Salvis Bistro

My family and I dined at Salvi's for mother's day and we were greatly disappointed. My mother used to be GM of the Hilliard Salvi's and kept it running smoothly and cleanly for that matter. We expected the Dublin establishment to be of the same standard. It was not. The food was good, but food is only half the battle. The building was hard to find to begin with. Upon entering, we were greeted by the manager who wore a camouflage miniskirt with a matching sweat jacket. A fashion issue in the least, but certainly not acceptable attire for a manager. The restrooms were unusually dirty, possibly because of the mother's day rush, but nonetheless. Food wasn't bad, a little chilled, but not bad. But after we received our check, the busser came out in an Ohio State hat and jeans. Long story short, we were greatly disappointed. Presentation is key. more

The good things. . . the atmosphere is pleasant and the menu has many selections I reviewed the menu in advance on-line and I was tempted by the many choices. There aren't many restaurants in the area that serve escargot so I was anxious to order that. Huge disappointment! Escargot was drowned in sauce. To be fair, the menu says the escargot is served with sauce, but the escargot was swimming in a soup of sauce. I also ordered the bruschetta. It was covered by a heavy coating of cheese -- underneath all that cheese the bruschetta was good. The wedding soup was okay, but was served cold. The waiter cheerfully had the soup re-heated. In general, the restaurant serves food with heavy sauces and cheeses. I was really grossed out by the heaviness of the food. All in all, a huge disappointment.. more

We are open and we had a mega opening on Nov 5. more

This restaurant is delightful! I have been numerous times and every time it gets better! The decor is very ""cozy cabin"" with all leather, wood and stone and the lighting is beautifully romantic! The service staff is very knowledgeable about the menu and very prompt. We arrived early for our ""preferred seating"" and only had about a ten minute wait! (Which was amazing considering the whole place was packed!) The wine list is phenomenal and priced accordingly. Our food was on time and perfect every time! (I would highly suggest the medallions oscar (normal) with b?arnaise!) If you go be sure to bring your appetite as the side dishes here are generously portioned! Not only do they have the best steaks in Dublin, but the seafood is great too! They even serve vegetarian dishes if requested! HOW AMAZING! I will continue to go back! Pros: The best and most unique filet preparation! more

If you are running a steak house, that is the food that must shine. Unfortunately, that is not the case here. When I ordered my steak, I asked if they were prime cuts, and nobody could answer. They then sent out the Maitre d, who didnt even know the difference between select, choice, and prime cuts...EVEN AFTER GOING TO THE KITCHEN! The best non relevant answer I ever got, was that they were ""USDA"" steaks...duh! Pros: Good wine list, great service Cons: dark, over-priced, unknowledgeable more

My wife and I tried Stoney River for a special ocasion after a couple recommendations from coworkers. Pros: Access Cons: Food more

My first two visits to this restaurant have been nothing short of outstanding. I enjoyed the atmosphere, the welcoming nature of all the staff and a meal that was outstanding. The strip was as good as I have ever had and the Chocolate Cake is amazing. This is my new favorite restaurant in Dublin...and everywhere else they have a location. Pros: Flavorful food and friendly staff Cons: A bit of a wait, but they'll take call-aheads more
