Bistro 70, Painesville, OH

Although I live in Dearborn, MI, I still own a home in Painesville, OH.  I only lived in it for 2 1/2 years, but I loved living there.  One of the perks was being just up the road from one of my favorite spots: Bistro 70.I had become friends with Keith, the owner and head chef through frequent visits.  For a while, I even served on the wait staff there.  I had also introduced my family, now weekly regulars, to the Bistro.Keith changes the menu up regularly (quarterly or so?), but there are always great options!  So, frequently, I am unable to decide exactly what I want, and ask the servers to choose for me.  I'll usually give them 2-3 options that I'm considering, and have them surprise me with their choice.  Over the years, I've had nightly specials - seafood, steak, and other delicious recipes Keith and his staff whip up.I've also had wonderful dishes off the standard menu.  Some favorites: Seared Ahi Tuna Steak, Fettucini Rustica, Grilled Flat Iron Steak, and Maryland Crab Cakes.There are others that are not on the current menu: some Asian fare, other pasta dishes, as well as more seafood.  And, don't pass up the desserts!  They're divine!And, I can't lie...my friends and I have spent many a night hanging at the bar with Joe, the greatest bartender!In fact, I had my farewell party here when I left OH for CA.  Good times!And, happy anniversary Keith and company!  Eight years, this week!  :-)
