  OMG - what an amazing little Mom & Pop place! My wife and I stopped by for lunch, and talked to the owner about the origin of their super unique dishes (Hawaii especially).  Not what you would expect in an Akron tavern style bistro.
  
  The menu was incredible - I would highly recommend the Grilled Cheese #1, with salmon, brie, avocado, and artichoke hearts.  OMFG, it was amazing, and at the price, a steal.  My wife had the chicken fingers with the Island sauce - a must have.  We wanted to lick the plate.
  
  Two lunches, two adult beverages, and desert for $43.00 - are you kidding me?
  
  We will be back, for sure.

  Ahi-MAZING. If food is your love language, go here because it is obviously theirs. The ahi nachos were perfect. The shark special was spot on.
  
  What I find even more important was that kindness overflowed to our 3 year old, who was a tad bit loud. Two Hawain Punch pickles later, and she had made best friends with the chef. Who treated her as if she was as important to him as any other customer. Thank you. Will return as soon and as many times as possible.

  A unexpectedly great visit to Bistro 93. I had never been and we were thinking of getting burgers. What we ended up ordering was sooo much better. We will be back and highly recommend a visit.
  
  Restaurant is also very near the terminus of the bike path!

  A top notch, locally owned, gastropub.
  
  Whether it was the wings, scallops, or ribs, everything exceeded our expectations. And the service was superb. The owners are veterans of Buffalo's restaurant scene. If you probe them about the menu, you'll quickly realize they know their sh*t.
  
  They take dietary restrictions seriously which was great for me (I'm gluten free). The wings and fries are cooked in a dedicated gluten free fryer.
  
  The highlight: fall off the bone ribs, BBQ sauce, and personalized service

  I'm not sure whether we would have found Bistro 93 if a passerby hadn't stopped us to ask for direction to this eatery.  To that passerby, I would always be grateful.
  
  Bistro 93 is located "off the beaten path", in the middle of a residential area instead of a commercial district.  Even its outside appearance at a glance gives off the vibe of being someone's home  However, a step into the building immediately tells a different story.  Inside, Bistro 93 is warm, a bit rustic, unpretentious, and welcoming.  Most of the indoor tables are designed for small parties.  Outdoor seating is also available out on the patio, but I have not checked it out.
  
  During both our visits to Bistro 93, there were only two people managing the front as hosts, server, bartender, and cashier.  While at one point things seemed to get a tad hectic for our hosts, at no point at all did we feel rushed or not taken care of.  On both occasions, our foods and drinks were delivered timely, and we were given full service as if we had been the only people in the entire restaurant.
  
  Now to the food.  Wow.  I have been to fancy restaurants whose dishes pale to the dishes that the chef of Bistro 93 produces.  On our first visit, we ordered two bowls of seafood chowder, plus the following dishes to share: a scallop ceviche, the ahi tuna, and a charcuterie board.  The seafood chowder was a tad saltier and thinner than I had expected, but it was tasty and generous with seafood chunks.  The scallop ceviche was fresh and was gone within seconds of arriving at the table.  The ahi tuna was our favorite; it was fresh, with a nice accompaniment of ginger and garlic and basil with every bite.  We also could not believe how big the portion was, especially considering it was part of the so-called "Small Plate".  The charcuterie board was very generous, again, particularly considering it's part of the so-called "Small Plate".  The cheeses were of good quality and very tasty, and the board was also served with jam, dried apricot, and pickled peppers.  I ended up taking half of the  charcuterie board home for next day's lunch.
  
  On the next visit to Bistro 93, as tempted as I was by other items on the menu, I ended up ordering the ahi tuna for my dinner (also ordering only one dish, as I still remembered how big the portion had been).  It was as good as I had remembered it, though the wasabi was a tad spicier than last time.  My husband opted for the jambalaya, which came in a large steaming bowl (it was then that we realized why the ahi tuna was considered a "Small Plate").  He claimed that the jambalaya was quite good and spicy, but as the portion was so large, he could not finish it in one sitting.
  
  Overall, we gave Bistro 93 a solid thumbs up.  We will definitely return.
  
  PS if you plan to visit in the height of summer:  This place does not seem to have any AC and is ventilated by ceiling fans only.
