My wife and I have been to a lot of steak places, but Lanning's Steakhouse has become one of our go-to spots lately. Here’s why we think it’s special:First off, the steaks here are always spot on. They’ve got this sauce that goes with the filet, and honestly, it’s just the right touch. We used to live on the east coast where oysters were a big deal, and we’re picky about them. The Blue Point oysters at Lanning's? Top-notch. They’re one of the few places we trust to get oysters fresh.They do a Caesar salad that’s a bit different from what you might expect, but in a good way. And those homemade croutons they throw in are amazing. I get the salad just to have those. Everything we’ve tried here has been great, no exceptions.What makes a big difference for us, though, is the service. The people here know how to take care of you. They get what fine dining is supposed to be like. Plus, they’ve recently remodeled the bar lounge area, and we really enjoy dining on that side of the fence now. It feels just right.The owners are around a lot, too. They make it a point to say hi, thank you, and make you feel like you’re more than just another customer. It’s nice to see that kind of attention in a place.With all the fancy restaurant choices around, Lanning's has quickly become one of our favorites. Great food, great service, and a place where they make you feel like family. That’s hard to beat.

I took my wife and in-laws to Lannings for my in-laws 63rd wedding anniversary. My wife and I had been there about a month ago, and had a wonderful meal with excellent service. This visit did not disappoint. Dean, the owner stopped by and thanked us for coming and congratulated my in-laws. The shrimp cocktail appetizer was giant and very tasty. We had three 10oz filets that were cooked perfectly and one scampi that my mother-in-law said was excellent. Sides of mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, and mushrooms were all excellent. The restaurant recognized my in-laws special occasion with a card and complementary dessert for both of them. Thanks Dean Martin's Lannings for an wonderful meal and experience.

So far above the rest! This restaurant from start to finish is the entire dining experience personified! From the convenience of the valet and coat check, to the host who always makes certain that you are welcome to be there, this dining experience is old school full service. The food is exceptional, steaks are cooked to perfection the way a steak should be cooked and full of flavor. Seafood is always fresh, sharable sides are generous and some of the best I have ever had. Just like with everything else every attention to detail at Lanning's is carefully paid attention to. Its a group effort here and it shows. If you are looking for a true first class dining experience and top notch food that is worth every penny.. Dean Martin's Lanning's is an absolute must go!

We have been to Lanning’s many times throughout the years. Last night was the first since the new owners. It was above and beyond as it always has been. Three of us in our family have March birthdays and we were each given a complimentary dessert. The best cheesecake ever served in a restaurant!I only order steak at Lanning’s. Phenomenal and cuts like butter! My husband had the aged bone in ribeye flambéed at the table!We all had a delicious, top notch meal at this very classy restaurant that is one of a kind! We will continue to go back for special occasions.

Beautiful atmosphere and great location. We knew that it used to be good but the owners changed so we wanted to give it a try.The service was outstanding but sometimes even a little bit overwhelming especially when you tried to have a relaxing evening and get interrupted almost permanently by staff. We are not blaming the staff; it’s more that it appears that management “drills” their people a little bit too much ? Sometimes it just came across a little bit to “fake” for my taste.Anyway. Shocking was the food. We had their “special” which they made a huge deal about, a whiskey aged rib eye , aged for 50+ days. I have to say had okay steaks, I had good steak and bad steaks BUT I never had a steak which tasted like absolutely nothing. Nothing and nothing at all! What a disappointment. Besides the fact that it wasn’t cooked to order (even not the second time) it had no taste. How is this possible? How can what appears to be a good slice of meat have no taste at all?Two people in our party ordered it and both were totally undercooked and tasteless. Going to Applebees I do not expect a lot of quality BUT their steaks have at least some kind of okay/satisfactory taste!Lamb was undercooked on one side and totally raw on the other side. Again….How is this possible? Almost as tasteless as the steaks.The scalloped potatoes were great but that was it. Really shocking for what they charge. We spent almost $700 for a party of 4 and I have to say this was by far the worst food I have eaten in a restaurant.

Everything about this restaurant is amazing! The owner, the wait staff, the valets, etc. It was a 12yr anniversary for my husband and I, and we wanted it to be special, and Lannings definitely exceeded our expectations. We will definitely go again.
Another great experience at this classic reignited Akron staple. Every inch of the restaurant and bar has been meticulously redone and somehow feels like the same amazing space. It's a can't miss every time.

This is a very elegant dining experience. The staff were very friendly and courteous. Our waiter Jabari was very knowledgeable of the menu and attentive to me and my wife. We both ordered the vegan Wellington which was delicious.

My wife and I attended the bourbon tasting event last night. It had 4+ different bourbons to try and will as specialty burgers and sides with each sampling. As someone who loves burgers and loves cooking them, I know how difficult they are to cook for people, especially a large crowd. Some like rare, some like well. Well, the chef outdid himself cooking these. Even though I usually like mine rare these were all done about medium minus. A perfect temperature to please most people! The different sides that accompanied the burgers were also outstanding. Regarding the bourbon, all the samples were outstanding along with the gentleman that gave a history of the bourbons. It was a great night, and we made some new friends. We cannot wait for the next one!!!

Hmmm, the event was titled Bourbon and Burgers, except whisky and rye were served? Press reporting: "It features five Bourbon tastings with five signature burger sliders"
