than I ever imagined would be in an order. I was expecting four or five golf ball sized balls. Maybe I've been spoiled by having some fantastic sauerkraut balls, but these were subpar, at best. They didn't have a lot of flavor and the cocktail sauce they served with them was an odd choice. While I still enjoyed time catching up with a friend and the drinks were well done, I doubt I'll come back for food. The menu just wasn't appealing to me and what I did have wasnt good enough to lure me back anytime soon.

Anyway: We ordered up a Carmenere and a Pinot Noir to start, tasty glasses of wine, and enjoyed the view. Dinner was the Shrimp Scampi and Linguine and a Salmon spiced just right with broccoli. Great meals. Washed those down with Sangiovese and a Cabernet Sauvignon. Polished off with a flourless chocolate cake. Pretty good, and kinda like a lighter fudge cake. Total prior to tip $107. Good meal good surroundings. This is not a weekly stop, but every couple of months it is a nice place to dine.

I was pleasantly surprised with my entire experience. FOOD: I always order perch when it's on the menu. And so, I ordered Crispy Lake Perch ($25). Perch was fried and seasoned to perfection. One of the best and most plentiful perch dishes that I've tasted. AMBIANCE: Casual restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. I enjoyed my meal on the patio on the perfect summer day. Lake views are gorgeous. You're able to walk right up to the lake and take photos. I really wish one could swim in the lake. SERVICE: Service was very attentive and pleasant. I really enjoyed that my meal was delivered to my table at lightning speed. PARKING: Gravel lot parking I look forward to returning. Next time I'm thinking of enjoying brunch and a book. The views are gorgeous, be sure to visit!
