Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Massillon

We tried Astoria for the first time. Our server Tera was outstanding. Food was excellent. I had pasta carbonara and she had the beef short rib. Both really good. Caesar salad was fresh and flavorful. So was the French onion (bone broth) soup. Tiramisu was authentic. My only recommendation is to improve the bread service. They need a more Italian style crusty bread. Overall, we will be back. Great job Emily and Nick. We like your new restaurant (One of your neighbors).

Excellent food & wine as always! Love the private room for celebrations!

Was seated by the window a party of 5 for my son's birthdays. It was perfect. We had the calamari and crab cakes (wish they were a little bigger, but very good) Both my sons ordered the ribeye and enjoyed it very much. I went with Restaurant week and the lobster bisque was amazing. Walleye and lobster pasta were the other two meals. Both were enjoyed. I would highly recommend Pier W. Always a good dinner choice.

Not only is the food and service good, but I appreciate the gluten and diary free options. The new black rice bowls are excellent! Thanks for adding them to the menu

I enjoyed an exceptional dining experience at a recommended restaurant; Fahrenheit... The decor, cuisine, and service were outstanding—I truly struck gold tonight! Here’s how it went. Fahrenheit opens with a small loaf of focaccia that sets the bar high: served warm, accompanied by honey, truffle oil, and olive oil subtly spiced with chili pepper flakes. Each bite of this rich, aromatic bread hints at the culinary creativity to come. When I requested fresh-squeezed lemonade, they delivered with a perfectly tart and refreshing glass—a gesture that signals the level of hospitality here. The best places always accommodate, and Fahrenheit makes it effortless. Their take on Mexican street corn? A reimagined soup, velvety like a corn chowder but brimming with depth. Corn, sour cream, shaved parmesan, bacon, and a medley of onions, cilantro, jalapeño, and spices—all come together in a luscious blend that’s as visually appealing as it is bold in flavor. For the main course, I opted for the Vietnamese Pork Chop. The meat was tender and flavorful, and when paired with the lemongrass fried rice and sautéed mango, the plate became a playground of textures and flavors, striking that perfect balance between complementary and contrasting. Imagine the thrill of fireworks on your taste buds. Despite a satisfying meal, the dessert menu was too tempting to ignore. I decided to linger, making space for the Sizzling Blueberry Cobbler. Served warm with a cornmeal cake biscuit, sweet blueberry compote, vanilla bean gelato, and a bourbon-brown sugar Chantilly, this dish crowned the meal in indulgent style. Garnished with edible flowers, it was almost too beautiful to eat—almost.
