    I visited this restaurant to celebrate my birthday. My food was not prepared correctly. The server by the name Martin had terrible customer service and communication skills. He showed no sense of concerns regarding the mistakes made in our order. The restaurant is placed in a parking lot with no scenic views. I need assistance in rebooting structure and was not supported. The parking attended people were so rude. I would not recommend this place. I honestly feel like me and my sister were being discriminated against.
    FIVE on the HillResponded 1 day ago
    We are truly sorry your birthday celebration was disappointing. We take your comments about the food preparation, service from Martin, the location, and your parking experience very seriously. We are concerned to hear about your feeling of discrimination, as this is not reflective of our values. Please be assured we are reviewing your concerns with our management team.

    We ordered a couple dishes that we were waiting on while we finished some of our dishes, our server didn’t come around till it was time to serve us our check. Asked him about our other dishes and he said it’s not on the receipt and the kitchen is closed. We clearly mentioned it to him when he was writing down our orders. Was very disappointed , humiliating in front of my date and felt like not paying at all for the tip. Which is somehow not adjustable.
    FIVE on the HillResponded on April 21, 2025
    We sincerely apologize your order was missed and for the lack of attention from our server. We understand your disappointment and the embarrassment this caused. Please know we are a no-tipping establishment; the facility fee supports our operations, not gratuity. We are addressing this issue to ensure better service. The FIVE on the Hill Team

    Slow service and mediocre food. Two servers for about 20 tables so not really servers fault. Much more management side.

    Vibes are nice but the chicken on my salad was dry and fats like it was reheated. Waiter never checked back after dropping off our first round of drinks. We would’ve had at least 2 more each.

    The overall place is amazing, service is amazing, food is really good. Only problem was the outrageous parking fee. Park down the hill and walk, not worth the 50$ spent on parking for a 2 hour dinner.
    FIVE on the HillResponded on March 24, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the service and food. We understand parking can be a concern. We do offer validated valet parking at $18+tax. We apologize that you were not informed of this prior to departing. Please contact us, and we'd be happy to adjust your bill for the difference. The FIVE on the Hill Team
