I had a really great experience here last week. We grabbed dinner here before we went to downtown Akron to see a play. While we asked for a view of the river (they did give it to us), it was sadly not able to be seen because it was dark and raining out. (I hope to go back in the summer/daylight hours for a better view). Our service was a little shaky at first, but then the server really came around and was super friendly by the end of the meal. We all ordered the small plates for dinner, which had plenty enough food. I got the salmon, and it was so delicious. The sauce and risotto that accompanied it - both amazing. Just the right amount of food too, and much easier on the pocketbook. I also got the soup of the day, which was perfect for the cold damp night. I can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu
