"We were in St. Louis for the weekend and I decided to try Five Bistro even though my local friends had never been there. I really enjoyed my experience at Five Bistro. The atmosphere was quiet and it was a great way to spend a date night out. The waitress was fantastic, explained the various menu options, and provided excellent service. I never waited for refills and each course came quickly. The menu is sourced from local farms and they even grow some of their own vegetables. The Caesar salad is quite possibly the best I've ever had and the rabbit saddle was delicious. I would definitely return and recommend this place to others."

"James was excellent as he explained the items on the dinner menu. The food was More than filling when one thinks the servings will be "too" small. Superb and my sister from out of town gave the dinner a two thumbs up."

"Five Bistro is one of my favorite locally owned restaurant's around St. Louis. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Their menu changes every week. They source as much of their food as possible from local farmers. The food is fresh and the chef prepares each dish perfectly. They have a good wine selection also."

"What a wonderful evening. The food and ingredients were inventive. Much of the produce and herbs are grown on the premises and the what isn't is locally sourced.
The wait staff seemed to have a team approach. Our principal waiter James really knew his menu and explained several terms with which we were familiar. But while James revisited us several times the plate service was done by others. Always attentive but never intrusive.
Go with the prixe fix offerings!"

"Five understands how to provide a wonderful meal at a reasonable price. We enjoyed the four course prix-fixe with wine pairings. Each dish was excellent and there was more than enough to eat. I was at Five a few years ago and always wanted to go back. I'm not certain what took me so long but I will definitely be back at Five again soon."

"This is a wonderful restaurant. Have eaten here several times and am never disappointed.
Food is fabulous....beautifully presented and just the right amount.
I love to try the choice of three/four/five courses with wine pairings.
The Tues-Thurs 3 course menu is exceptional value for $25(add $12 for wine pairings)
Service is exceptional always and the restaurant personnel are extremely friendly and welcoming.
This is one of the better restaurants in St Louis...an dining here two more times in the next two weeks and introducing it to friends who enjoy fine dining!"

"What a great experience dining at Five Bistro!
Our waitress worked hard to explain the ordering options and also menu items. The menu is limited only because the ingredients are so seasonably fresh and local -- but the sky is the limit with the ingredients on hand.
We ordered items off the menu and also allowed the chef to "create" a vegetarian dish for us. Everything was mouth-wateringly delicious!
From my one experience, the atmosphere, waitstaff and food are exceptional."

"My husband and I each had a four course prix fixe meal. We ordered different items for each course. Every taste was wonderful, fresh and unique. The wine pairings were well suited. All (except fish) from local gardens and farms. All foods made in house. Just a delight. Thinking of all the people we want to share a meal with at Five Bistro. Our waiter was also wonderful. Very knowledgeable about all the dishes and wines. Attentive without being on top of us. All in all a perfect evening."

"We had a party of six prior to the symphony and the staff did a fabulous job of getting us out on time without feeling rushed. This is one of our favorite places in St. Louis. The food is excellent and there is always something a little different to try. Five doesn't get the attention it deserves. Warm and friendly with first class food and service. A gem."

"The restaurant is very attractive, with soothing decor and interesting, if not original, artwork. The service was very good, while managing to be unobtrusive. We started off with an outstanding drink - a Sidecar - perfectly made and served. Things were spotty after that. We ordered the 4-course, prix fixe dinner, which the server described as having portions similar to those if we ordered a la carte, unlike the 5-course tasing menu. Portions ranged from very small to adequate. Caesar salad was very disappointing; soft shell crab outstanding; lamb had no lamb flavor, but polenta was delicious; and desserts were very good. Price much higher than the food was good."

There's an obvious passion that is demonstrated through menu choices, flavor, and ambience. I also like the intimate location in The Hill neighborhood of St. Louis. Totally a delightful, delicious experience."

Food was fabulous & menu changes daily based on what's available from their providers. Excellent cocktail menu & wine pairings were perfect. Service was impeccable. Absolutely beautiful decor (and I don't typically notice or remark about these details.) dessert was to die for. Highly recommend!"

"Unfortunately we tried this restaurant during restaurant week on the Hill. Usually we view this as a time to try several different items on their menu for a reasonably priced $25 to see if its a place we'll regularly dine but we felt ripped off instead. Although the portions during these events are somewhat smaller than the usual, you are usually full at the end of 3 courses, however not the case here. We barely got the flavor of the dishes in such skimpy portions....2 tiny less than bite sized sweet potato bites under what had to be a half portion of trout finished literally in 5 small bites.....really?! I think it would've really been a good dish! The dessert flavor was detectable in the few bites and delicious, as was the appetizer."

"Our (my wife and I) dinner experience was our first time a Five Bistro - we were not disappointed. I had commented during dinner that I wished we could eat like this for all our dinners (we might have to go up a couple of pants/dress sizes but we'd both be so very happy). Great night, fantastic drinks, delicious food and the best company a guy could ask for (happy anniversary sweetheart)!!!"

"Ambiance was lovely, fresh looking decor. Server was attentive until place got really crowded; a wine pairing for dessert was forgotten until we asked. Food was delicious, particularly the mussels and broth.
We will try again for the special 3 course $25 pre fixe."

"After years of rotating amongst the "best" restaurants in St Louis, my wife and I have come to agree that Five Bistro is the "best". The food is truly great and original, the service in all regards is marvelous, the ambiance is warm, friendly, almost family like, the bartender is creative, helpful, and interesting. I'm not sure about the wine list, because I always have Alysha our great server who really sets the mood and food very well, pick out wine by the glass for me, as my wife doesn't drink wine. She always does a superb job of matching wine with the food I've ordered."

"LOVE Five! We've been several times, and it's been wonderful each time. Their menu changes with the seasons and even weekly I believe, so we look forward to trying something new each visit. Nice wine menu, too. The candlelit tables with white covers make it a romantic spot in the evening, so if you're a couple and can nab a spot for two, it's great for a cozy dinner. We've taken guests, too, and the group has never been disappointed. Our server was Mike this visit, and he was perfect. Can't wait to go back."

"We have been to Five many times and always enjoy it but this last meal was just exceptionally wonderful. We had a guest from the East coast and was blown away by the dinner. This restaurant doesn't get the attention it deserves."

"I have been to Five many times. Chef Devoti continues to impress me with innovative and delicious food. On this last visit I had goose breast for the first time. It was grilled to a perfect consistency and flavor, and was accompanied by portabella mushrooms and a lovely sauce. As an example of his versatility and commitment to accommodate various food preferences, he provided the option of substitutng Cornish Hen with the same accompaniment."

"When we walked into the restaurant we were greeted by name and made to feel welcome. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. We ordered the Chef's Specialty 5 course menu for the evening. Every single thing was scrumptious but our favorite was the trout dish(so yummy) and the apple tart dessert was divine! It was my birthday and my gift to my hubby for Valentines Day. We truly felt like we has celebrated like royalty. Every single detail was taken care of...Thanks for a very lovely and speical evening."
