“We loved our first visit to Toledo Spirits. A cocktail class brought us in but the friendly service, awesome atmosphere and delicious drinks made it an easy choice to stay for a while. Hats off to the owners that designed this space. There are cozy seating nooks, table seating and bar seating. Prices are reasonable, drinks are unique and refreshing. They also offer a specialized menu offering a variety of vegan, vegetarian and regular dining options. Our party of 6 had a great experience and we look forward to coming back!“

“Went with a few people on a Saturday evening for dinner. The food was awesome. Tried the bruschetta, Pierogies for appetizers. Was really good. I had the fried chicken sandwich. I have to say it was probably one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever eaten. I had a Manhattan and it was on point. Very good. It was really crowded. I guess that’s a testament to how good it is. The service was good considering how busy it was. I would recommend to try this place out.Parking: There’s a parking lot on the premises. Seems to be plenty of parking. And seems secure.“

“I had the most unusual experience. I've never actually had a situation like this before. It was something almost out of a movie, a romcom I'd imagine. I guess that made me John Cusack or Jack Black?My friends made a reservation and had the screen shot of it as proof even, but when we got there they didn't have our reservation or even know about it. They made it right by seating the four of us promptly at the MAIN table, a table for 8-10 people. It was very nice to have the extra space and a bit more light.The atmosphere is very quaint, almost like a speak easy. Lots of wood, a large bar for a small area, and very simply decorated. It can get a little loud in there, but that might just have been the table of ladies in the corner that wanted to be heard by the politician sitting with his wife across the room.We ordered appetizers, stuffed mushrooms and the beef tips. Both came out in a reasonable amount of time. The beef tips were amazing, tender and the "gravey" was thin and almost felt healthy. The mushrooms were ok. The stuffing in them had an obvious vegetable presence, corn and something else, something leafy. Not too much flavor maybe, very light as well. The issue was, on maybe my third or fourth mushroom, all of which I cut in half, I had what I thought was an under-cooked leafy vegetable. I couldn't rip it apart in my mouth, but I started to flatten it out, unroll it on my tongue. Growing as I unraveled it, I had to pull it out of my mouth, because part of it started to go down my throat. To my party's shock, as I pulled it out, I probably looked like I was a bad clown entertainer. It seemed bigger in my mouth, no jokes please, but it turned out to be a sheet of plastic! Balled up, clear plastic, like you would find shrink wrapped around a quart of mushrooms at the store. I don't think I swallowed any, at least not in that mushroom. I'd eaten enough, and they were good, so I ate the last one, very cautiously, probing like, and cut up, even after my discovery. Clean plate club I admit. We told the waitress, so that they could troubleshoot to make sure no other customers would have the same issue.We proceeded with dinner. My apple salad was good, different then what I have had elsewhere, not better, not worse, unique. I liked it. My salmon was great! Just not enough. The best part was the vegetables that came with it. Brussel sprouts and a mixture of a couple additional vegetables. If there was any problem with my main course, it would have just been the, maybe 3 oz piece of salmon. Everything tasted great. I had a local micro brew beer, and my friend had a couple over priced cocktails, our wives had wine.The chef/owner? Is a very nice and polite man. He came out and apologized in person for the plastic wrap. He also said that he comped our appetizers and my drinks. Everyone was so nice about the situation I felt bad when I actually had brought a Foody Card for a bit off my bill. I didn't feel bad when I saw that my wife and I still had a large bill though. I didn't know the price and portions going into the restaurant, that was my bad. I definitely didn't expect to find a surprise in my appetizer, that was their bad. The place is nice and we had great food, sans my surprise ingredient. It just seemed not right, spending that much after getting so much discounted and then having to go home and eat some frozen pizza slices because I was still hungry. I'd suggest more salmon on the PL8, or at least a lot more of those tasty vegetables.I'll probably go again, because the food WAS great. I just hope this was an odd, one-off occurrence, and that there is no sequel to my romcom movie.“

“We saw this place on our way to a bar and wanted to check it out. We stepped in and realized it was a music venue too! We came in early enough to get in without cover, but the space is really nice and has pinball machines. I'll have to come back when they have a band on because I bet this place gets packed. Really cool spot!“

“Immediately upon entering, a server was present to get me seated with almost zero wait time for my drink to arrive.Management came out and greeted me and asked me if I've been here before and engaged in a little small talk while I waited.The food came out within minutes of my order, granted business was light during lunch today.For the most part when experiencing Mexican dishes, I am partial to the flavor of my family and my kitchen but, I do not compare the plates. I grade them specifically on their presentation and on their flavor.I tried the enchilada with ground beef, the corn taco with cilantro onion and bistek, corn taco with cilantro, onion and barbacoa, enchilada with ground beef, tostada with bean and ground beef, and a side of beans, refried and rice.The presentation on every dish was delectable and the flavor was full and worthy of repeatable purchase.I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone who asked. The food is delicious, the service is great, the atmosphere is clean, comfortable and well decorated to enhance the experience.This restaurant gets all five stars!“
