If you're going for a lake view restaurant, this wasn't it. Upon entering, we were greeted by a very pleasant young lady. Seated by the window, we were pleased by the menu and the daily specials. Our server was very prompt and courteous. We ordered the walleye sandwich and the perch sandwich. Both sandwiches came with hand cut french fries and coleslaw. Our son ordered the grilled cheese sandwich and tomato basil soup. Our food arrived very promptly. My wife and I both loved the fish and felt that it was one of the best fish sandwiches we've had in a long time. The fries were rather limp and could use some more attention by the kitchen to make them stand out more. I like a mayo based coleslaw, so I didn't really love the slaw, although it was fresh and tart. The soup was very tasty and the grilled cheese was done just right! Overall, we would recommend this restaurant and we can tell that the local crowd likes this place and has kept it in business for a long time. Now if they only had that lake view restaurant!

The falafel tasted freshly made and paired really well with the fresh veggie sticks. The lentil soup, however, wasn't my favorite. It tasted more like plain broth than lentil soup and was a bit greasy, so I didn't enjoy it. Parking is street parking, which can be a little inconvenient depending on the time of day, but my food was prepared quickly and I received my order in a reasonable amount of time. Overall, it was a decent experience. While it wasn't the best Mediterranean food I've had, I'd come back to try some of the other menu items.

While in Ohio City, I developed a craving for something on a lighter/healthier side and quickly served. I'd normally grab quick eats from the Market but it was after hours. Boaz was an ideal match. AMBIANCE: Boaz has very interesting decor - vintage retro wallpaper and pops of yellow. Very funky and fun! The cafe has kind of an L type layout with quite a few tables. There's a serving station similar to Chipotle. You're welcome to takeout or eat in. FOOD: The menu is straightforward - rolled pitas, entrees, appetizers, salads, fresh juices and smoothies, desserts, soup and beverages. Very similar to Aladdin's. If you're in an especially creative mood, try to build your own salad, bowl or entree. There's a helpful sheet to guide you through your creation - base, protein, top off, color, and dress up. It's very helpful to see all the ingredients and feels like a more non-rushed ordering process. Prices for add-one are very clear and straightforward. I ordered Build My Own Bowl adding brown rice, beef shawarma, hummus, za'atar pita chips, shredded carrots, tabouli, pickled cucumbers, pickled turnips, tahini lemon, garlic sauce, and pita. The price was very reasonable - $8.99 for a bowl and $3.25 for beef shawarma. The only ingredient that they were out of was feta cheese but I wasn't especially craving it. Overall the bowl was pretty tasty especially za'atar pita chips. I didn't particularly like a few things. Meat was shredded too small and was dry. I also have the same criticism for Aladdin's. Sauce sides (tahini lemon and garlic sauce) weren't full. The meal achieved what I was craving - light and tasty. SERVICE: The service was very expeditious and welcoming. The menu was explained to me as the first timer and ordering was easy. The order was up in probably 3 minutes, quickest prep in all Ohio City. I was blown away! PARKING: Various parking options are available in the area. Some street parking is an option but not on peak busy times (weekends and nights). Paid parking lots are available at the West Side Market and by Market Street. You can pay with QR code via phone. I'd stop in at Boaz again when craving quick and easy eats. Next time I'll focus on desserts and smoothies. I'm especially intrigued by Rejuvinate smoothie. Many cafes in the city offer a smoothie with this name, and I'd love to experience/compare this one.
