The takeout food has been great. But we’d forgotten how much the ambience and the service add to that. We were seated early, in a nice corner table. The signature cocktails were delicious. I had the Bistro Daiquiri and she had the Hot Buttered Scotch. When it comes to ordering, we are complicated: my wife is gluten free and I’m dairy free. Our choices from the typically limited Dine Out menu turned out to be fine for each of us. I ordered the calamari appetizer and the faroe island salmon and she had the golden beet salad and the grilled chicken. All 4 items were excellent. Thanks The sauces and seasonings were tasteful, tasty, and the plating made for a pretty picture (it was a date - I didn’t photograph the dishes, as our grown children often do :-). Included in the prix fixe menu were some excellent dessert choices, but we almost never find options we can eat. My wife had the crème brulee and I was offered sorbet. We each truly enjoyed these. And, oh, btw, while we were waiting for our appetizers, the waitperson (who is also the very busy bartender), brought her carrot sticks with a plate of garlicky olive oil with lots of cheese. And I got the dairy-free garlicky evoo with some marvelous brioche.\nService was leisurely for a Dine Out Saturday night, enhancing the experience. All of the waitstaff were friendly and upbeat.

They greeted us with glasses of prosecco and our waitress, Hallie, was a joy (she didn't judge us when we ordered a second plate of foccacia!). The whipped ricotta small plate was so yummy with the foccacia. The steak dish came out perfectly medium rare as ordered. It's rare to find gnocchi on a menu without red sauce and the mushroom medley in this dish was amazing (I have a tomato allergy). We were so stuffed from dinner that we couldn't order dessert. We sat in the side room away from the bar and it was very nice. Great wine list choices and overall a fantastic experience.

The prevalence of what is generously referred to as “Italian American” in the Boston area was discouraging, but Bistro Five is the first place in the Boston suburbs that truly delighted us. The selection of amazing creative cocktails was impressive - Five Old Fashioned was delicious. The appetizers (baked burrata and the beets) were delicious, veal and steak entrees were also savory and fantastic. The crème brûlée was a bit disappointing but I would have liked it before moving to Europe.
