Had a wonderful dinner here. Service was friendly and attentive. The cheese plate was a great starter. The tomato and cheese penne was well prepared as was the beef bourguignon. Worth the trip.

On the last night of 2012, New Year's Eve, my friends and I tried to find a place to have dinner but were rejected by over 15 establishments for not having reservations (who would have thought Antigua was a partying town). We arrived at this restaurant and we spoke to the Maitre D' and explained we were looking for a... More

We went to Boistro Cinq and loves the ambiamce. It seems maybe the need to separate their menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner because we orderd escargot and were told it wasn{t available til the dinner. Then we ordered our meals and I had the pork milaneasa and it came swimming in either butter or oil. I ate it (most... More

I ate here this past week. Walked in and was greeted by an inexperienced waiter who took my order but came back to announce they were not serving eggs benedict that day. Fine. Ordered something else. Same story. Asked for the soup of the day, did not know. Finally a more experienced server rescued me and my order proceeded without... More

The beet salad is delicious. And the fish - the best ever. Really worth a trip. Get there early, make reservations and enjoy the evening.

Very good food, french style, even when you don't find many typical french dishes, the atmosphere is nice and the crew is gentle. Recommendable. My duck breast with smashed sweet potatos and a plum sauce was really great, an excellent merge of flavors. My wife took pasta (penne rigatti) made with quatre frommages and a tomato sauce that was good... More

We only had cocktails. The bartender was probably the most well mannered and friendly server on our entire trip. The drinks were great. The food did not smell very good, but we had a nice time. Think we saw Kenny Rogers there, he was pretty hammered ...

We had dinner here on one of our last nights in Antigua. This is a very nicely decorated restaurant. It has a really nice ambience to it. We reserved a table relatively early in the evening and we chose to sit in the open air central courtyard of the restaurant just inside the front entrance. We could have sat in... More

My wife and I ate here this April and had a lovely dinner. The service was impeccable, friendly, and well trained. We split an absinthe, had calamari, and then two entrees with local seafood. Dessert was very good as well. The best part were all of the candles, the mellow atmosphere, and sitting with my wife talking and writing on... More

The Bistro is right in the heart of the Central Park area and easy for all visitors to get around and enjoy. Suzy and I stopped in at 6PM for a couple of appetizers and a glass of wine. In an hour all the tables were taken. It was bustling with happy people and lively chatter. Great food and drinks.... More
