Only one waitress in the place, and a long table of seemingly local people were there before us, but we got served first. Yay!

Definitely diner decor. There were a decent number of people eating. Seemed to be a mix of Bfast and lunch meals being served. Also seemed like a lot of regulars because employees were spending time talking to certain tables. We got the roast beef open face with gravy and mashed potatoes, the patty melt with onion rings, and the BBQ burger with fries. The roast beef was bland. Needed more seasoning. The 2 burgers were well done. We both liked them medium rare. But we weren't asked how we like them cooked when we ordered. Onion rings were breaded and only got about 5. Fries were abundant and fresh cut. Much better than the onion rings. Overall the food was just average if not slightly below average. Prices were good. Parking plentiful. Service was not great. No one asked us if we wanted refills or to check on us. We had to ask for our check after we waited awhile. Probably not a repeat.

Finally made it to Ido Bar & Grill for Lobster Fest after hearing so many good things, and now I…read moreunderstand the hype! We had reservations and arrived to a fully set table waiting for us. There was a small hiccup with drinks taking a while to reach the table, but the manager noticed and immediately stepped in. The food was outstanding. We shared the Lobster Stuffed Mushrooms, and I ordered a lobster tail with a cup of Lobster Bisque. The bisque was rich, creamy, buttery and legitimately LOADED with large chunks of lobster. One of the best I've had. My lobster tail was huge, tender and perfectly cooked, with none of the rubbery texture you sometimes get. Even better, the melted butter comes to the table kept warm over a candle. Others at our table had the Lobster & Steak Alfredo, which came loaded with big pieces of lobster and beautifully seared steak. I attempted to sample said steak, but my girlfriend apparently considered it a protected resource. Lobster Fest genuinely felt like a little coastal seafood experience in the middle of Akron. Great first visit to Ido, and definitely not my last. I'm already looking forward to trying their regular menu and other seasonal specials!

Have you ever had a meal that you're STILL thinking about days later?…read more Yeah. This was that meal for me. I've lived in the Akron area my entire life and have known about Ido Bar & Grill for more than 20 years. And somehow, in all that time, I had never been inside. Not once. It just never really caught my attention. Then Lobster Fest happened. My boyfriend started seeing their ads all over Facebook and got curious. He asked in a few Facebook groups and on his personal page if it was actually worth trying, and the response was pretty much unanimous: GO. So we grabbed another couple of friends, made a reservation, and finally walked through the doors. First impressions? I was genuinely surprised by how large the restaurant is inside. It's beautifully decorated, comfortable, and has a completely different feel than I had pictured after driving past it all these years. I started with the Summertini, which was delicious, but honestly...the drinks were just the opening act. THE FOOD. I've only ever had lobster once before--a tiny bite that I remember being surprisingly good. I'd never had enough to actually order a full lobster dish, so I decided Lobster Fest was the perfect excuse to change that. My meal came with a side salad and I'm a huge fan of White French dressing so I was very happy to hear that was their house dressing. The salad was a nice blend of greens with fresh shaved cheddar and delicious house made croutons! The salad was a great start to my meal!!! For my entree, I went with the Lobster & Steak Fettuccine, and I am so glad I did. The portion was HUGE, and the Alfredo was exactly what I want Alfredo to be: rich, creamy, cheesy and loaded with garlic. And there was PLENTY of it. No sad, dry pasta happening here. The steak was seasoned perfectly and cooked just right, and there was a generous amount of lobster throughout the dish. Every bite was better than the last. And apparently, I wasn't the only one at the table making good decisions. The Lobster Bisque was absolutely packed with lobster. The Lobster Stuffed Mushrooms were delicious, and my boyfriend ordered the lobster tail and was completely obsessed with it. Basically, there wasn't a bad decision made at our table. The funniest part of the whole experience is realizing that I've apparently been sleeping on a fantastic Akron restaurant for TWENTY YEARS. ‍ I'm honestly a little annoyed with myself. But I intend to make up for lost time. We'll absolutely be back--not just for another featured menu (a lot of people suggested their Mardi Gras menu), but to work our way through the regular menu, too. After one visit, I already have a list of things I want to try. So, Ido Bar & Grill...you've officially gone from "that restaurant I've driven past for 20 years" to "why the hell didn't I come here sooner?" Apparently, sometimes it takes a Facebook ad and a little peer pressure to discover what's been right under your nose the whole time. If you've been considering trying it, take this as your sign.
