Classic French Dining at Bistro 555<\/h1>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\">White Tablecloths Without the Judgment<\/h2>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">Walking into Bistro 555 is like being hugged by a sophisticated aunt who lives in Alsace but somehow ended up in a Houston strip mall. It has that &#8222;white-tablecloth&#8220; elegance, but without the terrifying feeling that a waiter is judging your pronunciation of <em>bouillabaisse<\/em>. The atmosphere is intimate\u2014only about 18 to 26 tables\u2014meaning if you\u2019re planning a secret romantic tryst, you should probably sit in the corner by the wine wall to avoid being spotted by your neighbor.<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\">The Wine Wall: A Danger to Your Wallet<\/h2>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">Speaking of that wine wall, it\u2019s not just for show. The collection is extensive, featuring gems from family-owned French vineyards. Whether you\u2019re ordering a crisp Bordeaux or a bubbly Champagne, the staff (often featuring the legendary Teo) will guide you through the list with the confidence of a sommelier who has definitely seen it all. Pro tip: If you&#8217;re on a budget, the lunch special offers two courses for around $29, which is basically the price of a fancy burger elsewhere, but with 100% more French flair.<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\">Save Room for the &#8222;Sun&#8220; Soup<\/h2>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">The French Onion Soup here is served at a temperature roughly equivalent to the surface of the sun. It\u2019s a molten lake of rich beef broth and caramelized onions, topped with a thick, gooey armor of Gruy\u00e8re that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bistro555.net\/\">https:\/\/www.bistro555.net\/<\/a> requires a tactical approach to penetrate. Once you\u2019re through the cheese barrier, it\u2019s arguably the best in the city. Follow it up with Profiteroles\u2014crispy choux pastry stuffed with vanilla ice cream and drowned in dark chocolate\u2014and you\u2019ll forget that you\u2019re actually just a few miles from the Energy Corridor.<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\">Discussion Topic: The Service &#8222;Slow-Down&#8220;<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">In an era of &#8222;fast-casual&#8220; everything, Bistro 555 prides itself on a relaxed, European pace. Is &#8222;slow service&#8220; a flaw or a feature of fine dining?<br \/>\nSome reviewers complain that the food takes too long, while others insist that you <em>need<\/em> that time to properly appreciate your Bordeaux. Are we just too impatient, or should a $200 dinner come with a stopwatch?<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>?
