The vibe, the vibe, the vibe.... this is what they mean when they say, "It passed the vibe check!" Simply beautiful. Went here for an impromptu birthday dinner, and we left angry that we'd been through Findlay so many times and had never stopped her before.First, the aesteics are moody abs modern with dark black walls and a single rose on the table! Pops of silver read fancy without trying too hard. Like she's whispering,... "If you know, you know." Every table feels like VIP sans velvet rope.Can we pause and give the drummer some? In this case, it's the bar! Exquisite!!! Signature drinks, sexy and flawlessly smooth with the perfect flavor profiles and garnished beautifully without doing too much. This is where the art of mixology trump a waiter that runs behind the bar to make a drink every time.Food superb,.... service outstanding. Just go, because frankly, I'm going back. I mean, who the heck makes meatloaf from duck???!!!! Look, it should be illegal the way our eyes glazed over as we were served an entire pork shank! Even the salad was banging!This is an awesome gem in small town America... patronize a business that's doing it right!

The food was just okay, Basil Tomato soup with too much cheese on top and a grilled cheese sandwich. But I found the anti-male wall 'art' / pictures ridiculous. What kind of brilliant managerial mind thinks, "Yes, let's insult half of our clients because we can in this day and age." For that I will not be going back and will never recommend.

I didn’t want to send a bad review on their site so I sent a Facebook message to them on March 10 but nobody has ever responded. It’s still a great place to eat, we just had a bad experience that day, which just happened to be on my birthday.

Went in for a lunch meeting and my overall experience was, just ok. When we walked in the gentleman that was at the front desk seemed to have an attitude and tossed the menus on the table acting all dejected. The Lady that ended up serving the table did a wonderful job.The food was overall nothing special. As the kids would say, Mid.

The woman who served us, Anna, was wonderful. She was kind, professional, and very courteous. She made us feel very special. We would return because of her and the food!

This is my favorite restaurant in downtown Findlay. LOVE their Bistro salad AND iced tea; I get the same thing every time I go here. Also, the interior design is beautiful.

Nice vibe in here. You can also tell they put some effort into their menu. Multidimensional layers of flavour in each dish. Great service as well. Can’t go wrong here.

Omg what a gem of a restaurant. Every single thing that hit the table was fantastic. Even the bread is too good. We came on a Monday night so the place was pretty laid back and chill and service was great. We will definitely be back!!

I didn't know what to expect in Findlay Ohio when I was there this past weekend for a wedding. The woman I were hungry for dinner on Friday nights so I found this restaurant called The bistro in Findlay Ohio. Walked into the core was modern and very bright and spacious. It took us a moment to get seeded I think they were waiting for groups at able to leave before we set down. But we were able to order started off with whipped feta and pita bread with honey and olives. Then we had the next appetizer a fried mozzarella encoded with panko breading along with the amazing marinara sauce and arugula salad on top. I like fruit in my salad so I tried the Fiji salad with balsamic vinaigrette. In a sun-dried tomato pasta that was on par an bangin. The only thing that they needed to do is keep the portions a little smaller so you don't get full on everything else you trying.

My amazing friend invited my husband and I to dinner this week and we ended up at the Bistro on Main. Everything from the drinks to the dessert were beyond delicious. The staff and proprietor were so friendly that I felt like I was with good friends that had invited us to their home! I don’t know if I can describe the food and do it justice but it was amazing, we had soup and salad for starters and we got to try the Mussels and fries. For the main courses we had the Lobster Risotto, Crab Cakes, and Chicken Parm. We ended up getting to try a new dessert that didn’t have a name yet. It had a warm bourbon Carmel sauce on top of warm cake and served with vanilla ice cream (I recommend naming it “Cozy London” or “Sticky Fingers”). I regret not taking pictures of all of the food but everything was a 10 out 10!If you are looking for a new place to have drinks and food with friends I highly recommend Bistro on Main, they not the atmosphere will disappoint!

The brunch pop-up I recently stumbled upon felt like a serendipitous culinary discovery. It exuded an air of laid-back charm with a menu that boasted comforting favorites with a gourmet twist. The standout dish was undoubtedly their chicken and waffles. The waffle was a perfect amalgamation of crisp exterior and a fluffy inside, harmoniously complemented by succulent chicken that was fried to golden perfection. Every bite was a delightful play on textures and flavors, with a hint of sweet and savory that lingered on the palate.But it would be an oversight not to mention their innovative French toast sticks. This wasn’t the typical breakfast item many are accustomed to. Each stick was an indulgent masterpiece, crispy on the outside with a melt-in-your-mouth center that hinted at a blend of cinnamon and vanilla. They were the epitome of brunch decadence. I can only hope this pop-up decides to lay down permanent roots, for brunches like these should be a regular Sunday indulgence.

We had a dinner for 6 people. The wait time for food was very long we had several tables around us receive their drinks, apps, and entree's in the time it took for us to receive our apps. Our wives ordered the beef tenderloins at 60 dollars a piece. My wife ordered mid rare and my friend ordered hers medium. Both Tenderloins came out looking extremely well done with no pink. We requested they be re-done. When they came the second time they were extremely raw. We cut them again with the server at the table. The server was not able to distinguish the temperature of the steak from looking at it. I could tell they were under cooked when he set them down and they were jiggling. The server applied a AAA discount to the ticket to accommodate the poorly cooked steaks. I appreciate the consideration however I have AAA and the total discount only amounted to roughly $25 dollars of a $270 check. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and overall the experience should have or could have been great but missed the mark.
