The Gathering and Ribs
By michkid @ 7:03 AM :: 610 Views ::

I have had a couple people from out of town recommend The Gathering and its ribs. Having tried the ribs at Red Pig and ended up being very disappointed - dry and oversauced - I'm wondering about the other rib places in town. I found New Riegel and enjoyed that - very different from traditional ribs but surprisingly very good. What folks have to say about The Gathering?

The Elephant Bar and Restaurant
By walrus @ 5:41 PM :: 635 Views ::
0 Comments :: :: Thai, Family, Oriental |

I admit I had misgivings about trying the Elephant Bar and Restaurant, 5001 Monroe St., in Toledo. Scoping out the restaurant’s website beforehand, it seemed to emphasize ‘family friendly’, with a special kids menu and certificate program. I have children myself, so don’t get me wrong – I love kids. Unless they are stranger’s kids who scream, yell, beg, cry or whine when I am trying to enjoy a meal. Then….not so much! Two other red flags: It is part of a chain and it is located in a busy mall parking lot.

Fins Restaurant is Findlay's newest dining establishment.
They specialize in fresh seafood. I had the grouper with a Thai Ginger sauce. They had a variety of sides - but we all had something a little unique - lobster macaroni. It was excellent.

Oler's Bar and Grill
By walrus @ 5:52 PM :: 582 Views ::
1 Comments :: :: Mexican |

In the course of a person’s day to day existence, which is more rewarding: 1. Knowing of a great restaurant with excellent food, formal atmosphere, professionally courteous wait staff, and price levels that make visits a ’special occasions only’ event, or … 2. Knowing of a modest restaurant with consistently decent food, laid back atmosphere, waitresses who treat you like family, and reasonable prices? Oler’s Bar and Grill, 708 Lima Avenue, Findlay (across the street from Cooper Tire), definitely falls into the second category.

Trotters Tavern (Bowling Green)

To me, nothing compliments a steak like a tall, dark glass of Guinness draft. At Trotters, pouring a glass of Guinness becomes a work of art - literally! Before you take a sip, notice that the bar maid has delicately sculpted a perfect Shamrock in the foamy head as she poured it.

2. Huge portions (I mean really huge!)
3. Reasonable prices
4. Great atmosphere
5. Good service
6. Grumpy Dave

I love Mexican food, but have become somewhat jaded with all the area restaurants that have sprung up that specialize in south of the border cuisine. They seem to all have identical menus and the food tastes the same from restaurant to restaurant. El Camino Real is different in sooo many ways!
