Best Live Music Restaurants in Akron

Overall stellar experience. We came here for my mother's retirement party, and I want to give a special shoutout to Emily for taking our details and customizing our menus with her name, but also our knowledgeable server/bartender Kyle for answering our questions and being very attentive, etc. Our party of four had the sea bass, antelope and acorn squash soup for appetizers, and the duck, cod, scallops and waygu. For dessert, the mont blanc (mouse/chocolate/apple (?) crust) dessert, and a dessert that was a cookie, a lining of marshmallow and something else. Cannot remember the name. But standing out was the lineup of drinks, and I say this as someone who generally is a purist (no mixed drinks) with alcohol. I did have some scotch, but also had a Cary Grant (the one with Bulleit Rye), Frank Sinatras and the sweeter Marilyn Monroe. All extremely well done. Kris Kringles (vodka, rum and some pistachio liqueur combo?) were also good. My brother and I are from out of town, but if we can find a way back here and another reason to celebrate another milestone, we will absolutely find our way back here. Only recommendation I have is maybe to carry one of the local spirits, but really no bother otherwise. Shoutout again to Emily and Kyle for making our experience one to remember.

Party of 16 but on 2 separate tables so was hard for all of family to share in conversation. Website stated 15% gratuity on larger parties (over 10 I think) but we were charged 20% when the bill came.

Another enjoyable dinner. I had the scallops and my wife had the chicken. Everything was paired tastefully. We also order a side of broccoli in cheese sauce which went well with both our dinners. Service was very good and while we would say the noise level was moderate we were able to have good conversation which is always a plus to us.

After a few years not dining at The Log Cabin, we returned for our 48th anniversary. The booth room was where we last celebrated so we returned there. There are 3 booths and two tables - all were occupied by couples celebrating their anniversaries. My wife had Pasta Primavira, I had the Salmon Oscar. Both were outstanding. Being non- drinkers I can not comment regarding the libations and the server was excellent as we're all the staff, efficient and friendly. As we finished with coffee, a local roast, Whiff coffee roaster which was very good, the owner of the restaurant made his way around the dining rooms and spoke with each couple. Not just in passing but had actual conversations at each stop, ending with an invitation to explore the facility and look around. Very impressive. The prices are not for the faint hearted but in keeping with a fine dining experience. The decor has been redone and refreshed from the last time we were here; it seems brighter and yet intimate at the same time. We will renew our anniversary tradition at the Log Cabin going forward and more than likely bring family and friends for those special dinner celebrations ahead.

We always enjoy eating at Funck’s. Our service was great. The food was very good. I just wish the lobster tacos came with a side of something. Tortilla chips would have been great to add some crunch and interest.
