My favorite thing about 5th and wine is the location itself. I love the decor, I love the comfortable feeling, and just the overall ambiance. I could totally see myself going down there every day and hanging out on one of the couches eating a ghiradelli brownie and drinking a glass of pinot noir. Too bad I have responsibilities like children ;)
The apple, brie, fig jam and honey/agave drizzled brushetta is SO good. A perfect start to any meal. The green apples are crisp and the home made fig jam is sweet, and the brie is creamy. My mouth is watering thinking about it!
For an entree I tried the pesto chicken pasta. Very very good...it's deliciously creamy without being to heavy chicken dish. Chef Steven Butler makes his own pesto sauce and it's amazing.
Then of course you have to try some of the wines. They are great at telling you which wine pairs best with each dish, so you will never be disappointed in the flavors.
Definitely a new favorite restaurant of mine!
