What an awesome local restaurant. Amazing food, incredible service, and the staff were incredibly accommodating. My family and I wanted an actual meal after being hunkered down for a week during the hurricane. I could not speak more highly of the food and staff, and one of the owners, Paulette, is one of the most amazing humans I've ever known. Come give Bistro 55 a shot! You won't regret it.

Wonderful atmosphere, excellent service, and Paulette is a beautiful and kind soul! My ribeye steak was a little tough and my husband’s potatoes were a little overcooked but the filet he had was delicious as were the carrots. They welcomed us for our anniversary and even gave us a special desert, upon finding out I couldn’t have wheat they prepared me another desert with ice cream and berries. If you’re looking for a quiet, romantic atmosphere with great service, try Bistro 55!

Honestly, the food was exquisite. Every plate was just as delicious as the last, including desserts and drinks. The atmosphere is tranquil and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. It specially shows the most at dawn/night. The service was top-notch. I did make a reservation but luckily for us, it was a slow night, which we loved. Parking is limited, so do plan on walking a bit. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a good atmosphere, nice esthetics, and amazing food!

French food from owners from Paris, France! The wine list is full of Fench wines, traditional French sauces on the food, and wonder baguettes served at the beginning. We were excitedly welcomed into the restaurant and served warm baguettes with salty rich butter. The cocktails were well balanced and tasty. The special pistachio crusted halibut was so melt in your mouth that it was like cotton candy. The steak was cooked to perfection and required almost no chewing it was so tender. The espresso martinis were the best we've ever had, and the cheesecake perfection! Needless to say, we'll be back and you should go now! One of the best restaurants in the CSRA, HANDS DOWN! UPDATE: Just went to their Moroccan theme night. My husband and I were immediately brought back to the meals we had while deployed/stationed in the Middle East/North Africa area. Plus, the mint tea at the end just was icing on the night!

I went to Bistro with my girlfriend for a prom dinner and it was a delightful experience. I had the grilled salmon and I will deffiently be getting it again, I was a perfect blend of sweet and salty. Along with the salmon me and my girlfriend shared a creme brulee and it was absolutely delightful. The experience was also wonderful, the servers brought out our food quick and constantly checked on us. There was a French atmosphere in the restaurant, playing music, French decor etc. Which really enhanced the experience also. Bistro won my heart and it probably will wins yours too, give it a try if you want perfect fine dinning.

I've been here a few times and have come to love this restaurant. This particular night I started with the escargot which were small and I had a spot of trouble get getting a couple out. The server was very helpful and fetched me a wooden hors d'oeuvre pick to fish them out. Success! For the entree I had Canard a L’orange. The duck was good but.....can't quite put my finger on it. I think I need to give this dish another go. The food here is exceptional and the Old Fashions are to die for. This place is a must for any occasion, it's not loud, staff are wonderful and attentive and the vibe is warm. I would love to see a Beef Wellie on the menu. I'll keep you posted.

Bistro 55 provides an inviting French bistro atmosphere. During a last-minute search for a Valentine’s Day celebration, we were fortunate to encounter Ms. Paulette, the proprietor, who graciously welcomed us and guided us to our table. Initially apprehensive, our son ultimately savored the salad, duck, and cheesecake. The attentive staff and exquisite cuisine contributed to an unforgettable evening. We can’t wait to go back to try more dishes. Ms. Paulette, we will be back for more. Thank you to you and your staff for an amazing evening.

All I can say is WOW!!! The atmosphere was so charming! The staff were so welcoming, especially our server Emily! She was phenomenal! They initially serve you with fresh bread with butter and chicken liver pate (DELISH), we began with the charcuterie board, our main course was the duck and the shrimp/scallop risotto (both were so good we shared with each other), and we ended with creme brulee and their chocolate souffle. And HOLY SMOKES! That souffle was TO DIE FOR!
