Testimonials

This is one of our favorite go-to spots for a nice dinner out. The food is always great with lots of interesting options - and names. Tonight I had the Lambert's Coq au vin, which was delicious served with "mashers" (mashed potatoes) and pearl onions. My husband had the Duck & "waffles." The waffles were really small potato pancakes though not the kind of potato pancakes I've had before and tasty yellow carrots rounded out the plate. His was the winner between two very good meals. The beer cheddar chili was quite good too and i liked the apple lemon dressing served with the dinner salad.

We were seated in the dining room instead of the jazz cafe/lounge on this visit. The seating was comfortable in this historic Maumee building. The lounge is a bit cozier & more intimate and is especially nice when there is live music to enjoy. We'll definitely be back!
