Editorial Review for Five Points – by Dan McAlvanah
The Scene
Five Points' name is an homage to the infamous band of 19th-century street criminals whose headquarters were nearby, but there's nothing even vaguely derelict about this atmosphere. Outdoorsy elements make for one of the most tranquil settings around--in the center of the dining room, water trickles from a tree trunk, while light pours down through a skylight in back.
The Food
A wood-burning oven figures prominently into the hearty New American cuisine. The dinner menu changes daily, but dishes like duck breast with pickled Bing cherries, grilled lamb with yellow wax beans and tagliarini with squash blossoms and pesto are typical. The Sunday-only brunch is one of the best around, with first-rate wood-oven baked eggs rancheros and a beer-battered fried fish sandwich on brioche.

This place is great for brunch and dinner - the food is exceptional and affordable and the bloody mary's are amongst the best in the city.

The brunch is not that expensive as some may think. The atmosphere is extremely clean and professional. The staff was phenomenal.
