    The food and service were excellent. The noise level and music were louder than I would have liked.

    We have now had two business brunches at Five Horses and the staff has been incredibly accommodating both times. The food is good, drinks are great, service exceptional. Timing was impeccable despite having 20 people in our party. They were organized, friendly, and flexible. I’m sure we will be back and I would recommend this spot to others! Thank you, Five Horses team!

    Always a great experience. I love their thoughtful vegan options. And the staff is always fantastic, the best in Davis Square!! They always go out of their way to make us (including my two very young sons) feel so welcome.
