    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.

    My wife and I had the most outstanding dinner tonight. The service was first class! From the welcome when we arrived to the end of the evening and everything in-between was incredible. Dinner was delicious, our steaks cooked to perfection and everything was delicious. We look forward to a repeat soon! Highly recommended!!

    Love this place, it’s inviting and comfortable, with very friendly and prompt waitstaff, the food is always excellent and service is great, you can either cook your own food right at the table on the hibachi or they will prepare it for you in the kitchen. The menu is extensive and has a huge appetizer menu and freshly made sushi. The server can help you pick out your meat selections and sides, and everything comes to the table nicely prepared. A great place to go with friends and family for dinner or a birthday celebration!!
