    Bistro 555 was fabulous, we had the salmon lunch special and blueberry salad. The ambiance feels like a French bistro although the noise level is higher than I would prefer. I really like this restaurant.

    We had a small team EOY gathering (7) , You are sitting close which makes for great group conversations, loved the food choices, the atmosphere is pretty cozy, no one had a cell phone out, everyone in the restaurant was eating and talking, the facility is not very large, the staff was pleasant. I think we were loud just because we were having such a good time-sharing great stories about life and living. I would recommend for small group, or just a good evening out. I did book in advance, since the facility is quaint and cozy.
