Love this spot. Parking never seems to be a problem in this part of Old Town. Walking in, we were greeted warmly by the hostess. My girlfriend and I chose to sit in the lovely outdoor patio to enjoy the perfect weather that night. Our server was very helpful and recommended some pretty fabulous red wine. My girlfriend who brought me here used to work there so she recommended the bruschetta as an appetizer followed by the amazing 5th and Wine burger and ending with the cheesecake. Umm... Yes total foodgasm! I need a cigarette. But seriously, I loved my burger, the fries, the salad - everything we had was delicious. Best believe I'll be back very soon!
Tip- $5 glasses of wine during HH -

We finally decided to try 5th and wine ,i have had it bookmarked forever.we stopped in around 2pm to give it a go ....
Cute and Perky , the interior made me think of all things ...Kandinsky 015 painting. I liked the feel of the space immediately ,the red chairs ,the walls ,the curved beams of the ceiling .And the whimsical dog paintings gave it a dash of quirky uniqueness .
I had a bite of Erich's steak bruschetta app,and it was very good .
I had the chopped salad,which was delicious ,turkey ,mozzarella,salami with a nice light dressing .Erich had the burger with white cheddar and onions .The food was decent ,however - the feel good ambiance is what i think makes this place worthy of a repeat visit .
Our service was good ,and we really liked the charm of the place ,so we will be back for dinner ,wine and music ! -

The wine was great. The bar was super cute and the patio was awesome.
Our service was nothing short of horrendous. Our waitress would rarely come check on us, and when she did she would walk away before we had a chance to speak. We asked for a bottle of wine then brought us glasses. After reminding her that we wanted the bottle she was reluctant to come up with a solution to her mistake. Her initial response was something to the effect of "I just filled the glasses you drank out of, so I can't take them back." After discussing it she told us that she would comp four glasses of wine and charge for the bottle. Seemed fair to us, so we were more than happy to work with her.
Then came the check. Overcharged us and overcharged our friends. When I brought it to her attention she got extremely snippy and told us that she had said she would comp our NEXT four glasses of wine. Since we only had three glasses each (the two we ordered initially, then the two we had that were supposed to be the bottle rather than the four each she claimed) it didn't exactly make sense. There was no attempt to recover from her awful service, all she did was argue with us while the manager sat and watched.
I'd love to try 5th and Wine on a different night, but if this server comes near our table I'm out. -

Just great. So glad my Yelpers led me to this place when I was in town, and I brought 3 locals who loved it too...and hopefully will patronize this place again. We were served by the owner (manager?) who was great fun and gave us great service. The bruschetta sampler was outstanding. Live music was good and it was a really fun atmosphere.

A great place to enjoy the patio for lunch or a $5 glass of wine before 6pm! Obviously, the wines offered for $5 are not the best and highest priced ones from the regular menu, but it's still a great deal. The small plates like hummus are a great snack to enjoy with the wine and we've had several flavorful sandwiches and salads for lunch there as well. The staff is friendly and attentive and there seems to be a fair number of regular customers offering repeat business which generally seems to be a positive indicator. Whenever we're dining anywhere in the Old Town area, this is a go-to place for us!

LOVE this place!! I recommend 5th & Wine to all my friends especially come happy hour time. Their location is in a central spot of Oldtown Scottsdale, and the ambiance of the place is very relaxed and chill. Their bruschetta bread is amazing and their cheese cake is even better!
Their service is excellent. You are always welcomed in with a smile. Their servers are kind and sufficient. Definitely one of my favorite places in Scottsdale! -

This is a great little place to eat. There are three reasons that I didn't give it 5 stars: first, the parking. (But everyone knows that it's not easy to find parking in the heart of Old Town.) Second, while all the food is definitely good, there hasn't been anything on the menu yet where I would say, "That's the best ____ (insert awesome food here)____ I have ever had!" Third, the place is loud. It was already rather loud, and then a guy started singing and playing the guitar (he was actually surprisingly good), so then patrons started speaking even more loudly to be heard over the music.
My bf and I needed a quick place to eat in Old Town before going to see a band on Saturday night. As we left our house, I went to Yelp and booked a reservation at 5th and Wine through OpenTable, which was convenient and perfect. We got in right away, didn't have to wait. We didn't want to eat food that was too heavy, as we were on our way out. So we split the butternut squash soup (pretty good), strawberry gorgonzola salad (wonderful), and the the glazed salmon (pretty good as well).
One thing I do have to mention is that the service is always GREAT. Our server was totally cool and nice, and he split everything on 2 plates without our asking and without charging us a split plate fee. Again, the food was very good, but I can't really rave about anything. However, I can honestly say that if you are looking for a great place to eat that is quick, courteous, and has a lot of options, 5th and Wine is a pretty good bet! (Especially if you like to sit outside-- their outdoor dining space is pretty and quite large, which is convenient.) -

This is the most comfortable place to have a glass of wine, relax, and enjoy some great food. Their service is amazing. There are really comfy seats and couches inside and great outdoor seating. You could literally spend hours here. They have wi-fi, so you can chill out on your CPU or IPad. The bar super cool. Very nice bartenders that are knowledgable and accommodating. Their wine is killer, of course, or they wouldn't be named 5th and Wine right?

Based on positive Yelper feedback we decided to give this one a whirl for Happy Hour prior to a baseball game. I think 3 stars about says it for our crew. Good value on the Drink Menu (especially the $5 glasses of Vino). Service was very friendly, attentive and relaxed.
Ambience was nice out on the patio. Great weather and not too crowded. Food was good. Not great. All solid.
Glad we visited and enjoyed it. Solid pick but don't know that we will rush back with so many other good options in the area. -

Rolled in here on a Sunday afternoon around 4 PM. after we attended the Scottsdale Arts Festival.
We didn't eat just tried 2 different glasses of red wine. The place filled up pretty quick after we arrived but yet the service was attentive and friendly. They even had happy hour pricing at $5 a glass. We sat outside which really made for a nice experience.
If you haven't been yet, I would recommend it for happy hour deals. -

This isn't the same place I visited a couple of weeks ago. A full, bustling bar, live music on the patio, a warm welcome and an open kitchen!
Once seated on the practically hidden, cute back patio, I started with a kicky Texas Mule. Man oh man, I will be drinking a few of these this summer, I can already tell. Refreshing & sexy.
On to the starter.... The calamari had a nice peppery batter and was paired with an unexpected sweet & spicy Asian-type sauce. If I'm going to have fried food, this is the kind of thing I want to be spending those calories on! For the main course, I was presented with a perfectly cooked, generous portion of Sea Bass with spaetzel. The tomato vinagrette was delicate and warm, with just enough acid to complement the delicate fish without over-powering. Both of us ordered the Sea Bass and both of us sent back clean plates to the kitchen. No dessert thanks - we are stuffed!
I don't know what kind of Twilight Zone-esque black hole I walked into on my previous visit here, but it must have been some alternate reality 5th & Wine. Tonight's 5th & Wine was fantastic!Listed in: Best places for the 30 - 40…

What can you say after 186 reviews? I'm just writing No. 187 to let you know that it is still excellent . . .
5th and Wine must be doing something right! We sat on the patio at sunset on a warm February evening - food and wine were outstanding. Company was great. Service was attentive, but not overpowering.
A place definitely worth visiting, if you are in the Old Town Scottsdale area and hungry. -

I love lazy weekends!
Attending 5th & Wine for, of course, Wine! HH = $5 a glass what!? Yep I love it! Pour me a river of some wine baby! Ordered me a plate of bruschetta and call it good. I had the Hummus, Steak, Prosciutto, and Apple/Brie Bruschetta. Can't say I'm a big fan of the steak one, but the others were decent. Nothing too special, but it was good.
Service was good since our server seemed like she had an eye out for our glasses - more wine more water- Bam! I dig! The ambience was really chill and jazzy. Plush seats and a homey feel. They have live bands here often and nightly so gotta come check out that scene. All in all, a great place to chill and listen to some music. - Enjoy! -

My boyfriend and I came in for dinner on a usual Friday night. We were seated towards the back of the dining room, and were thirsty and hungry. I had the house Pinot Gris and he had a beer. There was no bread service, but there were a good variety of appetizers on the menu. We started with the bruchetta, the pick 2 for $6.95 and got the apple and fig jam and tomato, basil, evoo, and mozz. The bruchetta was good, maybe for me the best part of the meal.
For the entrees, I had the chicken with pesto bowties and it was okay, I felt the sauce was kind of heavy and had too much of a pesto and cream flavor for me; but it could be I personally thought it was too heavy. My boyfriend had cheese and crackers (yes, he loves cheese and cracks enough to have it as an entree); and his was good but the server didn't identify the cheeses when he dropped it off. I know, I know.. we should know what cheeses we picked, but at some point if you have 3 white cheeses in front of you- its tough to know which is which. The cheese to meat ratio was very low; there definitely could have been more cheese to go with the varities of prochutto, salami and (fill in the meat I forgot here). The cheese plate came with bread.
The service was okay, not spectacular. The young lady we had serving the table did a nice job but had an attitude. Definitely worth a try for the vibe and nice location in Old Town. I will probably continue comig back for late night drinks, and maybe sample a dessert next time. -

What a fantastic neighborhood restaurant. The type of place that makes me want to move to old town. And such a great Saturday night crowd! A perfect demographic mashup that felt more like Santa Barbara than Arizona. For dinner I ordered the panini with prosciutto and caramelized onions. It was very tasty but arrived at our table a little too cold. My butternut squash soup on the other hand was piping hot and excellent. Just right for a chilly January evening.
Unfortunately I was a little under the weather on this particular evening so I couldn't drink any of the wine but I am feeling better now and look forward to returning and getting a nice red wine buzz started. -

Love the atmosphere here.
The wine list is, of course, impressive. The food is great also. My hubby recommends the grilled cheese w/ white cheddar and brie. I thoroughly enjoyed my bruschetta and potato leek soup.
This place is prefect for a quick drink, dinner, a night of drinking...really any occasion. -

My boyfriend and another couple came in a few Friday nights ago after seeing some comedy at Stand Up Scottsdale; we didn't have full meals but had a few glasses of wine and some bruschetta. The bruschetta is absolutely to die for (we had four different kinds) and they have an extensive wine menu. There was live music outside on the patio and the atmosphere was pretty good. I'm not really sure why it's not a 5-star .... it's not a completely RAVE place but I definitely didn't have any complaints. The service was very good, food was delicious and wine was tasty :) We will definitely be going back!

The apple bruschetta was fantastic and the red sangria really complimented it. My wife had the bourbon glazed salmon, which was fantastic. I just had a burger and it was ok...wish I had had a platter to rave about. The ambience was nice and the service was very quick, but we had also gone for an early dinner before a show, so I don't know if the service would have been the same if it was more crowded. I would definitely go there again and would recommend it to friends.

I have heard so much about this place and i had been shopping at Scottsdale Fashion all day and wanted to have a quick bite and a glass of wine or two. So i suggested to my friend lets go over to 5th and wine.
When we got there we walked into what seemed to be the front door. It was not that it was a second door that walked right into a dining room where you walk through past a server station to the host stand. This is no way for a guest to enter your restaurant. When we reached your host stand there were three people standing there waiting to all start talking to us. There were two of us and were asked if we wanted to sit in the dining room or the main bar area. As we were deciding where we wanted to sit the "manager" proceeded to say "just go" as if were holding the line up behind us. There was no one else waiting. The hostess took us to the main dining room where people were having family dinner and dates. Very awkward for two young guys wanting to laugh and joke around with each other.
Once we were seated a lady brought us a glass of water and told us she would be back with the glass jug they leave on the table. Never once saw that lady again while we were there. Our server was the only one in the section and was rather busy. He had a table of 6 and about 4 tables of 2. He shouted from the other side that he would be right with us 15 minutes went by and he come over to the table. We had asked a few question about some wines that i had never heard of and he put off the attitude that we were bothering him with the questions.
Once we ordered it took another 10 mines for the wine to even come to our table. The restaurant was not that busy for it to take that long for a glass of wine to come to the table. When the glasses of wine came to the table the server placed them down and ran off to the other tables. We both looked at our glass and looked at each other we were disgusted. Our glasses were covered in finger prints and made was still dirty. it looked like it was never washed. I waited for him to come back to the table and told him that i need a glass of wine because of the state of the glass at that point he asked if we wanted to order. With the level of service we had received to that point we decided it would be best if we drank our wine and left.
With all the wine bars opening up around the city 5th and Wine should step the level of service. There is no reason why we should have received such horrible service when a restaurant wasnt even half full. I am hoping that next time i try this place it will be of better quality as i am a concierge for one of the resorts in the valley and with the level of service i received i would never recommended this to any of my guest. -

A solid 3.5 stars. My husband and I went here for a late dinner last Sunday evening. The restaurant is very cute.
The service was really slow. It took at least 5 minutes for our waitress to come get our drink orders. I think she was the only waitress working, but there were only 4 tables in the restaurant so that's not really an excuse! She was also slow coming back to get our food order and bringing us the check.
I got a glass of white sangria which was OK. I'm used to sangria that has fruit in it, not just an orange wedge and a maraschino cherry garnishing the glass. My husband got one of the specialty martini's. I can't remember which one, but he enjoyed it.
We shared the antipasto plate and I got a small strawberry and gorgonzola salad. Everything on the antipasto plate was really good, but for $15 I just expected a little more cheese. There was maybe 2-3oz of cheese on the entire plate. They let you choose 4 cheeses which is nice, but I'd almost rather choose 2 or 3 and get more! The meats were plentiful though, and very good. My salad was incredible. For a small salad it was pretty big and it was delicious. It came with honey glazed pecans on it and they gave me a lot of pecans. We ended our meal with the chocolate mouse with raspberries. It was pretty good, my husband seemed to enjoy it more than I did though.
I would definitely come back and give a few more of the menu items a try! -

Laid back yet trendy dining spot in Old Town Scottsdale, I'm glad tried it out.
We came in on a Friday night at 8:00 and we were able to get a table right away. We sat on the patio where they had a guy on the keyboard going to town with some jazz music, very nice ambiance. I ordered their signature bloody Mary and it hit the spot, easy on the tomato juice, just like I like 'em. For apps we had the tomato and basil bruschetta, the bread wasn't that great. The menu had a nice selection of seafood, pasta and a nice steak but I settled on a burger which was cooked to perfection, very delicious. I could only take a few bites and packed the rest to go, super huge burger.
The server was quick to bring out the drinks and food but she disappeared after that. While we were eating our meal some random guy came up to our table and sat down. We were both too polite to tell him to leave because he meant no harm and was obviously drunk; he just sat there talking to us while we ate... awkwarrrrd. We kept trying to flag down the server to get our tab so we could bounce out but she never looked our direction when she was visiting the other tables. We left as quickly as possible. -

I wanted to take hubby out...just because.
I'm such a great wife *patting myself*
We shared 6 huge bruchettas (whatever in on the list) and fried calamari. Serious bruschetta! I loved it all but the bland tomato relish one. Needed a little zing to it This was enough food for both of us for late dinner and drinks.
I had the awesome Rootbeer Martini (rootbeer vodka, vanilla cream liquor, vanilla cream)...two of 'em. No wonder I had to take my wedding ring off the next day from the bloat! Alcohol and bread does it everytime!
Hubby's fave is merlot. I think he chose the only one on the list which is Causino from Chile. He also had a couple of glasses.
I was excited to see a KIDS MENU for next time!
Cool, trendy and casual decor. I feel like someone is looking at me with puppy dog eyes at all times...creepy. We might opt for patio seating on our next visit. -

Walked in for a glass of red during happy hour. I noticed a rather interesting Pinor Noir from the Russian River Valley, Picket Fence. I order up. The aroma and a sip suggest a romantic wine, gentle with a good dose of berry flavor and a touch of spice. I'm happy and only 5 dollars.
It's quiet in the afternoon. Quiet before the storm I'm guessing. I walk onto a large patio to sit. Really this house is very large. When this place is busy it must be a lot of fun. This is a reasonable and beautiful wine bar to bring a lovely gal. And as you might guess this is a great place for a gal, on her own to go have a glass. -

Went with a friend for Happy Hour last night which runs from 3-6 M-F. Beer and Wells $4, glass wine $5, specialty cocktails $7 (some are usually $10). Apps run between $3-6. We tried a bunch of items: french fries (delicious), fried pickles (super crispy but extremely salty), hummus plate (delicious), and fig/brie/pear plate (disappointing under-ripe pears, lack luster dried figs). My friend got a couple beers. I opted for a Luna martini, which was tasty, and the pomegranate martini which was so medicinal tasting for some reason I couldn't finish it.
They have an outdoor patio but we opted for inside where cool local art is displayed on the walls. I don't know the name of the artist, but I've seen his stuff at one of the local galleries: cartoon-esque dogs done in a bright color palette. Fun and whimsical.
Service was prompt and although we made it in only 20 min before HH ended, our server made sure to come around a 2nd time to get a last min order before 6:00. After looking back at my receipt I realized downing those two drinks quickly resulted in leaving her a hefty tip. Oh well, that was smart on her part then! -

5th and Wine has a very nice date setting. It feels like a fun wine bar and some live soft rock type music playing. I wish the music was a little bit less quiet, as it makes the conversation a little bit challenging.
Other than that, the food and drinks were amazing. I actually just came from having wine, so I tried their Sangria. The white sangria had a very nice light flavor and had a nice citrus acidity. I ordered a strawberry vinagrette salad with fresh strawberries, almonds, and chicken. My friend raved about the wine and mushroom burger he ordered. I rarely order vegetarian food when I am out, but I got a little taste of it, and it was very flavorful. -
Review from V M.

So IT IS a wine bar but we go here for the food and cocktails. Honestly, we have yet to order a bottle of wine or even peruse the wine list :l
One of the reasons this place brings us back so often is the oh-so-delicious bruschetta! Just your most common bruschetta: bread, cherry tomato, basil, mozzarella version is so scrumptious! Quality moz and flavor packed toms kick this dish way up with the best of the best.
To go with my meal, I order the Moscow Mule. Boy oh boy do these guys make a kick butt MM! It comes in an authentic copper mug- nice touch.
For the main, I have only had the Chicken Picatta (Pan seared, green beans, egg noodles, lemon-caper butter sauce). I sub the egg noodles for bowtie. Truthfully, the 1st time was the best ever and the other times after haven't reached the yumminess I first encountered. So now I can say I'm ready to try other dishes on the menu.
Until summer hit we were seated on the patio, but lately we've been seated inside. Being dog lovers I really dig the colorful, artistic dog portraits, particularly the Last Supper rendition.
Oh, and as I mentioned in my quick tip: Live music Thurs-Sat. The musicians stick with fun bar type tunes that you will be sure to know. -

I think we have another place to eat and drink good wine. My girlfriend and I are always looking for a good place to eat along out bicycle route. It is always nice if we can find a place that has $5 wine too!
I was very excited to see they had fried dill pickles. If you have never had them, you much try. They were awesome.
I had the Tomato and Mozzarella Panini with the corn chowder. Which I would order again. My friend ordered the grilled cheese Panini made with white cheddar and Brie with the tortilla soup. We split the sandwich so we could both try them and would not order hers again. Not enough flavor, but would probably be good with another cheese combination.
Over all, this is a keeper. Being in downtown old Scottsdale, it is a place we can bring out-of-towners also.
We will be back. -

I've been to 5th and Wine a number of times. Once for dinner and a few times for happy hour. For dinner, it wasn't my favorite. I had an entree salad that was OK, and I thought a lot of the dinner options were overpriced for what you get. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, I dunno.
5th and Wine, however, is one of my favorite happy hours in town. Their bruschetta is very, very good. I especially like the apple, fig and brie with honey, and the prime rib with horseradish. The Parmesan fries are ridiculous...I always want to get two orders but don't in fear of the judgement that would meet me from the server, other patrons, the rest of the table, etc. They have a great Caesar salad on that menu as well, and it's $3...Crazy. The the happy hour menu is full of delicious options, the prices are fantastic and they also offer all of their wines by the glass for $5. I can come hungry, leave full and the tab for two people is usually around $25...Pretty sweet deal.
I'm sure I'll go back and give their dinner menu another try, but in the meantime I highly recommend their happy hour. -

After experiencing a whole new light to 5th and Wine, I figured it was time for an update. I ate here during Yelp Eats Week. I wanted to try out the special menu items, but some of them were a little out of my comfort zone for 5th and Wine. Typically, when I visit this adorable wine bar, I opt for a salad, a panini or bruschetta. It's just the tri-fecta I think of when I go to any wine bar. But during Yelp Eats, some other items were featured on their menu, including the Agave Salmon and pesto chicken pasta.
This review will talk about the new items I tasted during my last visit.
The Agave Salmon was a surprising treat! Sometimes I get bored with Salmon. It's not the menu item I dream of, but it's the one I order a lot of times when I'm watching my waistline. I decided to order the Agave Salmon from 5th and Wine. I expected your typical salmon, which it was, but then they threw me a curve ball with the Agave marinade. It was a candy-like glaze that was perfectly paired with the Salmon. I could drink a glass of this Agave marinade it was so delicious.
I also tried the Pesto Chicken Pasta. It was indeed decadent and carbtastic. I wouldn't probably order it as my main dish, but it's a great dish to order for the table to everyone can have a little bite. Or if you're really in the mood for a carbo-load, order it just for you!
Some other items I tried were the Parmesan french fries, prosciutto wrapped breadsticks and the hummus. All three were delicious and right up my alley. I was pleasantly surprised with the prosciutto wrapped breadstickts because typically breadsticks bore me. But when they wrapped them in my salty friend, prosciutto, it added the perfect twist to the typically boring stick.
After my dinner visit to 5th and Wine, I will definitely remember to switch up my meals here and not just order the typical wine bar food from the menu.Listed in: My Pledge to Join Yelp and…, Old Town Favorites, 1, 2...10 Drinks, Favorite Old Town Lunch Spots, Best Happy Hour

We went to this place on a Wednesday evening and I was surprised by how many people were there! The bar was full and most tables in the main dining room were taken. We missed happy hour, but I was still pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices. We got a good bottle of wine for $30 which was perfect for the two of us.
Our waitress immediately greeted us and asked for our drink order. We got a bruschetta appetizer, the steak was definitely the best. I ordered the tomato and mozarella panini which was delicious. It was just the right amount of food for me. My boyfriend ordered the bison burger which was more delicious and perfectly cooked medium. We both chose salads which I must say was a mistake because it left us both wanting more. Consequently we ordered a side of fries which were amazing! Definitely stick with the fries. They were heavenly and gone quickly.
I will definitely revisit 5TH and Wine. It has a great atmosphere, good food, good drinks, and reasonable prices. I must say I'm a fan and look forward to the next visit! -

Went in for a glass of wine, stayed for dinner. Bartender Randi was very knowledgeable, very helpful.
A new favorite! -

Another 5 star visit to 5th and Wine this past Saturday night! Went out with friends to celebrate a birthday and of course we were not disappointed.
I know I said last time I would try something new but damn that beef bourguignon is good....I promise myself though, next time I go, I'm getting the chicken pot pie. Birthday girl got it and I had a taste...O.M.G. the crust was flakey and the stuffings were absolutely AMAZING!
Husband had the 5th and Wine burger as did another friend. That is really an amazing burger. It is just perfect.
Appetizers included the fried pickles, the cheese platter and the antipasto and each was delicious and served at perfect temperature. Our drinks were kept filled and the alcohol was flowing...well except for me...pregnant lady enjoyed her iced tea though! :) My hubby and a friend enjoyed rum and cokes and actually had to ask for the coke can to be brought to the table so they could water down the drinks! Never had that happen before so that shows that you are definitely getting what you paid for in the drink department.
We even enjoyed dessert which included a brownie sundae for the birthday girl and an ENORMOUS slice of cheesecake. The cheesecake was so big I thought we were eating at Claim Jumper!
Service was perfect as always--attentive, friendly, and never intrusive. Hot food came out hot and cold food came out cold. Dishes were cleared promptly which is something that is important to me. I hate when the dirties are just left sitting there.
Great music, great fun, fabulous food...again, why have you not eaten at 5th and Wine? I can't wait to go back!5 Previous Reviews: Show all »

I had seen several things online and around the city about 5th and Wine and I had also walked by it a few times before, one of those times hearing a great singer covering Damien Rice. Usually I don't want bands in my restaurants of bars, but I am HAPPY to listen to this guy anytime, and he's there a lot.
My bf and I were going to meet our friends there for dinner and drinks. None of us had been there before and on my way I started to wonder if they take reservations and if we were in for a long wait. I called in and they said yes they do recommend resos on weekend nights and I said, well 4 of us will be there in a half hour and he said, we'll put ya down and come find the manager Scott at the front when you get here. Great! That was encouraging.
My bf and I got there first and we found Scott to let us know we were there but we'd grab a drink until the other half of our party arrived. I grabbed a White Sangria and my bf got a Sleep Dog Leg Humper Hefeweizen, awesome name. Scott came over about 5 minutes after to ask if our party was almost here because he has an open table for us. I told him they weren't here yet and thanks for checking in and go ahead and seat someone in front of us. Then the other half of us arrived, I let Scott know, and he said they were clearing and table and in a few minutes it would be ready. A few minutes later they took us to our table and apologized for the wait. Are you kidding me? They were SO ACCOMMODATING and I'm from LA, this is no wait. Once my whole party was there we might have spent 5 minutes waiting and really it wasn't waiting but saying our hello's. So courteous, I love this staff.
We chatted over some good food and good drinks. The waiter was attentive but not interrupting our conversation. We were put in the back room, which was unfortunately away from the singer but it was a little quieter for us to chat.
I want to head back here for happy hour soon and maybe bring my parents when they visit. -

I always liked 5th and Wine because it's close to where I live and they serve a really extensive list of wines. I have had the brie panini, the beef bourguignon and the bison burger. All were very tasty. I especially like their fries which are seasoned with parsley and lemon zest. Yum! The BF loves the hummus plate with is decked out with bread, olives, cucumbers and tzatziki sauce.
They have live music which is nice when it is outside. When they have it indoors, it gets so loud in the restaurant that you can't hear yourself think which defeats the purpose of going out and trying to have dinner conversation. Service is attentive and most of the servers know their wines so they can be helpful in selecting a drink to go with your dinner.
I have never made a reservation and never needed to since my guests and I just walk in and we are always seated right away. But a few weeks ago when my party of 4 walked in at around 6pm , we were only offered a a general seating area with no table and was told we only had 1 hour to dine because the restaurant was booked solid! So call ahead just in case because the place does get booked up.
Great place to have a casual dinner, try a new wine and walk around Old Town.
