I swung by this 5 & Diner an hour before closing (8 p.m.) tonight to introduce my boyfriend to the restaurant that I loved going to as a kid.
When we got in the door, we were promptly ignored for a few minutes as we stood around for someone to seat us. We were not greeted or even so much as looked at while we were standing, and there were at least 3 visible employees on the floor: the hostess, a server, and a busser.
Needless to say, we walked out. Being totally ignored like we were invisible to the employees standing 3 feet in front of us wasn't exactly a welcoming feeling.
It was completely disappointing as I was hoping to make this a place my boyfriend and I could attend for date nights. We won't be trying this location again, especially since other reviews for this 5 & Diner are citing the same issue we experienced.
