It was a little confusing to enter the restaurant through a book and record store. It was worth it. The service was excellent. Our drink orders were taken within 2 minutes of seating. I got the build your burger entree and my friend got a chicken wrap. The food was wonderful we both took leftovers with us. Our waitress was a lovely lady named Kaitlynn J. The food was very reasonably priced too. If I return to Sedalia soon I will definitely return to this fine establishment! read more

We came for drinks and dessert. Sat on the wonderful patio. Drinks were top notch and dessert was awesome.

Back for another round of deliciousness at the historic Lamy building in Sedalia, MO. Started off with the Baked Meatballs with melted provolone and fresh baked crostini. Yummy way to start our meal... Salads for both of us. I had the Summer Salad: mixed greens, radishes, green onion, goat cheese crumbles, walnuts with a raspberry vinaigrette. Sunshine stuck "the best salad I've ever had", the House Salad: spring mix, Parmesan, roasted tomatoes, red onion, pepperoncini, breadcrumbs, with bleu cheese dressing and crumbles. Not lo-cal, but savory and worth it! Entrees were equally good and filling. Sunshine had the No. 5 Burger: 1/2 lb. Beef patty with provolone, bacon onion jam, red onion, tomato, lettuce and garlic aioli with sweet potato fries. I chose the Chicken Scarpariello: braised chicken breast, with Italian sausage, onions, peppers, sautéed cherry tomatoes and peppadew remesco, paired with Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc. And a side of Brussel sprouts...'cause they are delicious! We skipped dessert this time Said it before...if you find yourself in the middle of Missouri, make the trip to No. 5 Bistro & Bar Service was great and the ambiance is a warehouse vibe. It was a former manufacturing location for Levi's 501 Jean! My 0.02¢ read more

Would give it 6/5 stars if that was an option. In my opinion is only "nice" place to eat in Sedalia that actually has good food.

Great food. Especially the artichoke spinach appetizer. Great service. Love the ambiance. Will be coming back.

This place tries too hard. Terribly over priced restaurant masquerading as a hipster urban bar as if we were in a real city. We came here as part of a work lunch. I got the cheeseburger which was like a dry Brillo pad. Pre-formed? Frozen? I'm not sure. It was dry and flavorless. The bun was large. Salad was generic and uninspired. Service was very slow. Way too expensive for what I received. read more

The food, service and ambience was outstanding! Make sure you try the spinach artichoke dip!

Amazing food, service and atmosphere!! All the wait staff and chefs make it so easy for a great experience!!

Great renovated space with high ceilings and fun bar. Quick service for a busy night. Loaded Brussel sprouts are a must! We had ours as an appetizer. #5 burger was more than I should have eaten but soooo good. read more

Service was good. Food was not seasoned very bland. Frittata was swimming in what seemed to be grease and water. It was pretty inedible. The ham and brie panini was waaay too sweet. Thecoffee was dec ent and the sour dough toast was ok. But I've been looking forward to trying this place for brunch. Coffee and toast doesn't cut it. Very unfortunate. Three stars is only because the service was good read more

Hands-down the best atmosphere in town! Awesome staff, great food and even better drinks! Great spot for a couples night!

An extremely nice experience; friendly waitstaff and great food: we each had wildly different entrees: crab pasta, a burger, mushroom ravioli, chicken parmigiana, mixed drinks, and cheesecake. And everything was carefully prepared and well-plated. It's an unassuming-looking place but the food and drinks are first-rate. And I don't mean "first-rate" for Sedalia: in New York City, where I live, this would be a very fine place. read more

I was blown away by the food and dining experience at Bistro Number 5. The building is an old Levi jeans factory, the number 5 factory, since 1893 as I recall. The building has been wonderfully restored and houses several businesses in addition to the bistro. We had some great beer, appetizer with goat cheese and pepadew peppers, and sandwiches. The sandwiches are build your own with choice of grilled chicken, fried chicken, buffalo chicken, hamburger, or vegetarian. The toppings include the traditional plus some fancy stuff like bacon jam, pimento cheese, and smoked apple butter. I got a hamburger with swiss cheese, garlic aioli, bacon jam, and fried onions. Every bite was amazing. I just kept thinking, "this is so good!" read more

I came to No.5 yesterday for my birthday dinner with 5 girls. And unfortunately it's probably going to be my last time. I made a reservation the day prior so I figured it would be no issues with service. When we arrive our server asks us what we'd like for an appetizer; we let her know we need a few minutes. No problem there. Eventually, we put in our app order and it took probably 20+ minutes for the app to come. Appetizers are supposed to be quick and fast especially for what we ordered. If they were short staffed they should've warned me and said service would take a little longer. So once we got the apps we ordered the dinner since we thought that would take long too. Once we finished our apps the server never cleared our table. So when the dinner came we had a bunch of plates on the table. The server was clearly new and didn't have the slightest clue of what to do. When I got my dinner (the beef tenderloin medallions with mashed potatoes and broccoli) I received two tiny pieces that were burnt on the bottom (clearly the chef was trying to hide that). I asked for medium and got well done. I took a bite and didn't like it because it tasted charred. So I asked for a new plate that's cooked medium. They eventually got me the food and it was medium rare this time. I ate it but had to add a lot of salt since it lacked flavor. It supposedly had a honey bourbon glaze on it but I didn't taste that at all. Oh and btw the server never apologized for the mess up and never offered me a complimentary dessert for my bday... Also, she was mostly standing where the cook was preparing the food. A new policy the restaurant has is with parties of 6 and more they charge 18% gratuity with the check. I honestly don't think that's fair because our server really didn't deserve most of that tip... In conclusion, don't order anything fancy here or you'll be disappointed. I can cook a better piece of meat at home than this place.. and my dish cost $39 for two measly pieces of meat. Freakin rip off! read more

Charming restaurant specializing in upscale gastropub-style eats in an approachable and cozy setting. The menu is creative and unexpected, each plate composed thoughtfully and perfectly. mussels & chorizo - great depth of flavor, fresh, and the grilled bread is wow! salmon - cooked to temp (perhaps the skin could be crispy, but I'm nit-picking) bone-in pork chop - perfectly cooked and moist, with a light, gravy-like sauce No. 5 burger - cooked to temp, hearty looking Our server was upbeat, fun, engaging and attentive, too! read more

Such a cute place for brunch. The layout of the building is so unique, and the way it all flows together makes you want to check out a bit of everything while you're there. The menu wasn't overwhelming, but it was definitely hard to decide what to order since everything sounded so yummy. The food was wonderful and so were the drinks! Our server Lizzie was so sweet, and really made our experience great. She even brought my mom a slice of cheesecake since we were celebrating her birthday. We will definitely be back! read more

No. 5 Bistro & Bar is a wonderful place to have dinner in Sedalia, MO. The menu is something you would expect to have to drive to KC to experience. Mussels, charcuterie, and wagyu steak are things I have not seen on many Sedalia menus. But, ignore the hoity-toity fanciness; it is great food!! We shared the Ribeye Special and it was more than enough for two. The butter-cheese mix was perfect on the meat and the twice baked potatoes were as good as we have ever had. They have plenty of drink selections and seasonal food selections. The atmosphere is laid back and comfortable. The staff seemed happy, friendly, and checked in enough to make sure we had everything we needed to have a wonderful experience. I can't wait for warmer weather so I can experience the outdoor venue. read more

I had a really good meal here with a friend. The staff was great and very tasty and well prepared. The prices might be a little elevated for what you are getting but the ambiance and warm atmosphere and very professional staff are all above average. It was a great place to eat before boarding the train that night. Would definitely eat again in the future. read more

1. Service is bad. Too slow, never clean a table of fill water. 2. Over salted meal. It's over cooked or over salted. So nasty to eat!!!! 3. They charge you 18% tips anyway, but it doesn't worth even $2. Never again guys. Several last times were awful. Today was your last chance to change it. read more

This wonderful new restaurant was a refreshing change in Sedalia options. We were looking for outside dining options but opted for inside seating. We were able to social distance and felt very comfortable. The chicken sandwich was huge we could have split it. I loved the house salad with the goat cheese croquette and house dressing. We also had a side of chicken chili soup. Yum! We will be back and bring friends. read more

It's good food, but I'm not convinced it's worth the money you spend. When I'm spending $30 a person, easily, I expect to be blown away by the food. It was high quality, I just wasn't terribly excited by it afterwards. Probably the worst part of the meal was a waitress who was very engaging and nice, but completely inappropriate. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and we weren't comfortable leaving our 3-month old at the babysitter. The manager told us it was no problem. The other patrons were kind and patient with us. The issue with our child wasn't that they were a disruption. But instead, that the waitress asked us THREE times to hold the baby. She brought other waitresses over to see the baby. We just wanted to eat our dinner, and no, the waitress (whom we've never met before tonight) doesn't get to hold our child. Quit asking. To make matters worse, she kept informing us that the "food was really expensive". At one point, she even said she wouldn't "blame us if we decided to go somewhere else." Then she kept telling us that "this option was better because it was cheaper." I'm not one who gets offended by this, but after a while, you have to wonder, do we give a look like we're super poor? We were wearing nice clothes. It just came across as a little insulting. We knew what the prices were before we arrived. We looked at the menu online. And if we felt it was expensive, we would have gotten appetizers, salads, and grabbed a cheeseburger later on. I appreciated her looking out for us, but that was not okay. She made it somewhat better when she comped a piece of cheesecake (incredibly delicious, for what it's worth). It's a cool atmosphere. Okay food. But the staff was a bit inappropriate. read more

This place was way better when it just opened up. The food is way too salty, bartender should take additional classes to make better drinks. Please add more items to menu or change it up. Waitresses should be more professional. read more

A good bistro food well prepared on site by chef's at a good price. The server corp was nice and quick. It should be noted in a nicely restored 1800 brick building well apointed, the building houses a book store of gently pre-owned book and nice sitting areas beverages can be bought from the bar are and enjoyed while in the library. The is a very nice women boutique clothier that the youngish seemed to enjoying, all together a good time read more

Drinks were good. I took four out to eat with high hopes. My beef medallions ($39) were well done when I asked for med. rare. The final bill was very high and the service sub par... no check ins and long wait. Oh, and 18% tip is required for over six people or $200. Do not go. read more

My man and I, came here for an early Bday dinner. We started with drinks at the bar: I had their strawberry Tom Collins & a Gin gimlet. My man had the French Manhattan. All of the drinks were delicious and the bartender was very friendly and attentive. We then moved to the dining area & started our meal with a small charcuterie board. Loved it! We also got the shrimp ceviche.... Eh, it wasn't very good. Not enough shrimp and the tortilla they served it with got all soggy. We then ordered salads and our entrees. I got the the Mahi Mahi and he got the Pork chop. The salads were ok, neither of us finished them. The fish was too salty and the carrots were dry. My man's pork chop was good, but he didn't like the mashed potatoes or the carrots or the side of grits. He said the grits were too dry. We didn't finish our entrees, brought the leftovers home and fed them to our chickens & dogs. Finally, we finished our meal by sharing a dessert & a chocolate martini. We got a comped blueberry cheesecake because it was my bday dinner. Sweet! It was delicious and again the drink was amazing. Loved it! The service was very friendly, prompt, professional, and attentive. The restaurant's ambiance was very nice and cozy. Our bill for 2 people, drinks, appetizers, entrees, and dessert was about $150. I really wanted to like this place more, but I've been spoiled by living in a foodie town, San Francisco, for over 30 yrs & traveling to other foodie states and countries. In summary, we'd definitely be back for drinks, the Charcuterie board, and maybe even dessert, but not for the main entrees or sides. read more

Let me preface this post by saying, I have worked in the restaurant industry for 32 years from a bus girl to management, so I'm going to make this review as fair as possible. Keep in mind, there was only 1 other table besides ours in the restaurant (and this table left after about 5 minutes of us being there).....and there were no customers sitting at the bar. I called in advance to inquire about the Bistro's hours on Labor Day of 2020. They said they closed at 9. I made reservations for our small party.....friends and family visiting from Dallas Texas and Atlanta Georgia, at 7 pm. We arrived at 7 sharp and were seated in the bar area (which was just fine). As we walked in, we saw a bartender slumped over the bar looking at her phone, didn't even look up. Our server greeted us and she was friendly. We ordered our drinks and dinner almost immediately. Everything came out in a very timely fashion, including the drinks. I ordered a mid rare filet and it came out blood blue. If my recollection stands correctly, the mashed potatoes were an additional cost of around $4.50. I apologetically asked my server if they could throw my steak back on the grill. She took the steak away and left the mashed potatoes (served in a small separate bowl) As my steak was reheating, the server asked if we were doing separate checks. We said yes, 3 separate checks. She brings my steak back out about 10 minutes later. In 1 hand she had my steak and in the other hand she had our 3 separate checks in hand, which she passed around to us. I was dumbfounded because our drinks were empty, (and she didn't offer us another round), my mashed potatoes were cold, and she didn't offer any dessert. I decided to not make a big deal about any of the 3 aforementioned disappointments, because I didn't want to spend money on extras when it appeared (I'm speculating) the server wanted to rush us out the door because it was Labor Day and no one else was there. Bear in mind at this point it's only around 7:50 and it closes at 9. The manager, a young gentleman, walked by us several times, never approached our table to inquire about our visit, never even nodded an acknowledgment. The whole experience left us feeling flat. To be fair, it's a gorgeous establishment, the food was ultimately very good (with the exception of the cold mashed potatoes), and it's a much needed diversion to the other restaurants here in Sedalia. read more
