Bistro on Main: New American Cuisine in Kent, OH

The $5 burger night is a steal! Tasty food, generous portions, friendly people. Will be back

Really great service, draft beers, cocktails. The food was really good although a little expensive. The vibe is a little strange - dark and dated.

Seared chicken was absolutely delish! Cooked to perfection, chicken super moist. Perfect place for date nights. super classy and high end. Would prefer that servers had more professional attire. I wasn't expecting to be greeted by a server in blue jeans though.

The Bistro never misses. Food is always phenomenal. Service is great. Inside or outside seating is good. Pizzas are amazing and I've never had a bad entree. I would recommend the brisket fries as well.

We brought friends to Bistro on Main. We called to have for four at the bar. Yes, reservations to sit at the bar because of the popularity. The bartenders Krista, Nancy and Maddy are very nice. The plantain nachos are delicious and my wife's favorite. The friends had the brisket and were very pleased. Krista recommended the osso buco and she did not steer me wrong. The bar side atmosphere of the restaurant is more inviting than the dining room. Monday through Friday happy is the way to go.

Awesome food. The berry salad with candied nuts is delicious. I had it two days in a row! The brisket fries are not to be missed. But the thing we have to talk about here is the Mac and cheese. We ordered it off the kids menu for our son, but WOW. Wowwwwww! Maybe the best Mac n cheese I've ever had. It's got whole cheese shavings on top and it's incredible. Would have given 5 stars but the service ain't great. It was actually pretty rough but they were very nice

I went here with my mom and husband a couple weeks ago on a whim, my mom had been before and we were in the area and ready for dinner. The atmosphere wasn't the best I have experienced but it felt artistic and clean. Our service was fairly slow and honestly not what you would expect from a nicer restaurant. However the food... delicious!! I had some of the best scallops I have ever eaten in my life accompanied by tasty and well-prepared risotto and crispy sage which kicked it up even more notches. My husband loved his brisket so much that he was talking about it for a week! It was tender and had a smoked/BBQ flavor without actually having BBQ sauce on it and was served with yummy veggies. My mom got a Cajun seafood-packed entree but I unfortunately didn't get a pic of it though she enjoyed it a lot. Pics below of our two entrees!

I've been to Bistro a few times now, and each visit has been better than the one before. Everything from the food to the atmosphere is very unique for the area. While I hate to be so vague, basically whatever you're hungry for on the menu is going to be excellent. Pro Tip: Be sure to call ahead for a reservation, especially if there is live music in the lounge area!
