Large wood-like(composite) tables, polished concrete floors. The service was friendly and timely.

Legendary grilled cheese bar of Akron, complete with little umbrellas on each sandwich. You cannot…read moreeat these tiny umbrellas, but they do somehow make the sandwiches taste amazing, but again do not try to eat these small umbrellas they are inedible. I keep reading these reviews saying the sandwiches are dry. If you are lacking saliva be sure to ask your kind server for some extra sauce like ranch or blue cheese or something. The bartenders are like little fairy people and I don't know where they even found barbacks this good, they are like machine elves keeping the fabric of time weaving along. it's a marvel to witness these normal regular human people do their jobs with expert timing. It's hard to believe they are even real people at all, but perhaps inter dimensional beings sent to earth to teach us more about ourselves and feed us tasty food and bevs. The owner Danny B is a really cool dude and curates a selection of some vintage art films, bob ross, and other incredibly quirky things on the tvs, and the atmosphere is one of the most unique Akron-esque places you could hope to spend your precious time left here on earth.

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.

So let's go... Prices are decent for the portion sizes, come on they are huge. Pasta, ribs and chicken dishes are the winners. The side veggie egg rolls not so much. Don't order them if you are expecting $15 egg rolls because that is not what you will get. The bread is fresh and warm, so good! The oil dipping sauce is tasty as well. The service was great, very attentive. The mixed cocktails were excellent. When you think golf course, you have to remember this is Akron and this place is on the edge of a neighborhood. It was nice enough for the enjoyable dinner we had for decent prices. Again the service was on point and the cocktails rocked. Bonus for having vegetarian options. I look forward to returning and enjoying the patio that over looks the golf course. They also set up a few weekly events so be prepared to see an artist preform on a random night.

We have always enjoyed the wonderful dinner experience at ALEXANDER PIERCE, but wanted to try their cooking class. We decided to learn Mediterranean foods. The three hour class flew by learning how to make hummus, pita bread, Greek salad, chicken skewers, baklava, etc. We could have stayed another three. Chef Marianne made it fun, inspirational, and educational. She prepared and presented each recipe perfectly. We can not even imagine how much time she put into preparation. To add to the experience, she finished with a gift bag for each of us filled with recipe cards, her amazing seasonings, and other goodies, including a Greek flag ! We are looking forward to continuing classes. It is a must try. Perfect for couples, groups, families and friends. It was a date night for us. Best we have had in Akron.

5/5 Stars - Exceptional Food & Hospitality for Our 45th Anniversary…read moreWhat a wonderful, slightly hidden place!! Lovely ambiance! We couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary! The entire staff went out of their way to make us feel special, greeting us with anniversary wishes, and our table was adorned with rose petals. Our waiter, Jake, provided exceptional, attentive service all evening. He recommended the calamari misto to start, which was amazingly tender. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his lobster bisque and the flavorful George's Bank sea scallops. My warm bacon spinach salad and lobster pasta were equally stellar. I truly enjoyed the homemade noodles, rich lobster, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes blended together beautifully. (I was busy eating and forgot to take photos!!) Coupled with great wine and a complimentary champagne toast for our anniversary, it was a memorable evening from start to finish (plus a delicious slice of cheesecake to enjoy at home!). Highly recommended, especially for special occasions!

One minor gripe: the mac and cheese is a little one-note. It's not bad, it just doesn't surprise you.
