This was a great night out. Steak was top notch, service was excellent (attentive but not intrusive), very friendly staff, it was busy and noisy but a really good noisy. Atmosphere was great, just noisy enough that I could comfortably talk with my wife without being overheard, good energy from the rest of the patrons. An excellent night out.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Take Five Bistro, and it was nothing short of a carnivore's dream come true. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Upon entering, the warm and inviting ambiance immediately set the tone for the evening. The dim lighting and decor created an intimate atmosphere, perfect for a special dinner. Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the steaks! The menu offered a variety of cuts and cooking options, and I opted for the ribeye cooked medium-rare. The steak was perfectly seared on the outside and incredibly juicy and flavorful on the inside. The quality of the meat was evident, and it practically melted in my mouth with each bite. It was accompanied by a selection of Baked mac and cheese as well as Roasted Veggies all of which complemented the steak beautifully. The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, providing recommendations and ensuring that every detail was taken care of. They truly enhanced the overall dining experience. Our waiter was Brad who was awesome! While Steak House Bistro's prices are on the higher side, the quality of the food and service make it worth every penny for a special occasion or when you're craving a top-notch steak experience. In conclusion, if you're a steak aficionado or simply appreciate a memorable dining experience, Take Five Bistro should be at the top of your list. It's a place where the art of cooking steak is truly mastered, and I can't wait to return for another unforgettable meal.

It was our first time here. Our son Kenan comes here every week with his customers from work and has been begging us to try. He and his sister got us a gift card for our anniversary and went this evening. All I can say is wow. The service was the best I’ve ever seen in Windsor. The food was spectacular. I loved the mini beef Wellington app. It was divine! My husband had the mixed seafood and I the filet mignot. Perfectly cooked. It was delicious. Ended with vanilla ice cream with reduced strawberry topping omg so good. Definitely will be back. Fine dining at its finest

This quaint, low-key and intimate spot was perfect for my boyfriend's birthday. The ambiance was romantic, warm but still casual for a family. The music was a vibe, service was very knowledgeable about wine pairing, very nice and gave us space to enjoy our meal uninterrupted. We keep talking about our experience, how much we loved it and plan to return. I highly recommend Take Five Bistro!!!

We started with Cajon Calamari and Arancini. Both were delicious, seasoned to perfection and fried just right. We both had a Cesare salad as well which was also great. For my entree I had the 9oz Fillet Mignon paired with garlic mashed potatoes, a lobster tail and three shrimp. My GF had the beef tips paired with the gourmet Mac & cheese. Both were amazing! We ended with the tiramisu, it was rich, moist and melted in our mouthes. We highly recommend Take 5 Bistro! 👍👍
