Diso’s Bistro

Excellent food! We’ve never noticed the place it’s so inconspicuous but glad s friend told us it is there! Lots of delicious dinners, knowledgeable wait staff & great dining experience! 6 of us so tried 6 different meals, all great! Plating presentation quite messy but quality of food made up for it!
A bit too dark inside to read menus but it was a great evening! Will return!

It’s become not only a staple reason to live in Lorain, it’s become legendary! A must-​do in Lorain!

Seriously, this place really good. Been here many times and have not been disappointed yet. It is more pricey than your typical chain places, but the quality and taste of the food is well worth it. I will return here frequently.

Been here multiple time, must have gotten a new menu, not many choices and steak, veg, and potato all taste the same like it was cooked in one pan. Very disappointed.

Place is very small. They did not have any seats available and couldn’t even tell us how long was the wait. Very disappointing

We are frequents fliers here. In my opinion, there is NO better food and service combo in Northern Ohio. I’d go with the Filet. Also try the Meatloaf when they have it (it is based with ground filet).
Mark and the staff demonstrate perhaps the MOST important duty of a server/​tender, they don’t rush you! In fact, plan on spending 2 hours here. I recommend sitting at the bar and shooting the breeze with Mark, staff, or other patrons.
This is a true Hidden Gem in Northern Ohio.

The most amazing food ! We have had filet in many restaurants and this is by far the best ever! The price is great!!! We love diso!

I’m from the Lorain area and lived in Austin, Tx the past 6 years so I’m always bragging to my family about the amazing food there. My sister is always talking about this Diso’s place and that it’s her favorite. Of course I don’t believe her that it’s «that good!» So I came home a few weeks ago and we went… No joke, 1 of my top 3 all time favorite meals! Everything was amazing. I loved that each dish was carefully thought out, it’s not your typical restaurant where you pick side dishes. They do the entire plate so it all compliments each other. It’s a bit pricey but nothing outrageous. Seriously, do yourself a favor and check it out, give yourself plenty of time as they like to take their time and make it more of an evening experience than just grab a quick dinner and head out. (alcohol, apps, main meal and desert for 4 we were there 2 hours) You may also want to call ahead to check how busy it is. It’s a pretty small place so you may be waiting awhile. Happy eating!

The food is excellent, romantic ambience, the perfect place to go with the one you love. Excellent customer service, very pleased.

What an incredible surprise. We stayed at a nearby B and B and heard about this place while having a drink at another establishment. It isn’t much to look at from the outside but upon entering you are greeted by the smell of grilling steaks that will make a vegans mouth water. We decided to sit at the bar rather than wait on a table. The slow bar service is the only thing that prevented this being a 5 star experience. Not terrible, just not 5 star attentiveness. We had planned to order the scallops but after asking for a recommendation we ordered the potato skins. Superb choice not to be missed. Our salads were good and fresh but what really matters is the main course. We both went with the filets and they were incredibly good. Also, very reasonably priced. By all means, if in the area eat here. If you aren’t in the area, it’s worth the trip!

My wife and I go about every 6 weeks for the last 3 years.
The fillet is absolutely the best!
You need to call for reservations though regardless of the day. We love the atmosphere and that fact that it’s like a little secret.
No one really knows about it and Mark has built such a great business that the slow growth and regulars always have it busy.

This place is out of the way for a traveler but you’ll be impressed when you make your way here. Great value priced cuisine is sure to please your wallet and delight your tastebuds. I am usually alone while traveling for work, the staff and locals welcomed me immediately upon sitting down at the bar.

Wow. This is a real gem. The good is great and the atmosphere is truly exceptional — especially if you sit in the bar area. Friendly vibe. You’d feel right at home coming here frequently. And the food is so good. After I brought my Mom here, she liked it so much, she wanted to come back the very next night.

Everything was Awesome. The food, service and atmosphere were just perfect — we couldn’t have had a better experience. Our new favorite restaurant!

This was an awesome meal. One of the best hangar steaks I’ve had in a awhile. The herb butter was a perfect touch and the fingerling potatoes were nice and crisp.
Just a heads up, the place will strike you as a dive when you first get here but the food is anything but.

What the… who else knew this was here?! This place is so well hidden it should be named «Where’s Waldo?» instead. The only reason I even found this place was because of digging through Lorain’s Unilocal options. If I’d driven past it I would have never guessed that it was a restaurant.
But wow. What a great stop! Both me and my dining partner were very happy with our experience at Diso’s. The service was great, the beer list was fantastic, and the food was beautiful and tasty!
The interior is charming, classical and semi-​dark. The bar inside looks very nice, though we sat at a table instead of at it.
I had the salmon and my Dad had the ‘cut to order’ fillet. Both dishes were amazing and so yummy. The –only– thing that I would say is that the salt level needs to be brought down by a good amount. If you’re at all sensitive to salt (personal preference/​blood pressure problems) then make sure to request low salt in your food!
All in all I would absolutely go back. Absolutely.

This was the first time we had been to Diso’s and can say with absolute certainty we will be back. It has this great atmosphere, great service, and out of this world food.
We had the potato skins which are unlike any type of potato skins anywhere else. They bring skins to a whole new level. The homemade bread with the pesto was outstanding. And don’t even get me started on the filet! Not only is it cut fresh to size but it was the most tender and flavorful piece of steak I have ever had. Cooked absolutely perfect. My mouth waters for more just typing this!
If you’re looking for a good meal, or a date night, or just somewhere you have never been I recommend Diso’s. It is a bit pricey but you get what you pay for all around so it’s worth every single penny!

This is a place you would never find on your own. You definitely need to know someone who has visited before or you would spend a lot of time driving around looking for the restaurant (it’s next to an abandoned sweepstakes building). Boy oh Boy though, when you get to eat it is fantastic!
This is a neighborhood place and a very welcoming one. The inside of this restaurant is dimly lit and has an intimate feel. The owner is usually behind the bar and he is wonderful to chat with and he has so much personality.
My boyfriend is a regular and we went for a light dinner and wine. We both ordered the specialty flat bread of the day which was shrimp and pesto. It was wonderful and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. In my opinion the flat bread is large enough for two people to share.
I need to go back soon because their desserts looked phenomenal but I just did not have enough room in my stomach to try any that night.

Never disappointed! Always great, attentive service, amazing food and Delish drinks! What more can I say? An all around great experience.

The nicest restaurant in Lorain hands down. Great ambiance and cozy atmosphere. The flat bread with pesto is a great treat before you get your meal. I had the filet mignon and it was really good. Cooked perfectly! Another favorite was the pork chops. The salmon dish was so-​so. With my filet dinner I only wished it would have been served with mashed potatoes instead of seasoned cut potatoes.
The food was very good, and the service was okay. Our server never filled up our waters and we waited a long time to get our check. Once we got our check we were ready to go and had to wait awhile for it to be taken. For being a fancy, pricey place, I would expect the service to be better. Overall, a good experience with a great dinner. A nice spot to go for a special occasion.
