Been customer for 30 years, with different owners etc. had dinner tonight with wife, menu has changed, prices have increased,plus they now charge for salads & soup with entree, NYC prices, lousy Findlay service, been a good run, but not anymore. Maybe it's the economic impact, but was really disappointed! I'm Tapping out! Cheers! read more

Had a reservation for 7pm on a Saturday night. Showed up 20 minutes early as recommended and was sat right away. We then sat for 30 plus minutes with no service. No menus, no acknowledgement, no water, nothing. They didn't even seem to be that busy as half the tables looked empty. Very disappointed. So we walked across the street to Logan's Irish Pub where we were served right away and the food was great. read more

Everything was perfect! Great cocktails, great service and the perfect atmosphere! My favorite restaurant in Findlay! read more

Uh, yum! I never would have known to stop in here, but thankfully I was with a coworker last night who knew where to go. The menu was full of delightful options, and the starter salad selection is fantastic. I was able to sub raw red onions on my Fuji for pickled ones, which today me appreciates tremendously (raw onions hurt my tummy, ya know?). Service was great. The server touched the table at just the right times, timed the salad and main courses perfectly, and asked but didn't pester about drinks and dessert. Water was refilled timely, never running dry but not too often. Best of all, it was a Monday night and they were open! Love it! Come here, you won't be disappointed! read more

Everyone in my party of 5 enjoyed the food. The menu offers innovative takes on the most common of choices--the grilled cheese being one example. I went for that most boring of choices, the house salad. Not boring here! Granny smith apples, walnuts, and feta cheese. However, the FIRST thing I observed was the taste of absolutely FRESH, CLEAN lettuce! That's the mark of a detail-attentive kitchen. read more

Drinks, food and service was great. Experience ruined by application of gratuity. I'm on board with the tipping system as I've made a living with it years ago. I can even accept the automatic charge for large parties. Although at that point it's a service charge NOT a tip. What crosses a line for me is when I have a 20% charge added from the tax. Why do I have to increase the server's wage because of the government's fee? on top of that, the 20% charge was applied to the service fee for using a card instead of cash. Any automatic gratuity/service charge should be limited to the cost of the food and drinks! It will never be my idea to go back here. read more

Bistro on Main is a really great restaurant. Its interior décor is very dark but totally charming and comfortable. Their menu is most interesting. Beloved and I share a plate of their Kobe Meatballs, which were exceptionally good. I then went on and had a small Caesar but for my entrée, a Chilian Sea Bass which was most uniquely prepared with a totally delicious jalapeno bourbon cream sauce topping all set upon a cauliflower puree. Even at $40, well worth it. I also had a couple of their cocktails which were of a decent pour and nicely mixed. The bartender was friendly and the service overall very good. I'd highly recommend Bistro on Main. read more

Only went for a drink, but waited at the bar for 15 minutes before they even acknowledge that we were there. I think that if I had not gotten up to request to pay for my bill, I would still be sitting there. Didn't have food so I can't comment on that. But the bartenders probably should get off their phones and actually pay attention to the customers. read more

A nice treat. We stopped through on our way to Columbus and were looking for a nice date-night meal. It wasn't our first choice due to lack of an online menu to get us to stop in, but we were happy to find it. Similarly, the lack of an online menu along with my poor memory means I can't give a good dish by dish review. For an appetizer, we had a calamari al diavolo. Very tasty. We had the steak. It was perfectly prepared. The sauce was a perfect accompaniment. The cocktail menu had several good options. The beer options especially for folk from Michigan who are used to large variety... less so. Stick with the cocktails! read more

Dear Yelpers, Findlay isn't know for much, but what it lacks in things to do, it makes up for in places to eat and Bistro is on that list. Upscale vibes for a reasonable price, the food here will definitely keep you coming back. Been there multiple times and don't think I've had a bad meal yet. Most recently got to try the Kobe Meatballs and it was delicious. Meatballs were cooked perfectly and basically fell apart. The noodles were a bit over seasoned due to the way they were soaking in the grease in the bowl, but still tasty! They also have an extensive bar selection so you'll have all the options you could hope for. Your friendly neighborhood foodie read more

The meatballs were great but had a strong raw garlic flavor. The service was very slow for lunch at non-peak hours. However, the interior is nice so that's a plus, but I was expecting meatballs to take less than an hour to get to the table when the restaurant is not super busy. read more

Came to dinner here for the first time on a double date and it was fantastic. The food, service and ambiance were fabulous! We ordered the Kobe Meatball and the Chicken parm, both came with HUGE portions and were made to perfection! Next time that we are in Findlay, OH we will definitely be back! read more

Outstanding in every way! Highly recommend this wonderful place. Great find in a charming Ohio town. Daniel is the chef and is top shelf in culinary talent. 5 Stars is not enough for this establishment. Alex, our sever, was fabulous as well. MUST VISIT when in Findlay! read more

Good news, bad news. First the bad news, if you can call it that. The menu on Yelp isn't accurate. Call the restaurant. They do seasonal dishes and yelp isn't up to date. Second, the portions are large, we actually had to cancel our dinner. Good news... the portions are large! We started and finished with a Ceasars salad, meatballs, and ham potato soup. Didn't get a pic of the soup, I literally downed it. The meatball appetizer is beautifully served with a nice side of mozzarella and toasted bread. This is my only complaint, the bread was a little over toasted. The meatballs have a lot of peppery spice and beautiful fresh basil and sauce. The Ceasars salad was cold, crisp, fresh, and delightful. So, back to the cancelation of dinner. We got thru the soup and started on the meatballs when we realized we weren't going to be able to eat much more. This is not typical for is not fortunately they don't rush the meals so we were able to cancel on time. Highly recommend this little highlight on Main in Findlay. read more

This was a meeting place for us who all drove two hours to get here. The restaurant is tiny but adorable. We had reservations and were seated right away. It took almost 20 minutes to get our cocktails after we ordered them. They were quite tasty. We ordered the whipped feta and Brussels sprouts for apps - both were very good. Our entrees included the lobster risotto, crispy duck and the meatball. All of the food was fabulous. I'm only leaving four stars because our service was less than stellar. Messed up drink orders, food orders, to go containers, checks. Our server, while very nice messed up pretty much whatever she could. She even spilled tomato soup on one of our party and didn't offer anything to compensate. We had to ask for club soda. Therefore, 4 stars. read more

Ambience is old school, leather and dark wood. Food is excellent, great taste and presentation. The waiter was very attentive and well knowledgeable about everything. We' ll go back for sure. read more

This place is truly a diamond in the rough, we weren't sure exactly what to expect and it far surpassed all of our expectations. The service was impeccable and super friendly, we were seated almost immediately. Everything we ordered was top notch, drinks were great and the food was just as good. We'll definitely be back and would definitely recommend for others to check this place out!!!! read more

Two of us dined here on a Weds night around 8pm. We split the walnut/gorgonzola/apple salad with lemon poppyseed dressing. Delicious. Bread (free) was really good and was served with salted honey butter. Also delicious. Husband had a burnt sugar old fashioned which contained orange bitters, a Luxardo cherry and a dehydrated blood orange slice. He said it was one of the best old fashioneds he ever had. Our server, Alex, actually made the drink. I have a garlic allergy, which sometimes frustrates a server or chef. They accommodated me without making me feel like a hypochondriac or diva. She was amazing! Husband loved his sausage/peppers/chicken penne. My shrimp risotto had to be modified due to my allergy and it turned out to be delicious also. Very cool place. Main floor probably seats about 50 (guessing). Pretty wide open. Would be nice for a party. We didn't go upstairs, which has been used for a banquet room. I'd be here once per week if I lived nearby. Great everything! Try it out! read more

Food- the food was decent but the pasta sizes were huge and a bit soupy. The salads were super fresh and the fried burrata was good. Service- our server was nice but it took awhile to get anyone to look at us when we sat down. All courses took awhile to come out which made the experience less enjoyable. Atmosphere- the restaurant is super modern and beautiful! The atmosphere is a good date night vibe. Overall, we were hoping for it to be better, but not bad. read more

Coworkers recommended this place and decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did! Great atmosphere and friendly service. The lasagna was great! Very generous portion with a bit a pesto for added taste. If you're thinking of trying this place, DO IT!! read more

Great date night restaurant. Nice selection of wine, craft beer and cocktails. The food is always great.

Delicious food and generous portions. Try the deviled eggs. They're elevated from your backyard bbq. Excellent and something different than you'd see on a restaurant menu. read more

This has to be the best restaurant and service in Findlay. I ate at the bar and the bartender Lisa was amazing, even though it was a busy night. She made us fantastic specially cocktails and was on top of everything all night. We had the burrata appetizer- amazing. I could eat it over and over again. I also had the Alforno, which is a huge dish, but delicious. (I can't wait to get to the leftovers!) My dining companion has the fried chicken and enjoyed it as well. I can't wait to stop in again and try some other menu items! read more

Had high hopes for this place but was a bit disappointed. First of all beware of menus online for this place because many are wrong and out of date. So when we first called a lot of items we were interested in they didn't have. I got the alforno for my entree. I was hoping for something a bit more light but the ravioli were huge and stuffed with spinach and cheese drowning in a cream sauce with pre cut grilled chicken and cheese. The chicken seemed frozen and it was weird that it was pre cut. There was no flavor at all and the cream sauce was super heavy. I ate the ravioli but couldn't stomach the chicken or the sauce. The tomato soup that was highly recommended came with grated cheese on top but to me was not good and tasted like tomato paste. However, the dessert, salad, bread, and the entree my partner got, wild mushroom buccatini, were good. I don't know. Menu seems a bit hit or miss based off our experience. Friendly staff though. Might try again. read more

Surprise "processing fee" not disclosed up front added to the bill. At least if they had been honest and given advance notice I could have chosen to go elsewhere. Instead they saved this scam fee until after we had eaten. I'll never return and I highly recommend not patronizing business with scam fees. read more

Great restaurant on the Main Street strip in Findlay,Ohio. Casual elegant atmosphere with tons of history as a old cigar factory and gaming establishment. Menu is very nice with a great selection. Pasta dishes and salads are outstanding. Without a doubt the B-E-S-T marinara sauce I've ever tasted. Kobe meatballs are a must try! Staff was friendly and very attentive and helpful. read more

Background: 40yr old married female from Columbus We stopped here for dinner and I thought the food was fantastic. Wine selection was good quality and food was great.

I would definitely come back! read more

Always have excellent service and talented bar staff. Pasta portions are large if that's what you're looking for. Calamari is perfect. Love the recent updates to the space. One of our favorite spots for an good cocktail. read more

I think i've had one of the best meals here while visiting Findlay. The penne dish with spicy sausage & pepperoncinis really impressed me. I had the warm bacon starter salad as well, and recommend it. The atmosphere is cozy, music is not loud, and the service is on their toes. I finished with their praline tart. Not bad! I wish the crust had some crispness to it, but i Suspect the chocolate makes that impossible. As loooooong as i can taste some butter, i'm good. read more

Very sad. It used to be our "go-to" place in Findlay. We had our first date there in 2009. Went back tonight for the first time in 3 years, grand disappointment. Bistro Salad (a former favorite) was large with greens and low on the apples and cheese. Cheap. The pasta dishes were too large and tasteless. In short they traded volume for quality. Also the server didn't know how to serve an $80 bottle of wine, gave each of the four of us the taste pour and left, I had to ask for a regular pour in each glass. Very disappointing. read more

This place is a hidden gem in a small town. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great ambience, excellent service, and a delicious menu full of variety. From start to finish our dinner was fantastic the appetizer was amazing the main course the short ribs delicious and various options for all appetites to select from. The pricing was on point and match the quality and the service. RaiderMan Approved! read more

Bistro On Main - Short Ribs ..... So good! - Italian Near Me - Findlay, Ohio

Background: Business traveler, early 30's, solo. This place is absolutely fantastic for supper. Everyone was extremely friendly, the food is outstanding, and there are plenty of choices on the menu. The environment is nice and dark, would be a great place for a romantic date. I normally deduct a star for no dedicated parking, but there were so many street spaces available when I visited that I'm not taking any points off here :) Overall, highly recommend! read more

First time I came, I made a dinner reservation for Saturday night. My party was seated immediately. I ordered house salad and scallop chef special. Our waitress was very friendly, attentive, and answered all our questions. Everyone enjoyed their meal at our table. Second time I went, I came for lunch during the week. I ordered the chef special again (because clearly this chef has mad talent and great taste)-- I was not disappointed! The arugula salad and salmon was A-MAZ-ING!! The salmon was pan-seared perfectly, well seasoned, and the skin was crisply. The salad had a great vinaigrette dressing, blue cheese, tomatoes, and candied nuts! This salad is what dreams are made of!! And most importantly (in my opinion for good salad), the arugula was washed and throughly worked through so there was no slimy bad green lettuce. Dining atmosphere is perfect. This is probably the best food I've had in Findlay. Can't wait to come back! read more

This may be the best restaurant in the Findlay area AND THAT'S NO JOKE. They've absolutely nailed it! The ambiance is dark, just like a bistro tucked in a French corridor. The smell will hit you as soon as you walk through the door. It's a dank, meaty, freshly-spiced smell that only comes from a kitchen that is using the heat correctly. They do everything perfectly. The meat, the seafood, the cocktails, the desserts- they are all spot-on. I suggest getting an appetizer from their ever-evolving menu. The grilled mozz bits were scrumptious, and the charcuterie tray spans a ton of different flavors. Next, order one of their extremely tasty meat selections; they're always cooked perfectly. The lobster risotto is a stand out! Pair your food with their hand crafted cocktails, and watch their experienced bartenders work their magic. Sit near the mid-rear of the shotgun-style restaurant if at all possible. It gets busy around the front and back. Again, these guys do everything right. I've been there 5 times since moving here, and have not had a single bad experience. read more

Great atmosphere. Food is always delicious, friendly service. Great place for a romantic dinner. Highly recommend!

Was okey but very expensive. Food was great, but waitress came to us every 2-3 min to ask some questions and rush us to order, it was kinda very annoying. But for the rest if you do not mind spend 130-150$ per 2. It is a great place. read more

Love this restaurant but made SEVERAL attempts at having the owner contact me about catering an event, to no avail. Best to dine in, I suppose! read more

This place looks really trendy and hipster. Dark ambient lighting. Good service. They give you complimentary bread and sweet whipped butter which tasted amazing. They play ambient jazz music in the background which is perfect for setting for a romantic dinner. The salad with my entree was pretty good. Please review my pictures for the salad. I ordered the veal scaloppini which was superb...i can eat this everyday. Would definitely come back to this place if I lived in the area. read more

I have eaten here twice and both times the food was not edible. I ordered the lamb meatball pasta and the meatballs were so over cooked that they couldn't be cut with a knife. The same goes for my next visit. I ordered the cod special and it was black it was so burnt. I can't believe the waitress actually served it as it was very noticeable. The corn fritters were rock hard as well. Will only go back for drinks as the food is way overpriced for something I can't eat. read more
