    This was our first time dining here. 4 of us met for brunch. The service was excellent as was the food. Varied menu let those who are weight conscious have healthy options . I had eggs Benedict with avacado. Other diners had french toast. Order of truffle fries for table. Everything was delicious. We want to try dinner next. We think we found a new favorite.

    The food was delicious as I came for brunch and got the huevos rancheros. It was tasty but was missing some sauce to top it off for my liking, so I asked for aioli. For my drink I got a pineapple mimosa and it was good besides the actual pineapple that was garnished. The overall experience was great and it wasn’t too loud as I can hear our conversations and the service was great as well.

    We had a great time Bistro5 on Valentine’s Day. As expected they were packed so and everyone was working hard, great vibes. Service was friendly and courteous. We went for the special tasting menu with wine pairings. There were two choices for each course so we had one of each and everything was excellent. This is one of few places I’ve been that I would be comfortable putting myself in the chef’s hands.
