Went here for rest week - Winter as I thought the menu looked great & I was not disappointed. We were pleasantly surprised at how romantic & intimate the interior is compared to ...

Worst

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...

Great Evening... 6/8/2003

Despite pouring rain, daunting steps for my wheel chair, and the ""Fryolator"" remark in the previous review, my wife and I and our friends, decided to try Bistro 5 on Saturday evening. The food was outstanding with perfect timing to the serving of the dishes. Each of the appetizers was shared and pronounced delightful. The Salmon was flawlessly flavorful and moist with black sesame seeds and vegetables complimenting the fish perfectly. The Roasted Lamb was tender and delicious.. The infamous Veal Milanese bread/pistashio coating was crisp, and flavorful encasing tender veal placed on garlic mashed potatoes that worked very well. My wife did not share her scallops and her dish was all but licked clean. The wine list was good and reasonably priced. A patron helped our waiter, Angus, carry me down the steps in plenty of time to get to the theater. I'd heartily recommend Bistro 5 to anyone. Pros: Fresh Tasting Food, Creative Menu, Great Atmosphere Cons: Parking, NOT handicap friendly more

this place gets a '10' rating? 3/23/2003

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. Pros: service, locale Cons: nothing special, overrated, use better oil to fry more
