The service was great although not enough for the extra event. We had to wait over half an hour to get a drink. Other people sitting at our table were ordering 2 at a time in order to not wait as long. We were not allowed to go order our own drinks. My other comment is that there a few empty tables closer the stage that would have allowed us and others to have more space. Most likely they were reserved but the people didn't confirm or show up? If that was the case, I would think the tables would have been open for others by 1/2 an hour after the band started playing. Charlie's Place is always a fun and favorite spot in the summer on the patio and when they have live music. Service is always great and the best clean restrooms are a plus.

I parked under the bridge and walked across the street to Tolon on a cold winter night. As a…read morebusiness traveler I am looking for great restaurants that are not chains and provide a feel for the town I'm in. This restaurant was recommended to me by two people. One who travels frequently for business and the other who is in town frequently with their family. Both recommended Tolon as a wonderful place to sit down and have an excellent meal. I'm happy they did. I walked in the door and was warmly greeted by the hostess and asked to sit at the bar. The bartender greeted me immediately when I sat down and grabbed a bottle of water and the stainless steel cup for the water and poured me a drink. She provided me with the menu and the cocktail menu and gave me space in time to make my decisions. I went with a glass of Malbec, and the deviled eggs as a starter. My main course was another small plate: the beef short rib with polenta cake. The deviled eggs were phenomenal and had a unique flavor and we're just right sized for one. The beef short rib dish was excellent and maybe a little more than I could handle it once after the deviled eggs. Every person that brought food to me or that chatted with me while I sat at the bar was kind and welcoming.

There are a surprising number of excellence restaurants in Fort Wayne! During my recent visit, this…read morewas the last new one that I came to try. Next time I visit Fort Wayne, it will be the first one I go to! Much of the food is locally sourced, and the chef seems to be extremely good at what he or she does. I wasn't particularly hungry so I just ordered a salad. But what I didn't realize is that the salad that they brought me was an absolute masterpiece! And it was kale! I don't even like kale! But this was fantastic. I also had the whipped feta cheese with roasted pita bread as an appetizer. This place also had the best service of any restaurant I've been to in town. This is a definite go to location!

Um, YUM! Hubby and I came here while the kids enjoyed a day at the Zoo with their Grandparents…read more Chips and queso were good, server was nice and honest when we asked if something was spicy. Hubby had a omelette, I had the shrimp and grits. Holy cow it was so stinking delicious! So flavorful and a unique take on a southern classic. It tasted like they used pot roast gravy on it, just a swirl, and that's what gave it its unique flavor. I freaking love pot roast so it was like two amazing things in one. Almost like surf and turf. We need one of these in South Bend! There's another one in Indianapolis. Nom nom nom!

This place has a great ambiance but the food SUCKS…read more Some of the worst overpriced crap I've ever been fed. Call it a scratch kitchen. It's awful. Tried the smoked wings. Hot in temp, NO flavor. Also had the smoked queso. Sent it back 3 times to generate enough heat to make it taste like queso. Brought the fam down to dinner and it sucked. How do you eff up buttered noodles? Hard, no cheese. No butter. Terrible crap. Worst sauces in the world here. For wings, for their meatloaf. Was inedible garbage. Had to pay $100+ for a terrible dinner. Some of the worst crappy food I've ever eaten. I even had to ask the bartender if anything was good; she told me skip the steak based on who was on grill. Would never ever come back here if I wasn't staying at the hotel. Feel sorry for the homecoming kids that seem to be up in here right now. You going home with diarrhea not gonorrhea. Bartenders are great however just go here for a drink. Do not eat here.

Our group of six recently had an absolutely phenomenal dining experience at Copper Spoon in…read moredowntown Fort Wayne. We were hosting a special guest visiting from China, so we really wanted the evening to be perfect, and Copper Spoon delivered on every front. The food and drinks were outstanding across the board. We started with fresh oysters and delicious house breads, and our main courses--specifically the ribeyes and the salmon--were cooked to absolute perfection. As great as the food was, the absolute highlight of our evening was our waitress, Kate. She went exceptionally above and beyond to make sure our experience was nothing short of wonderful. Her attentive service, warm hospitality, and professionalism truly elevated the entire night for our group. If you're looking for an unforgettable meal with top-tier service in Fort Wayne, go to Copper Spoon and ask to sit in Kate's section. Highly recommended!

Overall, the ambience was lovely & the restaurant is beautiful inside. Would return for another dining experience... I just know to avoid this dish on my second try!

Bartenders are great and take good care of you. Food menu is limited as they don't have a kitchen, but you can get a few things. (If you're desperate for more food and it's summertime, there's a Dairy Queen across the street. They also don't mind if you bring outside food in.) Drink prices are reasonable. Lots of regulars at the bar, but they welcome all. If you read the one star reviews below, it had to have been a major misunderstanding because I have never witnessed discrimination here and I've seen all walks of life in this bar!
