Great Place for Special Occasions

by jfava

If you are looking for the BEST New York fine dining experience, Fives is it. The food is deliciously divine and imaginative. The service is very professional, and the ambiance is quite heavenly. Not inexpensive but worth it. A great place to dine for special occasions, romantic dinners, birthdays, anniversaries or if you want a cocktail before a show. I love Fives!!! 5 Stars and worth every one.

Watch Out! No Buffet

by ladybaby78

The service at this restaurant was amazingly wonderful. I felt treated like a queen. The waiters and hostess were very friendly and very polite. The food was as superb as the service. I went there for the Sunday Brunch Buffet, only to find out that they took it off the menu. So everything was a la carte. I thought it would have been nicer if they posted this change on their website, but then I would not have acquired the enjoyable experience of eating at Fives.

• Pros: Service, ambience, food
• Cons: No more Sunday Brunch Buffet

Great food and Ambience

by patharney

Dinner was delicious and the restaurant was a nice place to relax after a busy day of shopping. Lovely views looking onto the hustle and bustle of 5th Avenue. Food and service were both great, contrary to the previous review. I had the pan roasted halibut which was perfectly prepared. Dessert is amazing - we shared the chocolate malted baked alaska!

• Pros: Great Location, Ambience, Service

Underwhelmed and Disappointing

by bidner

I came to fives with some family and was completely underwhelmed. I do have to say the restaurant itself was very nice, but unfortunately the food and service was below average. I ordered the beef medallions. The cut of the meat was a very low quality and it was pretty tasteless. I was surprised that a restaurant like this would serve such a low grade. My wife had the cod which was fair at best. The service was not much better; the waiter was pretty absent and never really came back after the meal was served. Its too bad, as the restaurant does have potential.

• Pros: Ambience, privacy, very pretty
• Cons: poor food, poor service, expensive

A good experience

by aphex

I went with a party of four during Restaurant Week. Every table was occupied, but the restaurant remained quiet, with tables situated almost 10-15 feet apart. A very nice contrast to the places that pack you in like sardines. The fois gras was delicious, and the tenderloin was cooked perfectly. Service was ever-present without being overbearing.

• Pros: tasty food, good table spacing

Nice

by tinsel

I went there and had a pretty good meal, although it was a little overpriced for the size of the portions. Especially when a cup of coffee was $6. But I really enjoyed the ambiance and the service was pretty good and we were seated promptly. Would return again.

• Pros: beautiful decor, ambiance, good food
• Cons: overpriced, small portions
