| - I gave it 2 stars for the food, Conar our waiter on the other hand receives a 5 star review for amazing service! I love food, I get excited when I see amazing things on a menu. This can be said for the Fifth, they have amazing dishes on the menu, in black writing nicely laid out on a fold-able menu which was cool and unique.
The ambiance is really cool, I unfortunately did not get to experience the cool elevator and magic tricks I walked down a few steps right into the restaurant off of richmond. The place is kind of a chic cabin feel to it. Chandeliers and deer antlers dont sound like a good mix but the most definitely are. I don't agree with putting brown paper on your tables unless you are jack astors or montanas but hey that's just me. I also don't enjoy visually seeing where they keep the roll ups and coffee pots ect just esthetically an eye sore.
Our waiter was pleasant and greeted us promptly. I ordered a Tortia soup it came out luke warm but I was super hungry and it was pretty good.
We ordered wings as our main which we figured to be a safe bet. Plus we were watching the game which we felt like we had to do the whole sports experience. Half Honey Garlic and Half Medium. They are a tad bit dusted with flour and they were nice and big and not dried out. The honey garlic flavored came out incredibly salty. We were told it is a soya sauce base and was allowed to test the sauce but it was definitely not as salty as the wings. I am not sure if they just doubled up on the sauce or someone accidentally salted them before saucing them. The medium flavored wings had to be better, well they weren't as salty but they tasted as if they had been baked in a bowl of butter. If you love butter you will love the medium flavored wings, we were told that its traditional to cut your hot sauce with butter so it is not so spicy. Maybe in the states butter flavored wings are all the rage but butter is only tasty in small amounts.
We shamefully asked to order something else instead. I hate sending food back, but conar assured us that he'd rather we enjoy our food then not. We ended up splitting the "Kale Karnivore" Salad and the "80z AAA" burger. Well the fries are amazing! The Kale salad was 13$ and a it came out with 1 circular piece of Pancetta fried on top and tiny bacon bit sized pieces of the other cut of pancetta, they also advertised avocado in the salad ...... well it was probably 1 slice of avocado sliced up into tiny pieces about the size of a m&m. "Karnivore" should not be in the name of that salad. The dressing was nice and light but it really just seemed to be a bowl of kale and spinach with some crumbs of stuff at the bottom.
The burger was most definitely not an 8oz patty I'm sorry maybe I'm a bad judge of size but Im pretty sure ive had 5oz steaks in a salad before and it was about the same size as the burger. We opted out of the "surprise sauce" that's listed on the menu, only because of our experience with their "sauces". The burger was meh a bit dry and no real flavor. But like I said the fries were fantastic.
Their wine list is not incredibly extensive, definitely a little tiny bit more creative then most, their lightly oaked Chardonnay was really tasty.
All and all Conar was a superstar, kept his friendly character even after we sent the food back. And he was nice enough to help me choose a wine. The restaurant unfortunately needs to do something about their food. The items on the menu seem great until you actually receive them. A bit deceiving and allot disappointing. Yes I have horrible grammar but I will not be going back to eat there unless I am told that the food has been altered to actually match the description.
