    A great First Impression Worth Revisiting soon! We went to Olinda with some friends to check out this new addition to GV restaurant group, and overall it was a really pleasant experience across the board. The staff was amazing and the food was genuinely great. My one minor note, the risotto was a bit undercooked for my liking, though the flavor was fantastic. Honestly, I think that's just the new restaurant feeling they're still finding rhythm, and I wouldn't hold it against them at all. Here's my biggest takeaway: load up on appetizers and skip straight past the entrees. The variety, the portion sizes, the flavors!!! I was a huge fan of their fries, and not greasy at all. We split several apps and entrees trying to cover the menu, and in hindsight I'd go all-in on the starters next visit. The sauerkraut balls are some of my favorites I've had in a long time...ordering those again. We also tried the goat cheese cigar rolls, which were tasty, though a little heavy on the cheese for my taste. That said, if goat cheese is your thing, don't skip them. Planning to go back and will definitely be doing a full appetizer run next time. Highly recommend giving this place a shot while it's still new.

    Hamburger, feta/tomato salad, Ciao Bella white wine, bar area, pretty outdoor dining area (too cold this afternoon)

    We needed a quick, delicious meal this evening about 5:30 pm. We also wanted something close to where we were shopping. Olinda close to Buehler's was a GREAT choice. Apparently they've been open 3 months. A spacious, and attractive place - same owners as Twisted Olive. Great new option for Stark County! We ate at the bar because the tables were all booked until 7:15 pm and we needed food sooner. Doug the bartender was kind, quick, and pleasant. We both had a delicious glass of white wine: Ciao Bella We ordered the hamburger and it was SOOO good. Hit the spot. Instead of fries I had another option for the side - a feta and tomato salad (also has small slices of red onion in it and a yummy marinade). Fresh and different. We paid the bill, said goodbye to Doug, and we were on our way. We'll be back again when we're in town.

    Olinda Butter Rolls and Seasonal Sangria

    I attended soft opening for Olinda, the highly anticipated new restaurant by Gervasi Destinations! The expectations of a luxe, highly curated, gorgeous environment were definitely met. The space is gorgeous! One side features dining tables, while the other is their pours bar. Their wine, cocktail, and pours list is sure to have something for everyone! The menu has both simple items for the pickiest of eaters (everyone likes a good burger and fries right?!), but also has varying unique items too! Everything I tried was delicious! My order: -Seasonal Sangria -Olinda Butter Rolls; These came with Lavender Honey Butter which I was skeptical about at first, but the lavender wasn't overpowering at all. The Rolls were warm and moist - highly recommend! -Pecorino Chicken; The flavors worked together so nice and the breading stayed on the chicken, so good! -Warm Butter Cake; this was perfect and a must order! For being in their soft opening, service ran very smooth and perfectly timed between courses! Service was friendly. Check this place out! Tip: They also do weekend brunch and reservations are available on Open Table.

    Excellent Experience! Went at 4:00 on a Monday for dinner. Tables were 75% full by 5:00. Great crowd on a Monday! The decoder and ambiance were beautiful and eclectic. Very well done. The food and service did not disappoint. We had an a signature cocktail, appetizer, meal, and dessert and never felt rushed by the server. The veggie crispy rice was very tasty and unique. We had the Shrimp Risotto and the Pecorino Chicken with roasted redskins and broccolini. Both were excellent. Chocolate chip cookie with ice cream for dessert. Definitely a welcomed dining experience that our area will support.

    Great start for just opening! Had a wonderful meal for brunch. Beautiful restaurant and great food. Can't wait to come back for dinner! You can tell they're still working out some kinks but everyone was so nice and attentive!

    Chicken dish very good only thing is the broccoli could use more seasoning

While we have gotten together periodically over the years, this was our first get-together since COVID. So, we had a lot of catching up to do. All of this to say that the staff at Astoria Grill was superb. Reservation was for 6:30, but the other couple was running 30 minutes late. No problem - my wife and I were seated...none of that "you must have your entire party to be seated" nonsense. No rushing or pressuring us to order so they could turn-over the table. Our waitress, Morgan, was THE BEST! She read our table, understood the vibe, and knew how to pace our evening. Attentive without being overbearing, fun and conversational without being insincere, and knowledgeable and helpful without being over bearing. We will be asking for one of her tables during our next visit. We lost track of time and stayed past the 10 pm closing, but were never once told we needed to depart. It was as close to eating at your own supper table at home as you could get. I haven't ever experienced more gracious hospitality at a restaurant. Food and Drinks: A+ on all fronts. Cocktails, bourbons, wine, and waters were all dispatched timely and accurately, as we asked for a couple of minor adjustments to the cocktails. The food was sublime and portions were generous. Take home boxes were the norm for our group. Filet, Delmonico, pizza, and vegetable pasta dishes were all wonderfully prepared, served hot, and came with well-proportioned side dishes. My Parmesan Risotto was done to "Gordon Ramsey" perfection (we all know how he is a stickler for risotto). The steaks were expertly seasoned and cooked, perfect charring. The desserts and post dinner drinks capped off our ideal evening. My chocolate cake was dense without being cloying, with a creamy consistency topped with just the right amount of raspberry piping. Thanks Astoria staff for the terrific evening!

First things first: walking to our table felt a little like an unintentional balance challenge. The floor was a bit slick, so I grabbed onto the railing... only to discover the end post was apparently just resting there and not actually secured. It popped right off Not exactly the grand entrance we planned, but definitely a conversation starter. Once seated, though, the place really shines. The ambience is fantastic--warm, inviting, and set on a gorgeous property that makes you want to linger. Our waitress was attentive and friendly all night. She gave us a heads-up that the kitchen was short-staffed, so dinner took about 20 minutes longer than expected, but the transparency helped. And the food? Worth the wait. The lasagne was comically large (like, half a sheet pan large), the short ribs were fall-apart tender and delicious, and those garlicky rolls were dangerously good. Drinks were a mixed bag--some of the group swore by the extra dirty martinis, while one friend struck out twice trying different cocktails. All in all, this place has a lot going for it: great atmosphere, solid food, and a setting that feels a little special. My only wish is that it were closer to Cleveland so I could justify coming back more often.
