Take Five Bistro

Very good food

Had a problem with food and it was corrected right away with no problem.
Great service and lots of local flavor

My boyfriend and I ordered the 9 oz filet and it was so tender and buttery, tasted like it could melt in my mouth. Love the atmosphere, romantic, nice back ground music. Great service.

Will go back soon. It was very good. (Thanks.)

We were very pleased with the excellent service and fine food. Everyone was very professional and were there to please. Great experience.

Pretty pricey but worth the price for sure. Everything was great

Food is always reliable and well price. Atmosphere is dark enough and small enough to be romantic without feeling crammed in.

Excellent Steak Dinner & service was also top notch

Best steak I've had in a long time.. beautiful mixed appetizer plate, flawless service from Adrian

Never had a bad meal here.
Steaks are always cooked perfectly.
Menu is getting pricey.
$45 for a fillet with a spoonful of Dungenous crab.
For that $ would expect the whole crab.

Will still go back though, food is amazing.

Love that the food was all local ingredients! I had The steel neptune @ $45 (little steep) which was two 4oz medallions stacked on top of a lightly crusted whipped mashed potato. The veggies were delish-while large carrots, Brussels sprouts and asparagus.
The AAA meat was to die for however the steak on the bottom was over done. I asked for med. It was well done BUT!!! Wait!!! Because the meat was aged 28 days and tastes amazing...soft like butter soooooo fabulous...it didn't matter! I gave the feedback positively as O got to try one steal med and one well done.
We will be back! I highly recommend this restaurant. Out server was perfect! So professional..not trying to be our best friend but perfectly friendly. You can tell his is experienced. Perfect service and very knowledgeable! Thank you Scott!!
My parents actually recommend Scott!

10/10 would go again, compliments to the chef !!!!

Food and service was wonderful however my husband and I went to celebrate our Anniversary and was hoping for a quiet evening well that wasn’t the case. We were put at a table in the back of the restaurant and everyone sitting back there were loud, drink and obnoxious so that pretty much ruined our night. Food was very tasty, service was great

Best experience we’ve had in years. Food was fantastic, we will be back!

This is now the best high end restaurant in Windsor. Our server Scott was attentive and fantastic. Try the salmon nachos! We had steaks, salmon and chicken between 4 of us and everyone said it was amazing.

My boyfriend and I received a gift card for this restaurant and we decided to use it for our anniversary. We made a reservation on a Saturday night and I was glad we did because the place was packed. The food was delicious! The French Onion Soup was amazing! I think it was the brandy!

It was so easy to book on line. We were so pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The service was great and the food outstanding. The steak was perfectly cooked and the seasonal vegetables were tender crisp. The ambiance was great. We were so pleased we had chosen this restaurant.

Every thing was very good. Perhaps cut back on the salt a wee bit, the scallop potatoes were excellent , but remember that cheese itself has alot of salt in it.Seasoning on steak (salt ) was a little high,however it was nice and tender. The salads good portion and creative.

Service from Scott was fantastic!!! Meal was delicious!!

Usually we have a good experience but the wait was excessive. The appetizers were a little slower coming to the table but then there was over an hour wait for the mains. There didn’t seem to be anyone in charge or willing to take charge. We were not told about any delay and the waiter didn’t keep us informed. There was no offer of compensation for the slow service. Total time was almost 3 hours. Servers are good but the kitchen can’t keep pace. This seems to be getting worse with our last few visits.

We have dined at Take Five Bistro many times. As usual, the food and service were very good. There were two major drawbacks to our experience on August 26/18. The noise from loud music coupled with the noise from a group in the back room made difficult to carry on a conversation with each other during our meal. We grew weary of asking each other to repeat what was said. Also the lighting was very poor making it difficult to read the menu and the credit card machine. We have not experienced this previously. Next time we will ask for a table closer to the front of the restaurant to dim the noise factor. Perhaps the dim lighting was due to an active air conditioning system for which we were grateful.

Our dinner group recently visited Take Five Bistro. Some of us were repeat customers while others were first time diners there. Everyone was equally impressed. The food was fresh and delicious, cooked to perfection. From steaks to pasta to fish, every one enjoyed their selections. We will definately be back and were anxious to spread the word on what a great restaurant we had visited. Thanks again staff at Take Five. It was our pleasure to have dined with you.

We were looking for another steak place, In Windsor and we have found it! Prix-Fixe menu is awesome! We ordered the 7oz New York Strip and it is one of the best steaks we have had in Windsor! We definitely will be back! We highly recommend this place! Our server Scott was very good! Thank you for a lovely dinner!

I took my GF for her birthday weekend and trying to do something different and looking for a nice spot with a great menu in Windsor, and Take Five Bistro definitely lived up to it. Great restaurant, the both of us loved the food and experience. I will be back again to eat here again!

Great time. A true hidden gem in Windsor. Freshest local food and great service.

We found the service outstanding along with exception food .

Food and service were excellent, again! Steak is the best ever. Friendly and attentive.

Very nice restaurant for special occasions. We had pork chop, 2 beef fillets, and New York steak. All said the steaks were excellent. The pork chop was just OK—did not care for the mango salsa. High marks for a wonderful variety of starch accompaniments. We had the risotto, the croquet, and the garlic mashed—all were excellent. Overall, it is a nice spot for a special occasion. Limited pasta selections, and on the pricey side.

Been here a few times. Food has been consistently great. Service is friendly and professional. One of our Windsor favorites.

Had a great meal, with great friends. Enjoyed our time there we were helped by Scott our waiter who was prompt and funny. Great food, enjoyable space which made our night with out of town friends envious they didn’t have a sport like this in their city. Can’t wait to return!

Mediocre food for meat and fish options for the amount that is being charged. No taste - very bland. However, great service and professional staff.

Johnnie is a keeper! All you would want in a server, knowledgeable about wine, knows the pairings, knows the city and called me a cab after an excellent dinner.

Loved everything about our experience- especially our dinners- although the front room can get very loud (noise level is very loud, not “energetic” per rating scale above). We purposely booked a bit early to compensate for this. We had a great table @ the side of the room but there were 3 tables-for-2 that would have had no privacy or separation from other patrons.

Service and meals always great. Never get the feeling to rush out.

Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Ambiance was fun and romantic. Cocktail/Dinner music in the background was pleasant... I love the oldies.
Our service was wonderful and most importantly the food was delicious!
Would definitely recommend Take Five Bistro.... actually I already have several times since visiting Friday.
Very enjoyable dinner date.

A Diamond in the rough. An unassuming exterior opens up to a classy welcome, cozy interior, and a beautiful menu. The service was impeccable. Our server checked on us regularly, but not annoyingly so. He was well-versed in the menu items and the ingredients of each dish, which I appreciate as a foodie. While the menu looked fantastic, we opted for the prix fixe menu, which includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Offered Mon-Thur evenings, this is an AMAZING deal for outstanding food. More options than a typical tasting menu, and we were not disappointed in any of our dishes. We typically eat at the high-end casino steakhouse during our Windsor visit, but we already have plans to be back to Take Five. We appreciated the attention to detail and premium service, especially when so many places have opted for a more casual feel. While I wore a dress and heels, I don't think anyone would feel uncomfortable dressing down, and you certainly won't feel that way in the way you are taken care of.

Service and food are always outstanding. Will continue going there. Love the set 3 course meal option

The food was excellent however I have one major concern. There were only MALE staff. The entire staff of about 20 people ( hostess, servers, kitchen staff, bar) were male. When I approached 3 staff members at the bar area and inquired about having an all male staff, 2 staff just smiled at me and didn’t answer. The third person said it was just coincidence and that they do employee ONE female hostess and ONE female pastry chef. I find the staffing to be gender biased and I won’t return or recommend to friends.
