“ Food is always incredible, top notch. However, I have never had a drink that was good. It's never balanced. The service is usually slow too which isn't a big deal because I normally go there for a date night or to celebrate. I wish they would get a better bartender. ”
“ Registry Bistro is one of my favorite restaurants in the 419 zip code. Chef Erika prepares creative dishes using high-quality ingredients in a relaxed atmosphere. My partner and I had dinner there recently to support Restaurant Week. They offer a prix fixe menu with proceeds going to Leadership Toledo. For 35, you get market soup or salad, choice of four entrees and choice of three desserts. I ordered the market soup, which was a roasted corn chowder loaded with seafood. For my entree, I chose the Miso Blackstrap Walu with Wood Grilled Carrots. The fish was tender and flaky with a beautiful sear on the outside. My dessert choice was the Dr. Pepper Cake with Chocolate Crumb. It was light, yet decadent all at the same time. If you love a good craft cocktail as I do, make sure you order one. I ordered A Knife in the Garter Belt that was so smooth with an refreshing lemon flavor that paired perfectly with my dinner. They also make a very good old fashioned too! If you're a person who typically goes for quantity over quality, skip this place. However, if you love high quality, creative cuisine, give Registry a try! ”
“ We met friends for dinner and were very pleased with the food and drink. We had our own dining area next to a big window and it was great. It took quite a while to get our food and drink but we loved being able to hear each other and enjoy being together in an intimate setting. I will say we were informed that our table was reserved for another party 20 minute before their time slot. It ended up they had been seated in a different area. It kind of spoiled our ambiance but we would go there again. We shared several appetizers and dessert. Drinks were great. Entrees were superb. ”
“ Great food nice atmosphere. Great place for a date night. Unique menu. I have been here a few times and they are under staffed. Had reservations for 7:30 arrived a little early stood waiting for the maitre d' until 7:45 before we were greeted. There were open tables in the dining area. Apparently the maitre d' is also the fill in buss person and thee bartender is the fill in waitstaff. This has been similar situations the last two times that I’ve been here. Great food so I’ll be back but definitely need to bring your patience. ”
“ We visited on May 1,2025 to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. Everything was absolutely amazing! We ordered the fried cashews and Brussel sprouts appetizers. So delicious! We both ordered the swordfish, which was divine! Our cocktails were perfect! The service was very courteous and professional. We highly recommend this fine restaurant! ”
“ Came during happy hour. Opens at 4 but you can't order food until 5. So I ordered a smoked maple Manhattan drink. One of the easiest Manhattan drinks to consume. The maple makes it very smooth. Then ordered sweet bulgogi fries as an appetizer while waiting for the entree. Excellent. Don't let their small size fool you. Then ordered the Oak smoked ohio raised pork shank with grilled apples. It appears to be a small portion but I couldn't finish. The meat fell off the bone. Grits were great. The greens and grilled apples added new taste and texture which I appreciated. This restaurant isn't afraid to try new things which I love. ”
“ My wife and I had a very nice meal! Portion sizes are smaller, so I recommend getting an extra app or 2. You could tell the chef great pride in their work. The presentation was excellent! And the food was delicious! The atmosphere put it over the top, we had our own “balcony” and it was a quieter night. So it was very nice! We will be back! ”
“ Fine dining doesn't get much better than Registry Bistro. Friendly expedited courteous staff and bartender. Everything on the menu is delicious & reasonably priced offering a wide variety of wine and liquor choices. By far my favorite Bistro in town. If you haven't tried this restaurant you simply must add it to your bucket list. They don't disappoint. ”
