Our group of 13 friends decided to have our holiday dinner/gift exchange here on a Wed. nite after Xmas. Most of us had never been and wanted to try it. We made reservations at least 3 weeks in advance and upon arriving we were seated at a big table by the window, as requested. The good pretty much ends there. While perusing the menu we noticed that some of us had different ones. I had checked out the menu in advance online in the weeks prior and was kinda excited of the size and diversity of the menu. We questioned the server and were told that large parties were restricted to ordering off of the dinner menu only. Of course the most expensive and not very exciting. Had we sat in the lounge we could have ordered small plates, sandwiches, burgers, WEDGE salad(can't get that in the dining room) plus the full dinner menu. There is no mention of this RULE anywhere on the website or when we made the reservation. 20% gratuity on parties of 8 or more? No problem. Diff menu with no warning? On a Wed nite with practically no one in the place? Huge problem. All sides are also extra, even with a $30 steak; several dishes were brought out barely warm, there were inconsistent portion sizes of the same dish, service wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. My meal of mussels and lobster bisque was just OK.(Woulda got that steak if it would have come with SOMEthing) And we are not cheap. If we had lots of options and good service I'm betting we would've stayed longer, shared more food, had more drinks and spent more $$. As it was it seemed that we all couldn't wait to get out of there. Can't complain about the drinks though, they were good. Should've stayed in the bar but we didn't even know that was an option. Much better places to eat in the Akron area. Major disappointment.
