I've been to Bistro 5 a couple of times now and really enjoyed it. It has a nice bar scene and little buzz and is a great place for a group of friends or family to meet and linger. The layout is a little crammed but so amiable it doesn't detract. Service can be a little erratic and slow, but lovely people and if you can relax and enjoy then it's great. The weekly burger night is fun and definitely worth a visit. Buck a chuck oysters on Tuesday are also terrific. Great cocktails (among the best in this area), a nice wine list and interesting beer selection (including local Lord Hobo options).

Last night the special truly lived up to the name and should be a review in its own right. Perfectly cooked lamb, with fennel bulb, pickled rhubaeb, chiles and an exceptional lemon-cardamom sauce. I will dream about this dish for years to come. I added a star for this alone.

Every town should be so lucky to have a local joint like Bistro 5.
