Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Reading

Great food and service. And the hostess was very friendly and helpful. The menu had items to please everyone in our party.

Fantastic, tasty, creative, seasonal dishes, and cocktails. Wonderful staff, pleasant atmosphere, and great value for money. Our favorite place to dine in the greater Boston area. 

Cozy space, delicious food, excellent service. We dined a la carte, shared quite a few dishes, and everything was delightful. Not enough characters allowed in this review to mention each and do them justice. Looking forward to trying the chef’s counter next time!

As always, Bistro 5 was a great choice for our annual dinner together. This is truly the best place to go if you have food allergies, etc. They are so gracious, the food is delicious with deep flavors and fresh ingredients. The service is stellar. 10 out of 10!

While we realize that this is a new venture after Covid, Chopps used to be much better. Gone are the servers who brought you coffee, tea and assorted beverages, making it a truly cafeteria style atmosphere. This may be what some people like but after the original Chopps, we were subjected to a less than stellar experience for brunch. The scrambled eggs were horrible. Coffee and tea are served in paper cups at a station. The omelet station was manned by one gentleman who was pleasant but really didn't know that you fold an omelet before presenting it. Fruits and waffles were good, as were the bacon, sausage and cereals. Hard to goof those things up. I don't believe we'll be going back to his version of Chopps unless we hear they have made some adjustments to their presentation.
