Looking for a new innovative dining experience?

Steak on a Stone is the place to be. Steak on a Stone has two locations in the Akron area, one in Montrose (up on the hill), and the other in North Olmstead. So what is Steak on a Stone and why are they so innovative?

Steak on a Stone is a dining experience unlike any other around. This is because the customers cook the food themselves. After picking the entrée and sides, the food is delivered in a stoneware dish, on a volcanic stone.

The catch; the entrée isn’t cooked. Here is how this all works. The meat is placed on the hot stone. This volcanic stone is over 750 degrees at the start of the meal, and stays hot the entire time. Because the volcanic stone is so hot, it sears in the natural flavor and juices of the food.

To cook the food, just cut off a piece and place it on the stone until it reaches the desired temperature. It’s that easy. If you have ever had a steak under or over cooked before, you can appreciate how great cooking your own meal would be.

The best part is, the last bite is just as hot and juicy as the first. Steak on a Stone offers more than just steak, they offer everything from fish to chicken and even some Greek items. If you don’t want to cook your own food, there are plenty of selections that involve no effort at all. And if there is ever a question, any knowledgeable server will know the answer.

They are great at helping a customer figure out what to order, how to cook the food, and even what drink would go best with their selection. But it is more than just cooking your own food on a 750-degree volcanic rock that makes Steak on a Stone a new unique experience. It is the atmosphere.

Upon entering Steak on a Stone (the Montrose location), you are immediately grabbed by the amazing smell of the entire restaurant.

It is an open floor plan so all of the aromas make for a mouth-watering entrance. To the left is a cozy and modern bar, with all of the ingredients for a great night out.

The colors of Steak on a Stone are soothing and relaxing, and the mixture of stone, and wood create an overall sensation of intimacy. They have a private wine room that is available upon request, and would be perfect for a celebratory dinner. The restaurant is not too loud, with most of the noise coming from the sizzling food cooking on the volcanic stones.

Overall Steak on a Stone is a great place for a family gathering or an intimate date. It offers a bit of everything, with a new twist. It may seem strange at first to pay to cook your own food, but don’t give up on the idea before you try it. From the words of Steak on a Stone, it’s not just a meal; it’s an experience.
