Gorgeous restaurant. Tried one mocktail and two cocktails (including the “surprise roulette” Casino Royale) and all three were outstanding with balanced, nuanced flavors. My husband and I split two apps, a salad, an entree, and a dessert. Again, all were exceptional - beyond the basic menu description of what they would be, we felt the execution of each elevated the dish to be truly noteworthy. A special place - can’t wait to return!

We went to celebrate a family birthday. The food was spectacular, as was our server Molly. There was a delicious selection of specialty cocktails and mocktails. The plush seats, dark wood and moody wallpaper made us feel like we stepped back in time. Jighly recommend. I would advise suggest to the management of the entire complex of restaurants and shops to take care of their sidewalks. There was a massive amount of smow with nowhere to walk but the street and the parking lot.

The atmosphere was amazing perfect speak-easy aesthetic and the music was amazing perfect mellow jazz. I got a few drinks with the meal which were amazing! I would recommend you get any of their cocktails! The appetizers were very good the duck croquette was great i would recommend you get it.
The bad part of the meal was my main for the price of the steak it was a poor cut very fatty and i ask for medium and it was closer to medium rare/ rare

A True Hidden Gem.
This restaurant is an absolute surprise — a true fine-dining gem tucked away. Once you step inside, you completely forget what’s outside. The atmosphere is elegant, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed, creating a truly upscale dining experience. The owner is incredibly kind and clearly passionate about delivering excellent service. You can feel the care and pride in every detail. The food is outstanding — beautifully plated, full of bold, balanced flavors, and made with high-quality ingredients. Every course was memorable, and the service was attentive without being overwhelming. It’s rare to find such an exceptional restaurant in an unexpected location, but this place absolutely delivers. Highly recommended!

While the food was pretty good (except for weird attempted to be fancy strawberry (they were actually blackberries) shortcake - don't get that please, we literally have never had service this awful at this level! Never been to the place that don't say congratulations if you are celebrating something and you note it on your reservation. Not a single smile! Treated as inconvenience the whole time. Not sure if they though because we are a little younger than 50-60 we could not pay for all the courses - which we did! I noted we are there for anniversary, they seated us at the table with dirty floor (very dirty for that matter), draft from the door and where everyone was going in and out the kitchen! I was upset since it's our 15th anniversary (and note to the restaurant most people of our age with children put a lot of effort to go out and have hard time getting usually very expensive baby sitters) so some customer appreciation or at least a single congratulations would have been nice! Instead ... grumpy faces, disappeared coats.... Still not sure why we just did not leave before dinner.... I guess we felt stuck since it took so much planning and coordinating with kids activities and babysitting to even be there and had to book little later hour. Not to mention even though I was little grumpy about the table we got initially we then did not make single complaint. Still zero appreciation for being their customers. Just horrible....

This is hands down the best restaurant in Akron/Cleveland. Between the food, drinks and atmosphere. There is nothing close in the area that will come close. Well worth it!!

An awesome spot to grab dinner. Everything was delicious, from the mushroom toast appetizer to the dessert. The highlights for me were the sticky toffee pudding and the wine list. The moulin-a-vent they have at $40 is a steal.

This is easily the best meal we have had in years in Akron. We had the rabbit gnocchi, pork chop, walleye, and cauliflower soup. Highly recommend this restaurant! We will be back.
We expected more reading the reviews and we were disappointed from the food and the service.

The atmosphere was beautiful. The food was amazing, every bite was better than the last one. I will definitely be back to try more from this chapter and can't wait to see what's on the next chapter.

Celebrated birthday with my mother, very nice atmosphere. The fish is a little dry and the pork belly is a little too fatty when it's served as a whole piece. The sauce of the octopus is very savory and the sauce served with the fish is very refreshing and the miso dish is very perfect

Recently, my wife and I, along with another couple, had the pleasure of dining at Stirling, following a recommendation. We began our meal by sharing the Snapper Ceviche and dates stuffed with goat cheese, both of which were delightful starters. The restaurant offered a nice, quiet environment that wasn't overcrowded, allowing us to enjoy our evening comfortably. The menu was concise, fitting on one side of a page, which made choosing our dishes straightforward. Our waiter was exceptional—knowledgeable and attentive throughout the evening, enhancing our dining experience. For our main courses, I opted for the Duck Breast, while my wife chose the Short Rib. Our friends also enjoyed the Short Rib and tried the Halibut. Each dish was incredibly flavorful, though the portions were modest. While I don't expect a single serving to feed a family of six, I did find myself reaching for a snack about an hour later. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Stirling and look forward to visiting again soon.
