We made a note to come hungry next time, so we did! Yesterday, we went! We got sat right away and our waiter Gavin immediately approached us asking what we'd like to drink. We expressed we are first timers and what are they best known for on their menu? He gave us fabulous suggestions! He provided Excellent service, like truly excellent! You'd think we were at a five star restaurant! He even let us in on a little secret! Ask for a little side of vanilla ice cream to go with their most amazing sweet potato casserole! Minds were blown! I love trying new foods, so we definitely got to explore the menu and try delicious items! The rice in gravy, broccoli salad, and some of their seasonal specials! We LOVED it! We will definitely be back now that we know the restaurant we will always go to when we go to Hartville! I'm sure the rest of their staff is great, but I will definitely be asking for Gavin each and every time we go! (Btw, my better half has a lot of experience in restaurants and was asking about the culture there... Gavin had nothing but GREAT things to say and how much he truly loves working there - it shows! Thank you, Gavin for such a great dining experience!) My only regret is we had no idea that we'd love the experience so much that we'd want to write a review, and ate the food so fast, we never took pictures!

I have been here numerous times and I really haven't ever had anything that wasn't delicious. Some…read moreof my favorite dishes are the fried chicken breasts and the fried cod. Both are fresh and so good. With the entrees you get your choice of 3 sides. Those are always the hardest choices because there are so many to choose from. I almost always choose the salad because they have the best salad. The lettuce and carrots are chopped up small and the house made dressings are delicious. The other sides I like are the crinkle cut fries, home fries, jo jo potatoes, Amish noodles, pasta salad, and the hot rice sauce. The hot rice sauce is like nothing I've ever had before. The sauce is a little spicy and it has some rice in it it. Hard to describe but once I tried it, I was hooked. I also have never seen it at any other restaurant. Their pies are delicious. I always get the cherry crumb or the dutch apple pie which are really good. On my last trip we tried the butterscotch pie and that was absolutely delicious. This place gets packed. If you come when they open, there is usually a long line to get in. I recommend coming a little after they seat the line. The restaurant itself is huge and airy. Service is always great and friendly. And they have Coke Zero on tap which is always a plus in my book.

We had to ask for regular, and I know that's not a huge deal but not everyone wants a flavored creamer so why not have a couple to choose from already out? Our waitress whom was nice, asked if we were ready to order or needed more time after bringing the coffee to us and we weren't ready so she said she'd be back and to take our time. At least 15-20 minutes later she returned, she had forgotten about us. I should mention there was enough staff out front and it wasn't busy. Ok, fine. I ordered there social breakfast and my husband made his own omelet. Not much to choose from. He initially wanted cheese, sausage, onion and green peppers. They don't have green peppers but have jalapeños. He asked what they do have and she mentioned mushrooms and cucumbers. He passed on any other veggie. We got our breakfast within reasonable time. My scrambled eggs, home fried and bacon were quite dry. My husbands omelet was without cheese and our waitress finally came over to ask how things were and left quickly so my husband couldn't say anything. This one is on my list of, "never to return" unfortunately.

I just wish they offered lower calorie options for dressings. The service seems like it'd be very good if I were to dine-in. I hope to do that soon and feel like a local!

I'd give this a 4.25 stars. If you read my reviews, you know that terrible car accidents happen to me after work dinners (see review on The Industry for one such example). Thankfully, dear readers, I did not have any car incidents after THIS specific work dinner. Haha! Anyway, The Bistro of Green is in a strip mall five minutes from my work office and is an institution for locals in the area - people in my group were reminiscing about coming to Bistro multiple times a month before Covid, back when they were open for lunch. The menu seems to change often. They do have a couple specials on a board outside the door that are not on their printed menu, just FYI. Our dinner took over 2 and a half hours, starting with complimentary bread and our drinks of choice. The free bread was fine. I ordered a seasonal cocktail, the Apple Cranberry Sangria, despite cocktails not having a price listed (see menu picture). I tend never to order things that do not have the price listed but the cocktail sounded too good to resist. It was yummy and very sugary and fruity, with added mint leaves that definitely brought it up a notch! Our party also split 4 appetizers: the hot peppers ($13), baked provolone ($14), calamari ($16), and flatbread ($16). As the portions are not meant to be shared between 10 people, I only had a little bit of each. I wasn't into the peppers (too mushy) but the calamari was my favorite! I could see myself ordering this as a dinner just for myself in the future. Two thirds of the hot pepper dish was ignored by the group in the end. For my main, half of which I took home as it was getting very late and my drive back home is almost an hour, I chose to get the Bistro burger (medium rare) and fries ($18). This was chosen based on cost alone - even though I really wanted a chicken or steak dish, I just could not afford them. I am only a lonely assistant, not a CEO! I debated getting one of the other sandwich options, also both $18, but the lack of pictures either on Google or Yelp made me just stick with a burger. My lack of funds kept me from being too adventurous for this dinner, sadly. Next time, I'd be down to try their fancy grilled cheese (or steak, if someone else foots the bill). The burger was good, although not amazing, and the fries were that nice mix of just oily and crispy enough. Service was okay. Things apparently got busy at the bar, so it took longer than it should have for us to get our drinks and food throughout the night. As for vibes, it was nicely decorated for Christmas, lights were dim, and Christmas music played softly in the background. No complaints here! In the end, for a sangria, burger, fries, tax, and tip (plus a 3% surcharge for using a credit card), my dinner cost me over $40. Can you imagine just how much worse the bill would have been if I hadn't gotten the cheapest thing on the menu? Next time, I will also remember to bring cash. And choose a more unique dish.
