  • "I love it! Great decor, nice ambiance, terrific timely service from a total professional and non-pretentious staff…I've had a few things from the menu here and I have yet to find anything that I didn't like. This is the kind of place where you can eat anything on your plate even if you can't identify it and you know it's going to taste awesome. ...what a treat... Just... wow!"

  • "Went there with the hubs for dinner Sat. night and it was terrific. Definitely recommend the Moscow Mule for a refreshing summer beverage. Hubs had the sole and he was bowled over, I had the skirt steak and it was exactly what grilled meat should be, salty/peppery and crispy on the outside, tender and pink on the inside. Ambiance and service were also top notch. I have a feeling we will start dining here more frequently in the future."

  • "Five is incredible, went here with a few co-workers last night and had great food and appetizers! The bartender attending to us was the BEST! Normally I stick to Vodka tonic, but he highly recommended their specialty drinks and let me tell you I wasn't disappointed!!!  My favorite was the Moscow Mule, it hit the spot! This Place is AMAZING!"

  • "Tasty, American comfort food with local, seasonal ingredients.  Don't be thrown off by the fact that Five is a hotel restaurant... the food was really good: from to the warm bread to the orzo mac & cheese, the chive buttermilk biscuits ...to the Short Rib Pot Roast and the Pork Tenderloin... At the end of the day, Five is one of the few restaurants I've been to recently to which I'm actually excited to return."

  • "After months of delay we finally tried out FIVE and are now kicking ourselves for not going earlier... What I love about this place is that everything was fresh and made from scratch.  You could tell the gnocchi was house made and that the peas in the dish were fresh and not frozen... Overall we thought the prices were fair given the quality of food and the service we received.  We will definitely be back!"

  • "I came here for a graduation lunch on a Thursday afternoon. My favorite thing that I tried was the incredibly flavorful lamb meatball sandwich, which I absolutely loved. Also an option on the menu is the market business lunch for $18, which I think is a good price; it includes the main entree and you can choose either the salad or dessert. I would be willing to come back and try this place another time."

  • "What a find!  Dined with a couple friends who live in Berkeley and love this place, and we can easily see why.  Newly renovated in the Hotel Shattuck, Five uses fresh local ingredients and simple but delicious flavors. Our friends got the prefixe dinner, which seemed like a good deal at app, entree and dessert at $28.  Everything was executed very well.  Service was good.  Ambience was casual.
