Beau’s On The River

Good service, great view. Food was a bit underwhelming, but nothing was bad. A variety of specials and standard menu items to choose from.
I recommend a flight of wines, and be sure to ask for a table with a view!

I stayed at this beautiful hotel several times while attending company sponsored training or operation meetings, and one of the benefits of hosting these types of events here is certainly the room accommodations as well as the onsite dining option. Beau’s provides adequate but what I would call an average menu for a hotel sponsored restaurant, I certainly think the service and setting is above average with a well trained staff which is exhibited throughout this facility. It’s oblivious this restaurant is more about providing food service catering to the the corporate customers and less about the food, although the pricing gives the impression this is a much more upscale venue than the food represented here. I read reviews of special celebrations, I can’t say from my experience the dining rises to that level, even though I’ve experienced numerous meals here including breakfast, lunch buffets, hors d’oeuvres, and dinner service. I will say there’s no doubt about the view, it is absolutely amazing so if ambience is the draw for those wanting to celebrate the milestones in their lives it would be tough to argue that point. The backdrop of the Cuyahoga River Gorge rushing past the giant panes of glass in the rear of the restaurant is breath-​taking, and in someways competes with the food, the view is so over the top it’s seems almost impossible that the food could ever be the main attraction here and fell short time after time. With the exception of the lunch buffet nothing here is terrible only disappointing in my opinion, I’m quite sure I’ll return for other events and will continue to dine here since its usually incorporated into the program, I just hope the management raises the bar on the creativity and quality of the food.

Its freezing out there and didnt want to leave hotel. reviews where not encouraging but… whataheck. worst it can happen is another bad experience for the books. I was surprised. First, on why the weak reviews. Beau has very good food, a decent wine list and world class service. People of Akron and vicinities, rejoice! You have an top notch restaurant that stands tall against any global city (believe me, I’ve been around). Second, the plate creativities are remarkable. kumquat orange peel marmalade infused of habanero is a match made in heaven, one of those that makes perfect sense but never have had before. And the execution of a tricky fish like steelhead trout (too soon its soggy, too much its dry) was flawless. Could it get any better? Make sure you ask for a spot with the river view and the beautiful icicle formations on the rocks.

Came here to celebrate a special occasion.
Food [B-​] Having already perused the reviews, I did not come in with any expectations for the food itself. That being said, we were craving seafood and ended up ordering a ocean-​themed set of plates. Starting off, the tuna tartare had interesting components, yet lacked the cohesiveness and integration expected for a tartare dish. The tuna pieces were haphazardly arranged, and were not flavored with any sort of marinade, as if thrown on as an afterthought. As for entrees, the sea scallops were of reasonable size and cooked OK, lacking the firm bounce, whether due to lack of freshness or the amount of heat employed by the chefs. I tend to stay away from «specials,» yet this time the swordfish seemed so much more promising than the rest of the items on the menu. Unfortunately, the swordfish was a tad overcooked, which was a shame considering the inherent flavor potential. Rounding off the marine experience, a chocolate cake served a la mode with pistachio ice cream, which was just fine. Was the food terrible? Not at all, however, for the price point and the value of food you do receive, just accept that you are paying essentially a «cover charge» for the view and it’ll make the experience more enjoyable.
Service [A-​] Our waiter was pleasant, attentive, flexible, and did not push any items, which is always appreciated. We asked for specific substitutions, without any issues. Water and bread refilled in a timely manner.
Ambiance [A+] Perhaps it was the company I was with, or just the glistening of the water as it flowed into that autumn night, that made the occasion more enjoyable. The views here are outstanding. Our waiter was kind enough to place us in prime seats to get a full view of the river and the falls under the night lights. Being part of the Sheraton doesn’t detract from the environment, and if anything it adds a little bit of pizzazz. Comfortable seating, well-​spaced out from other tables and ample walkways make you feel overall very cozy. Dressing up is optional, as there will be hotel guests who will stroll in with more casual attire, while those on romantic adventures will often dress to the nines.
In summary, come here for the views. I would say for the price, the dining experience itself was 3.5 stars, so I’m rounding up for the excellent ambiance. Stay for the views. For a hotel restaurant in Cuyahoga Falls, it was a nice dining experience for the right occasion.

After purchasing a new truck with my boyfriend we came here to celebrate.
For the price of everything I was quite disappointed.
Beef carpaccio is hands down one of my favorite meals, and I solely picked this place because they had it on the menu. The appetizer was probably the worst carpaccio I’ve ever had in my life. It was flavorless and dry. Really bland and just boring.
The tuna app was similar, just bland and boring, and the tuna had a «fishy» taste like it was beginning to go bad.
For entrees we had the rack of lamb, and scallop special. Although the entrees were better flavored, the scallops were gritty, and crunched when we chewed them.
The best part of the meal was the dessert. We had the peanut butter pie.
Our server was knowledgable and friendly.
The ambiance was so bright. I think they needed to dim the lights a little.
Overall 3 stars for service and lamb dish. Will not return as we were not impressed with any dish of the night.

While the food was fine, the Caesar salad better than bland pasta marinara, and my server was wonderful, I’m flabbergasted by what just happened. I got the side of pasta marinara and the poor server had to come tell me that the manager instructed her that there would be an upcharge for the grated Parmesan for my pasta. I’ve never encountered such a thing, no cheese for pasta? I asked to speak to the manager and that indeed is the case, there is an additional charge for grated Parmesan to sprinkle on pasta. So disappointing, it’s not the cost, it’s the customer service.

Food: Ok
Service: Excellent
Ambience: Amazing
This place is all about amazing views of the river just beautiful. That and the service are the only outstanding items about Beau’s and they make the entire experience worth it.
I wish the food matched up to the views. The food is what you except from your average catering service. The city chicken was the only thing that stood out in my mind everything else was average.
I do recommend people come and sit next to the windows because the view is amazing other than that nothing exceptional about the food.

The servers are very pleasant here and the view of the river is great if you can sit by the windows. The best thing here are the mashed potatoes! You must get them if you come here. I recently got the chopped sirloin which is on their lighter faire menu and that was very good. My only problem with this visit was we ordered mozzarella sticks, which I put a picture of and they look absolutely delicious. However, we tasted them and we could tell there was some seasoning on there that was definitely not normally present so the server checked with the kitchen and here they had made the recipe incorrect and there was too much horseradish sauce put in. The Kitchen did apologize and they took it off our bill, but my question was if they knew they made the recipe incorrect why did they serve it?

The management at Beau’s convinced us to come back and try them again. Their approach was extremely admirable, and the service we received while we were there was so much better. Whether they knew we had a previously poor experience prior or not, everyone was extremely kind and attentive.
I really really want to love this place. The décor is very nice, and you just can’t beat that view. Unfortunately the food just does not live up to ambiance. It is too highly priced for the quality of food we were receiving. Nearly everything we tried tasted frozen and bland.
I am very appreciative of the management and staff for their ability to turn our service-​experience around, and have raised my star because of this.

Food was good. Service was extremely slow and MIA. It took 30 min to get our appetizers and we had to track down our waitress to find out what happened to our entrees. Entrees just arrived. We are now over an hour into our meal. Entrée was good. Now need to track down our waitress to get the bill and get out before I am two hours into this meal.

I fell in love with this place. I took my girlfriend on a date on her birthday there. Perfect place for romantic dinner. It was Thursday night at 9 pm and there were not many people. So felt like the whole place was ours only. It has astonishing view on the river. During daylight and night it looks very cool. We had table for two in nice and quite part of the restaurant. So we could have some privacy. The service was great. For appetizer we took delicious pirogi. The only thing the prices are quite high, but it is worth each penny for the atmosphere we got. Also the menu is online, so I checked the price in advance and was aware of it. We both took fish entrees, which were alright. I thought fish would be baked, but it was deep fried. It has nice wine collection. Overall entrees were alright, pirogi were delicious and wine (glass of Pinot Noir and glass of Chardonnay) was good. Also we walk along there river after dinner. Actually, don’t have to dine there in order to walk along the river ;)

Still loved the lobster bisque. But the rest of the meal was so so. Invited a couple of colleagues and I’m certain that they were disappointed with all the rave I’ve told them about the restaurant

We attended Beau’s for the Sunday brunch. Overall the meal was mediocre. The brunch offered a good blend of lunch and breakfast, included a station for omelet, waffles, and prime beef carving stations. The food was average, good basic food with no Flavors that blew me away. Service was attentive.
The one thing I was blown away by was the view. Overlooking the river was gorgeous while we were eating our meal. Being from Cleveland, I probably would not come back as it is a long drive and there is much better food in CLE.

Simply the best lobster bisque I have ever had. Seriously, no joke, absolutely delicious

Had a business buffet lunch at this very pretty restaurant overlooking a small waterfall river, where apparently people raft. Buffet had a small selection. I didn’t pay, so I’m not sure how much it was. But it was pretty, decent food/​small selection, and nice ambiance. Service was attentive.

Amazing lobster bisque. I am never a fan on entrees but the beau loves them. Great martini and apps. Gorgeous view. Thursday is half price wine. Excellent happy hour joint.

I have eaten here many times over the years, but last night was something unexpected. My lunch earlier in the day was way less than noteworthy but we headed back for dinner when our meal elsewhere with clients was cancelled.
We ordered the special menu appetizer which was a cheese plate and we shared it between two. Looked OK, with one portion of the cheese looking a little too like crappy orange cheddar. Surprise. Every morsel was delicious, enhanced by the toasted bread, quince jam, and amazing pickled onion jam. Wow! And more than enough for two.
We both ordered salmon, over a bed of quinoa with kale. The half portion. Which was ample. Hotels like this usually try too hard, but this dish was exceptional. Understated yet perfect in every way and moving me to post a review. I would love to have it again tonight, it was that good.
We split the molten chocolate cake for dessert. The wait person was super honest that the was not much «molten» here, but that if you get past that and have ice cream with it, it’s really good. And right she was.
Bravo!

I will definitely come back to this place. It’s very nice and the morning breakfast buffet is where it is at!!! True Story! I went because there was a Groupon promotion for it and it was very well worth it. The scenery is beautiful if you are lucky enough to get a window seat. I have been here also for lunch. I had the lobster bisque. It was not the best I ever had, actually it was one of my least favorites I’ve ever had, but it did have a lot of lobster in it. Seemed to have too much Sherry in it for me. The other tings were good. I ate the perogies, they where good. I would recommend checking it out.

Just had a lovely romantic dinner overlooking the cuyahoga falls. We started with the ahi tuna and the pierogis. Our entrees were the succulent grilled pork chops and the vegetable ravioli with sautéed vegetables. They have a fine wine list as well. Our meal was so great that we thought we’d try dessert as well and that didn’t disappoint. We tried the riccota cheese cake topped with raspberries and raspberry coulis and the peanut butter silk pie. We also had some tasty cappuccinos. I don’t know why this place has garnered such poor reviews. I think it’s delightful.

Nice location overlooking the falls in Cuyahoga Falls, inside the Sheraton. Great to have Beau in a new location.
P. S. Rachelle was great!
