Alexander Pierce Restaurant

We had an amazing time at Alexander Pierce for our date night. This was one of the best meals we've had in a long time. For starters, we ordered the calamari as well as oysters. My wife made the comment that it was the best calamari she's ever had. It was absolutely delicious. I then had a Small Caesar salad and the Ribeye for my entree. You could tell that the ribeye was very high quality as it melted in my mouth on every bite. It was also cooked exactly how I ordered it, medium rare. The drink selection was extensive and we were able to identify a few and we're not disappointed. As for the service, our waitress was very attentive and helped guide us through our food and drink selections. The ambiance of the restaurant was very cool and gave off an old school Italian vibe. They even had this little cigar lounge area that I was able to indulge in after our meal.I can honestly say it was the perfect spot for date night and we will definitely be back to try many of the entrees we had a hard time passing on for the first go round.

I am thoroughly underwhelmed. The vesper martini is interesting because it has lemon juice which is overpowering. The interior reminds me of old Las Vegas (but the quality fell substantially short). I am not a fan of this fine dining restaurant having paper over the table and the server writing their name in crayon.The French onion soup smelled great, but was disappointing. I think the onions could have been caramelized more and the broth reduced more because it tasted thin/watery. The soup didn't have any layers of flavor; even though I was told it took 4 days to make, it tasted as if a carton of beef broth was warmed with dried rosemary and onions and then served. When I first tasted the soup, it tasted like watered down Stouffer's stove top stuffing. The filet was so chewy and not like any prime steak I've had. It was not tender whatsoever. It was not enjoyable. I ate it just because I was hungry and not because I liked it.The scallops that I added were the best part of the meal.The creamy espresso martini is also very good and made me not leave fully disappointed. I booked it saying I had a special occasion but nobody asked me about it. I was looking forward to a spectacular meal, but I left extremely disappointed. The best part about eating here is the free parking.EDIT: Thank you for responding to my review. While I do understand checking on your guests (the service was good and not mentioned in my review), what would it have added to comment on that when I'm commenting on the dishes I received in the moment? I would not have been served a better or true prime steak; I would not have been served a delicious French onion soup. How would you address my concerns about the food?

We chose Alexander Pierce for our wedding anniversary. We normally have our go to special occasion restaurants. However, we wanted to try something new.First impression, it was a little hard to locate as it's tucked away. Our gps took us to an upper parking lot that belonged to an apartment. Luckily, there was a sign that noted AP parking below so I'm assuming this happens frequently. Overall, it was a good experience. Everyone was super friendly. Upper management checked on us a few times to ensure that our dining experience was good. Our waiter was very charismatic. The food and drinks were excellent. However, a couple things that led to a 4 star review. We were seated at 7 and didn't receive our drinks until almost 7:40. I understand the bar was busy but almost 40 minutes for a drink is long. The other thing, price. We frequent many upscale establishments. However, I've never seen where a restaurant itemizes everything. I ordered a dirty martini. They charged for a drink, then an up charge for grey goose. Then 60 cents for each olive. It's minor and maybe I've never noticed this before as most restaurants just charge one price and don't show an itemization. It was just a little off putting to see an itemization especially for garnishes. All in all, we will probably return in the future for drinks and apps as it's very close to the house. However, I don't know if we will do dinner again.

This could be one of the coolest hidden gems in this city. I was brought here by my work colleague (aka "the boss") who recently was here and had a tour of what they offer. Before I dive into dinner, I'll tell you that they have rooms to stay in, permanent residents in the building, a gym, smaller areas for meetings, smaller more intimate rooms for dining or movie watching, a private speakeasy with cigar bar...just amazing.Now let's get to dinner. Our server Brittany provided a robust specials option and explained the menu so it wasn't so daunting. She was fantastic! I started with the French onion soup. I am not exaggerating when I say that this was the most flavorful broth I've ever had. I inhaled the soup. I had the cavatelli al Burro but no mushrooms. Hand made noodles. Fresh vegetables. Added two jumbo shrimp (blackened- another recommendation from Brittany, thank you!) there was also not a bite left.No room for dessert but I know that if I'm ever back in town, I'd love to try some other things like their steaks and seafood! Thanks to the team here for an amazing dinner. I'll be back-

Perfect. During the Pro Football Hall of Fame weekend we made reservations for 20. A private room was suggested with a $300 deposit that went toward food and beverages. The room was beautiful. The service, using at least three people, was impeccable. We were given a reduced menu and specials. We did order appetizers over the phone from the website which moved things along. Handicapped accessible, the bathrooms were across the hall. This venue has a lot to offer. Ask for a tour following dinner. It's short, and amazing. The restaurant is accessible was the rear of an office type of building. Park near the back. Walk through the patio to the main doors. The name of the restaurant is the names of the owners two sons. So cool.

I have been here twice and had the filet the first time and seafood pasta the second. Both were outstanding. This visit we tried the baked Alaska and my wife loved it. Enough said. Service is excellent and small details are important. One example is the glasses are polished to perfection- see the pictures. The restaurant is behind the building. They have a great entrance and a rat pack vibe, old school style. Highly recommended

Food is phenomenal. Ambiance is esthetically pleasing. Staff is friendly. Service can be slow, but worth it. I've never had a bad anything here. Thank you!

Food was divine! Be sure to try the white french dressing with your salad! Our waitress Desiree was very attentive and personable. Will definitely ask for her on our next visit!

We loved to atmosphere and the delicious food. The mussels and scallops were fantastic!

Went for the Dracula Dinner. The pre fixed menu was not even edible. The service was bad and for 2 people they put on an automatic 20% gratuity when at the bottom of the receipt it says they do so with parties of 8 or more. Reached out to number for issues on receipt and no one even replied back. So disappointing since I work in Akron and have always recommended this to clients and customers.
