Table Forty4

We had always passed this place when we would go out and about, but the hours seemed to be inconsistent. We saw it was open and the TVs were on so we popped in to check it out. They have a food menu and an ok drink menu. This felt more of a college bar that offered food, but lots of TVs to watch the game.

It was a busy July 4th weekend, so grace granted for short staff, There were 8 of us so we made early reservations to accommodate everyone and avoid the rush. Food was good and beverages cold but server was off his game even though we were the only ones seated for the first 25 min. Food and drinks out wrong, or out one plate at a time. No gluten free bread options for our one guest with issues . Generally we enjoy this spot and talked it up to our out of town guests but we were disappointed they failed to impress anyone this trip. Hopefully next time a better experience.

Table Forty4 in the warehouse section of Toledo, OH was warm and welcoming on a very cold winter night! We stopped overnight in town and wanted to explore downtown however this neighborhood close to the place where we were staying came highly recommended. Our first stop of the night was at Table Forty4; the large bar dominated the place; the atmosphere was friendly and the décor was classic. As customary, my husband and I sat at the bar and asked to see their selection of craft beers; although the list was short we found it had interesting local choices from Rhinegeist Brewery to Platform, but the one that peaked our attention was the Water Spout from Catawba Island, a micro- brewery from this town on Lake Eerie. Who knew? It was smooth but hearty with all the right combinations to make a great beer, taste, foam and color.

This bar wasn't able to acknowledge our presence. We came with a group of 8 and were told to take a seat on the patio by one bartender. A waiter had come out and informed us that we weren't able to seat ourselves on the patio. He then immediately turned away and ignored us. I had to chase him down and ask if they had the room inside to make space for us. He, now very irritated with my presence, tries to separate our group across the restaurant. They also didn't wear masks. We went to the bar directly across the street and immediately received all the service we had been missing.

This place is great! I had the fish tacos and they were spicy and good. My husband had the gyro and wolfed it down.

In the years this restaurant has been open, they've had their ups and downs. I work downtown, so my co-workers and I come here for lunch on occasion. My most recent visit was very positive: good food (as always), attentive service, and the kitchen was punctual. The prices have fluctuated over time, as has the menu itself, but it seems to have stabilized with a tasty and relatively eclectic menu with prices that are pretty standard for a sit-down restaurant lunch downtown (about $12 after tip). Table Forty 4 is in my rotation for weekday lunches downtown... although I'm disappointed that the mashed potatoes side dish is only available for dinner now.

I paid for one of the worst meals I've had in a long time tonight. I'm not even sure it's deserving of two stars but I feel terrible giving a local establishment a one-star review. A group of anywhere between 10 and 20 of my friends meets at Table Forty4 once a month for dinner. We've been going for over a year. I make it on rare occasion. It should be mentioned that there were only 5 of us tonight and we were the ONLY table in the house as the weather was horrible, so the food should have been fresh, hot and spectacular. It was not.Tonight, I ordered the fish and chips. I expected a typical fish and chips dinner; a hearty helping of beer-battered fish accompanied by and equally hearty helping of potato wedges..."chips", as they call them. Instead, I got one soggy, breaded tilapia fillet from Aldi that was warmed up in a toaster oven and slapped on top of a mound of greasy, re-fried French fries. Or so it seemed. Seriously, who came up with the presentation of this dish? It's horrid! The fish is not prepared in a manner that is hearty enough to withstand being placed on top of a mound of French fries. It was soggy, not crisp, so when you tried to cut a portion of the fish, it just mashed into the fries and fell apart. And the fries? They were a blend of fries that had been sitting around from a previous batch that were then mixed in with another batch of fresh fries and put into old grease. There's no way you can tell me any differently; I've been in the restaurant business far too long to not know that is exactly what happened here! Half of my fries (and my companion's) were burnt, dark amber wood chips. The other half were properly cook, although cold by the time they were served. Absolutely no excuse for that!The cole slaw was rancid. I ate one bite and it bit back. I've gone to the bathroom three times since I've been home. No lie. There was no rhyme or reason to any facet of this meal. The components, the preparation, the plating, or the price ($14). If you're going to offer "fish and chips", make it authentically "fish and chips", not "tilapia and French fries". Make it with a sturdy cod or other such white fish that is worthy of the name "fish and chips". And at least offer to serve it with malt vinegar, for goodness sake. I'm going to suggest that my group look for another venue. The standard of the kitchen seems to be sliding downward at Table Forty4.

We had a group of 22 with reservations made three months in advance. They were completely unprepared. People waited entirely way too long for dinner. My meat loaf was dry and lacked flavor. I ordered a side salad but it never arrived.It appered that everything was done cheaply. My co-workers complained about over cooked burgers and flavorless fish.The two star rating is for the drinks.I won't be back.

Great service. Great food. Amazing and friendly staff. Favorite bar in downtown Toledo

I'll start off by saying it was a busy night for the restaurant but I've been to a lot restaurants busy like this and never had any of these problems. It took over 20 minutes for a server to even greet us and take our drink order. Took off before we could order appetizers. Took another 20 minutes to get our drinks. We then ordered our food and appetizers. The server came back with more drinks, spilled one on the floor and table, which never got cleaned up the entire time we were there. The server came back after an hour of waiting on our food to tell us our ticket had not been started yet due to "the kitchen being backed up". And only after threatening to leave, all of the sudden she said our food would be out in 5 minutes.
