It was certainly a good visit. They listed 12 daily soups, along with a planned sandwich menu, as well as sides. It was a pleasant surprise to find out they offered free taster samples of the soups, so you knew exactly what to expect. Loved that. While I sampled at least 5-6 different flavors, I landed on loaded baked potato. It was a tough decision over a wonderful lobster bisque, a creamy Wisconsin cheese soup and a delightful French onion. Believe me, it was a tough choice. I paired that with an Italian sandwich for the meal. All smiles when it came down to flavor! My family thoroughly enjoyed all they had as well. The only drawback for not awarding this 5 stars for our visit was pricing. It was pretty spendy. The portions were good. The food was good. The price...not so good. 4 meals and drinks...a tad over $78. (Included taxes) It's tough as a small business owner to make ends meet and still stay competitive in the market. Hopefully this location continues to prosper in today's restaurant realm. Now again, I'm not disappointed in what I got. Service was friendly and helpful. Restaurant was clean and organized during our visit. I'd recommend it. And likely return in the future.

Core Life tends to be pretty quiet so it's perfect for a work lunch or just a peaceful gathering.

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!

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.

The weight staff was very helpful, very efficient. They did not waste motion. We were seated quickly and well. A few minutes later, we had drink orders and I asked about appetizers and she said as soon as they come out, we'll get them to you and so we got some. The fries came out burning hot, which is exactly how fries should be. Hot fries, and cold ranch make a wonderful appetizer. We also got the cheese bread which was worth eating too. Practically a pizza on its own. I ordered the pub burger. It might sound a little mundane, but it was sublime. The bacon was well done and crispy, but it's not prefab frozen stuff. It was real bacon. I enjoyed the cheese. It was a properly done burger. Not overcooked not undercooked just right in my opinion. Exactly what I asked for. My sweetie got the side salad to go with her sandwich instead of fries and she is delighted, which she normally isn't. She's usually pretty tough on salads. She says it was crispy and yummy. So perfect. I don't know if I've ever heard her use that to My little shared a pizza margarita thing. They were delighted. They threw it like a herd of velociraptors, which is pretty atypical for them. Usually, they smell it very strongly and lick it once and then move on. We have very few leftovers, which is not usual for us. Only took one to go box, and that's for the pizza for the kiddos. Normally, I'm an imperial stout guy and so I didn't know if they'd have anything for me. They recommended a sounders porter and I'm usually not a porter guy, but it was good. I liked it. That's a good recommendation. I like the friendly, family, friendly, casual atmosphere. They've got a very large menu and they've got some really nice items on it. Their food comes out hot fresh and properly cooked. What's not to love? If I'm ever up in this area again, which is likely, I expect to be stopping by here again.

You have to really emphasize you want them well done if you want them even remotely crispy though and they don't put a lot of sauce on them at all so you may want to pay for extra for additional. Their Philly has just enough filling to not get mad at it and tastes pretty good. Combos are the way to go. You can get a gyro/sandwich, steak fries and a soda for about $13. Our last trip we bought a gyro combo, Philly combo, additional Philly and 10 wings. It came to about $40. Not bad. Quick place to grab dinner if like me, you forget to pull the meat out of the freezer.

Like Fen said, good luck finding this place based on the address. The pleasantly declarative "You…read morehave arrived" from my car's nav system took place in front of what I took to be a hospital grounds. There's nothing close to the road; it's all back a few hundred meters on a windy driveway. What exists at this address is actually the University of Toledo medical center (right) and a Hilton hotel (left). The restaurant is inside the hotel. At first I thought that their slick, over-animated website had sold me a bill of goods. There was NOBODY else there. Restaurant pickings on Sunday night in Toledo are slim, so I thought that I had lucked out to find a legitimate, classy restaurant with top-notch food and a swanky vibe. Nope. It was handsome in that hotel-restaurant way, so there was no impediment to enjoying my meal but nothing to sell the place either. And the absence of other diners is usually a strong point, but nobody wants to walk into a completely empty restaurant, right? Thankfully, the food redeemed them. Lamb chops, B+: You can tell that these weren't the choicest cuts of meat, but they were prepared very nicely in a rosemary and red-wine demiglace. Very tasty. Calamari, B: Fried squid is always worth eating, but there is definitely good calamari and mediocre calamari. This avoided mediocrity by sporting a lighter batter and being served with a savory, chunky marinara. Thai cashew rolls, C: The weak link. I had forgotten that they had cashews and thought that there were crunchy chunks of carrot in the rolls. There was something unpleasantly creamy inside the roll, almost like cream cheese. It wasn't listed on the ingredients for this dish, though. The sweet chili sauce saved this dish from being a total wash. Crab cakes, A: The star of the meal. These were some of the best crab cakes I've ever tasted, and that's saying something. In Toledo, OH? Yes! Simple--just crab meat and a few vegetables, still mostly crunchy. No bullshit fillers or flavorings. There was a lemony sort of dressing which set off the crab cakes (and the accompanying salad) very well. Delicious.
