We started off Restaurant Week Toledo at Assembly and it was fantastic! Loved the Campfire Whiskey cocktail. The pork belly appetizer was delicious, the lazy chicken was simple yet super flavorful, and the chocolate zucchini torte was heavenly rich. Quiet environment and delicious food and drinks made for a good first night of RWT 2025.
