Inappropriate?

Although it's a smallish space, they've done an excellent job here. All the food is wonderful and I've been several times already. I live just down the street, so dropping for to-go food has become a habit. I recommend the spicy lamb pita, which comes with a REAL salad (not iceberg lettuce) and also potato salad too - only 65k. Staff are the winner here too - all well-trained and friendly. Desserts are great and the sushi appetizer is one of my favs. I agree with Michal that some items are a little pricey. Still, I think Five will be around for a long time.

For a night out, presentation and service can't be beat. Staff are friendly and well-trained -- they don't stand guard over your table, which is nice. The space is beautiful, altho there seems to be an echo problem. (When friends and I visited, another table of four across the room made it impossible for us to hear each other at times. Still, that may have been bad timing on our part.) Wine list is a notable plus. For our budget, this is a once-a-year place, but definitely worth a try. We ordered the tasting menu - a la carte is less pricy. Have not had the lunch, which I hear is more reasonable. A thoroughly enjoyable and delightful dining experience.
