    What a hidden gem. They can make anything but ask Baxter to make you something. 3 business share the building so be sure to walk around.

    Popped in by chance. Visitors to Akron, and we were getting pizza to eat, a bartender next door recommended the live music downstairs. Incredibly impressed. Low key, solid music venue.

I had the spritz, which was good, but took over 30 minutes to receive even though we asked about it multiple times and everyone else at our table had received their drinks. My husband had an old fashioned which turned out to be only 5oz. The glass was not even half full. We all thought this had to be a mistake considering the cost and how poorly presented the drink was but the manager assured us that they measure properly. I think they should include this on the description because for $13, we were not expecting such a small drink. Our friends were not impressed with any of the drinks they ordered, either. My friend specifically ordered a double vodka shot in a short glass but received it in a tall glass, therefore watering down the drink. As for food, we shared the marinated feta appetizer and the charcuterie board. Both were good but the charcuterie only had one serving of meat (salami) and the rest were olives, peppers, cheese and grapes. For $19, we were expecting a little more. One of the cheeses, the largest portion, was a very spicy pepper cheese that none of us really enjoyed. The dip was very good - no complaints. We also ordered three pizzas. Our friend got the chicken pesto which he said was ok but nothing great. My husband got the short rib which he enjoyed. I did a make your own, which had literally no flavor at all. The crust was good but that was about it. I suppose that's my fault for picking the toppings but I thought it would taste better than it was. As for service - it was very slow and they were very inattentive. I wouldn't come back here or recommend it. I think as a restaurant that advertises for its drinks and pizza, both were lacking.

    Very nice better restaurant. Plan on a delicious meal with a drink and appetizer for about $150…read more There are steaks and seafoods. My favorite is the double pork chop. Hubs added a King Crab leg to his steak. Meals include a side. Brittany and her sidekick, Sam, knew the menu and kept the table clean. Happy hour is from 4-6 pm. There is also bottle wine discount night. Ask for a tour of the building. There are a lot of rooms to learn about. We like this venue.

They did such a great job of celebrating me for my birthday with a glass of wine and a birthday card waiting for me. I loved walking into this place. It had such a cool vibe. They had a ton of things that were gluten-free that made my life easier, including fried calamari and artichokes, which were delicious. I had the Chef special which was cod and orzo. The cod was probably the best I've had in a really long time. The bartenders were so friendly so nice and really good at suggesting menu items. They had an extensive drink menu and the smoked old-fashioned smelled amazing although I didn't get that. I wasn't 100% impressed with my drinks, but that had nothing to do with the way that they were made just my personal preference. The next time I'm back in Akron, I will be stopping at Alexander Pierce for another meal.

It's a small place and we thought we'd have to wait but luckily a couple were leaving so we got seats at the bar. It would have been worth the wait. We picked a couple drinks off the menu and they were incredibly beautiful and tasted divine. The pizza we ordered had anchovies and pepperoni and I swear it's the best wood fired pizza I've ever had. I wanted another drink and asked the bartender to make me a rum drink of their choice. Within minutes some amazing concoction, it was smoking inside a glass dome of some sort. The garnish was a flamed cinnamon stick and orange rind that looked like a sword. It was incredible. The vibe is nice and patrons are friendly. It's not loud, so you can carry on a conversation, and the music was nice. There is a cute little back room with tables too for groups of 2-4 people. Parking is plentiful on the street and nearby parking lots. Within walking distance of other bars and restaurants. Up and coming area. I can't recommend the Oak & Olive enough and I can't wait to go back.
