I grew up in an area with a lot of great Mexican-American cantina food which is really its own thing and Prado is exactly then with some classic American diner dishes thrown in for good measure. But the tortillas here are fresh, perfect in texture and flavor, and the ultimate canvas to slap their delicious high-quality ingredients in. The tortilla chips also taste freshly made in-house with a light airy crispiness to them that is divine. Which makes it even better when you dip them in their delicious salsa roja or scoop up some of the refried beans and meat like I learned in my decades of training. Some things are better than others, sure, but I haven't had anything bad here either. I think the carnitas were the best, but the carne asada and heuvos rancheros were great as well. They do a decent jamaica (hibiscus tea) and horchata as well! During the day they aren't very busy but seem to be swamped come dinner time. They also have a separate menu for lunch before 3pm so beware, they don't serve chips + salsa before then.

From the moment we walked in until the time we left, the entire experience was exceptional. The hospitality was top-notch, and our server, Kim, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating. When I dine out, it's important that I feel comfortable with my server because I truly believe food should be served with love. On a scale of 1 to 10, Kim was off the charts! Now for the food... I ordered the French toast and requested it extra crispy. It arrived perfectly golden brown, topped with fresh berries and real whipped cream--absolutely delicious! I also had over-medium eggs that were seasoned perfectly, although they were a little closer to over easy than medium. Still, they were very good. The only item that fell a bit short was the chicken sausage, which was average and could have used a little more flavor. My husband ordered the pancakes, and they were delicious. His bacon was cooked to perfection--crispy, flavorful, and not overly salty. Honestly, my only complaint was that I got too full to finish everything! If you're looking for great food, outstanding service, and an all-around wonderful dining experience, I highly recommend giving this hidden gem a try. We'll definitely be back

In long Lately we've been seeking out places that are literally quieter--less volume on the music, more space between the tables, and so on. I'd been wanting to check out 5x5, anyway, since it's the only spot around with an exactly perfect rating score. It looked like it'd fit the bill for a low-key place, and off we went. We came in shortly after they opened on a Saturday (4:00 PM). You're in a larger business-traveler hotel here, aimed at Boeing and Boeing-sub folks traveling for work. The building looks kinda generic from outside, but there's plenty of parking, and the lobby has a high-ceilinged atrium vibe for sure. Nice floor tiles, nice carpet, tasteful furniture. Everything's in perfect shape. You don't feel the lounge vibe right away, but there's a gigantic fireplace ahead of you, warming both sides of the room from the middle. Around that, there are lots of sturdy, shiny tables under the lofty ceilings. Off to the side, there's a little lounge area, then another one. Everything in the lounge is bar-height seating, and there are a few flatscreens, probably showing the game. Most folks are in here, sitting around the bar in the middle of the room. We posted up at a table just outside the lounge. Lindsey was behind the bar, and cheerfully answered every single question we had about food and all their cocktails. She's super friendly and makes a great drink for sure. She seems to have a bunch of regulars who aren't staying at the hotel, which is a great sign, no doubt. We checked out the warm pretzel--such a decadent treat. The waffle fries (and especially the aioli that came with them) were awesome. The pizza was a great choice; we added pickled onions to the Speedway. The crust could be a little crisper but we took home what we didn't finish and it's great here, too. Service on food and drinks was really quick. The cocktails here can be really creative, and there are lots of classics with house twists on the recipe. They even have a pisco sour they've tweaked--that's a fair bit of work for a bartender to make mid-shift. We got 5 great drinks and 3 nice plates of food for $96, and I don't think we even ordered anything from the HH menu. This is a very easy place to add to the rotation.

We had a MARVELOUS experience!…read more My bf, his mom and myself passed by this place on a couple of walks. I've also marked it as a place to visit. It is part of the Staybridge Suite hotels here and this hotel in general, is always packed! We finally know why! The hotel inside is beautiful -- woodwork and a cozy ambience! The 5 x 5 bar & bistro is new. What it was before was an old theater. Matthew was a one-man show with two ladies helping him with carrying the done orders to the tables. It was actually quiet on a Wednesday when we had went. Only 3 tables occupied. We missed happy hour and settled on the regular menu. I had the chicken tenders (4-pc) with lemon pepper seasoning (oh my -- this was delicious!) along with sweet potato waffle fries. I also got the hummus plate -- fresh veggies and the hummus had feta cheese and olive oil too, yummy! My bf had the pepperoni pizza with cheddar cheese and topped with green onions. I had a taste of it and it was pretty good! My bf's mom had the fish burger with a side salad. Matthew was so kind and made a mental note of the orders. He even remembered my bf's mom saying 'no cheese' and he doubled checked with her after looking at the fish burger. Real nice guy and his service with the ladies was warm and delightful! They're forming an events room hall that will be done soon that used to be a pool area (so yes, no swimming pool anymore). They also have a nice patio area with long chairs and a nice mini bar/grills in the middle. I also had a limoncello cooler and my bf's mom has red wine too. We'd come back again!

On top of that, the food is good. The nachos with pork was massive and we were impressed that the cheese and toppings were evenly distributed. The fish tacos and gumbo were good too! I would opt for the Harvest salad over the Chop Chop. The chicken was tough. The Harvest salad had bleu cheese and candied pecans. Service was friendly and food arrived promptly. There's plenty of seating in the restaurant.

This server, brown wavy hair past his ears and dark mustache took our orders and never came back. When we were ready for the check he was busy talking to someone unrelated to food orders or food..period! He didn't care to look over. Then I asked the host for our check. She tried helping but could not print our check because she was not the server. She then walked over to get his attention discretely, no such luck, he kept on talking. A few more minutes, I asked her if she was getting me the check, she explained that she could not. So i waited, I think he glanced over and back to jabbing. Then the host had to go get help from the someone that could override and allowed her to print. horrible service this second time..not sure I want to take a chance on bad services again. the place was not busy at that time so busyness cannot be a reason. And, he was not working, he spent that time talking.

The B1 vermicelli bowl was mostly ok but the egg roll in it was so mediocre it might literally be the worst one I've ever had in any Vietnamese vermicelli bowl. The rest of the meat in the bowl seemed decent or good. The #6 pho was pretty ehhh esp compared to the equivalent at Pho Than Brothers. The broth was good, maybe slightly greasier, but the tendon and beef was waaaay fattier and lower quality than what you get at Pho Than, plus you get much less quantity. I ended up discarding half the meat in the bowl because it was so fatty, so I basically paid $18 for a bowl of noodles and pho broth. The interior seating is a weird material that doesn't let go of stuff, so look carefully before you sit - my booth had a bunch of crumbs and hair that wouldn't go away even when I used my own tissue to wipe it. I later found the crumbs clinging to the edge of the seat because the surface is weirdly sticky. This place was ok to try one-time, but it's not somewhere I would want to come back for the food. But you can probably guess this would be the case given the Yelp highlighted popular dishes are stuff like pad thai, Mongolian beef, and crab Rangoon

I got the Blu Burger, and I took The Hippie Burger (vegetarian, vegan if you remove the Chipotle mayo) home for my partner. The woman at the counter was super friendly and packaged the burger very carefully so I could take it home in one piece! I ordered the Blu Burger & Butterfinger Milkshake - both were solid. Butterfinger shake was delicious, although part of me wishes I got some of their on-tap root beer instead. The burger was tasty, albeit a bit of an adjustment for me since I'm still warming up to blue cheese. The only downside was that the bacon tasted a bit too meaty (if that makes sense) and one of the pieces had a part that couldn't be chewed in it. Regardless, it's a solid burger and I'm excited to go back and try another one! They do not serve beer/alcohol here anymore and have converted the old beer tap to a root beer tap. I highly recommend trying this place out as the new owners/workers are very friendly & the food is delicious!

The milkshakes are why we stopped- flavors included root beer , birthday cake, Oreo, candy cane, chocolate, mint Oreo and butter finger.

The…read moresteaks are consistently phenomenal, the atmosphere is polished without feeling stuffy, the desserts are usually excellent, and overall we've always associated The Keg with a higher level of hospitality. This visit was for a particularly important occasion. There were six of us celebrating our friend Amanda's birthday. this year we really wanted the evening to be about celebrating Amanda, surrounding her with people who love her, and giving her a genuinely happy birthday memory. We had a six-top in the bar, and overall dinner was very good. Management seemed attentive, the food was well prepared, and I especially appreciated that they use seat numbers when delivering food rather than standing at the table auctioning off plates. As someone who works in hospitality, that little detail matters. It's professional, polished, and exactly what I expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Our server, Kaylee, I believe, took care of us throughout dinner. Her service style was a little robotic and dry, but everyone has a different personality and that certainly didn't ruin our evening. The meal does take some time, but honestly, we enjoyed that because it gave the six of us plenty of time to talk, laugh, and enjoy each other's company. Unfortunately, the end of the evening is where things really fell short. Toward the end of dinner, I privately found our server and told her it was Amanda's birthday and asked if she could bring out a dessert with a candle. I was hoping for just a small surprise and a nice birthday moment for our friend. Instead, the desserts were brought to the table with the candle unlit, placed in the middle of the table, and then the candle was lit right there. It completely removed the element of surprise and just felt very flat and mechanical. I wasn't expecting a Broadway production or the entire restaurant to sing, but a little warmth and enthusiasm would have meant a lot--especially at a restaurant known for hospitality. We also ordered a crème brûlée, and unfortunately it was genuinely bad. It wasn't sweet and had an overwhelming egg flavor--to the point that everyone who tried it compared it to scrambled eggs. We took one bite and were done. What made that more disappointing was that our server never returned after dropping off the desserts. I had already handed her my card for our roughly $450 check, so there was never an opportunity for her to ask how dessert was or for us to let her know something was wrong. Overall, I'd call this about a 3 1/2 out of 5 experience. The steaks and dinner itself were very good, the restaurant remains beautiful, and there are still many things The Keg does exceptionally well. I just wish the final 15 minutes had matched the level of care shown throughout the rest of the meal. For most people, a birthday candle might seem like a tiny detail. For Amanda, this particular birthday meant a little more. I just wish that moment had been handled with a little more thought and warmth.
