    The escargot was outstanding as well as the L'entrecote Frites. My husband and I shared a bottle of the light and silky Pinot Noir. The surprise birthday dessert for my husband was a nice touch. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and service oriented. We enjoyed this small, quaint restaurant and atmosphere. This was our first but certainly not our last visit to Bistro 555!

    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!
