- LLisaDallas - Fort Worth •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoReally enjoyed the lunch today with my family. Food was amazing today, everything came out hot and just like we ordered. For larger parties consider leaving a carafe or two of water on the table makes it easier. Our waitress had us, a 12 top and a couple of 4 tops, so having someone helping with water, silverware and picking up plates would help. Overall, we will be back for sure.More infoCooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant - Toledo, OHPrice: Moderate• American• Toledo•4.6

- DDennis AND MarciaVIPToledo / Northwest Ohio •52 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe have two favorite places in Defiance, Ohio to eat and this is one of them. If you are from out of town, it is worth a trip to visit and eat at Dark Horse Social Club. The staff and owners are so nice. The menu is changed several times a year, so there is always something different to try.More infoThe Dark Horse Social ClubPrice: Moderate• American• Defiance•4.8
