   Food was good. Would have liked a little more salt. Presentation of food was on point. The chocolate fondant was underwhelming - felt like a microwavable frozen dessert.

   This was our first visit to Bistro 555. It did not disappoint! Bistro 555 is very cozy. Small tables in a small space but we did not feel crowded or cramped. The food was delicious! We started with the mushroom soup and French onion soup. Both were fantastic. My husband had the ribeye for his main course and said it was perfectly seasoned and the French fries were amazing. I had the beef Borguignonne, the meat was tender and the veggies were perfect. Be sure to save room for dessert! We shared the profiteroles and had coffee. It was the perfect ending to the meal. Looking forward to our next visit already.

   What a fantastic local restaurant. The food is amazing, the staff is lovely, and the restaurant is a gem. Make sure you have a reservation, if you don't you'll have to sit outside (good luck with that in Houston in June). All three phases of my meal were wonderful. Starter of escargot, main of Cassoulet, dessert of apple tart. All were amazing. If I could, I'd go there every week.

   Always excellent food and excellent service. Small venue, and we were seated next to a boisterous (loud) table of 6. Otherwise, excellent as always.

   This is a little better than similar establishments nearby, but given its roots in Le Mistral and Café Rabelais, one expects more. The food is just okay, and the quality of service exceeded the quality of the food and the ambiance. In my opinion, it’s overpriced for what it is, and the food preparation needs more attention. Apparently the local regulars are satisfied as is, so there is little incentive to do better.

   WEnt to Bistro for a Saturday "date night" since they didn't have a Father's Day special... But as usual, service was excellent, food quality and presentation were fine. The Duck rillettes appetizer was most notable! My duck confit was moist and well seasoned. The trout almondine on Saffron was excellent. We both had the raspberry tart for dessert and it did not disappoint. Ambience was excellent with very tolerable noise level. We will be back!

    We are long time customers back to the original Bistro and we introduced another couple new to the neighborhood for dinner. We all ordered the salmon and it was perfectly cooked and accompanied. They have achieved a great level of high quality, flavor, service and consistency with the food. Reservations are recommended.

    Worth the visit but will not be a regular dinner spot. Service was delightful, food not as memorable with exception of the mussels. The Boeuf A La Bourguignonne was not flavorful which was a surprise, and the snapper bottom was tough. The asparagus on all dishes was outstanding. Wine menu extensive.

    The menu conversion is now fully completed (until the next one) and the crowds tell you that it has been a roaring success. The wine list is fairly priced and goes well with the food. This place seems to be realizing its neighborhood potential as a local gathering place and that is really nice to see. Service is a little inexperienced but learning quickly and doing so with great effort and a smile. We look forward to returning.

    Wow, very impressive. There were four of us - had the Sancerre wine with our meal. Our food was the onion soup, the mushroom soup - both outstanding - the foie gras - wonderful - and the Le Mistral salad - all for starters. Two of us had the trout - oh my - delicious - and the other two persons had the mussels and the duck confit, respectively - very, very good also. We shared the raspberry dessert - very pretty and quite good. We will be going back to Bistro555 to try other things; it was hard to make a selection because the menu looked very inviting!

    Bistro 555 has changed, it seems, since it was called Bistro Provence. I had the Duck Cassoulet and onion soup. The soup seemed to me to be overly sweet and the cheese on top had very little flavor. Not the nice bite of good gruyere cheese The duck with white beans, sausage and pork belly reminded me of dry van de camps pork and beans with chicken and sausage. Guess I was expecting something lighter, less dense. The beans totally overpowered the duck. It was our anniversary and I was disappointed. My wife had the snapper and she thoroughly enjoyed her meal. The saffron rice was very good.

    We spent a wonderful Mother's Day lunch at Bistro555! We were promptly seated at our noon reservation. The "prix fixe " menu turned out to be perfect! The "salmon amuse bouche was flavorful and seasoned just right. The pea soup veloute with bacon bits and a hint of got cheese was so smooth and tasty. My spouse had the Snapper and I had the tenderloin. I asked for it rare, and got exactly what I wanted. The sauce, asparagus and puff potatoes were a very nice combination. The red snapper also got rave reviews. Wine by the glass selection was fine and was a nice serving. All of this finished off with a nice dessert that wasn't too heavy. In my opinion, the portions were just right and prices reasonable. I also need to commend our waiter who was attentive and very responsive to our requests. I noted he spoke french and perfect english. All in all a memorable experience for us.
