Linguini alla Carbonara
This dish was perfection. I love dining at dba when passing through Akron to visit loved ones. Everything about dba is wonderful, from the ambiance to presentation and guest service. I highly recommend dba. You simply cannot go wrong.
Boneless Beef Short Rib
Simply delicious. Melt in your mouth short rib, creamy potatoes just decadent from the very beginning to the end. I'm already planning my next visit.
*Angus Beef Burger
The burger was amazing! All the flavors from the bacon to the sauce worked well together and the Parmesan truffle were the perfect comfort food and side dish. The service was great as well.
Mushroom Risotto
Absolutley delicious. Light but satisfying
Cacio e Pepe Risotto
I can't even describe how wonderfully constructed this dish was when it came to flavor. Not only was the risotto perfectly cooked the rich butteryness from the parmesan cheese and the poached egg kept me coming back for more. I literally could have eaten an entire pot of this risotto! Props to the chef for knocking this one out of the park!
*Green Spaghetti
I've had wonderful scallops, the 2 root vegetable salad is great, as is the nutella pie, but by far my favorite item is the green spaghetti.
*Surf and Turf
What an amazing place tucked away in plain sight. Words can't explain how cozy and warm this place is. Food is another level of great. Service is fast knowledgeable and helpful for those who can't make up their mind. If going make sure to have enough time to have a cocktail or two the selection and mixing is very nice(lots of whiskey which suits me well). Bout it I guess. Been there many times and will continue to go.
Center Cut Filet Mignon 10oz.
We went to D.B.A. for our anniversary. Had the lobster crusted filet. It was phenomenal. Then we spend hours at the bar after dinner. Can not wait to return!
*Verlasso Salmon
I ordered this from the Create your own Masterpiece part of the menu. I had this with the horseradish crust and lemon butter accompanied by Brussels Sprouts. The Salmon was cooked perfectly and had a wonderful flavor. This particular fish did not have fishy taste found in our species. The fish is less fatty. The Brussel Sprouts were also cooked perfectly and were a great side.
*Shrimp Tempura
This appetizer is an amazing way to kick off the meal. Lightly battered with the amazing yum sauce to dip in. It was so delicious!
*Seared Sea Scallops
I ordered the Headliner Seared Sea Scallops with sweet potato puree, beluga lentils, and pear variations. These were some of the best scallops I ever had! The combination of flavors were perfection. I seriously can't wait to go back and have this dish again. Goes great with the Sage Advice cocktail!
*Hawaiian Tuna Tartare
We also had a pasta, the Cesar salad, and the flatbread Pizza along with some delish drinks including my favorite, the Sage Advice. Everything was on point and we ate it all! Ryan, our waiter, made things very special for us because it was our anniversary and we had such a wonderful evening at DBA. ❤️ Thank you! -Shenan & Jake
Charcuterie and Cheese
Such a lovely experience yet again!! Clean and spacious during these Covid times. The entire staff is exceptional. Lori is always a pleasure and Chef Nick created the most delicious and beautiful pork chop I've ever eaten. My husband literally will not stop talking about the Potatoes Gratin. Oh and the house Manhattans are smooth yet full of body. I also highly recommend the Charcuterie and cheese board. Can't wait to return ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brian and Tameka
*Hawaiian Tuna Tartare
This is one of the many brilliantly composed dishes at DBA. Wether you're looking for a satisfying appetizer, or just a light meal, this dish delivers a fantastic combination of fresh ingredients that compliment the delicate nature of the Tuna in a perfect symphony of flavors and textures that are sure to satisfy. I truly love this dish, and look forward to my next opportunity to enjoy it again!
*Salmon
A few Years ago I took my wife went to to DBA to to celebrate a significant achievement in her life. I heard about DBA but never tried their food ,I also wondered is the food worth the cost,Well I was not let down the food was great especially the Salmon .the atmosphere was cozy and the service was great. We even met the Chef who came out to speak to us .I would recommend everyone to try it once things open back up safely.
*Scallops
These were the most decadent, juicy, buttery, and indulgent scallops I have ever had. Truly a full and overwhelming experience of taste.
*Scallops
The scallops were amazing! Can't wait to go back. I've never had anything at DBA that wasn't fantastic.
*Hong Kong Mussels
So. Delicious. Such an inventive and interesting way to do mussels, which are usually just doused with butter and garlic. The bright, garlicky sauce and the fresh, crisp microgreens made for the perfect bite.
Boneless Beef Short Rib
This is one of the most amazing Short Ribs I have ever tasted! Each mouthful was delicious and the meat was just melt in your mouth! Can't wait to have it again!
Charcuterie and Cheese
Probably the best charcuterie mix I have had. Everything was spot on and paired well together. Highly recommend!
*Butter Poached Monkfish
awesome
*Seared Sea Scallops
I always look forward to dining at dba when visiting friends and family in Akron. Everything from the presentation of the food, the satisfaction of it and the ambiance of dba is perfection. I highly recommend dba to locals and travelers alike. Buon appetito!
Charcuterie and Cheese
I've been here several times and I have never been disappointed! The location, the look, the staff, the food, the drinks... all incredible! I've recommended this place to a couple of friends and they have gone and said it is delicious too. The Charcuterie board is the best I have ever had, salmon is to die for, steaks are perfect... I could go on and on. I will always keep coming back!
3 Cheese Polenta
Awesome
Ribeye 16 oz.
I always ordered the roasted duck breast when it was still on the menu, but when I could no longer indulge in that during my most recent visit for my birthday, I decided to experience the ribeye. The enticing, aroma of the ribeye as it arrived at the table enveloped me into a mouth-watering wave of excitement to experience the beautiful presentation of ribeye that was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, well seasoned; bursting with flavor, and "cut with a fork" tender that'll melt in your mouth, with its equally delicious pairing of potatoes au gratin. DBA has always been one of my favorite restaurants, and the wonderful entrée option of the ribeye I had the opportunity to experience is truly a prime example of one of the best steaks I've ever had in my life.
Boneless Beef Short Rib
Have been to dba twice this December. Once with 5 people and once with 6 people. We always start with a craft cocktail (or two) at the Speakeasy (Bryan is excellent) and then head over to dba. Usually some wine, some apps (big fans of the Mussels!) some soup or salad and then an entrée. The three pastas (especially the green) are favorites of all of us as are the Beef Short Rib, the steaks and sometimes even the Dante Inferno flatbread for dinner. Service is always attentive and the manager (Beau) is always helpful too. I like the fact that we can bring in our own wine (for a reasonable corkage fee) and the handing out of guitar picks that lead to a $50 discount. Great place!
Hanger Steak
We went to DBA with some friends that had never been there before and everyone raved about their selections afterwards. My choice, based on the waiter's recommendation, was the hangar steak with potato gratin on the side. Oh my goodness! That was truly a fantastic meal!! I can't wait to go back for more. Found my favorite menu item!!
*Verlasso Salmon
Where Do I Begin....... From Beginning To End Customer Service Was Superb! My Reservation Were In Good Hands With A Courtesy Call. In Celebration Of My 30th Birthday With My Twin Brother Was A Success. This Was His First Visit With His Wife. This Was Also My Guests At My Dinner Party's First Visit As Well. They Loved Everything From How Immaculate The Restaurant Looked, How Well The Decor Looked And How Well Staff Carried Themselves Giving Outstanding Hospitality. This Was My Second Visit Of Choice Because 3Years Ago My Husband Proposed To Me Here Accompanied By The Chef. It Was So Sweet. So I Felt This Was The Perfect Place To Recreate And Create New Memeories. We All Gave Compliments To the Chef! We Also Loved The New Menu Since 2017. We Had The Luxury Of Being Served By Ryan. She Was Amazing, Sweet, & Very Professionally! Our Opening Acts Were Delicious From Traditional Caesar Salad, And Crispy Tempura Shrimp! Our Headliners Included The Vegan Burger & Verlasso Salmon ,Made To Perfection. If Your Looking For Fine Dining, Family Oriented, Place To Celebrate This Is The Perfect Location Hands Down!
Boneless Beef Short Rib
They were very tasty, liked the fact they were off the bone. I did not get any potatoes with dish and a vegetable side would have really rounded the dish out. It was a nice experience and I would certainly go back.
*Shrimp Tempura
Deliciously crispy shrimp and the aioli was a perfect amount of heat
