Restaurants near Black Swamp Bird Observatory

The Standard is a restaurant that doesn’t skip a beat or cut any corners. The whole place is a vibe. The kitchen is amazing, the Chef and his staff know what they are doing and take pride in the plates they serve to guests. The service is professional, personable, and hits all the marks. It’s an uptempo and energetic restaurant that knocks it out of the park every visit. Easily one of, if not THE best in Northwest Ohio.

The seasonal special of butternut squash ravioli with lobster was amazing! We also enjoyed our usual favorites- gnocchi with vodka sauce, sausage flatbread. The winter white wine was delicious, especially when warmed! Always a great evening at Cooper's Hawk!

Very good meal recently at the Orchard. Started the evening at the Coop for Christmas cocktails before heading across the parking lot for dinner. We ate on a Wednesday, which is 1/2 off wine night. It's a great deal to enjoy a high end wine and also take one home. Service from Bree was excellent. She is spot on with her timing, but never obtrusive. Started with the Wagu meatballs with fig glaze. They were delicious. For entrees we had the chicken. Good size portion, but the paprikash sauce was a little heavy handed and the gnocchi were too dense. Also had the seafood duo. The lobster and shrimp were both very good, but the dish was overpriced. The peanut butter pretzel brownie was tasty. Live music by one of the original Herman's Hermits was excellent. Sat in front of one of the beautiful fireplaces for a relaxing evening. Cheers!

Celebrating 2 bdays. They had the table ready and gifts for birthdays. Attentive service and absolutely amazing food. I only hope I tipped enough.

Good food and nice atmosphere. For a party of 4, 2 of our meals came out more than 10 minutes before the other two which seemed very strange and awkward. When we finally asked to check on the other two, the waitress sounded like that was normal because it's just not possible to know how long the flatbreads might take. Really strange.
