One Eleven Bistro - Medina

My wife and I visited for the first time on a Saturday evening. We were attracted by a special menu run in conjunction with a local restaurant group.Cudos to our server, a pleasant little southern belle by the name of Angela. She was very busy with tables spread out between the main dining area, a larger party room and the patio. Running around like a puppy chasing its tail she managed to keep up with all of her tables admirably. She answered all of our questions in good time. I will make sure to ask for her ifwhen we visit again. The food was mostly very good to excellent. I had the Crawfish Poutine, a tasso gravy loaded with crawfish and andouille and crispy edged sunny side up eggs over nice crispy fries. My wife started with the butternut squash soup and followed with the salmon over leekonion grits. The soup was a little spicy but very tasty. The ice creams were house made and very tasty. I would only have a few criticisms to offer. If you are going to call something a wedge salad it should be an iceberg wedge, not a chunk of bibb lettuce. It should also have grape tomatoes and the balsamic glaze. The brussels sprouts we ordered were tasty but woefully under cooked, almost impossible to chew. One other thing: The noise level in the room was ridiculous. We had a hard time conversing across the table. They would benefit from some sound absorbing materials lower on the walls to cut down on the ambient volume. Based on the food and service alone I would give the restaurant a to a The sound detracted mightily from the experience hence the star rating

Everybody in the group enjoyed the food. Service was very good. Only negative was the noise level in the back dining room

This place is a rare find and we love to come here. I normally get the beef short rib, which is fabulous, but had the chicken roulade this time. The chicken was very tender and flavorful. My margarita was superb as well

We were dining with my elderly father who is wheel chair bound. Our server was amazing with him. He is very high maintenance, but equally as charming. She spent time with him, listening to him and trying to accommodate his specific pallet. The tomato basil soup was a major hit with him and we will certainly return again. We have previously enjoyed Brunch at Bistro and found it equally as delicious, with great service. If you haven't already.............check it out! You'll be back

Consistent which is the key to us returning over and over again
