Five BistroOne of my best meals ever!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.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMOur favorite restaurantThis is the place to have excellent locally produced food, imaginatively prepared, good wine, and an atmosphere where you can talk with your dinner partner(s) and not have to shout.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMpre-symphony dinnerWe 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.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMThe restaurant is very attractive,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.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent food. Great service.Excellent food. Great service. Strong wine list.

Almost all of the food is locally sourced and the menu changes daily based on what is available.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMFour courses of fantastic!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)!!!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMLocavore HeavenI loved Five Bistro because of the chef's philosophy behind the food. This is a locavore's heaven. And the staff is as knowledgeable about the food as the chef is. 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.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMAfter years of rotating amongstAfter 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.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was a very pleasant experience.It was a very pleasant experience. I truly enjoyed the fact that everthing is fresh and bought from local farmers. I would definelty recommend and looking forward to a return visit.4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMLOVE Five! We've been severalLOVE 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.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMOne of our favorite St. LouisOne of our favorite St. Louis restaurants
