My husband deems their menus "too exotic" for his taste so I jump at any opportunity with friends and family to dine here! Admittedly, I have peeked at my phone to identify a menu offering or two, but Registry Bistro rarely disappoints. Our latest visit was for a special Gatsby themed prix fixe menu and it was splendid! Dining room is sleek and elegant, service is always friendly and efficient, and Chef Erika Rapp is a welcoming presence! Highly recommend! read more

6-9-2026 We came for the Golden Hour. All the food (VIetnam) was very well-prepared. Unfortunately, I have a distaste for cilantro and a few of the dishes were prepared with it. No fault of the staff, I forgot to mention it. We enjoyed the papaya salad and board for 2 and a lovely orange wine. Jess, our server, was great and very busy. read more

There's always going to be something delicious happening at Registry Bistro. Their ingredients are always fresh and they've always got high class menu items. We came for happy hour this time which is Tues-Thursday 4-6pm where they are featuring monthly new menus with different focus areas. The Alpine Spritz beverage was herbacious and yummy. The ribeye skewers and lamb stroganoff meatballs were two favorites. I've also come for dinner and had their halibut which is absolutely divine. Its interior has that of a warehouse vibe and the service is always strong. You'll find the servers really know the menu and chef is very proud of the quality that they provide! This is a great spot that I feel sometimes gets slept on read more

I've dined at the Registry Bistro twice now and it's my favorite restaurant in Toledo! They have a wonderful menu with excellent food that is far better than anything while serving in the Navy, especially the crap fed to us during boot camp! I highly recommend dining at the Registry Bistro as it's the best food available in the greater Toledo area at reasonable prices as well. read more

My wife and I were in town for a Jim Gaffigan show. I read several reviews and decided to give the Registry Bistro a try. Overall, we had an excellent experience. Food, service, and the atmosphere were wonderful. We were early and got to see the place fill up as we enjoyed our experience. I had the Wood Grilled Ribeye and my wife had the Bucatini Carbonara . We also had a savory peach flat bread appetizer and the dessert for two experience. The "knife to the garter belt" and smoked maple Manhattan were also enjoyed. Highly recommended based on our evening. read more

This was my first visit and it won't be my last. I celebrated with my friend on her birthday and we enjoyed our dinner immensely! The service was excellent and the food was unbelievably delicious and know it was the best meal I've ever tasted. I'm a disabled Navy veteran and I'll always say my best meal I ever ate was at the Registry Bistro. I highly recommend dining at this beautifully decorated restaurant and also want to thank them for giving us a free Shareable Board of 5 desserts because it was delicious and perfect for ending our meal. Truly a stellar experience so thank you very much, Registry Bistro! read more

We arrived in Toledo an hour before walking into this delightful French bistro and were blown over by everything! The old world feel with high ceilings and open windows made you think you were across the pond. We showed up early and were welcomed with open arms and seated immediately. The cocktails were top shelf, appy and entrees outstanding, desserts delicious and the chef actually baked a loaf of bread for us to go! Do not miss visiting this place! read more

Tried to make a reservation for 7pm, unable to accommodate us at that time and moved us to 7:30pm instead. We came, got seated only 3 tables had customers. So there's a good 15 tables free, not busy on a Friday as they made it appear. Server was slow. We started with flights of red & white. She brought it and left. Did not care to explain the flights were getting..um ok. Our apps came: Chacuterie board and Escargot. It was ok. For our Mains: Snake Sturgeon, Island Salmon, Grilled lamb chops, Bucatini Carbonara. Food came, placed on our table and she left. The stacked used plates from our apps were, you guessed it she didn't bother to clean it up. My son enjoyed the lamb chops, bucatini was okay. I forked my salmon & it was raw! Looked around to see for any server..none. 10 mins came by, 15, 20, 30mins not one server to be found!!! My husband hasnt touched his food as well as he was waiting on me. At this point we're very disappointed, lost our appetite. Waitress eventually came, we said this was raw. Her reply "It's beet cured but yeah looks raw!" - no apologies! Mind you! She picked up my plate, and my husband's as we no longer wanted to eat. We all stood and left, she then said I apologize, without a hint of sincerity and no efforts made to resolve the unpleasant experience we had. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! We then headed to The Brim house to finish our dinner and food and service were phenomenal! read more

Date night Saturday night. Our reservation was for 7pm, but we were falling asleep, so luckily they were able to accommodate at 6:15. :) Only a few tables were occupied. Tall ceilings, nice ambiance, would have maybe liked some additional lighting such as candle light (or faux candle light). The weather outside was lovely and they opened the doors which gave way to French doors with iron railing. they were pretty! Our server mentions that the menu changes pretty frequently so we may not see on the menu what we read online. Fine by me, as you know from my reviews, I'm always up for a food adventure. I had a gin based cocktail which tasted balanced. Spring Mushroom Mousseline, Pistachio and Drunken Fruit with Date & Pecan bread. - Mousseline served in a glass votive like ramekin (much like you'd see foie), was tasty, creamy, albeit a little gritty from the pistachios. The bread came like a small loaf, almost precut (could have been sliced all the way through), with macerated cherry/cranberry compote. For a vegetarian option like foie, we were pleased and ate the entire portion. Scotch Olives with Saffron Aioli. These olives were HOT. No joke. A bit of, could you please blow on this before I burn my tongue? But, they were briny on the inside, with a perfectly coated fried crunch outside, and so yum once the heat dissipated. Nice touch on the aioli. Only 4 of them unfortunately... that's 2.25 each! Rosemary Grilled Lamb Chops with Seedy Broccolini Salad with Cherries. Wood grilled carrots and pomegranate molasses. $39. Nice presentation. Crunchy but soft carrots, broccolini cooked perfectly. Seemed a bit on the small side as far as meat goes. Two double lollipops. Cooked perfect, and beautiful gamey taste, just not too much bang for the buck. Grilled Sturgeon, warm rice salad, fiddlehead ferns, snap peas. Not a fan of the glaze ontop, the fish portion was fine, but lackluster. I'm a huge sucker for fiddlehead ferns, and I also know that they can be overcooked within seconds, which these were just slightly overcooked, lacked the snap in your teeth you get from a bright green cooked correctly one. Oh well. With everything in one bite, it was good, just not amazing. We shared the Mexican hot chocolate warm brownie/cake in a cup. The foam was nice, but the inside really reminded me of a fudgy cake you can buy in the grocery store, add water, and nuke in the microwave. Next time, happy to go back just for drinks and apps. Skip the more expensive "main" courses on their menu. read more

We woke up in Ohio.... dined in France. Well not exactly France -- at Registry Bistro on a Wednesday night. As if the evening wasn't already special, our server Cory and the host made the experience even better by opening our window while we enjoyed a Spanish Inspired Barcelona dinner. The ambiance was beautiful. The quality of food was great. This is a restaurant you'd have to experience for yourself! I would suggest making a reservation or calling ahead to make sure they're open to the public. We look forward to flying back to France -- I meant Registry Bistro. read more

Stopped in for a last second reservation with a party of 7. Service was good, they brought bread out to us that was paired with a nice, fluffy butter. I had the soup of the day, which was delightful, and the meatloaf sandwich. I would recommend both. Only negative was how the sound traveled around the restaurant, I felt like I could hear everyone else's conversations. read more

Dinner was great. My husband has the Duck and I had the vegan Salisbury steak. I loved that they had something for both of us. The sorbet dessert was also delicious.

What an adventure!!! A friend and I decided to go somewhere we had never been before. I searched for a place with vegan options and we landed here. First, Selina provided exceptional service. The menu is in French and Spanish and she gently guided us through the evening. Fresh squeezed lemonade, Spanish Red wine and food that was exquisite. This is a great place for friends, a date night, or any occasion. The cost of the food matches what you get. If you enjoy a multitude of flavors and culture this is the place for you. And the menu changes seasonally. I ate the vegan dish before I took a pic The chicken and shrimp dish for my friend is absolutely stunning. read more

WORST CUSTOMER AND DINING EXPERIENCE IN TOLEDO!!! Go to The Brim House it is only minutes away from this place. You will enjoy a beautiful view if the river, Connor will Wow you with his Customer Experience Focus and boy, food quality is magnificent at 30% leas than the Registry! https://brimhousetoledo.com/ I had an incredibly disappointing experience at Registry Bistro in Toledo, Ohio. From the very beginning, the front desk approach was far from welcoming. When we mentioned our reservation, the front desk attendant gave us a judgmental look from head to toe before pointing us to our table. It was definitely not a pleasant way to start our dining experience. The ambience of the restaurant was well below our expectations, especially considering the price range of the menu. The noise level in the bar area and among the diners was excessively loud, making it difficult to have a conversation. It simply did not match the caliber of the restaurant they were trying to portray. To start off, we ordered two flights of wine, one red and one white. Unfortunately, the bartender showed no interest in explaining anything about the wines. They simply plopped the glasses on our table and walked away. For a restaurant of this supposed caliber, we expected someone to at least provide some information about the wines, where they came from, and what we should expect. The appetizers we ordered were incredibly tough to the point where we couldn't even cut them with our knives. The lack of flavor made them even more disappointing. Moving on to the main course, my order was completely bland and lacked any distinct flavor. To make matters worse, it was also undercooked. When the food was brought to our table, the waitress disappeared immediately and did not return for a staggering 30 minutes. We constantly looked around, hoping for assistance, but even the other waitresses who made eye contact with us showed no interest in finding out if we needed anything. Even the manager, who saw us waiting, did not bother to ask if we needed assistance. Finally, our waitress reappeared after 30 minutes, but at this point, we were ready to leave. We expressed our extreme disappointment to her, explaining that we couldn't find her and that no one seemed to care about our needs. We had lost our appetite, so we decided to pay for what we had ordered and leave. The response from the waitress was simply, "Oh, okay," without even a hint of apology. It was a complete lack of concern or effort to rectify the situation. Overall, our dining and customer experience at Registry Bistro was absolutely terrible. I would strongly advise against wasting your time and money at this restaurant. It is most definitely not worth it. read more

I first would like to say for one: the service was terrible. Our waiter checked on us one time throughout the whole dinner, just for my order of salmon to come raw. Would not recommend this place to anyone else unless your looking for an unpleasant time and to waste your money read more

The bistro falls victim to the age old belief that sounding fancy means it is fancy. The place has the vibe of an art museum cafeteria. There is where the similarities end. I couldn't stomach to try the food after witnessing another patron munch on fries that wouldn't pass a McDonald's quality control inspection while they discussed their long ago sexual exploits. Service seemed okay but not really the type of service you would expect from a place that is trying to cater to the yuppie crowd. Ignore the stars and pass on this place. read more

Cute atmosphere with an incredibly friendly crowd. My boyfriend picked this place for my birthday, and I'm glad we went! Started off splitting some potato soup and then I ordered the rabbit pot pie (PERFECT crust, good size, a little too salty for my taste but I ate all of it anyways haha). My cocktail tasted a bit like Robitussin (the cough medicine) so I ended up pouring some water in it to downgrade the flavor and then ordered something different for my second drink. No big deal! On the flip side, my boyfriend loved his carbonara pasta and both of the cocktails he ordered. While my meal wasn't perfect, the service was much appreciated. They even brought out a plate of five different desserts and sang to me. I'd happily come back again and explore more of the menu. :) read more

We enjoyed the food and ambiance at the Registry Bistro. I had the vegan salsberry steak with mushroom gravy and parsnip puree. It was a delightful dish with interesting elements. My date had lamb shank over rice that once again included some surprising taste elements. The weather was nice enough the windows opened to balconies were open, which made the atmosphere incredible. My main frustration was with our server. It felt like the moment we didn't order drinks we were a second class table. We ordered an appetizer but eventually had to flag him down by name to put in our order because it had been over 20 minutes. The next time we saw him was one visit after our plates were mostly finished to check in. He did not check on the appetizer or the meals until that time. After the meal we had titied up our table and it had been bussed and we still hadn't seen him again. We had to ask another staff to find him for the check because we had another engagement and we were sitting at an empty table waiting on a check. We had talked about dessert but that was never offered and at that point, we were out of time. Overall the rest of the experience was great though and I would highly recommend the Registry for a nice night out. read more

My husband and I come here every year during December for our anniversary. Everyone is very accommodating. The food is amazing, and presentation makes me almost too sad to eat it. There's a cute art gallery connected. Drinks are good. And it's actually pretty cheap. Food is way too beautiful to only cost that much. It's the highlight of the end of my year when we get to go. Nice, quiet aesthetic. Everyone's very professional, and personable. Truly a joy to do every year. They always make my anniversary SPECIAL. THEY EVEN brought us surprise dessert. I've never had one complaint ever. Extremely classy. Love love love this place. They only offer a few things on the menu, but it's worth it, they tend to get a lot of exotic things to try. read more

Continues to exceed expectations on all fronts! Could hold its own in San Francisco or maybe even London.

What a great find right in downtown Toledo! I went with a friend early on a Saturday evening and was seated promptly. The interior design was unique enough that we got several minutes of conversation and enjoyment just from discussing the artwork. Next up were drinks. Oftentimes I find that the more unique the drink menu, the lower quality (at least taste wise) the drinks. It seems that restaurants try to outdo each other to the point where your eventually ordering something with obscure liqueurs and patchouli in it. Not so here! Unique drink menu, but delicious. We tried the martini with dill in it, and the femme fatale. Both wonderful. We also had a split of moscato, from their diverse wine menu. By far one of my favorite parts of the evening was he appetizer we ordered. The Butchers board is a must try. Every single item on it was both delicious and complementary. Bread provided with dinner was very good. We ordered the two small plates items as opposed to full meals, so I can't comment on their entrees; but, the burger pleases my very picky friend, and the gnocchi with morel mushrooms combo I ordered was divine. read more

My wife and I read the great review in the Blade last week, but had a reservation prior to that. We just want to echo that review. The food and service were excellent Toledo has few really classy "different" restaurants. The Registry Bistro has a unique but diverse menu. The food was excellent (we had an appetizer of Danish brie). The entree was a game bird (hen) with stuffing, and a blueberry dressing. It was wonderful. We had home made English toffee ice cream for dessert. Selena was our server and she was very attentive without being overbearing. We have nothing but good things to say about this restaurant. Great food, atmosphere (perhaps a little loud) but truly a delight. Well done Chef Erika! John Hagan 5 stars! read more

Firstly our waitress Courtney was wonderful, a complete sweetheart and knew the perfect things to recommend. That aside, the food was stupendous! This is a Mother's Day dinner my mother will never forget. For appetizers we ordered the French onion escargot and fruits de mer salad with caperberries & pickled chilies, the escargot was hard to get out of its shell but tasty nonetheless, the fresh seafood with basil chickpea puree was perfect. Our main courses were the stuffed trout, scallops and pork belly and achiote chicken. The flavors were impeccable, the chicken was both tender and juicy, the seasoning was delicious. The rice and plantains were perfect together. All in all this place is going to be a regular whenever we come to visit Toledo! read more
