On our way back from Boardman, ohio we were looking for somewhere different for an early supper…read more We see Steamers in a little plaza with quite a few cars. So we stopped. This place specializes in seafood. Apparently they have a oyster bar that opens at 3 o'clock. We did not do that. We ordered off the menu. An open face chicken Parm sandwich and shrimp pesto over penne pasta. Both meals were absolutely wonderful. They weren't too much and they weren't skimpy either. Just right for in the middle of the day. The french fries are out of this world. They taste just like my mom used to make when we were kids. That's because they were made out of fresh potatoes like my mom used. They served bread with it also and they were rolls. I believe they were homemade. They had a real nice light sweet taste to them. They also as one of the soups of the day had New England clam chowder that my husband thought was excellent. The place is decorated beautifully. There's lots of room. It's good for just two people to come and eat or if you have an event rehearsal dinner or a little family get together there's plenty of room and it appears they even have an extra outside entrance for events in the side room. The waitress was wonderful. That the menu as you can see from the pictures I posted is really diverse. A lot of different items that you won't see anywhere. For instance there was roast fried green peppers in Oil with bread. I wanted to try that, but I went towards the Parmesan instead. They got a couple different greens dishes too. There's sandwiches Rubens and hamburgers and buffalo chicken sandwiches. And I didn't see any of the salads go near us however they have the regular salads like we find in western Pennsylvania with the french fries and steak on them. The bar looks really nice. They had a beer on tap and had a white selection again. I posted the picture with it. I would come back again when we're passing through it's a must go to place.

We were seated close to the bar, so the ambiance wasn't quite as nice because of the loud conversations and yelling in some instances. Understandably, the preparation of our orders took a little longer than usual, but the food was every bit as good. Our server was Magic Mike and he did a good job of checking back with us to see if there was anything we needed.

The vibe of the place is interesting, there is graffiti all over every available service, which is cute in the dining room where it's kept clean.. but the bathrooms are atrocious!

The elegant atmosphere, complete with white tablecloths and candlelit tables, makes for a memorable dining experience. The service was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. Our appetizer was phenomenal, especially the crab cake--it was one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried the crab mac & cheese, which was rich, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering. The portions are on the smaller side, but by the end of the meal we were completely satisfied. Our only disappointment was the fish entrées, as both were a bit overcooked. Aside from that, everything else was excellent. Overall, it's a gorgeous restaurant with outstanding service, delicious appetizers, and a wonderful atmosphere. We'd gladly return and would recommend it for anyone looking for a special night out.

Here is what went wrong, most sides at the buffet station were cold, limp when should be crisp, and just... okay at best. Some sides did not taste fresh, like left overs example: Mac and Cheese. The steak side dish was cold with very few pieces of tiny steak pieces. That needs some revamping, especially keeping those that can not eat fish, interested in being there. Dessert table was questionable... the presentation of it was sort of strange, they were just sitting on a small round high table. There was no salad bar, which again, for the cost, there should have been a bit more offered. So by saying that, I don't think there was a real wow factor to get us to return. Maybe Sunday's are just not the day to go Thank you for accommodating our group. We appreciated the genuine hospitality from our server

After watching several parties file in just before us, I was sure we'd have a wait but was pleasantly surprised when we were seated right away. The dining room is full of old photos chronicling the history of the business and the key individuals involved in its success. Our waitress was amazing and was as available as she could be, considering the crowd on hand. We all ordered from the Sunday Features menu with two of us ordering the steak dinner, two orders of the wing platter, and one fajita salad with steak. The fries and boneless wings on the platter were crispy and fresh. I'm not sure if the bleu cheese was homemade or not but it was delicious and creamy. I had the steak dinner with no onions and asked for it medium rare. The person next to me asked for the same, but more towards well done. I think our steaks came out looking identical; both had a little pink. Despite that, the steaks were juicy and flavorful and covered in a hearty gravy. We both agreed that the side of green beans were bland and needed a little seasoning, at least. The mashed potatoes were fine. My boyfriend loved the fajita salad, particularly the chipotle dressing. The parking lot extends across the street and it is a little dangerous crossing that busy road, especially during dusk.

That was probably the only thing we did not enjoy: not enough tomato & too much breading. For drinks, the Manhattan is amazing with Ruby port giving it a smooth edge. Service is great as well. You'll never want for more water, as there's always someone walking around with a pitcher. Atmosphere is dark & intimate too. I like the bar area as well.
