Andrew is the perfect waiter. Relaxed, but attentive. Super kind! Also, the food was nice. Old fashioned was great. And the space is modern and clean. read more

Ordered: sourdough appetizer, kids buttered noodles, kids grilled cheese, buffalo chicken sandwich, steak fries. For the adult meals we subbed Caesar salad for the fries. The good: Strong service. Nice atmosphere. Convenient location. Adult meals were solid - good Caesar salad, good chicken sandwich, good steak although cooked rare vs my order of medium rare (better than overcooked). Kids meals were comped without question (see below). The bad: Slooooooow back of house and bar. Kids meals were not good, at least for kids - butter noodles were almost soup from the amount of butter, and grilled cheese made with sharp Swiss and some kind of tomato jam on it. Menu did not hint that the grilled cheese had anything other than bread or cheese, and my kid hates tomatoes. Also, the kitchen messed up our order so everyone was done eating by the time the grilled cheese even came out. The ugly: pretty expensive and I still need to go find food for my kids read more

Assembly Downtown Kitchen & Bar - Cornbread - New American Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

I stayed in the Hilton Garden Inn hotel here and was super pleased to find thia amazing restaurant located in the lobby. I was starving and really needed some food and a cold beer. I ordered the chicken sandwich and it was DELICIOUS!!! I seriously think it's the best I have ever had! I also enjoyed some amazing truffle fries with alilioli. Best part was the service though! Monica was super fun and attentive. I will absolutely be back. read more

Came in town for a concert and it was the perfect pre concert stop. They were very organized to accommodate the traffic and everything came out super fast. Food was tasty and my sister enjoyed her cocktails. Cute decor although we did not love the couch type seating. read more

Service and drinks were good. Most of the entrees were decent. My husband and I were craving for the Steak & Frites and was so disappointed. #1 - No frites! They supplement it with potato chips #2 - steak has no seasoning nor flavor at all! Even with the chinichurie sauce, it didn't fix the flavorless meat. In fact, my husband & I stomach problems all night. Also, Manager on duty comped the meal and when the final bill came in, she credited the entire bill instead of the bill for my husband & I. We were with another couple. We thought that was an assumption without asking how it should the credit be applied. Not happy! read more

I had a great experience at Assembly in Toledo! The atmosphere is welcoming, the food and drinks were excellent, and the service really stood out. Lori and Musaa were absolutely lovely, both were friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome throughout our visit. Their hospitality made the experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend Assembly to anyone looking for a great place to eat and enjoy a night out in Toledo. read more

Came here for restaurant week in Toledo with a few friends. Absolutely loved it. From the ambiance, to the service, the decor, the food and desserts. All around As. Our favourite dish was the mushroom pasta. If I had to give any criticism, I'd say, my salad was supposed to have honey cheese topping which wasn't there and I wouldn't put whipped cream on a creme brûlée. But those are so minor. Still very pleased. read more

I had won a giveaway from Assembly and Hilton hotel downtown and was so excited to finally try Assembly. It's perfectly situated inside her Hilton hotel and right in the corner downtown. They have great seating for large crowds, seating at the bar so anyone can some and sit and watch the big game on the TV, and seating for those looking for a more intimate meal. This place has it all. We sat at the bar and wanted to try some small bites and contains to try all the flavors they had to offer. I tried the cranberry orange smash and the apple fizz cocktails. Both were delicious and had amazing flavors. We ordered the French onion soup and the mushroom bruschetta. Both were delicious. The French onion soup had great flavors, but the mushroom bruschetta was the star for me. It had different flavors and was a different take on a classic bruschetta. read more

Hands down. Andrew our tableside attendant and the Bangarang Bartender Skyler were the most amazing part of the entire experience. The Chocolate Martinis were fantastic. Four.5 of five Hurrahs for you both hurrah.hurrah.hurrah.hurrah.rah. sirrahs. read more

We stopped in a for a few drinks on 9/12/2025. The bartender was friendly and his service was excellent. The issue was the terrible smell. From the moment we entered the door to the hotel and even into the bar, it smells awful. It must be some sort of sewer gas. Even near the intersection of Monroe and Summit outside after, the smell is strong. We had one drink and had to get out of the area. read more

We enjoyed the local sourdough appetizer and thought it was pretty good! Love a good sourdough! We had a couple drinks which were average I'd say. My boyfriend had the vegetarian Ruben made with beats and no meat! He loved it as he loved Ruben's growing up and has never heard of a vegetarian variation. I had the NY strip steak, it was good other than the steak being a little overcooked. It wouldn't have been too good if it didn't have the citrus chimichurri sauce. The fries are some of the best fries I've had! The Mac and cheese was a hard no! Kinda flavorless. We loved the automosphere of the restaurant read more

Andrew was an outstanding server and truly made our entire dining experience memorable. From the moment we sat down, he immediately understood our vibe--friendly and attentive without being intrusive while we were catching up with friends. That balance is rare and he handled it perfectly. His recommendations were spot on. The food he suggested ended up being some of the best choices we could have made, and you can tell he really knows the menu and cares about helping guests have a great experience. He even created an amazing mocktail for me that was thoughtful, creative, and honestly one of the best non-alcoholic drinks I've had at a restaurant. Andrew's personality really stands out--he's personable, fun, and incredibly intuitive about what guests need. Service like that makes a huge difference, and he absolutely elevated our night. We'll definitely be back and will ask for Andrew again if we can! read more

We dined tonight at Assembly restaurant during Restaurant Week 2026. A lovely restaurant inside The Hilton Hotel in downtown Toledo. We were seated quickly and our server Andrew was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Our food was amazing! The tempura shrimp appetizer was so crispy and delicious, I would go back just for that. My husband loved his Beef short rib on mashed potatoes with sweet glazed carrots. He cleaned his plate. This place is definitely worth going downtown to eat. They also have Happy Hour at the bar from 4-6. Parking in the attached Glass City Center garage only cost 3.00 for the two hours we were there. read more

My husband and I had to drive to Toledo (from Detroit) the other day for business and decided to stop for a "nice lunch"; based on reviews, I chose the Assembly. It wasn't horrible, but we wouldn't eat there again or recommend it to anyone. With a menu that had less than a dozen main entrees (and maybe three entree salads?) you would think the server would consider mentioning if they were out of something, since there were so few options to choose from to begin with. But she didn't. You would also think (or at least I would, I waited tables for a decade) that if one person orders soup as a starter and the other person subs out their fries for a salad that the server would bring the soup and salad out TOGETHER before the meal. But she didn't. I sat there watching my husband eat his soup while my stomach grumbled and when I finally got my sandwich and salad, I ate my salad while my sandwich got cold. The kitchen was slow. Super slow. It was around 2pm and there were three other tables, plus a handful of singles at the bar. There was no reason for food to take so long to come out. My husband's fries had the look and taste of fries that had been sitting a while, quickly re-fried, and then sent out to the table (at barely room temperature). Our server was happy to replace them when we said something, but they should have never been sent out (hubby is a chef, and as mentioned, I worked in food service for a decade; neither of us would have sent out fries like that). He said his burger was "okay"; my sandwich was pretty good -- but like I said, between the service (best described as "okay") and food (barely "okay"), it's not a place I will go back to if I have to travel to Toledo again. read more

Grilled chicken was excellent. Andrew and Dereck were awesome servers, they checked with me often to see if I needed anything. Great service at the end of a work week. read more

KC at the bar is the absolutely best! I am here for a week at a time and he makes my time away from home enjoyable. I always look forward to spending my nights at the bar with KC read more

Came here for restaurant week. My son had the braised short rib and loved it. I had a bite and it was wonderful. My wife had the scallops risotto. The scallops were perfect. The chocolate peanut butter cake was fantastic. They do a great job with mixed drinks too. Me, I had the walleye po boy. The marmalade was fantastic the walleye maybe over breaded but that's ok. Restaurant week found us a place we will be back to. read more

Thought I would try something new for my birthday dinner. From drinks to dessert everything was delicious! The ambiance is wonderful upscale casual. Our waiter was very attentive without being overbearing. He recommended the bread appetizer which the description was 'eh', but it was so good!! I got the grilled chicken which was tender and flavorful and I loved the truffle mashed potatoes. My friend got the pork belly and a side of mushroom au gratin. I want an entire meal size of that mushroom au gratin! We both had the pistachio crème brûlée which was also good. The Chantilly cream on top really made the dessert. We will definitely going back there. I specifically want to try some of the lunch items! read more

Assembly Downtown Kitchen & Bar - Apple Fizz and some gin drink my friend had. Lol - New American Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Great staff and ambience! If you're at Glass City Center for an event, this is a great place for lunch or dinner. The beet Reuben sandwich is my go to at Assembly. When I mention this item to friends, the usual reactions are "what?!" or "ewwww." It's unlike any other Reuben I've had - not greasy at all, and the classic Reuben seasonings really shine. read more

Paid for parking, walked several blocks, arrive at the restaurant and happily see that 80% of the dining room is empty. Tell the waitress "two please" and am told "there is going to be a wait...at least 30 minutes". I literally look around and see an empty dining room, she notices me looking and says "we just had 2 large parties arrive as you can see, both at the same time. And we have a small kitchen." Well...what I could "see" was what looked like 2 tables with about 6 people. Perhaps 2 tables with 2 people. That's it. There were about 20 empty tables out not more. How small is this kitchen? Why is the dining room accommodative to 40 tables but the kitchen can only do 3? Why would i ever, ever attempt to go to this restaurant again? Unless you are staying at this hotel, i highly recommend against going here. Even if it looks empty. read more

Right after dropping our bags off at the hotel, we were famished and decided to have a meal at Assembly American Brasserie. Less than half the restaurant was filled, yet we had to wait 20 minutes for a table, which I thought was odd. Still the service was excellent except for that wait. I loved the ambience of the restaurant, it felt both fancy and yet comfortable. We sat down and we ordered some drinks. My mother got a glass of pinot grigio, my brother got a cider, and I ordered The Grind which was an amazing mixed drink of coffee, bourbon, and other wonderful ingredients. We skipped the appetizer and went straight for ordering main courses. My brother got the Assembly Smash Burger. He absolutely loved it, and I have to say I was a bit envious of his choice, it looked delectable. My mom wanted something simple and got the ultimate grilled cheese, I ate a piece as well as took a few of her parmesan herb frites. They were so yum! I got the Beef Bourguignon. It was a beautiful dish, plenty there to fill, but slightly disappointing. It was a bit light on the beef. We ended our meal by having smores. Amazing dessert! Perfection! All in all, it was a satisfying meal. read more

This is a nice contemporary restaurant attached to the Hilton hotel downtown Toledo. There is a full service bar and plenty of seating. This place has lots of seating opportunities. The menu has several good options. The smash burger was delicious, the cheese is a strong cheese. The Walley was great. The French fries are flavorful. The Coleslaw was very bland. The corn chowder was fair however for $9 spend the money on a side or towards an appetizer. read more

We reserved a table for our Christmas Family meal having never heard of the place. Everything was wonderful! The service, ambiance and food were exceptional. We were all very pleased. Beautiful place. Our server Desani was lovely and accommodating for our party of 10. We all loved our meal and the experience and would happily return read more

My wife took me out for a birthday dinner. We ordered two cocktails which were pricey, but excellent. For food, we ordered the King of France for me and the Steak Frites for my wife. My dish was good but not great. The sides were roasted baby carrots, which were very good and baby onions, which were too tough. The truffle whipped potatoes were very good. The protein was a bone-in roasted short rib with an espresso demi glacé which was flavorful and very tender but a bit salty. My wife's dish was substandard; the steak was chewy, too tough and the frites had excellent flavor, but alas, were lukewarm, not piping hot, as they should have been. The service was excellent. The ambience was tasteful with an industrial vintage decor. For my birthday I received a complementary dessert and I chose the pistachio crème brûlée with a marshmallow chantilly, which was delicious. Piping hot frites would've raised my rating to a four and oftentimes can usually save any dish. read more

My daughter and her fiancé chose this restaurant to celebrate their rehearsal dinner and everyone had a lovely evening. They seated our party of 13 in a private dining area and Andrew was our waiter. Andrew was amazing. He accommodated our special requests and made the bride and groom feel special on this spectacular evening. At the end of the evening he even helped us capture the evening on camera! The food was delicious. The warm garlic bread, mahi mahi chef's special and the chocolate cake were to die for. Everyone loved their food and left with a smile on their face. A wonderful place to enjoy such a special evening. I highly recommend. read more

Service was great, had a huge group that got stuck due to weather, but the team here took it in stride. Would totally recommend!

The restaurant has very nice accommodations and a big bar. They have a good burger and the martinis are nice and full. I would love to see them add a grilled chicken sandwich, steak salad and grilled chicken salad. I would also recommend a Goose Island IPA to spice up the selections. A lot of travelers like Goose Island and many airports carry it. A grilled shrimp salad will keep a lot of customers happy. A pizza goes very well with a cold beer any day of the week. They are located in the Hilton on Summit Street. If you're looking for modern accommodations this is the best downtown. read more
