    Ummm...no. This place always has people in it, but I could make a better breakfast in my sleep.

    Locals praise this restaurant as a fine dining establishment of Tiffin. Well.... I hope this isn't…read morethe only one as they are SOL if this is it. The space is amazing. Great building, decor and vibe. What killed the vibe was the patrons at the bar with the 4 year old going WWE on his drunk uncle like it was a backyard BBQ and the seating. Flimsy wooden stool like chairs or a straight high back booth. The most comfy spot in the room was the piano bench in the middle of the room. Apparently the restaurant was expecting a HUGE crowd for the eclipse. There wasn't one to Tiffin. Their limited menu and $35 dinner buffet went to waste. The buffet had been sitting out for hours. Dried out potatoes, pasta, ribeye slices that were now overcooked and chewy. We opted for the menu but momentarily were flustered that the limited menu also said cash only. Smh. Since the crowd wasn't a factor, the cash only was waived. Thankfully. (Then discovered they raised the prices on the limited menu for the event) Wasn't concerning but annoying since the event fell flat. I ordered the scallops and my husband the burger. Burger was fine, cooked to temp. Good pickles, great house made ketchup and duper fresh French fries. So good we ordered a second serving. My scallops were a joke. Three tiny 1" scallops under a coating of lobster cream sauce, and frozen chopped spinach all in a bed of overcooked white rice with some wild rice mixed in. Let's start top down. The lobster cream sauce was gritty and starting to separate. The chopped spinach was oddly bright green, unseasoned and should not have been on the plate. The scallops were fine but small. I could not eat the rest. It was awful. I ate the scallops and let her take the rest of the plate and order a side fries to supplement. I wish I had ordered the mushroom flatbread instead. Burger was good. I had a normal glass of white wine. Nothing notable. My husband ordered an old fashioned. It was good. He ordered a second and it was totally different than the first. To finish, we ordered a crème brûlée. It came out, not on a plate but just put on the table in the cup with two spoons laid on the table. Smh. Idk what was going on. They brought out a side of fries on a plate and even the side of mayo, earlier. It was just odd. The space is beautiful. The service is spotty. Food is a hard miss or home run, therefore good luck if you try it.

    I stopped into The Empire Bistro for dinner and ordered the Chicken Marsala -- absolutely…read moreincredible! The sauce was rich and flavorful, the chicken perfectly tender, and the pasta underneath tied everything together. You can tell they take real care in the kitchen here. The whole experience was great -- friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, and a menu that feels upscale but totally approachable. You don't need a reservation, but the food and service make it feel like you should. If you haven't tried the Chicken Marsala yet, you're missing out -- it's easily one of the best dishes in Tiffin!

    We waited 1 hour and 10 minutes from the time we placed our order to we received it. Not one time…read moredid anyone especially our server say anything about the wait. Not sorry or it's coming soon. This is hard to believe we had employees pass us like 100 times. The other challenge is the fries and the ribs Luke warm and my sandwich was just warm. All of the food tasted good but would have been better hotter. I do believe they had an event that slowed the service down. Not being spoken to is what challenged us. After we paid or during when we paid no one said so sorry about the wait.

    Like most people, we stumbled across Carmie's before checking in to the Hampton Inn next door. I…read morehave to say, my group and I were pleasantly surprised. About three minutes after arriving, we were greeted by our server. There were about two other groups of people in the restaurant, but we were seated immediately upon arrival. We sat down to find paper place mats with local advertisements on it- something that reminded us of a classic New Jersey diner :). The atmosphere was fairly pleasant and it had a bit of a bar vibe to it. There was even a claw machine next to our table. Our food arrived approximately 20 minutes after we were greeted by our waitress with appetizers and drinks coming out almost immediately. Our mozzarella sticks come out relatively warm and with a side of marinara sauce. We also ordered pretzel bites and I must say, the big portion was gone in a few minutes- they were really good. As a main course, I ordered a full size of the chicken chunks. I received a large portion of bite sized chicken bits that were pretty tasty. We also ordered a chicken salad and what I believe was a burger (although looking back I'm not seeing one on the menu). Both of these meals came out as expected and suited our needs. If you're in a similar situation as us, I'd highly recommend giving Carmine's in Tiffin a try!
