| - We went to M5 for the first time during Restaurant Week, and made reservations for 8:30 on a Saturday night. We sat at the bar and waited for our table, and had several cocktails. I enjoyed the Berries and Bubbles that I had--I really like drinks with a splash of Chambord, for some reason. My husband had the Grape Crush something, which wasn't that great. The bartender was very nice--she was super attentive despite being busy. We finally got our table around 9:20--yikes!
I had the butternut squash soup, the pork tenderloin, and the chocolate cake. M5 got an extra star just for the soup. I am a fan of butternut squash soup, and this one was extremely delicious. The pork was totally average and nothing special. The chocolate cake was pretty good too, I enjoyed it.
My husband had the gnocchi, steak, and the cheese plate. He was not as lucky as I was in our dining venture. The gnocchi was not good, the steak was average, and the cheese plate was alright. His evening tragically ended in terrible indigestion and near vomiting (his ability to "poop it out" saved him). This lost a star for M5.
Our waiter was very friendly and nice, and it was a fairly pleasant evening, albeit a bit inconsistent.
