Dined with another couple two weeks ago and had a fantastic experience! We have been meaning to come to Akron to try this place and finally did it. The staff is 5 star +. They are friendly and do a great job. Our server was Natalie and she was excellent. Answered all our questions and she was backed up by excellent support staff. Everything we ordered from apps, drinks, meals was perfect.

This is the best experience I've ever had dining, anywhere. I can not explain how great the food was. From the second I walked through the door, during appetizers, entrée, and even the desert that i took to go, it was an experience I've will never forget. Our waitress Rachel was the best. She made the experience even better. She explained the menu and the specials with exact precision. I wish all waitress/waiters had the professionalism that she showed to us. I highly and I mean highly recommend this place for all your dining desires. Rachel, i want to thank you, thank you, and tell you that you're doing a great job ,because without people like you, these places would close their doors. My second experience at AP was even more perfect than the first time. We had the same great server that we had the first time. Rachel really goes above and beyond her duties to ensure you have a great dining experience. Her professionalism and knowledge of the menu is top notch. She has a great knowledge of wines and customer care. I wanted to give her another shout-out for being such a great server and an all-around good person. Thank you again, Rachel, for making our meal even more special. I want to let her know that she puts in 110% and that she is killing it. Great job, I give a 12 out of 10.

First, let me say that I was impressed with the owner engaging with guests. She was outgoing and very personable. My guy and I went here for a date night. The service was good, food was okay. I was not impressed with the cocktail offerings compared to other steakhouses. Drinks were very basic, not very flavorful, my second drink was a very basic lemon drop martini which was very blah. The specials for the evening seemed to just be options grouped together to increase cost without any adjustments in pricing. Food was overly salty, so if you have cardiac concerns I would steer clear. It took us about two hours to get our entrees. Desserts were just as good, I mean bad, as the cocktails. The booth that we sat in was sinking in the middle and should probably be replaced. I’m 150 pounds so I’m sure that someone heavier would have really been uncomfortable. $400+ later wishing I would have gone elsewhere. Would I return, maybe if they offered happy hour with promotional pricing. I’m fine with paying whatever to eat wherever as long as the price matches the experience.

My husband and I had a lovely, delicious dining experience here last night. We came from out of town and were truly impressed with everything. Brittany was our server - she was upbeat, friendly, welcoming, and kind. The food was outstanding and portions were more than generous. Highly recommend and hope we land in Akron again to come back!

I am speechless or in awe of what my husband & I believe to be THE BEST RESTAURANT we have eaten at to date September 7th, 2024. It was the perfect meal for my birthday, perfect service, romantic, moody decor (which I happen to love), incredible drinks, exemplary on all counts. I was greeted with birthday wishes as they knew I was celebrating & even given complimentary glasses of champagne for my bday. The waitress Rebecca was not only knowledgeable but friendly, patient, excellent on her recommendations & without doubt you could tell she loves her job. This restaurant sets an entirely new level of dining for us. We spent a little over 2 hours & it was so lovely that we wanted to stay a little longer. They even offered a quick tour of the restaurant which we loved & took them up on the offer. We were even given a card with the owner’s information & encouraged to give a review. —- This is a restaurant that should have a Michelin star (for those who are foodies will know). I will give them the Biegacki star of approval!!! Perfection, exquisite, excellent, delicious, chefs who love their jobs, owners who love people & love what they do. Waitresses & bartenders & greeters who are trained to make customers happy. What a way to celebrate my bday & began another year! Thanks to my sweet husband who brought to this place & treated me to such a great experience and dinner.

From start to finish, this place is absolutely amazing! The food, service, and hospitality is top notch! I highly recommend the filet topped Oscar style. Can’t wait to go back!

Our first time at Alexander Pierce tonight. From the moment we walked in everyone was fantastic. The food was excellent!! Jason was our server and he was the best server we have ever had. Very friendly and knowledgeable. The host / coat guy was also super friendly. What a great experience - we will be back. Thank you so much!!
Jim Frye
Wow!! What a wonderful experience. It all started with our server, Heather. She not only provided an excellent description of the selections, but also some great combination ides. I had salmon, medium rare - perfect. A side order of King Crab - exceptional. My wife had the scallops, they were outstanding. The Au Gratin potatoes were the best. Huge Carrot Cake. We will definitely be new regulars. Wonderful atmosphere, like an old "Speak Easy".
