Such a fantastic night here. Took my husband for our anniversary and we had a wonderful meal and excellent service. 7:15 time slot in a Saturday night was perfect timing. Our waitress Zora, was just the best! Will be back again for a great experience.

Great service and menu options. Just make sure you get out of there within two hours to take advantage of the parking validation, as I paid $21 for 3.5 hours!

I recently visited Five on the Hill and found the experience to be a mixed bag. The ambiance was delightful, the waiter was attentive, but unfortunately, the food did not quite live up to the expectations

All of the dishes are great. We are a group of 4 and we ordered a bunch of as la carte dishes to share. All of the appetizers/ small plates are good. The truffle risotto taste good but the rice is a bit on the hard side. The bread and rosemary butter is divine. For the main we opted for the duck breast which our group enjoyed; however, the $110 rib eye taste just okay despite the great plating. We think there is something off with the cut of the meat. The two desserts are simple but flavorful. Overall we still feel like the restaurant deserves a 4.5 stars.
