Definitely Great! – We've been to Bistro 5 many times and have always been overly pleased with our meal. Yes, it is an expensive meal out but we think it's definitely worth it for a treat. They have seasonal menus, so it's always changing but you can't go wrong with any of the beef entrees. The only problem is that they do not take reservations for parties of less than 4 people.

this place gets a '10' rating? – The food was barely OK. The place is kind of cute, but not particularly comfortable. The prices were reasonable, but I ordered a veal dish that was (over-)cooked in a fryolator and was flavorless. My companion was less-than -impressed with their dish, the vegetables were totally limp and generic. Our waitress was excellent.
