    Always an excellent and delicious experience. Great service in a vintage and historical ambiance. We lucked out on my birthday and it was chicken pot pie night and it was yummy! Have them dish out for you! Sommelier was super helpful and pointed us in a great direction. Of course our martinis to start were perfection. And had a cup of onion soup to start. Loved my birthday card and brownie. They have been around for 105 years and the service and food are exactly why they will be around for 105 more!

    It very nice and 3 star like setting. Everyone was nice. Most of the food was a hit. Can't win it all. The wine pairing is more on light side. 7 pours for 20ish dish. So it's like sampling. If you really want to enjoy, then buy a bottle or bring your own. It's like every 10min there is a dish. You will be full. I think if the price is around $300 before getting the star. It would be perfect and then once it get some star then move to $400.

    The view was everything but due to it being windy we couldn’t really see to much over the hill because the blinds were pulled down so was alittle sad about it. But the food was amazing ( Surf and Turf ). Will definitely be back to try breakfast and hope that its not windy this time lol. Thank you Five on the Hill.
