They Steal Money

by myvory at Citysearch

My husband and I went to this restaurant for Mother's Day. He always figures out to the penny what the exact 15% tip is (he's an Engineer he is good with numbers) and that is what we left. I remember the exact amount he left, and when it showed up on my bank account, it was 1.00 higher.

We signed the check and handed it over to them and after we signed it, they added more money onto the bill.

Last time I checked that was stealing. When we put our signature on it that means you can't add anything else to it, or else your stealing. I am ticked off that I didn't keep the receipt, because I thought they were honest. Well, yet another restaurant in Toledo, that we will not go to (the Olive Garden on Monroe St. does the same thing).

I wonder how many other people they've bee doing this too. I guess we will start bringing exact change to restaurants in this area.

• Pros: Good food.
• Cons: They let you sign your receipt and then round up on the tip.

Wonder how they would react if the bill was $30.45 and you rounded dow to $30,00 ??

Maybe it was a mistake? Did you give them a chance to fix it by calling? A reasonable person might before bashing them on the world wide web.

EL WORST MEXICAN RESTAURANT

by grapeape1227 at Citysearch

NO STARS -The food -if that's what you want to call it -was terrible - I ordered the ultimate nachos -what I got was 10 lbs of lettuce covering up -hiding -the CR.. P beneath it - If I wanted a salad I would have ordered one -I will Never -Never -EVER !!!!!! Go there again -Someone else can have my parking spot and my seat on the patio -When people get wise to this place -there will be plenty of parking and seating -See you at Venturas

• Pros: they are not open longer hours
• Cons: worst food

Just Avoid It!!

by Jacquegosch at Citysearch

First we waited an hour an a half to be seated. I saw other couples that came after us get seated before us. It took ten minutes for the server to bring us our drinks. Our main entree came out the same time as drinks and before our appetisor. The guy that delivers the food just threw our food on the table and didn't tell us the plates were hot, so I burnt my finger tips. While all this is happening the band is back in our tight litt;e corner playing so loudly that I could not even talk to my husband. The band played at the table behind us the whole time I was there. Then when I was going to leave the girl that cashed us out asked how everything was. I told her my problems and she didn't say sorry she said and I quote,"that is just how Fridays are" Screw this place- the food is alright but not worth the hassle. Try Casa Barron or El Vaquero They are both in Perrysburg and they are excellent!

• Pros: Pateo
• Cons: everything else

Great for Margi's on the patio

by jenniferm1974 at Citysearch

Their margaritas beat out any in the Toledo Area. Their outdoor patio and some drinks is a recommended way to start the weekend!

• Pros: Margaritas, Vegetarian Meals
• Cons: Parking, Packed
