Speakers were ridiculously loud. Out of curiosity, I pulled out my phone decibel monitor and it was recording ranging from 85db to 119db consistantly and we were at a table furthest from the speakers! The place was about 3/4 full. Busy, but not ridiculous. The waitress checked on promptly and brought us our drinks (water), but we asked for a bit more time to look at the menu. We didn't see her again for 35 minutes, when my wife crossed the room and asked her to take our order. She admitted she had forgot about us. We ordered a salad and a sandwich. No sight of our waitress for another 30 minutes. She apologized and said it was a hectic night. She came back and brought us more water, aplogized again, thanked us for our patience, told us we would be compensated for the delay and shared that a cook had quit on them that night and another had called in sick. She could not tell us how long, but when asked if it would be more than another 15 minutes, she said our food was currently being made and it would be out in less time than that. 20 minutes later, no sign of our waitress or food and so we left. At that time, the restaurant was less than 1/2 full. A very disappointing evening out.

There's a bar on one side with a wall separating it from the "dining room" but there are windows so you can see over. There were chairs stacked up in the corner next to a defunct retro game. It felt like I was in the basement of an Elks club in the 80s. All it was missing was a cloud of smoke and a pull tab machine on the wall. It was us and another couple that I overheard say was also their 1st time in. The waitress said the prices for all steak and chops were $5 more than the menu. Bringing my steak to $33. We became very concerned when a nervous cook kept popping in and out of the kitchen accompanied by the sound of a microwave door opening and closing several times. The neighboring couple asked what was good and the waitress just stared reading the menu off. My husband ordered a burger and fries. The burger looked pretty good and the fries were hand cut but there were only about 10 of them. My steak was cooked appropriately and tasted good but 50% of it was fat so that was disappointing. It was served with the Veg of the day (a mixed bean blend) and a small baked potato. The beans were watery didnt have a speck of seasoning or butter on it. It looked like something youd see on a tray at the old folks home. The potato was small for a baked potato but adequate. The waitress had also asked if we'd like bread. When it came out it was 2 slider buns with what I assume was margarine. It wasn't edible. My husband ordered an IPA for his first beer and said it was skunked. No one else came in the whole time we were there. 6:30ish on a Saturday and the only 2 couples there were newcomers. I dont know what that says about the place. Can't say I'd order a steak again but I might return for a burger.

So, we used to come here several times a year (special occasions) for 30+ years. Not sure why, but…read moreit seems other restaurants were as good and easier to get to. We haven't been here since my birthday 4 or 5 years ago. Anyway, the ambiance is great. It's not changed since the 80's and it really has that small, intimate, elegant feel that can really make a place special. It's comfortable, clean and very welcoming. Unfortunately, the food can be really hit or miss. When they get the veal piccata right, it's the best in town. That said, sometimes it so tough, it's inedible. When they get really nice, fresh fish, it's amazing. When it's not that great... I guess we all know. Other parts of a great night out are the drinks and the waitstaff. Our waiter (Mr. Ponytail guy) came to our table after a nice, thoughtful delay between arrival and getting settled in. I think he's been there since the place opened so he does know what he's doing. In fact, I've had him in the past and he can do an incredible job (if he wants to). I guess this wasn't the night he wanted to. After going over the specials, none of us ordered a cocktail, which disappointed him. None of us ordered salads or the famous lobster bisque (which we would have if we were asked) and nobody ordered any of the specials. Mr. Ponytail guy made it obvious we were wasting his time and basically chose to neglect us for the rest of the evening. He didn't even bring the entrees out of the kitchen. Another group of folks carried out food out of the kitchen and Mr. ponytail guy did a really lame attempt at serving the plates to us and then briskly walked away. He never came back to check our satisfaction or to see if we wanted anything else. That said, the busboy was ON-IT! My water glass never ran out and there were no lingering dirty plates on the table. Kudos to him! Mr. Ponytail guy could take some lessons in congeniality and graciousness from the busboy. So, I understand that this is a high-end place. the staff really depends on folks ordering drinks, sides and apps, I get it. That said, even with very little effort, Mr. Ponytail guy still made about $10 bucks in tips off of each of us. I guess if serving drinks is so important to this guy, maybe he should look into waiting table at Barbie's Place on Bennet. This seems to be more his caliber. The coup de grace for the evening is the barmaid screwed up my change 3 times. I know, math is hard, but when the bill comes to $60.06 and you give $80.00 in cash, the change should be $19.94. She gave me back $4.06. I informed Mr. Ponytail guy of the error and he brought me another $5.00 bill. Again, math is hard. He also said he never checked the amount of money I gave him to cover my check, so he didn't know what was going on. Way to be a steward of your customer, Mr. Ponytail guy... After being made to feel like totally inadequate plebes that should have supped at the coney island next door, I really doubt we'll ever go back. I do ask Georgio to send Mr. Ponytail guy to congeniality school so he can learn the disappointments of life and how some things just don't go your way. That or let him spend some time washing dishes. Remember, Mr. ponytail guy, you decided to take on the task of waiting tables, and there's absolutely no shame in this. Lord knows, I've done a lot worse for a lot less. Just remember that some of your customers may not have big appetites, consume alcohol, eat fish or have a willingness to be treated like inconvenient morons just because you decided to judge them for not being who you wanted them to be. There are a lot of other high-end places much closer to home that would LOVE to get our money... Oh, 2 stars because the food was OK.

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.
