We elected to eat at the Cafe when visiting the museum and viewing the menu on line. Prices weren't bad and the food was very good and good proportions. I ordered the Cheese Burger which came with several cheeses on it and tator tots with cheese. My wife order the Chicken wrap and her's came with a wild rice "salad?". We both enjoyed our sandwiches but she didn't like the wild rice and we traded. The Tator tots with cheese was excellent - she let me have a taste while the wild rice was okay. This cafe also has wine for $5/glass as well as a tasting tray of 4 wines for $10. If you're in the area, this is a good place to eat but you may have to pay for parking

This is a great but small farm to table cafe! Finding room for dinner is rarely a problem but the word is out for lunch so arrive early.I enjoyed the Impossible burger and absolutely loved it. Being plant based, this was a perfect option for me. Service is friendly and this little gem buzzes for lunch. Please make this a dining destination.

Itâs so refreshing to find a restaurant that is consistently good year after year. Weâve been coming to Real Seafood-both in A2 and Toledo- and have never had a bad meal. The Blue Plate Special was outstanding and sautéed scallops delicious. How refreshing to have cold items (coleslaw) served nice and cold and hot items (entrees) served piping hot. Thank you RS for your continuing high standards. Weâll look forward to our next visit.

First floor bar with vaulted ceiling and lots of niknaks. Beers weren't really to my palette but there's a good selection. Service is prompt if a little impersonal at the bar. I moved to a table and service was much more friendly. Quiz night is early on Tuesdays if that's your thing. Very atmospheric room with all the antique and new brew kit on show. Prices are reasonable and there's plenty of parking around too.

Wife and I made reservations for 35th anniversary. Place is huge and we were seated right away. Service was fantastic. Waitress helped us with wine selection. She was very knowledgeable and well versed in both the wine and food menu. Food was outstanding. We had steak and crab legs for entrees and brought home dessert.
