I had the bacon cheeseburger. I messed up and got a double it was huge. Needless to say I couldn’t finish it. Hands down the best cheeseburger in Toledo. I had cherry cheesecake for dessert even though I was stuffed. It was amazing. You could tell it was made fresh and homemade. Staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable about menu and drinks. Great experience. I look forward to going back.

This was our first visit and it will be our last. After being ignored, sitting at the table for 15 minutes, nobody bothered to come and even greet us. After I flagged down another server and asked her who our server was, she said she didn’t know, but she would find out. She comes back five minutes later and says she couldn’t find our server but she’s still looking. Eventually, some other server came and took our order. We ordered an appetizer which was not good and I would not recommend it was the dip trio which was horrible. It took forever to get our drinks, and then we finally got our order in for food. 45 minutes to almost an hour later our food arrives. Mind you people have come in sat down ordered their food got their food ate their food pay for their meal and left, and we have still yet to receive our food. Nobody checked on us nobody said anything. Our food comes and it was OK I got to say it wasn’t horrible. I get the bill and I was floored that for bar food for my husband and I and my son came to $112. We each had one drink and one meal. When did bar food get so expensive? I will never go to this restaurant again and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Food was great. We were there with friends of the chef. Had a selection of appetizers. Everything was good. Tried the Mac n cheese and the BBQ pulled pork too. Yumm!

Giving it a one start because the food is over priced for what you are getting, every-time I’ve been in there it has not been good, others I know have said the same, old ownership used to have great service but since the new owners took over everyone has left because they were treated poorly. All of us regulars are gone. Highly would not recommend spending your money here.

Not impressed. Was looking forward to eating here based on the piece we saw on the news. I got a garden salad with chicken which was just lettuce 4 cucumbers and 2 tomato slices like you would put on a sandwich. Not worth $15. The other food was ok. I understand it’s all made to order but you would expect it to be hot when it hits the table. Everything was warm almost room temperature. The one thing I did notice is if you were friends with the chef you got top priority. Probably won’t go back and will not be recommending it. Do yourself a favor go to Inside the five or the VI.

Ate here last night food was great! My girlfriend and I split the Great balls of fire. We each had the bacon burger and had chocolate cake for dessert. The food was a thousand times better than the place in this spot before. Definitely going back!

I was really looking forward to eating here. My daughter came in town and we called to ensure they had seating for 8. We got there & were seated quickly… That unfortunately was the only thing that worked out in this trip. We placed our orders; kids chicken strips and fries, nothing crazy. I ordered hot salmon, my husband the pub burger and my oldest the chicken sandwich. We had the pretzels and salsa to start. Why did it take 40 minutes to receive an appetizer?!?! They actually tried serving my daughters sandwich BEFORE the appetizers !?!? No one else, just her. We had our server and two others trying to serve just chips and water/ soda refills… It was a mess & I really wish we left and had a better meal somewhere else. The owner came over for 2 secs and vanished to the back or talk to her friends coming in. I get it they just opened & they are trying to figure it all out, BUT our bill was well over $100 and to get the service & food we did, it was NOT worth the trip. Total wasted time was 3 hours & we WON’T be returning.

Got dinner here last night for the first time and it was DELICIOUS. Easily one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. The server robin was amazing, quick, and very personable. Ordering take out again tonight, I was so impressed!!

Great food! Sure it might take a little longer than the chain restaurants, but the food is fresh. Had the burger it was good, maybe a tad over done but flavor was great. Also tried the cod sandwich and the caprese chicken. The cod was amazing and likely the only thing I’ll get moving forward…it was that good. Now for the best part the dessert. The bread pudding is a must. It’s enough to share and you get a nice mix of donuts. Raspberry jelly filled, one a custard. I love donuts and this takes the donut and steps it up a notch. It was split amongst the table. The kids said it was the best night ever. My daughter said she could drink the ranch dressing that she had with her broccoli. I’ll be back. Thank you for giving Toledo something different.

We saw the polish dinners advertised with reservations recommended. I called and made reservations. Show up on time. Sit. Have a drink. 30 minutes later they tell us they sold out. No apology. I had to force comped drinks. Totally a waste of our evening. Don’t waste your time.
