    We really enjoyed our dining experience at this cozy restaurant. The food was outstanding. Try the butternut squash soup. Also, the servers were very attentive throughout the evening. I highly recommend the Bistro 555!

    Made reservation specifically asking for a table by the window. Unfortunately, we were delayed because of a wreck on the freeway, and I called to let them know that we were going to be late. When we arrive not only was our table taken, but the only table that was available was a table by the front door and every time the door opened a gust of wind would just come blowing to our table. Very uncomfortable I asked to be seated at an empty table close to us and she told me that table was taken! The part I ordered was an edible, and by the way, when we left, the table was never occupied! We go there quite often and one would think they would take care of their regular guest Better than that!

    What we always ask each other is, Would you eat it again? And, Would you come back again? The answer to both Questions is a resounding Yes and absolutely Yes.
