    Server was pleasant, but not very attentive. Waited a long time before he came for initial drink orders (which also took a long time to arrive). Didn’t check in regularly to see if we needed anything. He was having to handle too many tables maybe? Coordination with the kitchen was poor. Entrees came out not long after apps arrived. Apps were tasty and good size. My steak and cheese sandwich was disappointing, didn’t have much between the roll.

    Nice food and beverage selection. Open and airy because it was a beautiful Sunday noontime. A little breezy but comfortable enough. Food was prepared well and quickly. Wait staff was attentive, professional, and helpful.

    Always love Five Horses - all the food is fantastic, fresh, also great cocktails. Watched the hockey playoffs, they were kind enough to seat us at a table by the TV and put the game on for us. We also had a great server.

    As a vegetarian, I appreciate when a restaurant has numerous options. Five Horses does. Also, I appreciate good non-alcoholic drink options, which they also have (although they’re a bit expensive, IMHO). I had the Mandarine salad with felafel and a non-alcoholic Crimes of Passion. Delicious. My partner had a burger and tots, which he also said were excellent. Our new server (“It’s my second day—excuse me!”) was wonderful. Everything was tasty, efficient and friendly.
