Bistro 217

We came based on the reviews - drove far to get hereHad spinach artichoke dip, taco salad, chipotles chicken. Everything was good, but just ok good. If you are coming here expecting a Bistro, it isn't. If you are coming here expecting a diner- then it's pretty good. They had ONE guy seating people and waiting on the entire restaurant. He did it with a smile and did a decent job since he was alone.

Excellent food and service. Very friendly staff. It's definitely a highlight of Galion. The chicken sandwich was phenomenal! Can't wait to go back!

WOW......excellence all around from the moment we walked in the door! Such a cute little place with the best service from our waiter (Bryce) and delicious food. This place is AAhhhh-ma-zing

Went there recently for the first time in years. Started out a little odd, a waitress came over and took our drink order and then suddenly switched tables after saying she'd be our waitress. The guy that took over was nice and did a good job. The food came out timely and fresh. I don't remember the burgers being as flavorful as there were this time. Not greasy, just fresh and tasty

Amazing food! Great, friendly staff. You can order anything from paninis, burgers to pasta.

Excellent atmosphere! The prices are great and the food was pretty good with the exception of the bow tie Mac and cheese and margarita panini. Mac and cheese was REALLY over cooked and mush, so that got wasted. The flavor was definitely there though. My daughter said her margarita sandwich was "the most boring sandwich" she had ever eaten so I wouldn't recommend that. She ate less than half of it and the rest went in the trash. It had one small piece of tomato and one piece of basil on one half of the sandwich. The rest was cheese. The bruschetta came out as a bowl of tomatoes, zero cheese, and grilled bread. Albeit the menu said it had cheese, I had to ask for it. I also asked for balsamic vinegar, a staple ingredient for good bruschetta. Once we added those ingredients, it wasn't too bad. Panini sandwiches were pretty good size, and big enough to share. My husband loved the Italian panini. The fried mozzarella was also good. The sauce was perfect. And fresh cut fries... can't go wrong there. The chocolate mousse cake was delicious!!!Very nice to see a good and fresh place to eat in Galion Ohio despite the few hiccups we had. This one should be around for a while, so long as the dishes arrive to tables as advertised on the menu. (The kids meal said it came with applesauce, but we never received any applesauce.)Very cute inside though. It felt clean and fresh. I do feel I overpaid a bit seeing some food was tossed and one item wasn't received. But.... lesson learned. My husband will eat the Italian panini if we ever returned when visiting family in the future.I give four stars for a clean place to eat, and fresh tasting ingredients. If I had to rate the experience overall including feeling like I overpaid for two items... I'd give it a three. Those things separate an average place from an excellent one.

A local business that is doing it right! Catering availability and they are so nice and accommodating. Treat yourself and your tummy and support a local restaurant

Pretty mediocre food, but nice dining experience. The service was great! Ambiance was also nice, with original architecture and wood floors

Our neighbors have always sworn by Bistro 217 and their wraps and salads. While you should expect a longer ticket time, the dining room is always busy with a consistent quality in all meal categories. Company is ran by a fantastic family and I will continue bringing people here.

Amazing Love it!!! The pasta is soooo good. You have to get the cheese fondue. That's the number one reason I go!!!
