Filet with French fries. I'd prefer another choice for the starch. The fries were skinny and lost their heat quickly.

Nice restaurant. Limited parking so use Uber or Lyft and you get a free glass of. Champagne. Service was excellent. Food was good but not exceptional. Steak entrecôte (hanger steak) was tough (not tender). Mussels were good but very small. No standard lettuce salad (e.g. romaine and iceberg).

This restaurant is fabulous!! The food, service, wine selection & ambience is excellent!!! No complaints after at least a dozen visits over the past 3 years. Very romantic for date night & perfect for a lunch date with your bestie.

Good attempt at making a quite authentic French Bistro atmosphere. Good wine list. Carpaccio was nice but why served with Italian Parmesan when there are so many great French cheeses??? Pickles were light and perfect for me. Lobster pot pie a bit disappointing. More like a thin bisque with a few pieces of overcooked lobster. Nice presentation with shaped puff pastry. Profiteroles were certainly meant to share! However, not classical and from the freezer I believe. Service was OK but not outstanding. Quite a way for us, so not inclined to re visit.

We knew from past experience that the food was worth having outdoor seating as Bistro is humming with customers on a Friday evening. The food did not disappoint. My wife enjoyed a tasty salad (did say that perhaps it had a bit too much dressing, but that's a nit) followed by a hearty offering of mussels and fries. My onion soup was scrumptious. The red snapper (with fennel serving as a base) was very good. Perhaps I've gotten too used to mesquite grilled seafood as I thought it could have had a bit more flavor. Outstanding friendly and attentive service.

The food was delicious, definitely worth going and definitely worth going again. The chicken entree was delicious, one of the best dishes I’ve had in a while. If the onion soup was put in the oven and heated up to a Hell level temperature it would have been perfect, and the profiteroles have a rich dark chocolate that was great.

The restaurant is small and intimate with a great atmosphere. The staff were all attentive and friendly. The real standout is the food - everything we ordered was really awesome. The escargots, the table bread (!!!), the salads, the lobster pie, the trout, the steak au poivre, the desserts - everything was spot on and perfectly prepared and presented. They have a very nice wine list too - a nice selection of wines by the glass and many wines by the bottle.

Totally reliving our summer trip to Provence at Bistro 555. We both subscribe to Date Your Spouse, a Christian app that is awesome and fun, and our most recent date challenge was to go on Trip Advisor and play restaurant roulette. So we did and we found this hidden gem.

Ravioli was amazing! Husband’s ribeye was good (it truly was, but we both admit this was the best). Bread course appetizer yum. The wine list is totally approved. And YESSS to the pistachio ice cream. Also husband says it’s the best cup of coffee he has had since France. Next time I’m getting the chicken fricassee.

So yummy. Highly recommend. And shout out to Yirla ❤️

From the reasonably priced wine selections to perfectly plated entrees, this intimate bistro is a winner! The escargot, onion soup, moules marniere and beef filet were great choices for our party of three. We ended by sharing a creme brûlée that is the finest I've had in Houston. Loved this little gem when it was on Dairy Ashford & will certainly be booking the new location in Bellaire. If you appreciate fine French food and excellent service, GO!!

The muscles are absolutely amazing, the ambience is fantastic, and the service is always the friendliest. This is a tremendously local, neighborhood French bistro that looks and feels like you're in Europe. Perfect for a great date night or just an incredible dinner.

This place is a hidden gem! Service was excellent, all food was very good, except dessert. We ordered profiteroles and I expected they will be original french style ones, but they stuffed them with ICECREAM!! Why would you do this? French would laugh out loud if they saw it. It is so easy to make a good vanilla custard and make it perfect, because profiteroles by themselves seemed pretty good. I also expected that after amount of food and drinks we ordered and money we spent, they would give us dessert as a gift and put some candle in it, since I mentioned in my booking that we celebrated my husband's birthday.

First time, very quaint spot. Not a lot of parking and tables inside are very close together. The food over all was good but some dishes are overpriced. Escargot was yummy, table bread was great. I had the duck which was overpriced and didnt need an Italian sausage and a piece of pork belfry in with the white beans. Husband had lunch special which is very reasonably.

Beth

 I always feel like I am being transported to a cute little café in France every time I visit this restaurant. Other than the ambience being superb, the food is outstanding. The service and all the offerings always keeps my family coming back.
