The food was very good- the usual brunch buffet spread of breakfast items, bagels and lox, pastries, etc. Sweetie even got me to eat some of the fruit and veggies. Service was excellent. The facilities worked perfectly for a mid-sized party, with a large room for the food and tables, a bar alcove, comfy sitting rooms, etc. It would be a great place for a wedding and/or reception or a large family reunion.

There isn't a big open dining room, so tables for the dinner were split in two rooms plus outside on the patio (with a big tent). The food was excellent as well, which isn't always the case with banquet food. I have no idea what the status is about if this is a members only club or what it takes (or who you have to know) to host an event here, but from a guest's perspective this is a five star experience.

The park has two parking areas and very good signage to the various garden areas. There is a small gift shop that sells crafts and artworks from local artisans and they have a fridge with cold drinks for purchase. The botanic garden houses an artists village with several onsite art studios. One of them is called Unruly Arts, which is a studio specifically for people with disabilities (their description - not mine). I just loved their colorful flower and art garden. We were lucky enough to catch the roses still in late bloom and a perfect fall day. This is a special place and Toledo residents are lucky to have it.

Upon conclusion of the exchanging of the vows, we all went inside the building for a nice reception. The Stables is reminiscent of an old barn, refurbished into a modern gathering hall. With high ceilings, you could easily install a full sized basketball court within it's walls. The staff and caterers and DJ worked seamlessly to make the event a memorable one. I didn't check on many details, but I believe City Barbeque did the food catering. Food and drink were plentiful, the atmosphere inside the building was very relaxed, and a bonfire was available after dinner. If you are looking for a great venue to hold a celebratory event, The Stables should be on your list of possible sites to check on.

Can't say anything negative---it was an all around POSITIVE EXPERIENCE and I highly recommend this facility. July 2016 kbd

Maumee Bay Brewing Company / Oliver House We arrived on…read moreSaturday for lunch on our way into town for a visit. This was always one of my favorite spots and I appreciate the variety of establishments available and wanted to include this on my small tour of Toledo. I positioned our stop at the top of the list after a quick tour of downtown and before a visit to the Libbey Glass Outlet and the Toledo Museum of Art. The Oliver House is a historical building with a view of the Maumee River in downtown Toledo. When commissioned by Major William Oliver, renowned architect Isaiah Rogers designed a first class modern hotel and located the building in the section of downtown referred to as the "Middlegrounds". The address is 27 Broadway St., Toledo, Ohio and it is the last remaining hotel standing designed by the architect. Venues: https://mbaybrew.com/ Brew Pub (2nd floor) Rockwell's (1st floor, River side of the building - steakhouse, open for dinner) The Cafe (1st floor) Mutz Sports Bar (1st floor) + Private Events + Museum - Bakery (this was my old favorite lunch spot back in the day) We planned to visit either the Brew Pub or The Cafe for lunch - the menu is very similar, but I had wanted to get a river view for my guest so I leaned toward the Maumee Bay Brewing Company "Brew Pub". Our lunch: combo 1/2 salad with quiche and 1/2 salad with chicken salad sandwich. $11.95 for 2- choice combo. Parking: ample - street parking, parking immediately around the building and a parking lot across the street Service: very good, friendly, efficient, attentive Menu: I will always miss the mussels; but there are still some favorites available on the menu.

It was like it was meant to be. Everyone found out the surprise accidently a week prior to the wedding thanks to The Toledo Blade but the staff here would have kept the secret for us otherwise. You honestly couldn't ask for a better venue in the area. Full of history and charm. Then you have the amazing staff there that truly go above and beyond. We only had 30 guests for our wedding and the staff made sure everyone was taken care of. Food was delicious, hot, and all had unique flavors. Which doesn't always happen group dining options. The Oliver House is where I got to marry the love of my life, and it will always hold a special place in our hearts. Will be dining here for many years to come.
