| - First time at the C5 and it will be the last. The decor is modern, with hardwood floors and slanted walls. This quickly became a major flaw in restaurant design. When the restaurant was just 25% full, the decibel level became unacceptable. The walls reflected all the noise back to the tables. Next, there were fruit flies trying to land on our lunch!
For starters we had the Cabbage & Black Truffle Soup, which was tasty but the Smoked Salmon Salad, was salty. A sign that it was not the freshest fish.
For entrees we had the Hokkaido Scallop sandwich which was breaded and fried to a dark brown crust. Not very appetizing and the bread coating looked industrial, in other words, straight from your grocer's freezer. The Speckled Trout did save the day.
The service is good, but the bread was rationed. Fair enough, since we are at war.
Over all, C5 is expensive, overrated, and not a good value unless it was 50% cheaper. I would have given it one star, but 2 of the 4 dishes were acceptable.
