“My husband and I had our micro-wedding dinner at Sortino’s and we could not have had a better experience! Charity, the restaurants’ general manager, and her team went above and beyond to make the evening so incredibly memorable and perfect. Charity made sure Mr. Sortino himself stopped by to meet us and spend time with us- making our night even more special 💕. Don’t even get me started on the food! Everything was delicious. Highly recommend the Chicken Marsala and the Anti-Pasta Board. Only complaint is how far away from us Sortino’s is (we live in Virginia) ☺️. Thank you so much to Charity, our server, Nick (I believe), Giorgio, and the entire Sortino’s staff!”

“We finally tried their grinders and we were not disappointed. It was great and everything was fresh. We got the west coast turkey and the heavy Italian. Very nice staff, the chip selection was great. We will definitely return to try the other grinders and other menu items.”
“This is my favorite go to spot it’s delicious and clean and staff is friendly. The only thing I would change is that they’d open up another store in vermilion/amherst so we could enjoy it more often. I feel like it would thrive this way considering there’s no other froyo near by! Might be something to look into.”
“The place itself looks nice but it's chinsy. The food is basic there's nothing special about it. Minimal portions unless you spend good money you'll leave hungry. They charge you a 3% sur charge when you use a Credit card I didn't see that posted anywhere. The Menu is all over the place meh. $4 soft drink and don't get ask if you want a Refill. NOT worth the HYPE”
“I've eaten there more than a few times and tonight, the change in bar staff really showed. I planned on ordering my favorite pizza in town- the Cubano, which has always been good with the mustard taste at the top and i ordered desert to go and sporadically added an app. All my bad there for bothering this poor soul behind the bar, asking why this pizza was covered in mayo, i guess they added more "honey mustard aioli" and shoved it back at me but it's going no where but the trash, so I paid, tipped, and as I left this poor man mutters "i wish I wasn't here" I get about 3 dinners a year, if that, alone without my kids and I'll go where your old bartender is next time, or anywhere that will fix their mistake and not shrug at me. I'm not here for Bike Week 🤷♀️ You re only as strong as your local supporters and I'm so sad my favorite pizza is just mayo now. He said they added more the cold sauce, what? Just what I needed, more sauce. I already asked once, he was clearly done with his night and honestly I can just take my money somewhere else, it doesn't matter. I know.”
“Truly disappointed ☹️- got the most expensive item on the menu - lobster and grits - it was very salty and the grits were not southern grits - they were bland - I’m used to having the dark gravy (made with coffee). Don’t good chefs taste their food - and I couldn’t enjoy any taste of the lobster! Waited so long to go there- wasted a very expensive meal!!”
“We had an awesome experience at Danny Boys—the food was seriously top-notch across the board… except for the feta bruschetta dip. That one really missed the mark. It didn’t have much flavor, and the texture just didn’t work. The crackers were all broken, so it was nearly impossible to actually scoop the dip without making a mess. Compared to how great the rest of the menu is, the dip felt like it came from a totally different place. Just being honest—it’s the only thing we wouldn’t order again. Everything else? Phenomenal!”
“It’s nice to a more authentic Asian eatery near toursit areas. It’s a couple notches up from Panda express & below artisan ramens. To me it felt like a higher end instant ramen with warmed up ingredients. It’s about as good as I can make at my house but not as good as a mom ‘n pop. Decent selection of teas & smoothies as well as a few specialty dishes which surprised me. Very friendly staff! Airy & clean restaurant.”
“The waitress was amazing the place was clean and inviting. There were 5 of us and we all ordered the ribeye. There was so much pepper on these steaks most of us could not eat it all. The other food was good but the steak was very disappointing.”
“Amazing place which is why I drive over an hour to come here BUT my only complaint is if they can post when their kitchen is closed. They post everything else on their Facebook but not their kitchen hours. Other than me crying about the kitchen this place is amazing.”

“Steven was our server last night and he was an absolute delight! Everything was wonderful! Steven greeted us asking if we were celebrating anything and it just so happened we were there for our twins birthday. He immediately handed them each an arcade card. So sweet! The food was quick, hot and delicious! We will definitely be back again next time we come to kalahari!”

“My daughter and I came in this afternoon after volunteering for the iron man we were starving… we sat at another downtown restaurant for over 20 minutes being completely ignored while everyone around us was being served so we ended up leaving and coming here… we sat outside a women greeted us at the door apologized and said there was only one server outside so it might be a minute.. which was amazing considering the last place we were at. We had a guy server can’t remember his name but he was great.. even though we did wait for a minute it was okay because we were acknowledged and not ignored. Server was super friendly and nice the food was DELICIOUS! 10/10 experience, we will definitely be back!”
“Was there Sunday. There were five of us. Kelly at the bar was amazing as always! All our food was great! I must add that I ordered the grilled salmon.... AMAZING! You must try. TJ came to check on us and as always... HE'S THE BEST!
Must stop by place when in town or headed to or from Cedar Point.”
“The food was delicious, and we had a wonderful time, but what really made our night was that our server noticed my daughter was sad and promptly worked to fix the situation. She was kind and awesome, and we are grateful.”

“The ribs are always cooked to perfection but my go to is a nice juicy beef brisket sandwich. The sides ( green beans, smoked beans, mac n cheese, etc) all tasty with great flavor. Assorted limited edition items and desserts are a fun surprise and never fail to be just as good as their bbq. Great customer service every time I stop there. Worth the drive and the money.”
“Best fish and chips - super friendly and quick service. They were fantastic!! Our kids enjoyed too and they are picky eaters :) bravo!”
“Weekend trip to the area. Family liked it so much, we ate there twice.”

“The bar is clean, the help is wonderful. They stay open like thier hours state. Food is awesome and affordable. The atmosphere has really changed in there since the last neighborhood bar. I definitely feel more comfortable there and enjoy meeting friends to hang out for the games nowadays.”
“really nice little bar off the beaten path...”
“The food at Daly’s is always good. Extensive menu and daily food specials keep me coming back. Always quick service from friendly bartenders. A staple in Sandusky that’s been around forever for a reason! Plenty of room for everyone with a huge bar and a large dining room.”
“My family and I dined at Casa Real in Sandusky, OH. yesterday July 12, 2025. Overall it was a great experience. I only took one star on the overall rating because seating was cramped, but then again I am 6'5" so I guess that makes a difference. However what make my experience exceptional was the service. Our waitress name was Dianna. Wow, she is awesome. She took care of us better than any waitress that I have had probably ever, and that is saying something because I've been around for a wh ile and love to eat out. She kept our drinks full and everytime we needed something she was there and got it for us quickly and didn't forget anything. And believe me, they were super busy, but our family needs were met very very quickly and always with a smile. Dianna, I hope you and your boss can read this, I want to thank you for such a great experience. You have a new customer at least as long as you work there.”
“Ted, my server was incredible. He treated me and my party like family. The drinks were incredible and came out so quickly, try a home brew! The food was cooked perfectly and the seasoning and flavor were on point. I honestly can't say enough good things about the place! I will be back every time I'm in town.”
“Love enjoying a cocktail with a burger and fries while seating on a pier! Once your order is in, it’s usually quick service. Beautiful fun spot to enjoy lunch. Everything I’ve had on the menu has been delicious. Definitely recommend if you enjoy outdoor seating and don’t mind a little occasional wind. This is also my GF’s favorite spot in town.”

“On Saturday may 14th our son held his marriage ceremony and reception there. It was absolutely beautiful. The care we received was outstanding. The food was amazing. Could not of asked for it to be any better. Thank you Julie for the care you and your amazing stafe provided us!”
“We love Twisted 3! Great food including huge salads and fair prices. It can get busy which can occasionally slow things down, but with the aforementioned great prices I couldn’t care less. Yes you have to buy a key card after a few visits but you make that money back quick in savings.”

“We come here every year to meet friends and we are never disappointed. This year was especially wonderful because of our waitress, Kitanna (I'm not sure of the spelling). She was not only a staff member but also a friend. She deserves a raise!”
“Outstanding! The food was wonderful and the atmosphere equally good. We will be back without a doubt. Our server Lori was amazing as well.”
“A great new addition to Cedar Point! The food was really good and the line went really quick. Awesome composite furniture with lots of outdoor seating and a nice atmosphere. You can use your unlimited drink here.”
“Have eaten here several times while visiting Cedar Point. Decent barbecue served in an atmosphere with great theming. Depending on when you visit, there is seating available outdoors. Try the mac & cheese, it is outstanding. Staff was very friendly and professional.”

“I was really impressed with the service in the bakery today. It's 2 days until Thanksgiving, so of course they were super busy. I needed a Boston Cream Pie for my son's birthday. I asked for help because I couldn't find one, and Jen went in the back to look (twice), got one out of the freezer, and then wrote on it for me with icing, smiling the whole time. I could have cried, because I didn't want to disappoint my son, but Jen delivered! Many thanks Jen! Also, Cathy, the cashier, is another gem. Always courteous & smiling, even 2 days before a major food holiday! Thanks again”

“Fantastic people, I have been buying perch by the 11 pound box for years and actually 2 boxes per year and have never , in repeat never found a bone. The people on here that score less than 5 stars are full of crap! People that wait on me are great ……. Take another look, this place and people are above the rest!!”
“Truly disappointed ☹️- got the most expensive item on the menu - lobster and grits - it was very salty and the grits were not southern grits - they were bland - I’m used to having the dark gravy (made with coffee). Don’t good chefs taste their food - and I couldn’t enjoy any taste of the lobster! Waited so long to go there- wasted a very expensive meal!!”
