The cheese mixture was seemingly cooked separately from the chicken for it had grilled texture fried cheese gets kind of a disappointment to me since the texture lacked overall flavor and taste aside from from the fried cheese texture and taste, more importantly based on the menu what I got this element no depth or flavor profile with thicker creamy texture like a "stuffing" it was just a gooey fried cheese AND there were NO sun dried tomatoes to really speak of but one anomaly seen in my photo when cut, a huge disappointment because one of the draws to me for this dish WAS the tomato element - the gravy was watered down and missing in action completely in this dish no flavor no substance at all - the chicken was dry and overcooked a major disappointment for an Italian restaurant serving a chicken dish, and again like everything else lacked any flavoring profile aside from the fried cheese - the potatoes were fine bland overall since the gravy did nothing for them would have loved some butter in the end or some seasoning of some type - while the restaurant service always seems to be top notch and friendliness of all the employees always high standards the kitchen continues to let them all down in the end - I can't recommend this fine institution at this time it seems they forgotten what made them a destination place to begin with all these years extremely excellent service great history within the restaurant and exceptional food, let's hope they recover before it's too late - Be Well!

I also used balsamic vinaigrette instead of the suggested ranch. It was so good I got this bowl for lunch and dinner on the same day. I also ordered the Berry Smoothie to drink. It was so refreshing. I definitely recommend adding this or any of their smoothies to your order when you visit. Service is always fast and friendly. Core Life tends to be pretty quiet so it's perfect for a work lunch or just a peaceful gathering. There's plenty of seating available and an outdoor patio for when the sun finally comes and stays out!

In the mood for some coney dogs after an afternoon at the Toledo Botanical Garden, I decided to…read moregive McCord Coney Island a try. On entering the restaurant, the lone server invited me to sit wherever I wanted, then delivered a menu. Looking things over, I was surprised that most of the menu was dedicated to breakfast offerings or tex-mex, with just a couple of hot dog choices. Regardless, I opted for a coney dog, Chicago dog, and onion rings, with a water to drink. Before tax and tip, my bill came to $12.51, which definitely felt pricy. There were only two other tables in use when I arrived, so the kitchen had my food ready pretty quickly. Unfortunately they forgot about the onion rings, so my waitress had to re-order them. My coney dog was fine, just indistinguishable from any of its brethren I have eaten over the years. The Chicago style also tasted very average, but was at least more visually appealing. Both were over-priced at $3.57 and $4.97 respectively, especially given their sizes. At least the onion rings were hot and plentiful. However when I went to pour myself some ketchup, I discovered the lid had been put on incorrectly, as it shot as much ketchup out the side as it did the nozzle. Had the bottle been rotated 90 degrees when I squeezed it, I would have looked like a GSW victim. PROS: attentive enough service, speedy kitchen CONS: small portions of just average food at a surprisingly high price Overall I found McCord Coney Island as being OK and might or might not return.

I can eat really spicy foods and I was able to eat about four bites of the reaper chicken strip. The only problem is I had mouth sores for a week from from eating the chicken. It wasn't because it was hot in temperature. It was hot in flavor. The lady that took our order did warn me but she was nice about it. We all ordered the number three. You can get a different seasoning for the tender and the sandwich .The seasoning on the fries and the wings were good. We will go again, but I know not to order the reaper next time.

When you're here, you're family…read more The roasted carrots were a great starter. A lot of bold, tangy flavors in the sauce that went well with the sweetness of the carrots. And a healthy amount of carrots too. Very good for sharing around the table. The jalapeno crab corn hush puppies were a little too much crab for both my and my partner's tastes. I enjoy crab and he does not. They were a little fishy tasting. They were basically a crab cake. The jalapeno aspect was mostly non-existent. Definitely not in any way spicy. The arancini were perfectly serviceable, but nothing to write home about. The breading was a really nice texture. I'm so glad we tried these, but wouldn't order them again. We were told the Kafta burger was the best burger in Toledo. It is definitely the most unique. My partner loves Kafta, so having it in a burger with a Greek salad on top was quite good. The Zatar fries were okay. I don't think there was a lot of extra flavor from the Zatar, and I think they could have used more salt. Not bad, but we liked the regular fries better. Another member of the party ordered the Cajun fries as well, and they definitely had some heat, especially with the red chimichurri sauce (which is....90% garlic? ). Two of us ordered the NY strips, rare and medium rare. I think they both came out closer to medium-rare and medium respectively, so perhaps consider asking for rarer than usual here. This might be due to the thinner cut. They were juicy and had nice flavor anyway! The cowboy butter add-on was nice. The star of the show here, for me, were the Truffle Mashed Potatoes! Holy moly. Often times, truffle stuff either doesn't taste very much like truffle or it's overpowering, but not this. This is one of the most perfectly balanced uses of truffle I've ever encountered. I would eat these by the quart! Super texture and excellent flavor. All cocktails were expertly mixed and thoroughly enjoyed! The water was refreshing and tasted nicely filtered. Restroom was clean, parking was ample, even with a packed house. Consider coming on Teta Tuesdays, when the mother of this family comes in to showcase a traditional comfort food dish that she prepares herself! We called ahead and came with a group of 6 at 8pm on a Tuesday and were seated promptly in an otherwise quite full room. It was jubilantly loud, and that made it a little hard to talk across the table until most people finished their dinners around 9pm. Consider the noise levels if you are dining with anyone hard of hearing. Service was warm and friendly, very knowledgable and attentive. This is a cozy place that feels warm and inviting. It's quite small, so do know that they get busy and that a reservation may be necessary at peak times.
