As a whole, the concert experiences I have had at Blossom Music Center have been phenomenal. Inside…read moreof the venue, there have been no issues, and the staff have always been kind, courteous, and helpful. That being said, the parking experience needs a massive overhaul. For starters, when I saw Evanescence this past July, I had purchased a mobile parking pass, thinking I would be receiving a physical copy in the mail (I did not, nor did I see an option to do so when purchasing a parking pass). When I finally reached the entrance, I had to constantly slow down, roll down my window, and show the mobile pass to the attendants, one of whom got a bit snippy with me. Why mobile parking passes are even an option, I'm not entirely certain, as they are utterly useless while driving in traffic. Other than the parking, there were no issues.

I cried five times. Wait! That happened because I was mesmerized by the talent of Jon Batiste…read more Sitting in the beautiful outdoor theater on a perfect summer night resulted in an unforgettable evening. We were lucky to have a parking pass that put us close to the pavillion. The hike down the hill was manageable (I was glad I wore my sneakers!). We had planned to dine in grand form. The dinner options ended up being a hamburger, veggie burger or fried chicken. Eating at a picnic bench suited those food choices. Kudos to the Cleveland Orchestra members who backed up the phenomenal soloist with impeccable precision. What a night!!

It's a tapas menu, so adjust your expectations for food quantity accordingly. We ordered the Brazilian cheese puffs (forgettable), the chicken souvlaki (really good!), and the carnitas street tacos (also really good!), plus a couple of beers. This was enough food for us. A pleasant, unfussy place. I'm still sorry I didn't buy a tee.

This review is only for their Sunday brunch, as I have never been here in any other capacity. Met…read moresome friends on a Sunday morning and were seated right away. The menu had several options so a couple of us had a hard time choosing but between the four of us we ended up getting the sunrise sammy, huevos enchiladas lasagna, mango bacon goat waffle, and poblano cheddar waffle, as well as a blueberry lemon scone and a coffee. I will say the coffee was pretty decent and the food came out quickly. Unfortunately however, none of us were impressed by our dishes. For the price, the size of the plates and the quality of the food was not worth it. The huevos had too much sauce and not enough spice, the hash browns were mushy, and the waffles were dry and flavorless. The blueberry lemon scone didn't have any lemon flavor at all and was like weirdly wet. The food sounded unique and delicious and we were all excited to try it but left disappointed. They also charge a 3% credit card fee. That said, our server was amazing and it was a cool spot so I'd check it out for music in the evenings, but brunch just fell flat for us.

The space is filled with amazing art for sale and tons of disco balls, which are completely my style. I couldn't stop taking it all in--I loved every detail! The cocktail we ordered was not only super fun but also absolutely delicious. The bartender was so kind, fun, and really added to the experience. This spot is perfect for a date or a night out with friends. Bonus: I found out there's going to be a DJ every Saturday night for the foreseeable future. If you're looking for a cool, unique place to hang out, Baxter's is definitely worth checking out! There's some pretty cool stuff goin on in Akron

They have a large selection of house wines as well as other brands. The server was kind but didn't seem very knowledgeable about the wine. All the dishes are enormous and meant to be shared. We shared the goat cheese with blackberry preserves and a Genoa flatbread and even with the three of us, we had a lot to take home with us. The duo and the flatbread were both incredible. The flatbread is actually two whole flatbreads and the dip was the size of a dinner plate. They were kind to get us an extra loaf of bread to go with the dip because we ran out. Their kitchen closed at 8 even though they were open until 9. That was about annoying because we considered ordering an additional dish but worked out fine since the dishes were so large.

The lady behind the bar graciously let my kids sit to watch and even got them set up with two Shirley Temples right away - nice.

They have a few beers on tap, some Ohio brews, but mostly big names. A lot of bottled domestics available as well as a bit selection of low to mid-shelf liquors. For entertainment, there's whoever's playing that night, as well as some TVs showing sporting events and then there are some pool tables and other games in the back. If you want any of that with some affordable drinks, this is the place for you.
