Bistro On Main

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!

First ( and last) visit.

Apparently it takes an hour to make a salad. Went there for lunch. Walked in at 11:30, first people there. Greeted and given a table.

While looking at menu another two tables were seated. Gave our order of two salads, then waited. And waited. And waited.

Watched five table get their food while we didn't. Asked server who said she's ( the cook ) working on it. After 45 minutes still no food.

Walked out and told server too long. His reply ... "ok". Guess he didn't care.

Lots of good restaurants in Findlay. Will never return to this one.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
