    Lovely place! We were able to get there during happy hour (3-6 PM) and were seated without a wait with a nice view of the water. We tried a few appetizers from the happy hour menu, but the highlight of the evening was the gorgonzola fig flatbread. In terms of drinks, the hot peach margarita was a hit, and the house red was very pleasant as well. Great spot for date night!

    I met my book club here for our monthly meet. Free extremely limited parking can be found in the parking lot. If the parking lot is full, free street parking can be found nearby. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Happy Hour is offered Mon-Fri from 3pm-6pm. Outdoor seating is available. Propane fireplaces are lit to help keep the chill at bay during the colder months. Indoors is dimly lit with a trendy atmosphere and vibe. Cab & IPA's is not ideal for large parties. Cab & IPA's offers a nice selection of local wine, beer, and ciders. A full bar is available for those who like to sip on cocktails. During my visit, I sipped on a couple glasses of House Red wine for $8 each (hh). I ordered the Margherita Flatbread for $11 (hh): Flatbread toasted with mozzarella, basil, and tomatoes. Always an uncomplicated yet tasty choice. Flatbread would have been taken to the next level if red pepper flakes were offered as a garnishment. Our table shared the Chips & Salsa for $5 (hh). I would pass on this snack the next time around. The salsa was bland and watery. I took a to-go order for a Cobb Salad home for my wife for $16: fresh greens, chicken, avocado, egg, olives, onions, tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles, and bacon with ranch dressing. The salad was served in a nice sized compostable container. Salad toppings were generous and pleasing to the eye. My wife was happy with her meal choice. Service was efficient, although a bit clipped. Overall, I look forward to returning in the future with a smaller group.

    3.5/5 Been twice and love the views, wine options, food is decent but service is lacking. The bruschetta is a bit pricey for only 3 pieces of bread but it's really good - just wish an appetizer was more of a shareable portion. The margarita flatbread pizza was great! Previously got the charcuterie board and wish different options for crackers and a spreadable cheese. Again, a bit pricey for what it was but good. Service was slow both times when it wasn't that busy, not very attentive and just basic. Not rude but also not very pleasant/memorable.

    What a fun, fun place! This is my second time there, and it was just as delightful! The views are fantastic! Oh! Hello, Ms. Ferry, dashing across the Sound! Hello, beautiful sunset! Now add their excellent service! Yay! Don't you just love it when they are attentive without being pushy? Well, here you go! They have a fabulous wine selection (I will assume the same for beer), either by the glass or by the bottle! And they offer a discount on six bottles or more! We had the baked brie with cranberries and the clams - YUM! Mukilteo is a gem in itself; this place is a perfect example! OH! I didn't order this but another diner did and I just had to take a picture! What a fun take on a Bloody Mary! What a hoot!

    The ambiance of this place is amazing especially on a nice day when you can sit outside. A couple of things ruined my experience unfortunately, starting with the wait. I fail to understand why they would have so many empty tables but continue to have such a long wait. Perhaps they should take some tables out if they are unable to fill them for some reason. After waiting almost an hour, the waitress we had was very rude. At one point I had a bug in my glass of wine and was fishing it out with a napkin, and someone at my table asked if she could bring me another glass. She replied, "no, she drank half of it." That is not a response you would expect, and she could have offered a half glass to replace it. The food was average, the street tacos were dry and lacking sauce. I wish I would have had a better experience, because like I said, it's gorgeous.

    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!

    In short Great deals on great drinks, food is really solid,…read moreand the setting is nice and friendly. Only drawback is that the hours are limited. 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.

    Came back to this establishment after a year had past for another birthday. I love seafood, but…read morefor some reason this menu did not really excite me that much. Food was definitely better this time around. I opted with the seafood salad, which was what it sounded like. The one thing that stood out to me were the smoked scallops, which I could have just ate a whole plate of. There was a fair amount of seafood amongst the plate. Tip: Mondays are half price bottled wine, which was probably the best deal of the night. Now for my salad and bowl of soup I think was around $50+. I'm not afraid to spending money, but I can say you must be paying for the view, and I get it. But the overall price we paid. Idk. The service was a glaring issue, in which I think there were a total of maybe 10 tables that were taken in the whole restaurant. The server was nice enough, but not attentive at all. Now I'm not going to lie the birthday boy set up his dinner for 7pm on a Monday. We did not know that Ivars closed at 8....and no one even told us at any point. I get this was to be polite, but had we known we probably would have been out of there a lot earlier. We did end up leaving at 10 to 9, but probably could have been gone a lot earlier had anyone mentioned that they closed at 8 or we didn't have to wait for our bill for 20+ minutes. I did feel bad after knowing we stayed so late, but like I said there was a definite lack of communication. Also one last thing. Charging for the bread, I don't know if that's new, but seems rather silly to me. I feel like I'm being generous with the 4 star review, in actuality closer to 3.5, I just feel bad making them stay until after close.

Noticing friends vehicles in the parking lot, my wife stopped in, not to drink, but just step inside and wish them a happy birthday.
