I've been to 5Church 3 times since its opening, with a different experience each time. The first, a Yelp event so of course it was live, had me giddy with hope of a new nighttime mainstay. Atmosphere, drinks and food were all on-point, and I'm already a fan of tapas-style dining.
The second time I dropped in for a quick lunch, and was served a salad so small, I actually thought it was garnish, and asked the server when the actual salad would arrive. That was awkward for both of us.
This last time was Sunday brunch; decent serve-time, really good lamb burger, and bottomless sangria. The sangria was a bit watered down; I could taste the Sprite in it, and the waiter developed a bit of attitude after my fourth glass (or did I get the attitude? No, definitely him.). But overall a decent, slightly overpriced brunch. Will it be my first stop? No. But it's the right move for location and convenience, if you're downtown.
