The food was great. It was a good night having dinner at this restaurant. The waiter was very kind and recommended a wine and offered a taste before.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bistro Nota, and I was genuinely impressed from start to finish. The service was warm, attentive, and thoughtful without ever feeling overbearing. The cozy, inviting atmosphere makes it an easy place to relax and enjoy a great meal—perfect for both a casual night out and a special occasion.

The food truly stands out. Bistro Nota takes familiar comfort dishes and elevates them with fresh ingredients, refined technique, and beautiful presentation. Every plate felt both approachable and thoughtfully crafted. It’s the kind of menu that feels comforting but still surprises you in the best way.

Overall, Bistro Nota is a wonderful gem in Fort Wayne. Excellent service, a charming ambiance, and elevated comfort food that hits all the right notes. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

After work, a couple colleagues and I stopped in to have dinner. I ordered the Hot Mess Express and a Blondie for dessert. The food was good but never felt like I was making a dent in it. Service by Haley was good and efficient. We came right before closing so it wasn't busy.

The food was phenomenal! I loved the atmosphere with brick walls and warm orange lighting. Very cozy in the booths and amazing service. We can’t wait to go back for brunch!

Absolutely incredible presentation of takeout food! In town for my son’s soccer tournament and needed more sustenance than pizza with the team. Ordered carry-out as we left the pizza place and picked up on the way back to our hotel. Food was ready very fast for a Saturday night (30ish minutes) and was incredible! We had the petite tenderloin, short ribs, and the blondie. Everything was wonderful and exactly what I was looking for. Will definitely come back if in the area again. My husband also said the restaurant was adorable and the chefs were very friendly.

Best food by far. My husband Had the beef with Baby carrots and fingerling potatoes, I had a Nota salad, The brussels sprout appetizer small plate was amazing, the tuna tart absolutely lovely and delicious. We’ve been here once before, and we will be here until we know everybody’s name! Delightful! A spin per

Excellent experience every time. Some of the best food and service in fort wayne. They do not have a full bar. However, they do have a decent selection of beer and wine. The atmosphere is nice and inviting, and the dishes are all excellent. I like the braised short rib, while my fiance prefers the beef stroganoff. Everything is great, though.

First, service and food quality was very good! Unique menu, not too expensive but also not cheap. A nice place to get together with friends or a special occasion!

We've been wanting to try Bistro Nota for some time but kept forgetting about it. Last night we went and it was amazing. Started with the morel mushrooms that were a special menu item. These are a very unique menu item that you don't see often so we had to try them. Very delicious. Then the Nota salad. Big enough for two which they gladly split. It was cold and crisp. The buttermilk dressing was light but flavorful. We had the beef stroganoff and braised short rib. Both meals were phenomenal. Finished off with the Bistro blondie that lived up to all the hype. Great service in a casual atmosphere with 5-star quality food. We will be back.

We had never been to Bistro Nota before. We were celebrating my birthday and wanted to go somewhere new. The ambiance was great as was the service. We found the food to be lacking. I ordered the Creole Shrimp Pasta. It was extremely salty, could hardly taste the creole spice. My husband had the Beef Stroganoff which was tasteless with bits of beef and beef fat. He described it as beef and noodles in brown gravy. For dessert we had the Bistro Blondie, looks nothing like their picture. The warm toffee sauce surprisingly tasted like sweetened condensed milk, not toffee.
I would not recommend them.
