Wife and I were in Toledo for a funeral and were looking for a good restaurant the night before we flew back to FL. Elements was outstanding..Wednesday was 50 percent off bottles of wine so we had a nice Franciscan merlot for half price. My wife had a pumpkin bisque (toasted sunflower seeds, squash chips and herb oil) that was very tasty. I had the roasted beet salad (ruby beet vinaigrette, Turkey foot feta, locally grown ginger gold apples,and pumpkin seed granola). It had great contrast with feta and apple slices..very tasty for a beet lover. My wife had a 6 oz filet with purple potato cake and tomato jus. Wonderful flavor with chips and filet. I had the Icelandic turbot with butternut squash, butternut chips, and compressed apple. It came with a maple gastritis which I chose not to use but it would have added balance to the dish. We finished with dark roast Brazilian coffee. There were 3 treat throughout the meal, the last two being chocolate and home made caramels in sea salt. What a delightful meal and we would highly recommend!!!

Mr Freeze uses highest quality ingredients and creativity to make sundaes, slushes, and other treats at reasonable prices. When our grandkids come to visit, it's always on their visit bucket list. Occasionally lengthy lines but worth it!

Our love for Brieschke's Bakery started in 2000, when we were looking for someone to make our wedding cake. It was perfect! Since then they have made my baby shower cake, boys' birthday cakes and special occasion cakes! To name a few designs they have done for us: baby blocks made from square cake pans, fire engine design, a bowling pin and ball from cupcakes, Star Wars General, and of course the traditional flowers etc.
I can not say enough about their cakes! Pastries and cookies are just as delicious!!

Have been there over the years several times...service is not as good as it used to be...servers need to check on guests, after they have tasted food, to make sure its ok....and check drinks, water, coffee more often. Prices seem too high for area.

I had always wanted to try this place ever since I heard Cpl Klinger mention it on the TV show MASH and I finally got my chance. We went for lunch and tried their hot dog with fries and their chicken chili, Also a glass of their house IPA. The food itself was OK; not great but not bad either. I thought it was a tad expensive. The hot dog and fries was about $7 - not ball park expensive but a dollar of two more than comparable places. Be advised the chicken chili was not a white chili (as expected) but regular red chili with chicken meat instead of beef. Maybe after all these years I had my hopes set too high but three stars was all I could give this place.

There are so many fine restaurants in Sylvania, but few that specialize in seafood. Hadn't eaten here for awhile, but was in the mood for fish for dinner so my sister and I decided to go to the Seafood Restaurant this evening. The grouper I ordered was meaty and deliciously prepared as was the side of snow peas which was the vegetable of the day. If you are going with someone who doesn't want Seafood, there are many other opinions available as well. My sister had a reuben sandwich which she said was quite good. After our meal we splurged and she ordered their key lime pie for dessert. The slice was large and one of the best key lime pies I have ever eaten! The restaurant's atmosphere is comfortable and not pretentious. The staff was helpful in reminding me about the various types of seafoods on the menu and the wine selections were good. I won't be waiting quite so long next time to dine at The Seafood Restaurant in Sylvania Ohio.

I’ve been eating pizza for over 60 years in over a dozen cities and three countries, and this place makes about the best I’ve ever had. The crust was done just right, the sauce was flavorful, and the toppings were very plentiful. The service was great. While the place was packed, our waitress was joking with everyone, yet filling orders quickly & efficiently. A very good experience all around. Try it you’ll love it!

I consider Shorty's the best BBQ in Toledo. We have always had excellent service and food at Shorty's. I ordered the grilled Salmon with baked beans and coleslaw. Salmon was grilled perfect, nice and tender with a slight grill on the outside. The baked beans have chunks of meat that added to the flavor. Coleslaw has celery seeds to enhance the flavor. I sampled my husbands "dinosaur bones" as we fondly refer to them. He normally gets the full rack and takes home half. He can't get enough! We ended the meal with caramel cheese cake. Very tasty!
