    Firstly, this may not have been the ideal day to try this place as there is a massive group today…read more But I came in sat about 15 minutes before a server even came up to me. The server was nice but to busy to bother with most of my questions and seemed to be in a rush. The food was just okay nothing that really stands out as far as toast taste. The coffee was very under par for what you like to see at a little diner. All and all my experience was just okay. "Edit upon paying my bill it was over 17 dollars for a coffee, 2 eggs, home fries and soggy toast" Would not recommend for the price to quality ratio it just isn't there.

Kozy's has experienced a remarkable transformation in its dining offerings,…read morebringing real Mexican dishes back to Oak Harbor, Ohio, for the first time since the early 1990s. I enjoyed chorizo scrambled eggs, refried beans and home fries - see pic. It reminded me of my dear friend from work, Irma's family breakfast she'd share with us. Hubs had made his own feature, 2 huge pancakes, sausage & eggs, typical Oak Harbor diner fare executed very well; no pic because it's normal for Kozy's. We felt both of our breakfasts for fairly priced as they were plentiful. Kozy's still opens early for their regular breakfast features and has plenty of small town offering on their menu. They are now open later for Mexican dinner features as of 1/5/26, I'm looking forward for full on Mexican dinners to try! Jill, our server was as wonderful as ever--so pleasant, prompt service and kind, on our visit 1/9/2026. It was great to see so many long-time staff & friends still working there, under the new management. They always greet you when you come in and make you feel welcome. I especially enjoyed how enthusiastic the staff were about the new project and how the owner chatted about their new menu, when we paid for breakfast. The interior has been refreshed with a calm light blue gray paint, cream curtains, farmhouse wallpaper and tasteful Mexican pictures. The 50's mural has retired and extremely white ceiling lights have been toned down a bit. They still offer plenty of counter seats to dine at as well, nice for when you just want to quietly relax enjoy solid cup of coffee, good Mexican & check what's on Facebook/Pinterest a bit. Also, I enjoyed the beautiful Mourning Dove in her nest, in a small bush by the north-facing window, looking in at the diners activities. There's easy parking onsite and allowing quick access to the restaurant. They said they are in line for a liquor license but we all know that takes forever. I hope they ask town council for an amendment to get a boundary change for the DORA right away. Hopefully being in DORA would help move their license app to be approved. IMO there's nothing better than a good Margarita with my Mex or with today's to go changes, to have a treat at home. I wish there would be room for a nice patio there too lol! I'm so glad someone took a chance and opened Mexican food in town! I'm finding it hard to get excited about the new places popping up around here--it feels like they're all just trying to be the next burger joint, wing spot, or deep-fryer obsessed. I'm hoping we, as residents, can all lend a hand in supporting this family owned restaurant option.

You could come here and spend a whole day and never get bored. The Orchard is a classy spot with more formal dining room and a lovely back patio area that has a barn-like vibe.

    We had a party of 14 celebrating a birthday and were really looking forward to the evening…read more Unfortunately, there were several disappointing issues. Three of us had the $38 seafood fettuccine many of the muscle shells were broken causing the dish to have sharp pieces throughout that needed picked out before we could eat it. The fettuccine was also very stiff and sticky. Our server seemed extremely busy, which we completely understand, but I asked for a water refill when the food arrived that never came and went nearly an hour without anything to drink. He also wasn't able to return to check on our meals. With a restaurant as established as this one, we were surprised there wasn't additional support for the server with things like water refills and table checks. The final frustration was learning only at checkout that our group could not have separate checks. We had seven couples and specifically indicated who was together while ordering, so we naturally assumed the orders were being separated. Our bill was around $1,200, with couples spending anywhere from approximately $90 to $250, so simply dividing the total among several cards wasn't a practical solution. Had we been told about the policy before ordering, we absolutely could have planned accordingly. We understand that separating a large check after the fact can be difficult, but since the policy wasn't communicated to us beforehand, we felt the right thing to do would have been to make an exception rather than leaving our group to sort out the bill at the end of the evening.

    We ended up eating here 2 days in a row! I chose this restaurant for our Saturday night dinner…read morebecause the specials on the board out front and the dessert list looked great, and they were. Saturday night was pretty popular and the patio was full, so we sat inside, which is why our photos were rather dark. We started with a round of drinks. I had a glass of rose. Note that the drinks menu is several pages longer than the food menu, with beer, wine, and a variety of specialty and standard cocktails. They also have an espresso bar. It wasn't on the menu, but we ordered the Street Corn dip from the specials board on the sidewalk. We got a nice sized serving, and it was very good. I had the za'atar roast chicken for my entree, and it was delicious! The chicken comes with a lemon yogurt sauce, and Fattoush salad, but the salad was kind of a cross between Fattoush and tabbouleh, with pita chips and a grain base. It was a great combo, and the chicken was very juicy and seasoned nicely. I ended up with a slice of the almond cake, which was moist and had sliced almonds on top. Very much needed after missing out in the ice cream stop this afternoon! One of my friends had a bowl of gumbo and the other one had the taco pie. Since everyone enjoyed their dinner, and we confirmed that the patio was dog friendly, we returned with Miss Pup for brunch. We were able to snag a patio seat with a super friendly server. Miss Pup mostly hung out under the table, but managed to convince some other diners to pet her. We went with some plates for the table - Chicken and Waffle, Chilaquiles, and the special Quiche, which had sundried tomatoes, bacon and feta. All 3 portions were just right for us. The chicken was really moist and the waffle had slightly crispy edges. It came with some fruit and syrup. The quiche slice was generous and it came with a large portion of salad with a fruity vinaigrette. The sundried tomatoes were a really fun addition! I chose the chilaquiles. I'm pretty sure the chips were fried fresh (the ones last night were not), and I liked that it had beans and pico on top! This dish did not contain enchilada sauce, it was more like breakfast nachos, but I really enjoyed it. This place is definitely worth a stop, and the menu stands out from the standard island fish and chips and burgers fare (not that I dislike those things, just something different)!

    Came here again with friends to try it out again. Made lunch reservations at 12:30p on a Saturday…read more We got there a bit early. No problem. Server was nice and attentive. There were 8 of us. And 1 was a 2 yr old. The good. They have a good amount of choices to drink. Their wine, guest wine, and a full bar. So lots of choices. We tried the summer blush. It has strawberries and peaches. It was good. I enjoyed it. We bought a bottle for $25. Orders lunch. I got the Korean cauliflower appetizer. It was pretty small. Giant piece of leaf lettuce in it. And the ranch dressing was also inside of it. Not a ton of the cauliflower. Kinda disappointing to be honest. I ate it. I liked it. But not sure how it is supposed to be shared by a table with not a lot of food. Disappointing. My partner got the portobello sandwich. She said it was very sloppy and just OK. So food is kinda pricey and not really worth it. This is a nice winery. Plenty of choices to drink. Lots of space inside and outside to sit and drink and hang out. Wine is OK. Food in my opinion is pricey and not as good as it should be for the price. Staff was nice. Plenty of parking. This almost feels too touristy and just a money grab. Just my opinion. Probably skip next time I'm in the area. Try something else.

I wish our could remember our servers name but she was very attentive, was apologetic that our order was taking a little longer, which we expected when we saw the group before us, didn't mind at all as we were enjoying the conversation and drinks, and honestly there really was no extra wait time in our opinion. The kitchen did a great job that evening. I ordered off the "Secret Menu" and got the Chicken Triestana, and my husband ordered the fish and chips. When the food came to the table it was incredibly hot, full of flavor. My chicken was perfectly executed. The meat was hot, tender juicy, full of flavor and lemon and artichoke. It was enjoyed by myself, and my husband. Next was his fish, hot, crispy, thick, juicy. The cod also was very flavorful, the cole slaw was incredibly delicious and a perfect pair for the fish. The fries were hot, crispy and the perfect side also. Both meals were truly enjoyed, we can't wait to go back. The service, the kitchen staff, they knocked it out of the park in our opinion.
