Drove down from Detroit to Toledo and found this gem of a restaurant. I wish SoCal had a restaurant this awesome, the ambiance is and makes you feel right at home! The service was impeccable and genuine, but a restaurant is all about the food! The food was GREAT! I'd have posted pics of our plates but we devoured them. I had the best 14 ounce Sirloin I have every had, I mean it, I made the mistake of asking for steak sauce, this darn steak didn't need it, it was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I'd have to say that Toledo Ohio will have to be visited more often just to visit Cousino's again!

Imagine an evening where each course is a masterpiece, crafted to dance on the palate alongside wines that sing in perfect harmony. Cousino's Steakhouse took us on a decadent, international journey with their six-course dinner and wine pairing, curated with precision and passion. From the first bite of smoked salmon on Boursin cheese crostini to the final delight of homemade apple crisp, every flavor was a testament to culinary artistry. Each pairing, narrated by a sommelier with an infectious enthusiasm, brought a new level of appreciation to the wines; from the bright Albamar Rías Baixas Albariño to the rich, berry-infused Clos Bellane Côtes du Rhône. The ambiance? Absolutely charming, with rustic elegance and a warm, inviting glow that wrapped guests in a cozy embrace. Don't miss the next chance to experience one of these unforgettable evenings. Cousino's Steakhouse has mastered the art of pairing food, wine, and ambiance to deliver an extraordinary dining event that truly lingers in the memory.

It has been years since the last time I was in Cousino's. Not much has changed and sometimes, that is a good thing. Service was good, food was good, and prices were reasonable. Cousino's has been around for a long, long time and there is a reason for it. I am hopeful many of these small businesses are able to stay afloat until people actually want to start working for a living again instead of expecting free handouts from the government.

We had an awesome waitress. I wish I could remember her name because she was just COOL. Not too over the top, but just genuinely nice. The manager also stopped over to say hello and see how the food was. That's when we told him were were from out of state and we mentioned we were celebrating a birthday. We had NO CLUE they give you a free birthday entree. What an awesome surprise! I had the crabcake sandwich. My fiance had the Blackened Swordfish. We both enjoyed out entrees immensely. When we were finished eating, out waitress offered to take a picture of us in front of the river. If we are ever in Toledo again, I will make sure we return. I can't say enough good things about this place and the staff. Thank you!!

You now are "upgraded" to one complimentary entree. It's not an upgrade to allow steak or crab. Originally you received 50% off the bill and a complimentary dessert. Getting comps encouraged us to spend; drinks, apps, meals, extras, no worry. Our bill was easily $100-$200 for two. We left today spending less than $80. How is this good business? It's sad what was a birthday experience once a full on splurge, is just a dinner out. Is this good business?

Okay guys seriously!! There's a few poor reviews on here and I do try to keep an open mind. Well…read more.. now you have a Yelp Elite telling you to STAY AWAY!! At least until they have some serious changes!! First off it is WAY overpriced! My husband had the teriyaki steak for $18!! As you can see by the photo, this included a small handful of extremely overcooked bits of beef. I ordered a chicken dish just to be told they were out of chicken. They were also out of the 8oz steak special. I got the firecracker sushi roll which was supposed to have jalapeño. Not sure where that went. Before our meal we got the absolute worst wilted (not intentionally) iceberg and cucumber salad with an awful ginger dressing. It was bitter. Then the miso soup was actually miso broth with green onions and it tasted much more like water then miso. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. The services was subpar as well. She never asked us how we liked our food, never checked on us actually. Then we had to sit and overhear the servers talk about their poor tips. Gee I wonder why? I have to say the ambiance is pretty perfect actually but it only adds to how disappointing the food is. With such a beautiful building, this location should be a serious hot spot! I will say they appear to be clean. I usually rate on a scale... okay food 1 star, service 1 star, ambiance 1 star because it set me up for disappointment, cleanliness 4 stars. I think it's safe to say, this location gains one star! Points for improvement: if you're going to charge $18 for a steak dish... serve a steak to the customer's desired temp. And if you're going to serve miso soup and a salad make sure it's fresh and well executed. Stop using a microwave and make the food fresh!! Research authentic Asian cuisine and just execute it better. Okay I just left the bathroom. Check the picture. I'm done here.

Have you ever been to a restaurant and your experience is so great, and the food is immaculate, and you KNOW that in your heart, that it doesn't matter what you order from the menu, you're GOING to leave satisfied? Well Souk is that type of restaurant. Definitely make a reservation. I did not, but I lucked up with a table in the bar area. Here's what I ordered: Calamari- One of my favorites out of the hundreds I've had. I typically don't care for the thicker semi-crispy calamari as much, but theirs was so fresh, I'm convinced if that type of calamari doesn't taste good somewhere else, it's probably due to the quality or method of cooking. Grape leaves- Enjoyed those and well-packed Braised Short Rib- Amazing. 10/10. Tender and flavorful. I loved the brussel sprouts. The celery root puree on the plate complimented it so well I thought it was mashed potatoes puree, lol. Like that's genius. Sumac Seared Ahi Tuna- I did not personally order this. I did not personally try it. Yes, I regret it. I was told it great. No complaints. I love Souk for Toledo. I love Toledo for Souk.

I want to try other items, but I can't shake that craving ha ha! Souk is definitely a lovely place to dress up for date night and the prices are very reasonable so that is always a plus! It does tend to be a bit chilly inside, so I suggest bringing a sweater but I'd 100xs rather bring a sweater than be sweaty. Also, I'd suggest making a reservation as this is a popular spot downtown. 10/10 would recommend!

We haven't been here since my birthday 4 or 5 years ago. Anyway, the ambiance is great. It's not changed since the 80's and it really has that small, intimate, elegant feel that can really make a place special. It's comfortable, clean and very welcoming. Unfortunately, the food can be really hit or miss. When they get the veal piccata right, it's the best in town. That said, sometimes it so tough, it's inedible. When they get really nice, fresh fish, it's amazing. When it's not that great... I guess we all know. Other parts of a great night out are the drinks and the waitstaff. Our waiter (Mr. Ponytail guy) came to our table after a nice, thoughtful delay between arrival and getting settled in. I think he's been there since the place opened so he does know what he's doing. In fact, I've had him in the past and he can do an incredible job (if he wants to). I guess this wasn't the night he wanted to. After going over the specials, none of us ordered a cocktail, which disappointed him. None of us ordered salads or the famous lobster bisque (which we would have if we were asked) and nobody ordered any of the specials. Mr. Ponytail guy made it obvious we were wasting his time and basically chose to neglect us for the rest of the evening. He didn't even bring the entrees out of the kitchen. Another group of folks carried out food out of the kitchen and Mr. ponytail guy did a really lame attempt at serving the plates to us and then briskly walked away. He never came back to check our satisfaction or to see if we wanted anything else. That said, the busboy was ON-IT! My water glass never ran out and there were no lingering dirty plates on the table. Kudos to him! Mr. Ponytail guy could take some lessons in congeniality and graciousness from the busboy. So, I understand that this is a high-end place. the staff really depends on folks ordering drinks, sides and apps, I get it. That said, even with very little effort, Mr. Ponytail guy still made about $10 bucks in tips off of each of us. I guess if serving drinks is so important to this guy, maybe he should look into waiting table at Barbie's Place on Bennet. This seems to be more his caliber. The coup de grace for the evening is the barmaid screwed up my change 3 times. I know, math is hard, but when the bill comes to $60.06 and you give $80.00 in cash, the change should be $19.94. She gave me back $4.06. I informed Mr. Ponytail guy of the error and he brought me another $5.00 bill. Again, math is hard. He also said he never checked the amount of money I gave him to cover my check, so he didn't know what was going on. Way to be a steward of your customer, Mr. Ponytail guy... After being made to feel like totally inadequate plebes that should have supped at the coney island next door, I really doubt we'll ever go back. I do ask Georgio to send Mr. Ponytail guy to congeniality school so he can learn the disappointments of life and how some things just don't go your way. That or let him spend some time washing dishes. Remember, Mr. ponytail guy, you decided to take on the task of waiting tables, and there's absolutely no shame in this. Lord knows, I've done a lot worse for a lot less. Just remember that some of your customers may not have big appetites, consume alcohol, eat fish or have a willingness to be treated like inconvenient morons just because you decided to judge them for not being who you wanted them to be. There are a lot of other high-end places much closer to home that would LOVE to get our money... Oh, 2 stars because the food was OK.
