Came in for drinks to take advantage of the Chase Sapphire dining credit and had an absolute blast. Darren at the bar was FANTASTIC and knowledgeable, and gave us such awesome recommendations, we loved the modern atmosphere and "funky" spirits. We will definitely be coming back read more

Honestly, the best restaurant experience we've had in awhile! Jenna was our server and she was wonderful! Four of us dined on Easter. What we drank/ate: -Bottle of red blend - Fine -Pineapple mocktail - Really good! -Garlic Bread - Delicious! -Fries with horseradish sauce - Loved the fries and sauce! Large portion. -Caesar salad - Fine, but not oustanding. -Vodka rigatoni x 2 - Delicious. Spicy. -Truffle fettuccine - Really good! -Medium rare steak frites - My son liked the sauce. I would pass on the sauce next time, because I thought it tasted like bacon. Upcharged $3 for truffle fries. Next time I would stick with plain. Son loved the garlic aioli (spicy). I preferred the horseradish sauce. -Hummingbird cake - Amazing!! Favorite dessert anywhere! -French press coffee - @ $5 this is a steal! Honestly, it was enough for our whole party and was really nice coffee! Everything was delicious and service was top notch! We love Sotto. We all agreed that Sotto's Caesar is better and the donuts are close, but Five wad better in every other way! We can't wait to return. read more

The food was so salty and I didn't notice it until next day cause I was drinking although I wasn't drunk that day. I ordered a lot of oysters and the last two orders of oysters were sh**.. smelled and tasted like sh**. I wanted to return them after eating only two of them and got to the third one and that's when it all went sideways. Long story short they wanted to file a report of theft cause I wasn't going to pay for it after I threw up in the bathroom. The service was so much attitude and wasn't welcoming at all. That was my second time there, thinking I was gonna be treated with class at a "5star restaurant" ... smh that was my last time read more

It's a cute, small place with an engaged staff and great energy. When we arrived, there was an engagement party in the bar and they were LOUD. The rest of the restaurant was compensating to hear each other and my husband and I were considering texting across the table since there was no way we could hear each other. Fortunately, they left about 15 minutes later. Service was prompt and attentive. I ordered an old fashioned and got a cute glass with an ice cube the approximate size of a baseball (and the old fashioned was good). We had the shrimp cocktail as an appetizer and it was great - mix in your horseradish as desired (if you don't mix it in, the cocktail sauce is sweet, but with your desired level of horseradish, very good). My husband had the burger, and liked it a lot. I had the pork chop and a side of mashed potatoes, and I think this was the best pork chop I've had in my entire life. The apple finish and the carrots were divine (I didn't love the greens but they were okay) and the mashed potatoes were spectacular. We loved this romantic dinner experience and can't wait to come back. Hopefully without a loud party in the bar. (We were happy for them - they were just loud). Definitely recommend. read more

My girlfriends and I treated ourselves to a fun Galentine's dinner at a five Kitchen & Bar this past weekend. We had the best time and enjoyed everything we ordered! Jenna was our server and while she may be newer to this restaurant, she was a pro! She had great drink and food recommendations. Our meal was very much a "girl dinner". Cocktails from the Elderflower Gimlet, Love Getting Out There, champagne, and wine of course. Then instead of full meals we ordered a variety for everyone to share. For the table we had the Slow Roasted Meatballs, Broiled Artichoke, Burrata, and Frommage Fries. Everything was amazing! I wish we weren't too full to order more. Next time I have to try the Gnocchi Stroganoff! Instead of dessert we finished with Espresso Martinis, which had the perfect balance of sweet. read more

We made a reservation for a buddy's birthday dinner and this did not miss! Everything brought was great and the portions are huge. I had the pork chop and it was cooked well. The cheesecake was HUGE, it could definitely feed 2. The chill atmosphere was nice and the service was great too. Our waitress was personable, answered everything question, and made the experience enjoyable. 10/10 would give it a shot if you haven't been! read more

Tried out Five kitchen for date night and was impressed with the vegetarian options. They also had an extensive cocktail and mocktail menu. Some of the mocktails were more expensive than the cocktails which was strange and we'd perhaps skip on drinks next time. We enjoyed the vodka rigatoni that had a nice kick with actual sliced Calabrian chilis. Also enjoyed the truffle fettuccini. The waiter recommended adding mushrooms to it which tasted great but also came with a $6 charge we were unaware of. We ended the night with a cookie dough cheesecake, nice size and on the menu said it included a fresh baked cookie on top which it did, but there was also a cookie charge on the bill. Highlight was definitely the delicious vodka rigatoni. Did not care for the up charged drinks or surprise charges on the bill at the end. read more

Honestly one of my favorite spots in the city. If you're in need of a date night or girls night, head here! The ambiance is great, think dimly lit, intimate but cool vibes. Now on to the food which is out of this world. I'm gonna tell you right now, you need the vodka pasta in your life. Crispy sage, the creamiest cause and noodles, then as a treat pesto dolloped throughout. Secondly, you need to finish with the chocolate chip cookie cheesecake. It is as insane as it sounds. Chocolate chip cookies as the base, in the middle, and on top. So good! The service is amazing as well, feel free to ask questions to help round out your experience. read more

Food- apps were great we got the pigs in a blanket which had a great sweet and savory flavor with the flaky pastry and really good honey mustard on the side. Caesar was really yummy and was topped with salt and vinegar chips, so I really enjoyed that!! I had the best espresso martini that I'd ever had here, so I'd reccomend that. Now the entrees. The truffle fettuccine wasn't all that and I really was excited for it. It need more Parmesan and although the noodles were cooked great, they didn't have much flavor :/. And the vodka rigatoni had a spice in it that we were not expecting, so the entrees were a flop here. But we liked the vibe in the place and service:) read more

Recently came here on a date night. Everything was really great! The food was amazing and the service was top-notch. My one complaint is it was a little noisy.

The new menu is great. We had the spicy vodka pasta and the seafood soup dish? It was so yummy. We started with the artichoke which was an experience to eat and I hadn't had it like that ever before so flavorful (recommended by our waiter). The best and highlight of my meal was the chocolate chip cookie CHEESECAKE! Are you kidding me So yummy 10/10 read more

Hmm, this time was not as stellar as the others. Service was great, atmosphere always is, but we waited unusually long for our mains considering there were only 10 people in the place (I think because of an early Bengals game). I just wanted to comment on what we ate as the menu has changed since Five changed their name. Tuna Tartare actually ate as a ceviche, not a tartare. The rice cake was fun though. The mussel broth was fantastic, but there was only 12, yes 12, mussels. They were tiny and mealy and fell apart as we tried to put our fork in them. We have never been served that small amount of mussels anywhere. Disappointing. And they charged us $2 for an extra small piece of bread because we were sharing. Really? The steak and sauce of the steak frites was SO salty, which was a shame because the steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and tender. The fries were soggy. The ricotta gnocchi was good but, in our opinion, way over-sauced and too rich when the gnocchi are already made with ricotta. read more

This was my first time at Five and I'm already planning my next visit. Our server, Chuck, recommended the pork chop and he did not steer us wrong. My favorite was definitely the oysters which were sourced out of Connecticut. I loved the Aranchini and the mushroom side as well. The vodka rigatoni would not be my first choice again, but I look forward to trying the lamb next time I'm in. The cheesecake is the mother of the owners recipe and I loved getting these little tidbits of info from Chuck. The restaurant was very crowded so a reservation is a must if you want to eat before 8, but great spot for a date night or girls night out! read more

We had reservations at 5:45 on a Tuesday before a show at Memorial Hall. There was a large group maybe celebrating something, but other than that the place was empty. We wrapped up dinner a little after 7:00 and by then the place was bustling. Our server, Grant, was great. He was full of information and just attentive enough. I ordered a Negroski, the vodka cousin of the Negroni. It wasn't on the cocktail menu; just something I had a hankering for. I knew I wanted the Tenderloin Steak Tartare - capers, olives, garlic confit, calabrian chili aioli. It was very good. You might guess from the ingredients it was a bit salty and slightly sour (not in a bad way). I squeezed the lemon over the tartare because it was there so I assume it was meant to squeeze. The bread served with the tartare was outstanding. It had a slight buttery flavor. Three slices would have been better. It took a lot of planning to spread (literally) the tartare across the two delicious pieces provided. Mark ordered the Corn Bread with Honey Butter. I tried it; it was delicious! It was a lot, which I guess is a good thing, but by the time dessert rolled around we were kinda stuffed. Mark and I both opted for pasta. Mark had Vodka Rigatoni - calabrian chili, herbed ricotta, garlic with Gracie's Meatballs. He raved about it. He said it was the best sauce he's ever had. He wanted to buy a jar of it! I had Truffle Fettuccine - black truffle, herb, parmesan. I was excited, but a bit worried. Sotto serves up an amazing truffle pasta that is outstanding. I needn't worry; the truffle fettuccine at Five on Vine was fabulous! Because we weren't in a hurry, we decided we'd give dessert a try. We wanted something light and opted for Caramel Gelato with a Chocolate Chip Cookie served with Espresso. Oh my, it was delicious. We shared it and it was the perfect bite. Taking a spoonful of gelato and dipping it into the espresso resulted in a perfectly yummy combination. We often find ourselves at Memorial Hall. We will add Five on Vine into our rotation of pre-show dinners. read more

I truly enjoyed my first experience at Five. I was with a big party, but the staff took great care of everything from drink timing to salads and entree timing. They even split a dessert between two people. I am a gluten-free pescetarian so I went in knowing I only had a few options, but I was surprised and delighted by a salmon special. (Don't call me basic, it was good!) I also had a Sazerac and tasted the truffle fries which were delicious, and everyone in my party loved their food as well. I look forward to returning. read more

Stopped by and was seated quickly. Restaurant wasn't too busy but the food did take a while to come out. Some restaurants have subsequent dishes come out immediately after you finish, but here it took 10-15 minutes in between our 34 dishes. Service was attentive and the server Nathan was very friendly. OTR wellingtons didn't look like previous pictures on Instagram. They source their pork from Findley market so the size changed. Still the sausage and flakey puff pastry texture was brilliant and was a great starter. The truffle fettuccine was amazing and the best dish of the night it can be a bit rich. Cioppino was a bit too saucy and salty. I was let down after hearing that this dish was a favorite by one of my friends. Overall I'd be back to try other dishes and if I'm craving pasta would try their other pastas. Also humming bird cake was amazing. Definitely a slight acquired taste but by the time I had leftovers of it tomorrow it has been my favorite dessert. read more

Ordered: OTR Wellington, truffle fettuccini, ciopinno, hummingbird cake I was pleasantly surprised! The OTR Wellington is so unique, the puff pastry was buttery and crispy. The honey sausage and mustard sauce paired so well. The truffle fettuccine was simple yet perfect. The truffle sauce was rich yet not too overwhelming. The ciopinno was salty. There was a nice variety of seafood- clams, muscles, salmon, bits of crab. The bread dipped in the sauce made it extra salty. The hummingbird cake is very unique- it's a combination of a carrot cake mixed with banana bread. It honestly tastes even better the next day! Every interaction with the serving team was great. But the service overall was pretty slow for a Tuesday dinner. read more

Overall we had a nice meal at Five. The entrees we ordered, the truffle pasta and chicken schnitzel were delicious and well portioned. The burrata appetiser was delicious, although the amount of burrata relative to the accompaniments was disappointing. The service was great with kind waiters and bussers. But a few items fell flat that surprised me. For such a robust cocktail listing, I was excited when the waiter eagerly recommended their old fashioned. It was served overflowing with crappy bar ice already being watered down. The shrimp we ordered were the size of the cocktail shrimp you get at Costco, tiny. I understand why now it was only $9 for 3, but it was just silly looking. read more

Came after their rebranding and seriously loved our meal!!!! Service was pretty quick and friendly. We enjoyed every dish we ordered. The mussels were so flavorful & the broth was addicting to dip w/ bread. They were able to split the salad in the back for us, too. For entrees, we got the rigatoni w/ added meatballs. So. Good! The pasta was cooked nice and again, loved their sauce. Steak was cooked and seasoning just how we like it. Would deff come back. read more

My wife and I dropped in on a Sunday night recently and were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. There were multiple rooms to eat at but we choose the bar as service is often better there in most restaurants. We split two appetizers the OTR Wellington were like mini Beef Wellingtons except done with locally sourced sausage. An excellent dish with a flaky puff pastry, delicious. The Fried Green Tomatoes had a beautiful jam which mixed well with the savory fried tomatoes. We split the Wedge salad, which the restaurant was kind enough to split for us, I never would have thought a ranch dressing would work with blue cheese but it worked out well. This was an ample serving more than enough for two. The ambience was beautiful with contemporary bar which worked with the space. read more

My dinner date with the Mr. at Five on Vine was surprisingly quite good! The ambiance and decor was dark, woodsy and romantic. The restaurant itself is quite beautiful and I'd love to be seated on the opposite side the next time we dine there. For starters, we shared the fried green tomatoes which were crispy but I found the topped bacon a bit too thick/tough. Less radicchio would've worked as the accompanying sauce was a bit lost and quite unmemorable. The cornbread, as expected from other reviews, was phenomenal. It's quite large and could easily be shared among 3-4 ppl. For the mains, we shared the truffle fettuccine (with a side of grilled garlic shrimp), Amish chicken, and cheddar mac & cheese. The fettuccine was cooked perfectly and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. Husbae enjoyed his shrimp but does wish the tails were removed before plating. Although tasty and creamy, I would skip the mac/cheese next time as the fettuccine more than enough. But, the clear winner of the evening, was the Amish chicken. I have never had such flavorful chicken in my life. It had a smokiness to it that elevated the dish and the side of kale panzanella with croutons soaked up the broth from the chicken beautifully. We ordered the carrot cake to go and enjoyed it at home. It was moist and flavorful albeit a tad too much cream cheese frosting. Overall, we had a lovely evening at Five on Vine and will certainly dine here again. read more

Nice spot downtown... great location and cool vibe inside. Came with some friends and had a good time just soaking in the atmosphere. I had a few martinis that tasted a little off... hard to describe, but the flavor was weird enough to make me question my life choices. My friends got oysters, and those were the clear highlight of the night--fresh, flavorful, and gone in seconds. I ordered the ricotta gnocchi, and it basically came out as mushy soup... didn't need to use teeth at all, which is never a great sign for pasta. Also got a meatball that was actually pretty good, so there's that. Everything was fine, not amazing... and everyone left still kind of hungry. It ended up being one of those nights where we DoorDashed Taco Bell at midnight to fill the emotional void. read more

I was impressed with this restaurant. It's like Losanti had a baby. That kale used to be at Losanti in the early days, pleasant surprise. Pork chop is probably the 2nd best dish I've had so far in 2025. I typically don't order pork chops. It comes medium rare, they cooked it to medium for me. I'm not a pasta person either, the truffle fettuccine was incredible. My friend cleaned her plate, I've never seen her do that. I enjoyed myself. Those chairs are super comfy. read more

Stopped in for an early dinner at Five on Vine in Cincinnati, Ohio, and had a great experience. I tried the cold smoked shrimp cocktail, which offered a fantastic twist on a classic dish. Additionally, the peach salad was fantastic - fresh, and flavorful. For an entree, I got the shrimp stuffed with crab. It consisted of the shrimp wrapped around a crab ball swimming in an oil based sauce. Delicious. The ambiance of sitting on the patio was relaxing. I love a good patio with a cocktail and unique food. read more
