"from the Get-Go this was not the best experience. we arrived 10 minutes early for our reservation, which we booked through Open-Table. first they could not find our reservation, but as soon as they did, we were told that our table would be ready in « a moment. » I understood that we would sit in a short distance. I saw 3 empty tables, all on separate locations that were completely set. these tables remained approx. 40 minutes unoccupied. When I asked why we haven't been sitting, I got a snapping answer that it was a busy day and that everyone waited another 30-40 minutes. interestingly, guests were told without reservations that the waiting period was « about 20 minutes. » after my request I was quickly seated. a few that had arrived at us for about 5 minutes, without reservation, sat at the same time. By the way, these 3 tables were not occupied when we crossed them. we sat on a table that was not yet set up. there were serviettes and knives, but no glasses, no forks, spoons, menus. we ordered calamari, chickensuppaki and rindersuppaki. the calamari was quickly brought to our table shockley. it was not particularly delicious on its own faust, but it was served with a very tasteful tzatziki sauce. the sauce was overwhelming garlic-y. next came main plates that were rice, Greek salate and a spiced kartoffel, with our choice of meat. reis was good, perfectly flavored, perfectly boiled. salat was good, tasty and fresh, although the red bevel could have been tinted a little down. He was awful. I actually had to wait until our server came by so I could get some water to swallow the huh. it tasted tasteless and had no moisture on it. I wouldn't order that huh definitiw again. the bark, was a little more tender? but ultimately there was no taste. to dessert we tried her tiramisu, which was good. in fact it was the best part of the meal. final bill: $130, for this price I expect much better:"

"Unfortunately, this was our first time. Honestly, we would 've tried it much sooner if the sign didn 't look, well, fishy. The combination of the name, the sign and the restaurant hill location, which these days raises a red flag to most Akronites, sadly kept us away. We finally tried it b/c a friend said it was actually fine dining. Curiosity got the better of me, and boy am I glad it did! Fantastic service from start to finish (which sadly)we don 't find much in Akron these days. Each course was exquisite, probably the best damn martini (Belvedere) I 've ever had...crafted superbly. The bread fantastic. The manager stopped by our table to check on us after our entrees arrived...the temperature was perfect, the music was perfect, the decor and atmosphere fabulous! After our meal, I inquired w/the server, who owned the restaurant? Who the chef was, etc.? She explained it was the same group that owns The Blue Point in CLE, as well as other superb restaurants. My husband and I glanced at each other a knowing look...ahh, this explains everything! I wish they would 've just said so...! If that sign had read The BluePoint South (It 's South of CLE the cuisine has a bit of a Southern twist), We would 've been there the week it opened! I mentioned this to many friends and they muttered the same sentiments, they 'll be trying it now. My biggest regret is that we haven 't been dining here since it opened!!"
