I've been fortunate enough to travel all over the world and dine at restaurants ranging from…read moreMichelin-starred establishments to hidden neighborhood gems. I can honestly say The Blue Door has earned a place among the very best meals I've ever had. What amazed me most wasn't just that every dish was delicious--it was that every single plate had its own identity. Nothing tasted repetitive or safe. Each course was thoughtfully composed with bold flavors, beautiful presentation, and combinations I never would have imagined working together... yet they absolutely did. Beyond the food, every plate looked like a work of art. You could tell the kitchen artists take immense pride in presentation without sacrificing flavor. The service was warm, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced. We never felt rushed, and every recommendation was spot on. If someone asked me where to experience one of the best dining experiences in Ohio, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. I'd tell them to drive to The Blue Door in Cuyahoga Falls. This wasn't just dinner. It was an experience.

It looked like it could have been good if it hadn't have sat out so long before it was brought to the table. Potatoes were cold. Toast was cold. Quiche was cold. The server, on the other hand, was incredible. He was attentive, friendly and a true star in our bad food experience. There were two of us, and the total for breakfast plus two coffees and tip was more than $70. Portions are huge. Ambiance was nice. Sad it didn't knock it out of the park.

I would have to say the best wings I've had, these really did stand out, and would say they are worth trying. They are a bit pricier than other places wings, but the flavor is there. What we really came here for was the burger, we've been trying every place that the Akron Beacon Journal did a tournament for to determine our own favorite, without nostalgia influencing our decisions. The burger was fantastic. The meat is seasoned well and the bread was soft and fluffy. The sauce tasted homemade and unique, but didn't take away from the burger. The pickles on it as well are homemade or made from a company nearby, but they're also very good and different than any you get at the store. I will definitely be back. This was very good on a day where we stopped at 3 places and this happened to be the last.

Everyone really enjoyed their dishes and the portions were enough. They had an excellent bar menu, though we just stuck with wine. Our server was very attentive and had lots of recommendations. I loved seeing a traditional carbonara on the menu as well... Often, a restaurant will just make this with a cream sauce and call it "carbonara", which is so wrong that it makes my Italian ancestors turn over in their graves. Though I did not get the carbonara this time, I will certainly try it next time. We also saw waiters preparing the table side, Cacio E Pepe, which looked really fun, but ultimately, I felt it was priced more for the experience than the actual food so I did not get that. We had reservations at 8:15 but arrived at 7:45 (planning on waiting at the bar for our friends to arrive ) and they were able to seat us right away. We also got a welcome bubbly drink upon arrival which was such an unexpected, fun, and friendly touch! The servers are very professional, but down to earth.

I recently visited a restaurant that was clearly feeling the effects of being understaffed, a situation many places are facing these days. However, despite the challenges, my experience was surprisingly positive. Lydia was the star of the show. She was the only one taking orders while another staff member served food, and they were upfront about the wait time. To my delight, they managed to get our orders out much quicker than expected. Lydia was not only efficient, but she also handled the rush with grace and professionalism. I asked her for an espresso martini, and she nailed it! It was delicious and exactly what I wanted. Even with the limited staff, the service was attentive and friendly, which made the little wait worthwhile. Overall, I appreciated the effort and dedication of the team, especially Lydia. I left feeling satisfied and impressed, despite the initial concerns about understaffing. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

If you're looking for a great hangout spot in Akron, look no further than Nomz. This charming restaurant offers an excellent Farmers Breakfast that is not only delicious but also incredibly affordable. The venue also has a great after-work vibe with local shops to also check out. One of my favorite rituals is visiting Nomz on a Saturday morning after a run on the nearby towpath. The atmosphere is always welcoming, with a fresh vibe that makes for a great hangout. The staff at Nomz are exceptionally friendly, ensuring that every visit is a pleasant experience. Another highlight is their rotating selection of local beers, which are always on-point. Nomz truly is an undiscovered gem in Akron. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates great food, a nice atmosphere, and excellent people. read more

Nomz is such a gem in Akron! I was so impressed by their plentiful vegan menu options--so many delicious choices that it was actually hard to decide. I also loved that after eating, you can wander around and browse the surrounding shops filled with unique items from local artists. It adds such a creative, community feel to the visit. The location itself is really nice too--perfect for grabbing a bite and then exploring a bit. Highly recommend Nomz if you're looking for great food, warm service, and a cool spot to spend some time! read more
