Limited but fantastic menu. Menu scale likely related to being a pop up searching for a permanent home. Service was perfect, wonderful staff. Really nice space. I recommend.

The Pesto Fettuccine, noodles made in house is delicious. You must try it out. Start off with the candle bread service, as it can be additive. The menu is limited but that's how we like it. Dishes showcase seasonal ingredients. The venue, staff and service was excellent. We'll definitely be back again. Like how it's intimate not overwhelmingly big. Great date night spot!

Read rave reviews so we decided to try The Fifth String. Service was outstanding however we were disappointed with the food. I started with the steam mussels which had a fantastic tasting broth but the mussel meat was tiny - about the size of a fingernail. My wife had the gem salad which was very tasty. For entrees, the menu is very limited - two pastas, chicken, prime rib but the prime rib was not available because the oven was broken. I had the Angnoletti Serpente, a tasteless small portion of a circular pasta mess surrounded by tomato paste that they charge $29 for. My wife had the pesto pasta which was good. For dessert we ordered the Tiramisu, which they make at the table. A terrible mistake!! Tiramisu without the mascarpone?!!! Their version is soaked lady fingers covered with whipped cream. Conclusion: excellent service, average food that needs work (a new chef?), overpriced.

We went twice this week! The food is delicious and presented beautifully. Cocktails are inventive and Attimo wine sets your meal off perfectly. Amazing attention to detail. We eat gluten free and the bread was fantastic, and table side tiramisu with GF lady fingers so good! Another friend with us had extensive allergies and they customized a beautiful meal for her as well. The music was gave us just the right “date night with friends” vibe for a really lovely evening. Kind attentive staff, visit from Chef Amos to the table - fine dining at its best. We’ll be back soon!

We were so excited to visit Fifth String in their new space. The atmosphere was wonderful and bright. The Attimo wine was divine. The menu. The menu is thoughtful, small, caters to specific dietary requirements (I am vegetarian and there was plenty!) The focaccia and butter service is a must. The burrata salad was perfect to share; the Serpente pasta was truly incredible and the chicken was such a treat! Excited to see how they continue to evolve in this space. Still speaks to Chef Amos and his passion and creativity of procuring thoughtful food. Can’t wait to go back!

Fifth String is a neighborhood gem. I had the Pappardelle which was buttery and absolutely delicious and masterfully prepared. The bread with tallow butter is also amazing. Beautiful cocktails. We ate there twice in two weeks! Highly recommended for foodies and non-foodies alike. A favorite.

Man, The Fifth String is a hidden and amazing treasure in the Highlands. The food is innovative (my favorite is the beef tallow candle), the cocktails are creative, the wines are brilliant (a sparkling semi-dry orange/skin contact wine by the glass? Why yes, thank you!). I can't wait to go back.

Great venue and the service was excellent. All of the dishes were good - but a bit unbalanced. The carpaccio was so oversuaced that you couldn't taste the beef. The green goddess in the beets and burrata was way to acidic. The lobster bisque in the crab cakes were way over salted. Needs refinement.

I’ve been so looking forward to eating here! We tried it for brunch. Honestly it was disappointing. The food was fine, certainly nothing to write home about. We had the cinnamon rolls, fried cheese omelet, yogurt parfait, side of bacon and 2 mocktails. The mocktails were the best thing we had (by far), the bacon is also delicious (once you dab off the excessive grease). Bummed to say we probably won’t be going back.

A year and a half ago or so, this restaurant's food was exceptional. We often ate there and met friends there. Last night, the salad ingredients were supposed to be blanched, I guess. Although flavorful also too chewy. The chicken served warm not hot, was just okay, tender, but the duck fat matza balls must be an acquired taste. They were flavorless. At 6:00 pm this restaurant used to be packed. This time there was only one other table occupied in the dining area. And, then, if that's not enough we are paying a kitchen fee now. One thing was exceptional and that was service. They were perfectly attentive. If this has just become a neighborhood gathering place, then change the menu.

Loved everything about this restaurant from the hostess who sat us, to our wait person, to the people bussing the tables. We had their unique tallow candle bread appetizer. Loved the Kobe spare ribs with homemade tater tots and pickled veggies. Dessert was the pot au chocolate which was the perfect way to end the evening. WIll definitely go back.
