    Side of fruit for $2.50, all honeydew w a few pineapple
    Ahlennah B.

    Been here twice now. First time we had a burger and a salad, both of which were good, competently cooked and had great flavor. Today we had Sunday brunch & beer. They weren't busy at all when we came in at 11, but they quickly filled up! Tried the Strawberry ale and the peach ale and both were good, but the peach was better! Didn't even taste like beer! Delicious. They have many tasty sounding fruity beers, so if you like that kind of thing, this is your place! Western skillet w no peppers, sub bacon for ham. Side of fruit, sour cream. Eggs over easy. This could have used more cheese & bacon, but the potatoes were pretty good and the flavors were nice. The side of fruit wasn't for me, tho...all honeydew with a few tiny pieces of pineapple. My partner had the Chicken & gravy , which he said was "Reeally quite good. The chicken breast was beautifully seasoned, juicy, crispy - possibly one of the better chicken breasts we've had. The sausage gravy was meaty & flavorful, and the sausage in it was great, which doesn't happen often in a gravy. The biscuit was fluffy & crispy and had a good flavor. The whole thing was a triumph and I kinda wanna come back here next Sunday!" Service was friendly and efficient. This place is spacious, not too loud, and conveniently located.

    Draft list (holiday brews)

    Burgers, Beer, Wings! What more do you need?? With an awesomely named list of rotating brews, and good food, this is a perfect spot if you're in downtown Sylvania looking for lunch or dinner. But be ready, they pack up quickly during prime times and there will likely be a waitlist. Cool modern brewery vibe in a neat building that is bright and energetic. A spot that delivers tasty food that is equaled by the service. Our server couldn't have been nicer. Answered all of our questions, checked with the kitchen when he wasn't sure, was extremely attentive, and FAST! Start with the smoked wings - they're outstanding! Smokey flavor, slightly crispy on the outside but tender & moist on the inside. We tried the mango-habanero version and the honey barbeque. Both were seriously tasty and we will order them any time we return. For the main, we each tried a burger variation and they were all very good. With GF bun options and several varieties to choose from, it's a solid bet. We opted for fries as the side and they were very well prepared (not overcooked at all) and might have been better than the burgers. The Double Smash Burger was perfect on the smash with the nice crispy lacy edges on the patty while being juicy and perfectly cooked. Both regular and GF buns were soft and tasty. We'll definitely come back when in Sylvania again.

    This place has always been a spot to stop by, have a drink and grab some food. Now I'm not a beer drinker, but I've heard people say that their beer is very cold here so the bar is almost always packed. We ordered the queso to share and it was very tasty. Especially with the home made chips - UNREAL! I ordered the kale & quinoa salad and was wowed by the flavors. We all had such a good time and the food was devine.

    harvest hash with a side of sausage. pretty good! just needs some brightness or variance in textures
    Dustin H.

    We finally made it to the original ITF, and it was pretty good! But it could be better. Like the Perrysburg location, which we enjoy a lot, the atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is super friendly. And like the Perrysburg location, the food is extremely heavy, and one note. High quality, but overwhelming after you've had a few bites. Perhaps a homemade hot sauce or just some contrasting brightness from fruit or pickles would help but everything hits your palate with the same tone and richness. Not something hearty midwesterners complain about, so I am sure I am in the minority with this observation. That said, Inside The Five brings a brunch standard to the region that is admirable. Their commitment to the craft is noted, and I hope over time we find a location in Toledo proper!

    Southwest salad
    Jira W.

    My friend and I wanted to explore the Sylvania historical village and found this place crowded with customers at 6pm. We decided to get dinner here because it smelled so good as we walked around. There was a small wait time of 10 minutes and our seat at a booth. My favorite part about this restaurant is their big local beer list and an amazing cocktail menu. I decided to get the megaphone and my friend got the main st mule. We loved the drinks and would definitely go back to try more. I really like this restaurant style because it's a very good place for hangout and family. Food: the southwest salad was pretty solid, came out with fresh veggies would like to try a different type next time for variety The smash burger was decent. Tasty but nothing was outstanding. However the fries were really good. Unfortunately, I found a chicken bone in my fries and had to send it back. Our waitress was professional about it and brought out a new food. At the end she gave us 50% discount for the burger and apologized us. Overall we would go back again and try their appetizers and new drinks.

    Stopped in for dinner after the solar eclipse so there was a huge dinner rush. We were able to put our name down in their waitlist SMS and explore downtown Sylvania while we waited. The service was very friendly. The food was fantastic! Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options!

    Cowboy burger

    So damn good! Burger snob here...cowboy burger...beat burger i have had in a long time. Cook was still on his game at 10pm! Paired with #10 deimos. Food coma

    So we went for brunch. The menu was pretty large. The service was fantastic. The atmosphere was pleasant. The food took a bit longer than expected to arrive. But it was hot and fresh. The serving sizes were great. Give them a try.

The ambiance is very intimate and I definitely recommend reservations because the dining area is on the smaller side. So... I made reservations for a party of three on Marcel's website and yet the reservation didn't make it to the restaurant's reservation list... Yikes! Yet they were able to accommodate us, fortunately. We didn't realize it at first, but Chef Marcel's wife was our server. How lucky is she to eat so well on the regular?! She was very gracious and patient in tending to our table and answering our questions. Very lovely and down-to-earth! While Chef Marcel is known for visiting with customers, he was too busy iIn the kitchen when we were there. We started with the stuffed large portobello mushroom as an appetizer. It included beets and was delicious. No picture because we were hungry, but check out photos of the rest of our dinners! I should note that my two friends enjoyed the complimentary bread and raved about it. I held out for the appetizer, but the bread looked delicious. Two of us went with the weekly special of mahi mahi, which included a salad of mixed greens. The mahi mahi was served on tortilla shells with rice, black beans and cilantro. It was a unique combination that was delicious. Our other friend opted for the chicken marsala with button mushrooms over rigatoni.. She also ordered the brussel sprouts as a side and loved them. While the desserts looked amazing, we passed tonight because our dinners left us no room for dessert!

On both nights I ordered the butternut squash but tonight I ordered it without chicken and I like it better without it! I think I tasted more of the flavors blending together especially with the apples and onions. I tried the wedge salad, so delicious especially with the candied pecans. My husband had the salmon bisque soup and the grouper for dinner. I had a bite of the broccoli and the polenta with a taste of the grouper and it was really good with a slight kick! The grouper was meaty and mild. Of course we had to have dessert even after a bottle of prosecco! We tried the pineapple carrot cake and the chocolate Panna cotta for the second time. I highly recommend both, the pineapple is a perfect ingredient! I'm excited to see what the spring menu will bring and to return to try the Korean bbq steak and have more of the Dutch Bitterballen! They only offer wine and beer, which works for me!

I hadn't realized before that there is a large room to the right of the bar area. We were there for a somewhat early dinner at 6pm on a Saturday and the place was bustling! Definitely make a reservation. (I used Open Table online two or three weeks in advance and it was very easy.) We were greeted shortly after being seated and our server advised us of the special entrees after taking our drink orders. We decided to split the roasted beet salad which also came with herbed goat cheese. Our server brought the salad on two plates- already divided. The salad was absolutely amazing!! I am seriously still craving it and the portion was so large that I couldn't even finish my half. Our server promptly boxed it up before our entrees were served. For the main course, I ordered one of the specials- scallops with rice sauteed with spinach. My friend had pork roast with carrots, which was a large portion - no complaints and she took home leftovers for another meal. I'll speak to my scallops... They were perfectly prepared, but there were only three scallops and a plentiful serving of rice and spinach. I love spinach and this side was very well seasoned. It didn't take long to eat the three scallops and the spinach pieces in the rice. I definitely enjoyed my meal, but wished for even one more scallop. Since my entree was a special that was verbally announced, I didn't know the price until I saw the bill. While it was delicious, I found the $41 charge a bit steep. The Standard is exceptional in almost every way- service was impeccable, amazing food, lovely ambiance- but be prepared for a pricey evening. My friend and I had a very enjoyable time and I definitely recommend this restaurant. I will say, however, that it can be difficult to talk because it is so busy. That said, it's popular for a reason! Check out the photos below for a virtual experience.

Found a parking spot not too far from the entry as the wind chill was in the single digits. MyWay was crowded, but we were seated right away. Needless to say, the noise volume was elevated. There was a large group of people on our side of the restaurant that seemed to know one another. They were rather boisterous and seemed to have consumed a fair amount of alcohol. Even witnessed a middle aged woman who could hardly walk out on her own. Prior to her bumper-pool walking style on the way out, as she was seated, she hoisted up her leg and placed her heel on the man's shoulder she was with. Mercy! Alcohol can cause strange events to happen. We both ordered the Blackened Salmon Quinoa Salad with the Walnut Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing. Salad cost $18.

French onion soup - it seemed like it had some lemon, or something slightly stringent that I can't place. It gave it a lot of flavor. The cheese was a slice baked on it, but it was decent cheese. It was satisfying, onion, and tasty. This is a cozy place with tables to accommodate larger groups, good music that isn't too loud, clean bathrooms and friendly wait staff. Everyone was right to recommend this place to us. I'm looking forward to trying many of their other menu items!

If I lived here, I would come here once a week to chitchat with them and eat PIE!! Make sure you come here. This place is a gem and has been here since 1948.
