    Building is really neat. It's an old bank and they used the vault in the bar area. We made reservations per other reviews that's the way to go. It's a small seating area and big bar. We got cocktails to start. A martini and their old fashioned. Both delicious and well made. Started with oysters and they were delicious. They charge extra for sauce and horseradish. For entrees we got the steak and lobster pasta. 5 star for the lobster pasta. Devoured it. Wish the steak came with a veggie side or frites. Felt like it was missing something. Little pricey meal but it was worth it. Everything was very good.

    Everything from food to service to hospitality. The vibe was welcoming from the start as being new to the area and from a bigger metropolitan area (Detroit) this was a welcome dining experience. I had the Pimento Cheese Spread to start wonderful serving size and texture I went into have the Hokkaido Scallops which did not disappoint as an entree they were smooth and light with a buttery finish. The drinks were well balanced. The atmosphere was inviting for a newcomer and a single female I was delighted to find this gem worth visiting and bringing guests as well as a cool event space

    First time dining here and brought my 13 year old niece for her birthday. It was amazing. We started with the crab dip which was excellent. We both got burgers which were the best burgers we've ever had. Prices were very reasonable for the service and ambiance. We plan to make this her yearly birthday dinner. Couldn't recommend Farnsworth enough!

    The oysters are *real* good.

    Founded by people with DEEP roots in the area's food scene, Farnsworth will have you *completely* rethinking Waterville. With its home inside a century-old bank building that has been lovingly reimagined, it brings approachable luxury to this quaint Riverside community. The small menu emphasizes a clear love and passion for seafood, and the oysters are as fresh and delicious as you could ever hope for. Farnsworth is a great option for a date night, but also just a really cool new experience in a part of NW Ohio I suspect many of you have never explored. Definitely worth checking out.

    The food is delicious, and the presentation, stunning. The server was efficient and attentive. Will definitely patronize this restaurant again.

    We desperately needed a spot like this in the area. Elevated, smaller menu, trendier vibe but still welcoming to all. The food is always fresh, the staff is helpful, and it's a great place to bring friends or just sit at the bar by yourself. Menu staples like the burger or the NOLA shrimp are always good, I love the rotating oysters, and my husband and I agreed they have the best cocktails in town. The menu changes often - some of my recent favorites are the springtime gnocchi, scallops, the caviar and chips app. Thankfully you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Even their little side salad is a favorite of mine! I've made it a habit to come once a week, but if you haven't been before - get there early! Because the food is fresh, sometimes they run out later in the evening.

    Staff is amazing. Food was amazing. And they also donated to a local veteran charity event with a gift card. The place is super cute. We don't eat seafood but the pickled vegetables were on point and the drinks even better!!

    Bellwether at Toledo Spirits - Espresso Martini. Great Crema, a little sweet for me

All spirits and liquors are made in house. When we visited, they had their brunch menu going on which switches for dinner at 4pm. Will was our bartender and I could not have nicer things to say about him! He sparked up some casual conversation with us, answered some questions we had, and made some great recommendations on drinks! He mentioned their two most popular brunch drinks were the Espresso Martini & Benton's Old Fashioned. We ordered both and WOW! Such a balanced cocktail, nice presentation, and great flavors. Their dinner menu was currently inspired by well known novels which previewing the menu had me wanting to come back. Such a fun spot with unique offerings you won't find at other spots in Toledo. Must try!

With a hang out in the basement feel. Staff is friendly and willing to help. Hot dogs are ok, would prefer a warm bun. We have been here a couple of times now. I think they have great cocktails. Well made, beautiful, pricing is decent for the most part. I love the to go Strawberry Lemonade. It was perfect for summer boat rides. We also love the THC soda. Great flavor. We do not live in the area but we stop in everytime we are.

Upon first glance the outside doesn't really give you that vibe, but don't be fooled. The moment you walk through the doors, the crisp, modern atmosphere immediately sets the tone for an exceptional evening. We were seated promptly and welcomed by our server Joleen, who provided attentive and friendly service throughout the meal. Our group ordered wine and some appetizers. We chose the Cesar salad, french onion soup, tuna tower, scallops, and shrimp cocktail. The presentation alone was enough to impress. Everything was absolutely divine. The scallops were some of the best I've ever eaten. Seasoned and cooked to perfection, the smoked bacon jam was an ideal pairing. As impressed as we were with the appetizers, the entrees somehow managed to top them. Our table ordered the filet mignon, steak frites, and the smash burger. The steaks were cooked perfectly, and while I don't typically order steak with a sauce the blackberry demi glaze added just the right amount of flavor without overpowering the meat. My friends thoroughly enjoyed their meals stating that the smash burger was the best burger they had ever had. We finished dinner with a coffee and a crème brûlée. If you are looking for a phenomenal dining experience in Port Clinton, this is it. They really checked all the boxes.

    We completely stumbled on this bar as they had only been open for a few weeks…read more They had a fantastic staff that was very pleasant and quick to get our order in. They had an amazing cocktail menu so I ordered the "Kiwi do you live me" drink and it was delicious! We only had a short amount of time before our plans so we didn't get to try and good, but it all looked delicious! We will be coming back to try that food.

    This spot is new. Only reason Im giving 2 stars. Room to grow. 40 minutes to place a brunch order…read morethat has 4 items. Not off to a great start. I called and made reservations. When we arrived the host? Not sure who he was just starts talking about the only seats at the bar. Didn't get a word in edgewise to say hey I have a reservation. We were the only folks sitting at the bar so ok. So back to where I was. 40 minutes later sitting directly at the bar trying to make eye contact and caught a server finally to take our order. Now 4 more folks came n sat at the bar. Somehow their food order got taken and before ours. My man is ticked and about to leave. Ordered a pearmosa which is a woodchuck cider not a mimosa to me. We got a waffle (cold), bacon, grits and the seafood grits. Most were cold. Butter just melted and that's after I heated it up next day. The flavor of the food was good. Just not proper temp, service sucked and the parking sucks. Limited street parking or pay to park lots. Im going to give them some time to grow before trying again. Two words for this black owned establishment. Do better

    Mad Anthony's: A Dive Bar That Feels Like Home…read more Walking into Mad Anthony's feels like slipping into your favorite flannel shirt--warm, familiar, and a little rough around the edges, but in the best way. It's a dive bar that knows exactly what it is, and it leans into it unapologetically. The beer is cheap, cold, and endless, just the way nature intended. The regulars are the kind of people who will call you "buddy" before they even know your name, and by the end of the night, you might just have a nickname you didn't ask for but secretly love. The building itself is historic, though no one's quite sure how old it actually is--just old enough to have stories, and maybe a few ghosts, if you believe the guy on the corner stool. The crooked pool table in the back adds a layer of excitement (or frustration) to your game, and the food situation? Let's just say they've perfected the fine art of the toaster oven. A hotdog or frozen pizza has never tasted better, especially when served with the kind of charm only a dive bar can muster. And then there's the bathroom. This is where Mad Anthony's truly shines. They've cracked the code to dive-bar bathroom management by making sure the urinals are always packed with ice. It's a quirky, borderline genius trick that keeps the place from smelling like regret, and honestly, it's a level of thoughtfulness you wouldn't expect but deeply appreciate. The lighting is dark, but not "what-did-I-just-sit-on" dark--just enough to make everyone look a little cooler and keep the vibe cozy. Mad Anthony's doesn't try to impress, and that's exactly why it does. It's imperfect in all the right ways, and if you're looking for a bar that feels like an old friend, this is the place.
