Five Corners Bistro & Craft Bar - Farmington, Connecticut

The food here is life changing. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I wish I can describe food like the real ones do. But, here it goes. The nachos, made on site, loads of cheese, chili peppers, and if you choose... chicken or rib meat. I got the rib meat. Amazing! Next, bacon bourbon old fashion. Amazing! Chicken barley soup, delicious. Restaurant shaved potato chip, like WOW!. Bourbon bacon cheese burger was a nice hand pressed patty piled with fried onion rings. The truffle fries had a pleasant blend of seasonings. The restaurant is privately owned and operated and it shows.

My friend and I got drinks to catch up so we will definitely have to be back to try some entrées because I've heard that they are really good. Our server was very attentive and friendly. I love how the restaurant has a rustic and festive fuel for the holidays. I really like the Christmas tree they had in the lobby as well as the various pieces of holiday decor. My friend got the avocado toast with the egg over medium on the side and I got the salmon lox toast. The toppings were delicious, but I thought the bread was a little bit hard. I had tried the chai cranberry cocktail, which was pretty delicious and we both got two mimosas and mocktails as well. They do have a bottomless brunch option, which is definitely what I would want to do next! For dessert, we had the toffee pudding which they put a candle on top of for my birthday, and my friend had the apple crisp, which was the perfect combination of tart and sweet with not too much granola on the top. Overall, we had a great time and I would love to be back to try more food there.

I’ve been going to 5 corners for about 2 years now as a great lunch choice for business lunches and dinner with my family. The past couple times I’ve gotten the pan seared chicken dish. I never order chicken if there’s beef on the menu (their braised short rib is delicious) the chicken is delicious top 5 chicken dishes I’ve ever had. The owner is very pleasant works hard and the staff is great and attentive what’s not to like. Nice work

Very pleased with my first experience at Five Corners Bistro. Didn't try any alcohol, but the menu was tantalizing, and the food was first rate. The service great. Can unequivocally recommend and will return again.

We stopped in here for brunch for our daughter's birthday, everything was amazing. Food had so much flavor, my mother said it was the best fish & chips she ever had! Of course my boys were so happy that they made the chicken & waffles to their liking. Drinks made to perfection. Staff was very fun & forgiving, as we most likely were very needy during our brunch!

We have enjoyed so many meals here. The owner and staff are amazing. The salmon is so lovely and delicious! I enjoyed the Cobb salad. Pork chop was cooked perfectly. My compliments to the entire staff.

I am not an easy person to wow as I’ve been in hospitality many years. My first time here was amazing, as it was a quick and wonderful family reunion between cousins and high school friends! Their hibiscus margaritas- Omgoodness delish! Nachos amazing … wonderful old time atmosphere with the utmost professionals both at the bar or a table. Great conversation! Calamari cooked to such perfection… way to go we will be back and again their drinks made to perfection! Kudos to all you ladies and gents for keeping up the amazing talent, professionalism, caring and commitment to perfection as one can and so exceeded my expectations! 🐙

Stopped in on a Sunday for a ladies brunch date. Started w/ bottomless Mimosas, Coffee, Calamari and Bread Service for the table. I love that they use all parts of the squid + cherry peppers and the seasonal butter for bread was yum!

My entree was the Steak n Eggs w/ home fries and salsa verde. I missed the part where it said they used hanger steak, at $31 it was definitely not worth it. I could get a NY strip steak at Longhorns for cheaper + a side + a salad.

For a sweet ending I chose the apple crisp, also just ok. The oats don’t give that nice streusel topping, instead it was more stale and chewy. The star dessert was the Hazelnut Espresso Cheesecake my friend chose. So decadent and dreamy!

Overall, if you’re going for the food it’s just ok. Expensive for what it is but a lovely time was had catching up with girlfriends. Atmosphere gets a bit busy and loud, but our server was still charming and attentive.

Will be back just not for any of the dishes I chose.
