    It very nice and 3 star like setting. Everyone was nice. Most of the food was a hit. Can't win it all. The wine pairing is more on light side. 7 pours for 20ish dish. So it's like sampling. If you really want to enjoy, then buy a bottle or bring your own. It's like every 10min there is a dish. You will be full. I think if the price is around $300 before getting the star. It would be perfect and then once it get some star then move to $400.

    The view was everything but due to it being windy we couldn’t really see to much over the hill because the blinds were pulled down so was alittle sad about it. But the food was amazing ( Surf and Turf ). Will definitely be back to try breakfast and hope that its not windy this time lol. Thank you Five on the Hill.

    We opted for “Greatest Hits,” overall, all courses were substantial. In terms of quality, superb. However, the chicken entree lacked in flavor. Great atmosphere and amazing service; will be returning.
