Admittedly, I have peeked at my phone to identify a menu offering or two, but Registry Bistro rarely disappoints. Our latest visit was for a special Gatsby themed prix fixe menu and it was splendid! Dining room is sleek and elegant, service is always friendly and efficient, and Chef Erika Rapp is a welcoming presence! Highly recommend!

No fault of the staff, I forgot to mention it. We enjoyed the papaya salad and board for 2 and a lovely orange wine. Jess, our server, was great and very busy.

Takes a bit longer than talking to a server, but I guess this keeps menu costs down. I like the ambiance of this place. Leaving the brick walls exposed adds to the allure. Food is good. Not the best BBQ, but it is good. We were there for Father's Day today and the special was $2 ribs & $2 wings. The wings were huge.

The ambiance was welcoming and cozy, and the drinks were great! The band was really amazing...and a sincere & heartfelt thanks goes out to the house band: Andre Wright, Gene Parker and his son Ray. (Special addition Mr. Bobbie Johnston and his family - they provided food, love and hugs) To everyone, YOU ARE APPRECIATED! Thank you Peacock Cafe staff for allowing the space and opportunity to celebrate the life of our dear brother. We sincerely appreciate the warmth and hospitality that I'm sure he would've most certainly been proud of!

I thought this spot was closed. Their Facebook page hasn't been updated since about 2017 and I…read morenever really hear anybody talking about it anymore. This bar has been here probably as long as I've been in Toledo and that's over 15 years. When you walk in you see this beautiful bar made out of wood. I don't know who made it but it is gorgeous. They have a nice selection of alcohol for cocktails and Sutter Home type wine. Even a few craft beers for me. They have special events like jazz on Thursday for free with free appetizers and host comedy events on occasion. Only problem is you have to search it out. They don't do a great job of advertising. Now this place has a reputation of being a primarily black bar but I have seen folks of all ethnicities here and they are welcome. The bartenders are semi-friendly depending who you get. Prices are like you would expect being near downtown. AKA overpriced. But the bathrooms are clean and the atmosphere is nice. Come check it out

Interesting place, hard to put my finger on it…read more Bathroom: *** (okay, bar bathroom) Quality: **** (had the tuna steak, needs to be grilled not flat iron) Quantity: **** Presentation: **** (good plating) Price: $$ (very affordable) Ambiance: Loud/Casual/Busy/crowded Attitude: * (service was very hard to get) Overall: I've tried this place twice. Once on st patty's (great buffet) and this time. The only thing I'll say is that, it's an interesting place, a lot going on, from live band, a lot of seating which makes it both accommodating but very tight to move around, service has been a hit at the busiest and a miss on an average day so, inconsistent. THIS IS A PLACE THAT WILL CHARGE A CC FEE AND NOT LIST OR ITEMIZE IT!!! I absolutely hate that. Quit trying to hide 3-4% just be upfront and clear about it if you're going to do it, especially for disabled, blind etc. this is absolutely something that I will not return for usually-- I got another try still so, we'll see.

I wish they had more canned beverage options but they do have drink specials and a good beer list. Just not what I drink in particular. I don't care for the current food menu as it's mostly fried food. Before they had the best fresh cut thick fries but are currently different. Staff is generally friendlyish.

We came in early enough to get in without cover, but the space is really nice and has pinball machines. I'll have to come back when they have a band on because I bet this place gets packed.

The weather was quite nice Sunday afternoon, so we decided to go and check things out. We ordered a flight of crafted brews: Blimey; Big Fat Boss Baby Mocha; and two Student Body Right and our food choices (limited menu for the soft opening). Because it was so nice out, we decided to occupy one of the tables in the "courtyard" area near the IT5 Food Truck. It did take long and I received a text message indicating our food was ready. We had a Mushroom Swiss Smash Burger w Fries and Chicken Tenders w Cole Slaw. Both food items were very good. The chicken tenders were tender and juicy. The smash burger was done to our liking. Fries were made while we waited. We had been to the Fieldhouse a couple times, but we did not know there was a fire ring set up "in the back 40". Nice touch. Maybe IT5 will utilize some of the additional space out back for more than one food truck? Time will tell...

If it had been there when I was in college we would have been here. Great space inside with an upstairs that seems to get rented out for private parties but no worries because they have an awesome outside patio with cornhole etc outside. Food trucks good selection of beers galore. Along with quick friendly service. I get a wave from most of the bartenders because I been here a time or two. ;). Did I mention they do a lil farmers market thing from 11-3 on Sundays on the patio? I love new places. Eat your heart Earnest Brewery. There's a new sheriff on the south side.
