The Food - GREAT…read more The Service - been there 4 times now with a party of 3. Each time was terribly slow service and we waited each time for over 10 minutes after table seating to get a server. We ordered everything at once and all but 1 time, the drinks (waters and cokes) were delivered with the meal. And each visit was not crowded at all. The ambiance was good but the service each time was horrible.

Ambiance was dark- like a bar-type of atmosphere- which didn't matter because it was an overcast day in Ohio. It was also more of a sports var as there were lots of TV screens. I ordered a chicken caprese sandwich after being assured by my server that it was one of her favorites. It came with delicious French Fries. The sandwich was good but not amazing. For my taste, the chicken was a bit overcooked, but better than undercooked. The fries were delicious, even though I only ate a few. Before I went to college, I worked in a nice seafood restaurant and our nightly task was to make sure ketchup containers were full. Therefore, I noticed that my container of ketchup was down to the last few squirts. Never a good thing/sound! Overall, not a bad place to eat, but nothing worth going out of your way to try, imo. I see that others gave it better reviews, so this is my experience, Pictures below...

Fried Green Tomato Open Faced Brunch Sandwich...i requested hollandaise on the side (and recommend…read moreyou do the same). This sandwich was out if this world, 10/10 delicious. Every flavor popped...the perfectly cooked eggs, crunchy bacon, tender crisp fried green tomatoes, solid, flavorful, hash brown patty and the light buttery croissant. The hollandaise was a thick, creamy and very rich addition that perfectly complimented the sandwich in moderation. After tasting it, I was thrilled that i had asked for it on the side as I felt it would have overwhelmed the savory goodness of that stacked perfection. Each flavor and texture played beautifully with the next. I will definitely return on our next Toledo visit!

The good: Strong service. Nice atmosphere. Convenient location. Adult meals were solid - good Caesar salad, good chicken sandwich, good steak although cooked rare vs my order of medium rare (better than overcooked). Kids meals were comped without question (see below). The bad: Slooooooow back of house and bar. Kids meals were not good, at least for kids - butter noodles were almost soup from the amount of butter, and grilled cheese made with sharp Swiss and some kind of tomato jam on it. Menu did not hint that the grilled cheese had anything other than bread or cheese, and my kid hates tomatoes. Also, the kitchen messed up our order so everyone was done eating by the time the grilled cheese even came out. The ugly: pretty expensive and I still need to go find food for my kids

I also used balsamic vinaigrette instead of the suggested ranch. It was so good I got this bowl for lunch and dinner on the same day. I also ordered the Berry Smoothie to drink. It was so refreshing. I definitely recommend adding this or any of their smoothies to your order when you visit. Service is always fast and friendly. Core Life tends to be pretty quiet so it's perfect for a work lunch or just a peaceful gathering. There's plenty of seating available and an outdoor patio for when the sun finally comes and stays out!

Skip this place the food is okay but it is not fresh…read more I have not been sick or had tummy issues in atleast 10 years or maybe longer. But after eating here I was in the bathroom all night. The wrap was stale and kept falling apart on me when I tried to eat - not in a good way. And the chicken tasted stale. Can only cover up old and stale with so much sauce. When I asked the register girl what she liked she didn't give ma straight answer - now I know why the food is old. Do not go to this place - you may get sick. Check out my other reviews - I am not being critical to be mean. I really want places like this to succeed but not if they are going to cut corners

Looking for Japanese fried chicken (Karaage) in Downtown Toledo at 11:30 pm? THIS is where you'll find it. And it's good. Japanese fried chicken is a lot like American fried chicken, but the batter is a little different. The dipping sauces are similar to American sauces, but, they are a little different. Different is good. You can get said chicken in the form of wings, chunks, 1/2 a bird, or, in a donburi bowl. The menu also has some American (fries, coleslaw) and Asian (kimchi, edamame) sides. Mochi for dessert? You bet. Drinks? Pop, beer, etc, and sake! Service? The service was very friendly, fast, and accurate. Tommy and Sam run the place when the Main Man is elsewhere. They do a great job overseeing the service and the cooking. The atmosphere is similar to Kengo's other places on the same street. Intimate with bare brick walls. Seating is designed more for quick service and higher throughput. There are a few tables, but most people sit at one of two bars. Great music (Beastie boys and Tupac playing overhead, but not too loud). 4 stars for the food, and one more for being open late! 5 stars!
