About
Registry Bistro is more than a restaurant — it is the shared dream of mother–daughter duo Vickie and Chef Erika Rapp brought to life. Together, they created a gem in the heart of downtown Toledo, a place where guests can gather, share a meal, and feel genuinely cared for. The atmosphere is refined and welcoming — a reflection of their vision to combine elegance with warmth in every detail.
Set within the historic Secor Building, Registry Bistro carries the character of its timeless architecture while embracing modern elegance. The main dining room, with its soaring ceilings, glowing light, and graceful design, offers an inviting backdrop for both everyday dinners and life’s celebrations.
Chef Erika, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, brings creativity and global inspiration to seasonal menus crafted with local ingredients. Her artistry in the kitchen is beautifully complemented by Vickie’s thoughtful presence and warm hospitality, a balance that gives Registry Bistro its signature sense of elegance and ease. Together, they’ve shaped a dining experience that is both refined and inviting — an expression of culinary passion elevated by the grace of family.
CASUAL | ELEGANT | REGISTRY BISTRO
Our bar extends this experience, offering handcrafted cocktails, curated wines, and artisanal spirits in a space designed for gathering, conversation, and connection.
Beyond the dining room, Registry Bistro is also home to memorable weddings, rehearsal dinners, and private events. With our elegant Secor Ballroom and historic lobby, we provide a backdrop that is both striking and versatile. For smaller occasions, our private dining room offers a refined setting for intimate gatherings, business dinners, or celebrations that call for a more personal touch. Our catering and events team works closely with each client to ensure every detail reflects their vision, creating experiences that are as unique as they are unforgettable.
What makes Registry Bistro truly unique is the warmth of family. Chef Erika’s creativity in the kitchen pairs seamlessly with Vickie’s thoughtful hospitality, creating a dining experience that is sophisticated yet inviting. Whether you’re joining us for a glass of wine, a casual bite, or a leisurely evening with friends, you’ll discover a space shaped by artistry, care, and a genuine love for bringing people together.
