Here's my thought, it's a 4 star restaurant…read more(probably like a 4.3) when comparing it to every restaurant in the Stark County/Portage/Summit area. When you compare it to Springfield? It's a 6 star restaurant, if such a thing exists. They have the absolute best appetizer menu I've ever seen. There were 8 items on the appetizer menu and with just 3 of us, we obviously couldn't order all of them. We started with the Bavarian pretzels, mashed potato balls, calamari and sauerkraut balls. And that's also the order I would rank them. The pretzels were the best I've had, maybe ever. The mashed potato balls would have been at the top of any other restaurants list, but not here. The sauerkraut balls were good, but not great and the calamari was also good. For our entrees, we split a patty melt, which might as well be called a party in your mouth melt. To die for. We also split the ribeye, and here's my story about that: 12 years ago, my wife and I were at Hyde Park in Columbus and I had to this day, the greatest ribeye I've ever had in my life. The problem comes, that I'm always chasing that ribeye. Every time I go to a restaurant, I debate in my head between the filet and the ribeye. And 99 times out of 100 I go with the ribeye. And 99 times out of a hundred, I regret my decision... Until tonight, IG does what everybody needs to do but only a select few are able to do and that's what makes the ribeye fat the best part of the steak. Somehow this place in a strip mall in Sprngfield OH does what every steakhouse tries to do, nails the ribeye.

The burger was fine but at the end of the day tasted bland and worse than something I could've thrown on the burner in a few minutes. The fries were really good though. Our server was friendly and actually talked a bit to us about the "best burgers in Akron" tournament we'd seen. The restaurant looked nice and felt upscale. But at the end of the day the price for what we got did not feel very justified. Felt overpriced for a mid burger and good fries.

My work, a group of 10, had their end of the year dinner party here in mid December of 2025 and we…read morewere overall, happy with our service, food, and experience, despite service being a little slow and prices a little high and some food a little bland. 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.

I've never been here before but I know it's a fairly popular place so I was quick to agree to the location. We originally sat at the bar but the stools were so incredibly uncomfortable, so we moved to a booth. While our server was nice, it did take her quite a while to come take our drink order. I got a "lavendar breeze" for my first drink and it was delicious. The menu is small, with the focus being on grilled cheese sandwiches. I'm not a huge grilled cheese lover, so I ordered a wedge salad (with house white French dressing) and the sauerkraut balls from the appetizer menu. The salad was on par with what you'd expect, the dressing was tasty. The sauerkraut balls, though, kind of threw me. First, it's a HUGE serving. There was around 30-40 sauerkraut balls in the basket; way more than I ever imagined would be in an order. I was expecting four or five golf ball sized balls. Maybe I've been spoiled by having some fantastic sauerkraut balls, but these were subpar, at best. They didn't have a lot of flavor and the cocktail sauce they served with them was an odd choice. While I still enjoyed time catching up with a friend and the drinks were well done, I doubt I'll come back for food. The menu just wasn't appealing to me and what I did have wasnt good enough to lure me back anytime soon.

We were in town for a wedding nearby and most of the family was staying at the hotel where the restaurant is located. Because most of the group was from out of town, everyone decided to eat at this restaurant located in the hotel to avoid transportation. We had the entire restaurant to ourselves with some other patrons at the bar. When our waitress brought just three menus for a party of seven and tossed a stack of Dollar store napkins in the middle of the table, with silverware on top, I should've known what was coming. The first three things I tried to order from the menu--soup of the day, chicken marsala, and broccoli--were all unavailable. Yes, three in a row! I finally ended up with a steak that I asked for medium, but it came out completely cooked through with no pink at all. Between the missing menu items, lackluster presentation, and poorly cooked food, the whole experience was a huge letdown. One thing they obviously had on hand was plenty of salt! I'm pretty sure we all consumed our limit of sodium for the week. One thing I can say is that all of the staff were extremely friendly and nice. I truly felt bad for our waitress. I gave the three stars based on the fact that the hotel uses the same area for breakfast and the server deserved five stars for breakfast. It was not a large buffet, but it was well presented and fresh (real scrambled eggs with cheese made on site which seems to be a rarity hotels these days).

If you didn't know it was a restaurant, you might guess something else entirely. Inside is a classic old school steakhouse. Dim lighting, white tablecloths, wallpaper that hasn't changed in decades. There's even some leftover COVID plastic sheeting still up. Traditional is the kind word for it. Our server was the awesome. Fantastic and hilarious on a busy night. The steaks were excellent. Cooked right, seasoned well, great texture. You can tell it's prime beef. I had the blackened grouper. For me, it was overcooked and dry in the middle. I used to work near the ocean and ate fresh grouper regularly, so I'm picky there. Not a big deal, but worth noting. My real issue is value. Steaks start around $48 for a 9 oz and climb to nearly $90. At that price I expect more than a steak and a couple simple sides. Other restaurants in this range give you something extra. Local sourcing, a featured farm, a clear identity. Here it's prime beef and that's it. I enjoyed the meal. The food and service earn the four stars. But I won't be rushing back. You can find food just as good for less and walk out happier about the bill.
