Blue cheese burger and fries, the Sodbuster Bar.
Ron J.

This place is awesome! Every time I come in I always get the Burger and Blue but all the burgers are apparently delicious. The fries are by far some of the best I have ever tasted and so are the onion rings. The staff are real nice and so is the owner Paul, he always has something funny to say. As far as price goes it is really competitive for an actual burger place. Unlike most burger places however the burgers are always consistently good. I'd give a con about the place but I don't think I can.

Great pub I used to go every Wednesday with my Mom & Dad when I was little. Everything on the menu is superb!

My favorite place to hang out in Sylvania. A little loud when there is a band but good drinks and great burgers.

And I was really struggling over the lobster bites and a special prosciutto burrata appetizer so guess what? She sent out a half order of the special on the house so we could try them both!!! The beef carpaccio was melt in your mouth and don't get me started on the fresh pasta. Everything was house made and DELICIOUS! And the filet was cooked perfectly, just like the al dente pasta. My husband's chicken parmigiana was yummy also. And the desserts were delicious. We will definitely be back!!! Best place we've eaten at in a long time. And the atmosphere was casual and inviting.

We started with the whipped feta, lobster bites, and the garlic bread. The whipped feta is an absolute must have. I will be dreaming about this until I have it again. They give you toasted ciabatta and cucumbers on the side to dip. Even with the cucumbers, this dip is absolutely amazing. Very refreshing. We went with the miso glazed Chilean Sea bass & the chicken parm. My husband really enjoyed his Sea bass and I absolutely loved my chicken Parmesan. It had the best spaghetti I've ever had in my entire life. The sauce had a tiny bit of heat that really added to the flavor. I loved my meal!

Our waitress was very attentive polite and professional. After a short wait dinner was served which was outstanding. Prepared properly with a nice presentation.

Both of these stars are for our server! We had an excellent server, I can't remember his name now,…read morebut I think it was Carter or something like that. He looked very young, but he was obviously old enough to bring drinks. The food was mediocre and that's being generous, the drinks were nothing special, and the value just wasn't there. This was my birthday dinner and to be honest we were trying to go somewhere else, but they weren't open on a Monday. We came to J Alexander's, again not my first choice but a steak is a steak, right? Wrong. My sister-in-law ordered steak medallions, and they literally look like hamburgers. They were thin, slightly overcooked, underseasoned, and the overall cut just did not look good. My husband got a ribeye and again the sear on it was poor. The steak had a grayish cast to it. Not exactly appetizing! I ended up ordering the ribs, they come with a plum barbecue sauce and it was a generous portion but again they were nothing special. I got it with a baked potato. That was a bit dry and a bit hard. I think I brought home about 75% of my meal. We did get a very good appetizer. It was a raw tuna mince served on a crispy rice croquette. I got a gin and tonic that was not even really drinkable. They served it in a giant glass, the size you would get a soft drink in and it was almost entirely tonic. Way to ruin a nice shot of Hendricks. My sister-in-law had an espresso martini, and I don't think they use real espresso- but I could be wrong. M all four of us had something different and none of us had a good meal. If you are charging $50 for a stake medallion supper, the medallions should not look like hockey puck hamburgers. The atmosphere is beautiful, we waited a bit to be seated despite calling ahead of being told we didn't need a reservation or to be put on a waitlist. The bartender was slow and obviously inexperienced, but again both of these stars are really for our server. I got a free piece of carrot cake because it was my birthday meal and that was not good either. It came out and it tasted like it was still half frozen. I don't think I'll be back here anytime soon. It put a damper on my birthday a bit.

I ordered the grouper which had a spicy sauce on it so I do recommend that if you don't like spice and not to order it under the group of the polenta and broccoli was cooked to perfection and out of this world. It was absolutely unmatched, and I can't wait to go back and try anything new. The fusion of flavors is unreal.

Go to their website and simply click away on you preferences. It's really easy and worth the expended effort. The staff was very nice and accommodating. We arrived and were quickly seated. Water was brought to the table, but without ice. I asked for ice and pretty quickly received some. I would suggest always serving ice water! Warm tap water isn't very palatable to most folks. First impressions of the dining room... So, it's a fairly small room without carpet. No tablecloths or individual table lamps (this doesn't bother me, but some may find this type of dining without such refinements unacceptable). I believe in keeping costs down. Take the savings and use them for buying better ingredients. Oh, a plate of bread with an absolutely delicious compound butter was served when the water was served (a little amuse-bouche). The butter was a lemon, garlic, basil combination that was outstanding!!! Everyone loved it. We split a bottle of wine (no cocktails, sorry). That was fine. They have a nice, simple wine and beer menu. We also ordered Appetizers. If you try any of the apps, try the bang bang shrimp! Better than anything you'll get at the Japanese Steakhouse. Seriously, next time I go back, I'll probably order this for my entrée along with the Caesar salad, and more of that delicious bread! Our other app was the calamari. It was served with marinara, and perfectly cooked. Both great appetizer choices. For our entrées... I ordered the halibut, and what an amazing job chef Marcel did with it! It was sauteed with some small diced vegetables and capers, served over polenta. Maybe a bit too done, but that's just me. I like my fish to be more on the rare side. I'm not faulting anyone for this because I never specified. It was still a great, creative and delicious meal. Two of my dining partners ordered the chicken paillard. Unfortunately, they said these were overcooked and too dry to really enjoy. They both looked delicious though. Another person ordered the salmon and said it was delicious. Our 5th person ordered the mixed green salad with duck. So this was something that really intrigued me as I love duck, and rarely see it. The salad greens/bean sprouts were very fresh, really nice. The duck was sliced very nicely, perfectly cooked, but cold. The temperature of the duck is intentional. I think it would be a better dish if served warm, but that's just me. It also lacked flavor. A nice Asian soy based dressing would have been perfect with this. Soy sauce, rice vinegar, scallions, garlic, ginger, sesame oil... Anyway, we ended with a shared piece of carrot cake and coffee. The carrot cake was out of this world, and it has to be good for you since it's made out of a vegetable. The coffee is french press and should have steeped longer, but we all love strong coffee. We'll definitely go back! Nice, hidden little spot with some great food and staff. Not too expensive, clean and an easy destination.

I realized however that I didn't realize the challenges that elderly/disabled people face when dining out. I had taken my mom to her cardiologist and he suggested that I take my mom out for a late lunch- which I enthusiastically embraced. Upon arriving at My Way Bistro, we were able to park in a handicapped parking spot with a slope to the sidewalk, which was helpful to my mom, who relies upon a walker for mobility. Upon arriving inside the restaurant, we were given our choice of booths or tables. I never realized before that the tables and booths are very high for someone with limited ability to lift their arms. There were no other options that we saw and my mom did her best to settle into a booth that I found comfortable but the table was clearly too high for my mom. She was a great sport however and made do with the high tabled booth. My mom ordered a lamb gyro with fries and I ordered my usual Georgia Reuben with fries. My mom was very pleased with her gyro. It had lots of vegetables and meat, and she said the tszazicki (sp?) sauce was delicious. She also enjoyed the fries. I loved my Georgia Reuben because the cole slaw has a kick of black pepper and other ingredients that make it taste amazing. The homemade Thousand Island dressing was soooo delicious! I was a little disappointed in the fries because they were fried more than I prefer but were still good. Best of all, we both took home leftovers! Seriously, the plates couldn't adequately support the generous portions of food with heaping amounts of fries- and I say that as a good thing! The ambiance is that of an upscale sports bar, but was pretty quiet when we were there, even though screens were turned on. Our server was very responsive and efficient. Overall a great experience and I definitely recommend checking out My Way Bistro for amazing sandwiches (also offer salads that I haven't yet tried) that are levels up from typical bar food.

I was here for a business lunch, so I wasn't as obnoxious as I otherwise would be in taking pictures. One of my colleagues and I ordered chicken sandwiches- a crispy and a grilled sandwich. Both came with fries. My personal preference is for thicker fries and the fries here were definitely thin. If you prefer thin fries, you would be happy. My grilled chicken was definitely on the far blackened/grilled side- which is more charred than my preference. Another colleague who ordered a grilled chicken salad commented that the chicken was more blackened than he had anticipated. Another colleague ordered the chopped salad and appeared to be happy with his choice. If I ever return to this restaurant, I would definitely opt for a salad, as I had salad envy of the two that ordered salads. Our service here was very efficient without making a huge impression. Absolutely nothing wrong and nothing that stood out except that our orders were accurate and she checked in with us as appropriate. No complaints with service. I left without finishing my lunch entree' and chose not to take home leftovers, as I knew I wouldn't want to eat it. Again, just personal preference re the grilled chicken and fries. I felt that the value versus cost was on the high side. The sandwich was roughly $16.00 (including tax) with water as a beverage.While the company and ambiance were enjoyable, it felt like an expensive lunch as far as my sandwich. I've posted the menu from the restaurant's website below. I didn't compare the prices online vs in person as many restaurants have raised prices these days. I would go back but wouldn't make a point of it for the food.
