Five and Ten: Reviews & Ratings
Delicious, so kind, moody in a good way. Very happy with the experience. Date night win.
Amazing. Great bartender. Awesome stories were told. Fun time!! Went with my mom and sister and sat at the bar.
Wow! What an experience! The food was incredible from appetizers to dessert! Our drinks were delicious and everything came out promptly and with a smile. The atmosphere was unbelievable highlighted by the smiling staff. Special thanks to Sydney at the door and our servers Zoe and Theresa!
I loved, loved, loved this restaurant! I dined here on a Saturday night, but their use of Resy made booking a table so easy! It was relatively quiet for a weekend, which my guest and I did not mind. We were warmly welcomed by courteous staff, candlelight, and the comforting feeling of walking into your grandma's house. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. Our cocktails were excellent, some of the best we had during our visit to Athens, and the menu was unique but edged with the desirable, homey palate of southern cooking. The cornbread was IMPECCABLE; not crumbly, but butter-dense and warm, topped with flaky sea salt! We also ordered the veggie plate, which was good but slightly pricey for the portion. I love that it was curated with various textures while maintaining an earthy, hearty flavor. My favorite part of the dish was the sweet potato puree with crunchy pecans! This place is a must visit if just for the vibes.
Beautiful restaurant with an elegant yet hometown feel. They provide an experience that feels true to Athens. Their menu is inspired and we loved our appetizer, meal, and drinks. The service was top-notch and we truly enjoyed our evening.
Delicious dinner with my colleague. The menu was written to entice you to try everything. We each had one dish from each section - snacks, smaller and larger. I tried the cast iron cornbread, watermelon salad and seared cobia with a cherry ginger house made soda. My colleague had the pimento cheese, peaches and burrata and the steak au poivre. She had the pineapple house made soda. We loved all of it except for the soda. We just thought the soda could have been a little bit stronger on the flavor. Everything stayed at the bottom, maybe we should have mixed it up or they should've mixed it up better. It wasn't horrible. I just wasn't as flavorful as we thought it would be. The cornbread was absolutely delicious with the perfect amount of crisp on the outside, and the whipped butter was fantastic. I really enjoyed the Cobia, which is kind of a denser white fish. The vegetables were absolutely delicious. Besides the food, let me just say this restaurant is in a gorgeous house. Each room is beautifully decorated and really has a nice southern feel. The staff were very welcoming and friendly.
Terrific meal in a charming setting with wonderful service. Loved the grilled peaches, burrata and toasted bruschetta. The 3 cheese plate was delicious and accompaniments well matched. Our seared salmon, Frogmore stew and blistered shishito peppers were enjoyable. It's a great sharing experience and our server was helpful and attentive. The space was previously a home so it feels like you're in a small quiet setting no matter the room you're in.
Outstanding food, drinks, service and ambiance. We went for our anniversary based on a Southern Living best restaurants of Athens list!
