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

It breaks my heart how this place has devolved into middle school drama, where a mountain was made…read moreout of a mole hill. I used to game here for DnD but had to temporarily quit game, I recently found out a year ago I guess I made people uncomfortable during a game and I am not welcome at a table. None of this was brought to my attention when it happened, all I remember is one silly thing I would do that someone thought was excessive and I quit doing it (i.e., fart jokes). I followed all the game rules and was a courteous player. The DM never explained that I made someone/people uncomfortable nor anything was discussed with me, no clear communication. I was looking for a table months ago to come back to in discord, nothing was mentioned. I messaged multiple DMs over the year and once again, nothing mentioned. Yesterday I ask to join a one-shot game and I received a private message from someone at my old table a year ago saying they don't want to game with me but no actual explaination of why. I messaged the owner and that's how I found out about all this clicky, childish, petty behavior with terrible communication. A bunch of full grown adults with control issues, clutching their man-pearls and being avoidant, he-motional, testerical men. The owner cannot even tell me why I was banned from DnD, he doesn't remember what I did! This place is a joke, I can't believe this is happening to me and I am never going back, even if they say I can come back and game. It's obvious someone wants me out and if I come back then I will be walking on egg shells until I finally get banned; very much high school drama from grown adults. Play Dungeons and Dragons somewhere else, if you can, it's not worth the risk. You could be playing a great game and spending money, thinking everything is ok but then if a DM doesn't like you then you will be treated the same way I was. It happened to me then it can happen to you. I was told I play DnD different, not wrong, not in an uncomfortable way, and that lead to me being banned without being told. Play at your own risk. Also this place has always had issues with getting waited on in a timely manner, overpriced food coming out late and sometimes orders getting messed up. I used to look past it but moving forward I won't be so forgiving of places anymore. I have no time and money for overpriced petty.

I drive past San Marino almost daily but had never stopped in. Italian usually isn't something I go…read moreout of my way for, but after seeing their homemade fettuccine Alfredo featured in a video, it basically summoned me. Our Sunday dinner started a little rocky. It took 5+ minutes to see our server, the kitchen was apparently backed up, and the Watermelon Mojito advertised on the new cocktail menu wasn't available. The Long Island, however, was excellent. From there, things began to improve. The bread was light and airy with an herb dipping oil, and the house salad was fresh mixed greens with a really good house-made Italian dressing. The Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo was the star. Fresh, al dente pasta with a rich, creamy, garlicky sauce and a well-seasoned, crispy chicken cutlet. Absolutely delicious. Melissa loved her Chicken Parmesan with gnocchi. When we asked for extra red sauce, they made it fresh and brought out a warm bowl a few minutes later -- BIG points for that. Our server also became much more attentive and personable once things settled down. A shaky start, but San Marino definitely finished strong. After driving past it countless times for years, I'm already looking forward to stopping again.

We've been skeptical about San Marino for a while, but after seeing a food review from an…read moreinfluencer who travels the country, we finally decided to give it a try. So glad we did! It was pretty busy for a Sunday at 6:30pm, but we were seated immediately. Our server took a little while to get to us, but quickly apologized and gave us a heads-up that food would take a bit longer because they were so busy. We appreciated the honesty. The table bread and dipping oil were tasty and definitely helped hold us over. I did try to order a watermelon mojito they were advertising on a TV inside the dining room but I was told they no longer had them. So I stuck with water. For dinner, I ordered the chicken Parmesan gnocchi with a side salad and their house Italian dressing. The salad was fresh and delicious (and not a shred of iceberg lettuce!) and the house made Italian dressing was very tasty. It was a golden Italian that had a nice flavor. My gnocchi was AWESOME -- tender, airy and full of flavor, and the chicken cutlet was delicious. I asked for extra sauce because I like my pasta saucy, and they brought me a gravy boat full of freshly made, piping-hot sauce! Turns out their sauces are made to order, which was such a nice surprise.and wellllll worth the wait. Prices were a little higher than I expected, but you can tell the food is made fresh and with care. There's definitely some love going into these dishes. I was a little discouraged in the beginning from the rough start but it all worked itself out and we left really happy that we finally gave San Marino a shot. There are several other things on the menu we both want to try, so we'll definitely be back!

This is the only jazz bar I've been to so maybe what I'm about to say is typical for jazz clubs but the only thing I really dislike about coming here is that the audience tends to chit chat the entire time.

This is a family owned restaurant. I got to meet the cook (Tiffany's mom) and i can tell this family takes pride in what they do. I will DEFINITELY be back.
