This place is completely and intensely average. Avoid. If you're going to spend your money in the area, go to Revolution or Mancy's Italian or Steakhouse or Amango or drive downtown to hit Registry or the restaurants at the Oliver House.... or just about anywhere else, honestly. I ordered the "steak and fries", since I do like a good steak frites dinner. The steak was decent quality AND it was cooked to exactly perfectly medium rare as ordered (good job!) but completely under-seasoned (oh come ON use just a bit of salt and pepper). I will also say that I liked the herbed butter - they didn't skimp, and it helped to finish the steak. Decent fries. GF had "Mr. Jack's Crispy Chicken Platter" which is described as "South carolina low country recipe with french fries and cole slaw". You'd expect a few pieces of good fried chicken, maybe a leg and a breast or something with a good breading and seasoning with that description - apparently, "south carolina low country" now means "flavorless processed boneless white meat chunks deep fried into oblivion and served with dipping sauce like we'd give to an 8 year old boy". Our waitress was impersonal, rushed, and sounded scripted from the moment she hit our table. The wine list is straight out of a grocery store (okay, maybe a slightly nicer grocery store but come ON, how hard is it to put together an interesting list given all of the amazing local wine vendors we all have access to in this city that know their wines? some of them work for the distributors, even, and they'd be thrilled to be creative in their lists!). Bottom line - this is "fine dining" that's suitable for high school kids on their first homecoming date. Maybe a slight upgrade from Longhorn. By the time they hit prom, hopefully they'll have learned enough about food to avoid this overpriced mediocrity. read more

5 STARS- Extraordinary In today's culture, foreign food is all the hype. Sushi, pad thai, vindaloo- complex, exotic dishes are now common place and preferred by even the average diner. Don't get me wrong, I am very passionate about new and exotic fare. However, many forget that American food can be just as classy, just as complex, just as... delicious! Out of all the restaurants in the area, I trust only one to consistently deliver exceptional American cuisine- J. Alexanders. J.'s is on a busy strip in Toledo I like to refer to as a 'Dining Drive', a section of town that runs past the mall and contains a ridiculous amount of eateries. The outside is pleasant and well kept, but front parking runs out swiftly (the back lot has plenty of space). Inside, a well-decorated dining floor is set off by warm lighting and crisp, white table cloths. The waiting section is small, but it flows into a snazzy, well-stocked bar. Once you are seated, a friendly waiter or waitress will take drink orders (don't worry, your drinks will not run out) and leaves you to peruse the fantastic menu. The appetizers are well portioned and fresh, certainly not a meal. I specifically enjoy the Spinach Con Queso, served with a bowl of salsa and fresh tortilla chips. The spinach offers a thicker texture and a great earthiness that gives the dish substance. If you're there for lunch, all sandwiches and salads are well made and tasty. These dishes are prepared excellently, especially the Chicken Cobb Salad (the rotisserie chicken is always perfectly moist) and the French Dip. The big show, however, is dinner. Every menu item is prepared superbly, with good seasoning and fresh products. All steaks are certified Angus Beef, the best of them being the Prime Rib. This steak's center is beautiful and pink, and the texture is like beef velvet. It's served with a rich au jus that could almost stand by itself. If you're hungry for seafood, try either the Cilantro Shrimp or the Ahi Tuna Filet. The shrimp is packed with flavor and never rubbery (it's a bit spicy), and the Tuna is luscious, served with a fantastic ginger glaze. If you can make it to the bottom of the menu, you'll spot the specialties, all of which are fail-safe. I recommend giving the Pork Loin a shot- J.'s is the only restaurant I will order pork. It's coated in a unique 'Bang-Bang' sauce, sweet and zesty. Feel free to choose any side with any meal- they're all great, especially the shoestring Fries or the buttery 'Smashed Potatoes. If you're up for dessert, all the selections are good, especially the cheesecake. However, with the huge dinner portions, it's usually impossible to get dessert as well- all of the desserts are intensely rich and filling. With locations around the country, J. Alexander's is technically a chain restaurant. Nevertheless, they provide a refined, consistent, and delicious experience. If you're looking for some upscale dining, I encourage you to eat American. read more

J. Alexander's - J's prime rib - New American Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Update below....I have not been to J. Alexander's in years. They have removed the warm delicious croissants and replaced them with nothing. My daughter had a French dip and the prime rib was delicious. It melted in your mouth. The french fries were appropriately seasoned. My Alex salad arrived first and it looked like a piece of art! The even took the time to arrange the warm croutons around the outside of the salad. After the salad the Hyde Park chicken sandwich arrived with a hair, mayonnaise and an onion on it. The menu stated it would have lettuce and tomato. The bill arrived WITHOUT a discount. The service was horrible. Many times I needed to take a drink from my daughter's pop. I won't be back. Update...the management gave me a $15 Be My Guest coupon to return and I did. To be fair I ordered the Hyde Park, the same way. The sandwich again arrived with mayo. I asked for a manager and it was quickly fixed. The sandwich was moist and delicious. The fried were perfectly seasoned. The waitress was a complete turn around from the one I had before! It was a great meal!! read more

I have been trying to get take out a few times a week to help restaurants during the closures of the coronavirus. I did take out a few weeks ago for Jalexanders. The messed up my order and put mayo on when I asked no mayo. I had to throw the bun away. I thought I would give them another chance. I called to day from work, and when asked for a take out order I was told we open at 12pm. I asked if I could leave my order as I would pick up at noon. She replied well I'm getting this set up. I hung up. I have a lunch hour 12 to 1230. They need to train there staff better. read more

J Alexander's is one of the best places to eat in the Toledo area in my opinion. About the only competition are those places which are part of the M..... group. The food isn't just superb, but the service also is, and the consistency of this place is amazing. I've settled into getting one or two different things from many of the places we go, but here I pick from about eight different things I'll choose from, as well as sometimes getting a special. It's hard to find something here which isn't great. read more

J Alexanders is my constant GO-To restaurant in Toledo. The service and food are always top notch. I think I only ordered one thing ever that I was less than pleased with. I have never had issue with the service at all. They run a tight ship here. My favorites at J Alexanders are as follows: The Spinach Queso/Chips/Salsa are out of this world. I will often come here for a glass or two of wine and just stuff myself with this. The Queso has little bits of spinach in it and is just cheesy and tangy enough. The Salsa here is a star! Its delightfully chunky and the flavors are always fresh and bright. I always order this when I come. I am obsessed with the prime rib dip sandwich. The prime rib is always rare/med rare and juicy. its a simple sandwich with savory aujus, but it is wonderful when the meat can really shine in a french dip where it is often greasy and overcooked. I often get this with their skinny fries or with the amazing Orzo and wild rice salad. Speaking of Salads, J Alexanders has the best, garlicky, crunchy Cesar salad around. It will give you mad garlic breath though, so bring a mint or an understanding significant other. Obviously the steaks and prime rib area good. I think the Ribs are the best around because the BBQ sauce they make here is the best around. My boyfriend orders martinis with tons of blue cheese olives here. He swears they make them in house (the olives that is) we have searched high and low to find comparable olives for purchase and none compare. Always save room for dessert, the carrot cake is heavenly with warm cream cheese icing. Yum! read more

First things first, their Mac and cheese is some of the best I've ever had. Their veggie burger is delicious, but it does easily fall apart. Some other dishes I've had before is their smoked salmon dip, their regular burger, and their fish tacos, all of which were equally tasty. If you're looking for an upscale restaurant with delicious food, this would fit. During the weekend, there's the possibility of a 30-45 minute wait so prepared for that. I've been going here for a couple years and their food has never disappointed. read more

So in celebrating Xmas/birthday/New Years, I decided to splurge on the Steak Maui. Yeah, it was as good as I remembered. Super tender, great flavor... it isn't cheap but worth the price every once in a while. Oh the rest of the meal and the meals of my companions were great too, but even they agreed that mine was the best. :) read more

Okay, okay, so you insist on going to a restaurant where you can get dressed up. Here is one restaurant for you where you have that choice and you will not feel out of place. You can dress up here OR you can go casual. Do not over do this one; you can not walk in here in beach trunks and flip-flops, but you can dress casually to be comfortable if that is what you enjoy doing. This is one excellent restaurant. Great style, great comfortability. Love the burgers and fries. The service is excellent. Atmosphere nice! You will enjoy this one. Priced - a good restaurant; I am thinking that is reasonable. (Food and service is definitely worth the money). I mentioned burgers and fries because that is what I enjoy. This is NOT a fast food restaurant, and nothing like one. Beautiful place, beautiful food, beautiful service and staff. Dress/Attire: You can dress comfortably and no one will look at you double. You can wear jeans, or you can go dressed up; it's all up to you. Worth the ride there. Wish it was closer. What I LOVE about this restaurant: At J. Alexanders, you can get great quality food, excellent quality service, and reasonably timely service, friendly, professional service WITHOUT having to dress formally. Now that is really something in a restaurant. Scale of one to ten, this beautiful restaurant rates an ELEVEN! read more

Had an Alex's salad, rattlesnake pasta, a glass of merlot, and a slice of key lime pie. The salad came with plenty of croutons (yum!) and a croissant (double yum!!). Definitely one of the best "side salad"s I've ever had. The rattlesnake pasta was a delightfully spicy surprise, but it tasted too much like the actual chili powder so I docked them 1 star. Don't they taste this stuff before they serve it?? The glass of merlot was an afterthought, recommended by our server and it was great! So smooth and a great accompaniment to my meal! The key lime was average at best. It was sweet which is all I was really looking for but it was still sorta frozen in the middle :-/ read more

I'm not the biggest fan of chain restaurants, though J. Alexander's is a pretty small one at that. Last night we satisfied my partner's vague obsession with this place, and it was pretty much as I remembered it: slightly overpriced food served in an environment with less soul than most hotel lobbies. I had the club sandwich. For $13.00 it's not even a double-decker (and therefore not really a club sandwich), although they use good quality meat and cheese. The server recommended the "not your typical" mac and cheese. It was pretty good. My partner got the fish tacos. He was satisfied, but I think I adjusted his expectations going in: the food's better than average, slightly over priced, but they're pretty consistent. He thought there was too much coleslaw or something. Meh. His problem. Maybe I should have tried a steak or something, but Shorty's has been slaying in that department so hardcore it would have been unfair to order it here. Service is killer, unobtrusive, and professional. Strike the word "refill" from your vocabulary as you enter, for your drink will never go empty here. They run a tight ship. Overall, this is the kind of place you might want to consider taking extended family members or large groups, as there truly is something for everyone. read more

I can't decide if I would give this place a 3 or 4 stars. But I went with 4 because I do find myself here every so often when i Don't know what else to eat. I've been coming to j. Alex for a long long time. And I used to love it back then. But more so within the last few years it's been a hit or miss. Some days it's good and some days it's just ok. When it's good. They are good. My strip steak gets cooked the perfect medium rare, more on the rare side is how I like it. The NYO Mac and cheese is spot on. Their loaded smashed potatoes is phenomenal. But when they are off, they are off. The last few times it was either I had to send my steak back because it was medium well, and I just can't get myself to stomach dry meat. And/or the food is really greasy and doesn't sit well. Their cypress salad is bomb. And I love it with extra cornbread croutons and their honey mustard and champagne vinaigrette dressing is delish!!! Ohh.. and their ranch dressing is amazing as well. read more

Always perfect here. Hard to get a table, but worth the wait. During busy times, the acoustics can be a little challenging, but I think that might be by design, to keep tables turning over. This place has stood the test of time and we still go back on a regular basis. read more

Toledo the city may be rotting from the inside out, but you wouldn't know it from dining at J. Alexanders. Ordered a martini - very dry - from my waiter, she brought me a very dirty one - huge blunder. I didn't really feel like making a scene, but definitely want to make sure those waiters know the difference. I guess that one is on me though for ordering that from the waiter table-side instead of at the bar. Had the horseradish crusted filet and loaded baked potato. Came with a delicious salad and a honey covered croissant - which is great but kinda fills you up before you get the main course. The filet was cooked perfectly, well done. Lean cut, nicely crusted on the outside. The horseradish crusting was more breadcrumb than horseradish, but gave a nice flavor. The wife had the prime rib mid-well, and it too got the thumb's up. I did expect a bit more from the wine list - but it was adequate. It's a decent find in a crappy city! read more

Our go to restaurant!! The filet mignon is my favorite and my fiancé loves the prime rib. We've never had a bad experience.

Can't believe I didn't write a review of this place last summer as we visited several times. When I grew up here, I remember not being very impressed with J. Alexander's. It's what people in Toledo considered "fancy" but was a chain that I also had a disappointing experience with in college in Cincinnati. C'est la vie. But last summer, when we happened to be in town a bunch, we settled on this place when the BF wanted American food and I just wanted A/C and a cocktail in a more upscale place. Much to my surprise, I really liked everything. The booths were comfy, the decor pretty modern, the menu much more inventive than it had been in the past. The cocktails were especially interesting and delicious---the last one I ordered was served with dry ice. I'm kinda obsessed with the the Cypress salad, which is enormous, particularly the cornbread croutons. I crave that on the regular, and order it whenever we're in town. The BF liked his rattlesnake pasta as I recall. The Caesar salad was also really good, and really big. We were both bigs fans of the croissants for the table. I really don't have anything the criticize. Prices were pretty average, food was good, clientele was more upscale, a bit older. Booths were roomy and comfortable. Service was good, location is great. We'll def be back next time we're in town. read more

Rare visit to a spot across town from me on a Friday night. We went a little early and had no wait. But they were already busy in a good way. Lots of guests, but everything was running well. Busy but calm. It reminded me of when all nice restaurants were staffed by experienced, professional staff. The service was the standout on this visit. It was on point, pure and simple. A half dozen different people interacted with us in some way, because the concept is that everybody helps. It ended up like clockwork in my case, and the impressive service was reflected in an impressive tip. Price points are just under top tier steak restaurants. Just above other chains. Think $50 for a steak, $20-30 for other entree selections and $15 for a cocktail as of summer 2022. Salads, etc ala carte. Speaking of salads, the "Alex's salad" was fresh and well-presented but lacked a couple promised ingredients, like bacon. Large portion, as is the Ceasar, which was a little bland but also fresh. The lettuce was more iceberg than romaine, which is a Ceasar sin. Lacked parm. Croutons were interesting and sparse. Flavorful but chewy rather than crunchy. Couldn't really finish it all. Opted for the prime rib, a signature entree. It was excellent, well prepared, and well portioned. (Went with 16 oz cut, 12 and 20 are available.) Creamy horseradish is provided, and in my case, the combination of the creamy horseradish, prime rib and smashed potatoes provided a moment of sublime and ethereal prime rib perfection. I could have lived in that bite for the rest of my life. Au jus was a little weak. But the potatoes (they sound easy to make but are hard to make and hold) were so good (like the top mash potatoes I recall in many years) they more than made up for it. A carry-out carrot cake was ok. Like the salad, passable but underwhelming compared to the entree. Bottom line: I would call this spot a very safe choice for a good meal in 2022, and a standout great service experience. Plan for a shot wait during busy periods. But they can handle being busy, no problem. The staffed seemed to like it busy, and like what they do. Instead of feeling too busy or stressful, it just felt like the place had life in it. read more

food is pretty good.they have jacked up their prices about 30%.And i know for a fact they buy their meat from gordons.dont know if that is a bad thing or not.but know their steaks are not prime.at best choice. read more

Perfect for my honey's birthday dinner! Firstly, I was surprised to learn that the Toledo area is not booming with restaurant options - apparently my expectation was high.The options are quite limited and places close early- check first if visiting area. With that said, we came here on a Weds. night and were seated promptly. Apps, came out fast, and so did the salad. My honey ordered the Steak Maui with garlic mas potatoes, I ordered a strip with NYO Mac and cheese which was dee-lish. I tasted the Steak Maui and the sauce was dee-lish whatever it was not the typical flavor. Both sides were enough to share, so we did. YUM! Overall we enjoyed our meal, the dark, candle lit ambiance and our waiter was excellent. read more

J. Alexander Toledo, I hate to say it, but the menu needs a change. They removed the tasty croissants years ago but the menu has gotten regular. Food is good but let's switch it up. Link me with the head chef. read more

Tried this place off of several recommendations we received. The atmosphere is very nice and classy with a great vibe as soon as you walk in. The staff is very knowledgeable and polite. The spinach queso is an absolute must have as an appetizer. I had an excellent ribeye called the Steak Maui and was cooked perfectly. My mother had the New York strip that was cook to perfection as well with broccoli that was really good. Our little man had the steak burger and he loved it. The Caesar salad is very good which is a must for me at any good steakhouse. My wife had the Steak Maui and loaded baked potato which I think could have used more loaded toppings but steak was perfect. The only room for improvement is the "not your average Mac n cheese" that might be as good as proclaimed if they took out the onions and mayo or miracle whip twang. The drinks were made perfectly which was nice. All and all this place was great and we will return. The only reason for 4 star and not 5 was the Mac n cheese. read more

The 4-5 star reviews for this place is a perfect example of people in Toledo giving rave reviews for anything expensive. J Alexanders at one time was a decent place but has slowly become a ponderous and loathsome behemoth with a pension for pretentious attitude. Overpriced with marginal attention to detail and less toward service, this place is a must skip. Low country style chicken? How about chicken strips. Streaks lean toward marbled, with sinew! Save your cash. read more

I never have a bad meal whenever I go here. A bit pricier than what I usually go for when out with my family, but for special occasions this is by far my favorite place! Waiting staff is always pleasant, you are never rushed when your food arrives, and everything always tastes awesome! If you haven't tried this place before, take my recommendation and run with it! read more

I revisited this restaurant yesterday, excited after my previous visit. I would swear it was two different places. I was with a large group on sweetest day but we were seated within an hour which was great. The drink order was taken right away but then after we had discussed which appetizers to order we noticed the other end of our table already being served their appetizers before ours had even been ordered! Ok, so that was odd but we moved on and just skipped ordering them. For dinner I ordered the Cypress Salad and loaded baked potato. The baked potato looked good, but as I dug in I only ate about a quarter of the potato because that was about all the "loaded" toppings covered. There was very little cheese and bacon on it, and mostly just filled in with a gigantic glob of sour cream. Moving onto the cypress salad. The chicken was good, but the salad was literally just a mixed bagged salad you can buy at any grocery store. The menu said it came with bacon, and to their credit in my leftovers today I did find one small bacon piece but that was it. The mixed greens had huge chunks of cabbage and shredded carrots, like I said just store bought quality. The dressing left a bad taste in my mouth. I didn't even attempt the eat the tomatoes as they looked squishy and watery as soon as the plate was set down, I just put those on my abandoned potato. When I requested a box I was thinking I might enjoy it more with a sweeter dressing I had at home but that didn't help either. And the lettuce didn't stay at all in the 8 hours it was in my refrigerator, which just makes me assume I'm correct in my opinion that it was poured from a bag bought at a grocery store. One of the people at our table got the Maui steak. He said he was under the assumption since it was a pineapple marinade it would just have the flavoring of the pineapple. It came out closer to a pineapple soup poured onto his steak, he couldn't even finish it. When the bills came, they were all messed up. Remember how nobody had taken our appetizer order on my end of the table? That didn't stop them from charging us for them. When my friend informed the waitress she was over charged $13 for an app she didn't order the waitress just stared at her and said "ok". No apology or anything. My friend had paid in cash so already figured in the tip and everything minus the appetizer she didn't order and she explained that to the waitress. Our waitress didn't even take the bill from her to fix it she just left it sitting on the table with the money. And we knew who the appetizer belonged to so she ended up eating that $13 when we would've been happy to help her out with which bill it belonged on had she not been rude about it. Lastly, my other friend had asked for a certain kind of wine and upon getting the bill saw that they didn't give her what she wanted, but instead had given her the most expensive wine on the list, which wouldn't have even been a big deal except with everything else it just added to the overall atmosphere of the dinner. I will think twice about visiting again, which is very disappointing after how excited I was about my first visit. read more

I come here every year for my birthday to eat Swordfish. It may or may not be close to being an endangered species. I'm not sure, but it's once a year so... lol Anyway, every time I've been, it's always been a great experience. When it's not my birthday, and I'm coming just for their regular menu, I'm usually pleased. The Israeli couscous is just to die for! My family loves their carrot cake too. Their servers are usually very attractive too. I'm not sure if that's on purpose or not, but I've noticed. One major complaint I have is that sometimes, they over-season their vegetables which is a HUGE no-no. If you don't mind spending extra money for quality food and service, then this is the place for you. They also have a decent wine selection! read more

I've never had a bad meal here.. The rattlesnake pasta is delicious and even more so if you add shrimp. The steaks are great. The chicken is juicy and seasoned wonderfully.

I've been going to J's for years !!! It's always consistent with food & service. Over the past year we have seen a steady decline. Since we love supporting them, despite menu changes, or the occasional mishap we keep going. We spend quite a bit on gift cards every year for people & once we get a regular server we even give Christmas gifts to them for outstanding service & will gladly wait for their section tipping generously..... that being said, I can't make excuses for them anymore. Ive been there 3 times in July & each time was very disappointing. I get the grilled chicken salad, all 3 times it tasted as though the dressing was watered down & the lettuce was refrigerated uncovered, why did I keep getting it... because I figured maybe an off day ... give grace & try again, after 3 times .... not going back. We've had to tell the bartender how to make our drinks. Have gotten the wrong drinks, and the service ..... (at the table ) well I felt as though he'd rather be anywhere than at work. Again , people have off days, grace should be given, but this was all 3 times just in July, & in previous visits as well. This last time, I ordered a drink, got the wrong one ... didn't complain, figured I'd just drink it, got about halfway through when the server brought the correct one (I appreciated that), but then something that's NEVER happened in an upscale restaurant before ... he asked for the other drink. I said that's ok, I'll finish it, his reply ... no I'm taking it, you didn't get charged for it... he had his hand in front of me motioning me to hand him the glass. Typically they say feel free to enjoy that on us it was our mistake (they just have to dump them anyway).... I ordered during Covid, & returned giving many chances, it's just not the same place it was 2 years ago! My relationship with J's has come to an end after 20 years of frequent visits. Hope they can turn it around. I wish then the best. read more

"A White Cloth Affair" As we approached the door, there was a well dressed lady in the foyer appearing to put on her coat. Slowly the door opened. The lady was actually the hostess wearing a classy black two piece suit with large pearls draped on her neck. She welcomed us then proceeded to seat us for lunch. The server arrived in seconds giving us menus and to took our drink orders. My hot tea arrived in a beautiful white porcelain tea pot with the cup to match. Jackie ordered the sliced prime rib (well done) sandwich with horse radish and Au jus. I wanted the bacon cheese burger (well done) with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard with pickles on the side. (Pickles on the side prevent the burger from getting soggy). Also, I ordered a Caesar Salad with anchovies and crotons on the side. The salad came first. Impeccable, fresh, healthy, crunchy romaine lettuce. Caesar dressing well coated the salad, but not soggy. Anchovies were flawless and the crotons were tasty with the right amount of snap. Next, the prime rib sandwich and bacon cheese burger came out perfectly cooked with everything exactly the way we specified. Both sandwiches came with a large amount of match stick French fries that were delicious. My stacked bacon cheese burger was perfect and sliced in half with wooden sticks holding it together. Great Smokey bacon balanced out the burger for an even taste. We were impressed. I hope J. Alexander's continues the excellent experience. Usually, there is a small mistake but not today. Couldn't catch them slipping. Then, Our server offered dessert which was a slice of house made key lime pie. Creamy, rich and divine with a graham cracker crust. In total, a Five Star Performance. read more

The food is good, I'll give them that. However, $21 for chicken tenders and fries with a side of Cole slaw is ridiculous... costs more than the ahi tuna salad. They also charged $2.50 extra because it was a to-go order. I rarely eat here and the cost is the reason why. It's a chain restaurant. I'd rather spend that much at a local place. read more

Try again. For the last time. Filet was ordered medium.but came out no pink, in two pieces and was VERY tough. Daughter ordered rattlesnake pasta, she loves it. To spicy to eat. After 2 refills waiter said that was it for refills as there is a 2 refill limit. Ordered a peach drink prior to dinner that we have had before here only to be told no. Tried mocoto (spelling off) no luck. Prior to tip-$170.00. Happy 42 anniversary dear but never here again. read more

I had a wonderful dinner there with my daughter. She is in town from California and it is her favorite restaurant. I have the best grilled cod in lemon butter that I have ever had in my life. It was nestled on a bed of couscous and had coleslaw as a side dish. She had their prime rib and smashed potatoes. Of course she also had a side of their fantastic mac and cheese. Together we split a piece of their carrot cake. If you haven't had it you need to get it because it is scrumptious . It comes to you warmed and very tasty. It's a huge piece and we took most of it home because we couldn't eat it all at one time. The waitress and the serving staff were very polite and courteous and the food was cooked to perfection. I would recommend this restaurant for anybody in the Toledo area. read more

I have never been disappointed with this chain and this branch was no exception. Came for a business dinner with a colleague after booking a reservation on Open Table for Mother's Day. We were seated promptly (despite the large crowd waiting). It was the standard (not inflated) menu that can be viewed on the web. The server was excellent and the food spot-on. I highly recommend when in the Toledo area. Note: parking is sparse in front of the restaurant, but there is a lot behind with plenty of spaces. read more
