“An exceptionally good dining experience! We have eaten here on numerous occasions, but never in the other dining room away from the bar and main dining room. Celebrating our 33rd anniversary, they gave us a great table near the window, and the staff all signed a card that we received once we sat down. Other than a few extra minutes waiting due to how popular and busy it was, the service and food were excellent. It's not a huge menu, just a good one. Food is moderately priced with nice portions and delicious! One of the best dining establishments in Merced.“

“This is the Creamy Mushroom Braised Beef Risotto and the Costolette Brasate and Gnocchi !!! The first dish were boneless braised beef short ribs topped in a creamy mushroom sauce served over a side of risotto and asparagus! The meat was nice for a braised beef dish, and the sauce was not super bad! The mushrooms were super good in my opinion, and I wasn’t really a big fan of the risotto because I’m not really used to cold rice, but it was good! The asparagus was pretty good! The second dish were braised beef short ribs too but with a savory marsala gravy sauce served with a rosemary butter pesto gnocchi and asparagus! The sauce for this dish was soooo much better than the mushroom sauce in my opinion, so the marsala sauce is definitely a good choice to get here! It was thick, savory, and a dark red color! The gnocchi had a strong pesto taste, and it was nice to eat! We also were given bread and soup! We tried the minestrone and the seafood bisque! The minestrone soup didn’t taste like Olive Garden’s, but it did taste much more authentic and real! The seafood bisque was superrr good, and it was filled with so much flavor! We went on Valentine’s Day, so it was a bit busy, but the workers did a great job serving us!“

“Loved our visit to Five Ten! Great menu, delicious food, attentive waitress. I had the lemon shrimp pasta and a dinner salad. Others had the carnitas sandwich, patty melt, poke bowl, asparagus gouda soup, and fried pickles. It was all great! Positive things to note, all of it was delicious, especially the pasta, carnitas sandwich, French fries, asparagus soup, and blue cheese dressing! Room for improvement was the freshness of the salad greens. Also, the poke needed to be served with rice, and tea/sodas seemed weak. But all in all, this place is great ??“

“It's Olive Garden. The food was good, if slightly expensive. But then again, so is everything these days. Service was excellent - very attentive and highly accurate waiter (we were a large group and he got EVERYTHING right). The facility is very attractive and in a good location with plenty of parking. I was pleased with my visit and would recommend.“
