Five restaurant has a trendy, stylish atmosphere with a focus on innovative cuisine, a vibrant social scene, and a modern design aesthetic. On the patio where we sat there were elements like exposed brick, great romantic/warm lighting I chose to drink my calories from their curated cocktail menu and it did not disappoint! The bruschetta and filet minor bites were an appetizer hit!

This place was amazing. The food, the the employees. Especially the manager (Michelle i believe her name was) was wonderful and great. She came over to our table and entertained our daughter to keep her calm while my husband and I ate. She even gave her a tour of the restaurant. It was to cute. For our first time there, i can honestly say we will be going back more often.

This is our second time eating here. The first time was almost 3 years ago and I had completely forgotten about it. We've tried 4 different main dishes and all of them we flavorful and tasty, a solid 4 for each. The Calamari was a 6 out of 5, for sure. The drinks aren't cheap but their well made and well worth it. Ryan was our waiter and that guy doesn't get paid enough, whatever it is! The tables for 2 are too close together, so close you end up invested in their conversations as much as your own. The crown jewel here is the bread pudding. Best I've ever had! The tiramisu or whatever it's called was tasty as well

Fine dining experience. The food was exquisite. Outstanding drink options. The overall experience was luxurious. Immaculate restrooms. Beautiful up-to date decor. The staff was super professional and inviting. The owner was personally thanking guests for their presence. 5 is definitely a place I will frequent. Update: Hands down our favorite spot in Fresno. The owner is frequently there greeting each table. The manager and staff treat us like family. Great drink options. The food is out of this world. We have not had anything here that we didn’t devour. The place is beautifully decorated and always kept clean. The people that frequent here are all so sweet. Definitely and environment we enjoy.

Wow! Great food. From the salads to the entrees it was so tasty and perfectly cooked. I had the lamb shank special and it was good. The old fashioned that accompanied my meal was great as well. The others at my table enjoyed their meals as well as the wine they had ordered. Definitely a great spot for a nice meal.

The ribeye steak is cooked really well here, medium was a bit medium rare but still good, blue cheese on the side. Food over all was good, the lobster ravioli flavor wise was really balanced. You can actually taste the lobsters inside and the sauce goes really well with it. Over all very good other than the steak but I still killed it

We came here on a Wednesday evening (with an online reservation) and had a pleasant experience. The food was great, and so was the service. We picked the patio area seating and it's just OK. I definitely would choose the dining room option, as the patio wasn't as atmospheric as the dining room. Nevertheless, great food and service.

Ok, where do I start..Our server Dylan was great, too many tables though. Worked his butt off and we all appreciated his effort. He was rewarded just the same. My dish of shrimp, spaghetti with sun dried tomatoes was very good but lacked deep flavor such as garlic and basic salt component. The sea bass looked amazing, very similar to what I make at home, but again lacked salt. The rest of our guest liked their dishes very much and I have a few pics to show you. Apps were good, artichoke with lemon aoli was good. I would give a Solid 4.5 on the food, service. The table for ten could have better, too far from most of our party and couldn't have the conversation we wanted. I realize ten is hard to serve, wish there were other options. While the prices weren't crazy, I expected a little better for the money. While Dylan was great the introductory staff sucked and should be fired immediately. In this style of restaurant the hostess should be more attentive. They had a really cute young woman greeting us and she looked like she would rather be someplace else. A professional seasoned staff member, male or female should be greeting you and welcoming current and hopefully returning guests. Good evening, welcome to the Five! Not" How may I help you" while not even facing you and leaning on the counter. Come on....

The food was really good, but not the best in town. It was flavorful, but the black truffle tasted like it was out of season (it lacked flavor sadly). The service was amazing. Our waiter was very attentive, and was always checking up on us. The atmosphere was wonderful. However, we were sat outside by the windows, and it was so cold! That was my only complaint about the seating.

A new trendy, new Italian restaurant has arrived in Fresno. Pros: lively atmosphere you can go to for food or drinks. Customers dress to impress. Portion sizes are solid. Presentation of food is good and service is prompt. Cons: I can't say I was impressed by the taste. There was a generous portion of mozzarella cheese with each entree but the food was plain yet oily. Eggplant Parm was decent. Chicken Rollatini and Lasagna were heavy.

Made a reservation for our 16th year anniversary , 1) We were seated 20 Minutes after our initial time. 2) We were brought to our table and honestly was way to loud , couldn’t even talk with each other. Thanks to the Birthday group that was there next to us. 3) Food was Decent 4) mixed drinks were very good 5) waiter was super great gave us complimentary items. 6) nice building. Would I come back No.

We tried Five tonight for the first time. Our server, Gina, was friendly and brought us complimentary bruschetta, which was very nice. She never brought us new silverware after taking our used, which is the only reason she isn't getting 5 stars. I made a reservation for tonight. We were seated on the patio with air conditioners. They were loud and it was hard to hear. The noise and heat definitely affected the ambiance. The food was a mix. The bread and olive tapenade was good, as was the Italian Chopped Salad. My husband had the filet. It was tough. His mashed potatoes were watery and needed seasoning. I had a pasta dish (can't recall the name) that was good. The pasta was quite chewy, though, which I am not used to. For dessert, we shared the bananas foster. We usually expect some carmalization on the bananas when we order this dessert elsewhere. At Five, the bananas appeared sliced in the sauce vs caramelized. Apart from this, it was a good dessert.

So overall experience is 3 stars. The atmosphere is on the classier side, the tables are super small, selection of food is ok. The five Burger was juicy and flavorful. The short ribs were savory and tender. The coffee was also very good. The pictures I provided are not staged photos but were photographed by me. Now onto staff, the hostess was rude, squished us into a crowded space. And stated the booths were for reservations. So I would make a reservation if u want a booth. The entire time we were there no one sat in those booths and we took our time. So better seating is suggested if your going to charge the prices u do. Out of 10 I give 4/10 The server was very friendly And her service was excellent. I would avoid the hostess with long black hair about 4ft. Very snobby

Reserved a table indoors and was taken to a table in the patio. When I said I want a table indoors which I reserved the woman gave us an attitude. Not my problem! I still got a table indoors. If you're considering to try the lobster ravioli you won't taste the lobster but you will smell it. The ravioli comes with alot of sauce ask for the house bread to dip in the sauce. The water here is top notch tho.

Its a nice looking place the dim lighting and atmosphere were a vibe. I had a reservation for 2 showed up maybe 10 min early. The wait was not long before I was seated. But, once I was seated it took a solid 40 min for a server to come for a drink order. During that time the table next to me had got drinks, their meal, and dessert. Their server came 4 times to check on that table before I had a glass of water. Once a server finally came over to us. She was apologetic, stating there was miscommunication between the servers as to who my table belonged to. At this point we put our drink orders and food order. After another 25 min our food came. The lasagna was nothing special. I would expect a place that expensive to offer some kind of side with the meal but no it was just the lasagna. Their small cocktail menu was a bit disappointing. They comped one desert item for the inconvenience. Not sure ill return for a while
