Indulge yourself Dining out is a sensory experience — from the sound of clanging kitchenware to the scent of basil on a slice of margherita pizza, eating out is so overwhelmingly sensual. Sometimes it's a test of will as much as it is an opportunity for pleasure. We invited our readers (some of the most discerning diners out there) to weigh in on who's dishing out the best food in Toledo. Then we asked the sexy servers at Toledo’s area restaurants to present the awards. As there's only so much we can do at the City Paper to recreate this experience — we're two-dimensional, after all, and scratch-n-sniff wouldn't do these dishes any justice — we thought we'd indulge your sense of sight. It's scrumptious, salacious, and a little sinful … just like the best meals are supposed to be. Welcome to the Dining Guide 2012. Eat up. —AO

Best Local Celebrity Dinner Companion
revolutiongrille.com The restaurant’s moniker is boastful, yes, but proprietor and chef Rob Campbell has earned his bragging rights. The unexpected take on American cuisine — the charred romaine salad tastes like a summer grill, in a good way — and the seasonal menu are two of its strengths. Its touchscreen tablet menus are a techno-touch in an otherwise classic, bistro-like setting. But Revolution Grille’s best asset is Campbell himself, who leaves no table of diners unvisited. He’s a restaurant owner with a sarcastic sense of humor and an easy way about him.
