The overall experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. While the service was attentive and the atmosphere pleasant, the food and seating left much to be desired. I ordered the steak and eggs, and unfortunately, it was a disappointment. The steak lacked flavor and was barely recognizable as a proper cut of meat. It felt like an afterthought rather than a highlight of the meal.The staff was friendly and prompt. The ambiance was also enjoyable, with a nice vibe that made the space feel welcoming.

The Christmas jingle tavern was beautiful!! The lobster scampi and drunken noodles tastes phenomenal and the drinks tastes smooth and tasteful while still strong enough to get a good kick. Will come back again for the view and great tasting food and service

Disappoiing. The food was DRY. Ee were a group of 9. A few of us had the chicken and waffles. The waffles were extremely hard and flavorless. The chicken breast strips were initially fried hard (dry) and covered in chili powder & tajin. It was saturated in cooking oil. It honestly was disgusting. Our Waiter offered to bring chicken without the chili rub and even that chicken breast were so dried outband saltless.
Sone other guests ordered the surf and turf omelete. It was Sooo dry also. Both the steak and shrimp were overccoked. No peppers or onion or sauce. Honestly, the menu needs a complete overhaul. Do better Exec chef.

Cute little restaurant with nice atmosphere. The food was also nice albeit a little of the pricey side. The sea-cutterie board was delicious. Cocktails were also great.
The restaurant is away from everything so the food is cooked from within the hotel and brought out to you. Bathrooms are also inside the hotel so you have to walk a little ways to get to them.

We order the sea bass and the scallops and they were the worst dishes that we had ever had in a restaurant. It was actually shocking at this "fine dining" restaurant. The sauce in the scallop dish tasted like cheap, sweetened gravy with frozen peas. Really, the worst.

Please do not go to this location not only does this location, not accommodate. Guess they are very behind as far as food timing as far as food etiquette. I have never been to a restaurant and receive cold waffles and pancakes. Some gentleman was walking around. I'm assuming clearing the tables decided to take our drinks from the rack and leave the drinks on the table not only where we disappointed and saddened because we are guest from Sacramento California, this place was listed on TikTok. It had great reviews and I'm just under the impression that all of these reviews must've been done by the staff members there because there's no way that a customer service guess would have enjoyed their experience.

We came for the seasonal pop up and loved it! We had the ribeye steak and lobster scampi. Ribeye was so juicy and cooked great, scampi was light and fresh. We also had the 2 mocktails and they were great.

Went there for dinner after a day at Universal for a birthday celebration. Didn’t know what to expect but it turned out great!
Our server Hailey was awesome, very knowledgeable and took great care of us.
The food was excellent: we had the pork loin and the scallops and the chef really knew what he was doing; cooked to perfection in unusual sauces, with a perfect result!
The place is a pop up (glorified tent) but they made it look like a country cottage.
Highly recommended!

Visited Five on the Hill to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, but unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. We had a reservation for two, but two other parties without reservations were seated ahead of us by the hostess, Natalie. After waiting for 10 minutes, we were finally seated, though it took nearly 20 more minutes before anyone even brought us water or checked in on us.

Throughout our meal, Natalie stood nearby to seat other guests but seemed to overlook our table. When we briefly stepped away to the restrooms, I even mentioned we’d be back, hoping she would inform the waitstaff. However, when we returned, all our cocktails and drinks had been cleared from the table. Natalie, who had watched this happen, didn’t stop the staff from removing our items. She then expected us to wait another 30 minutes for them to bring all the drinks we had back out on the table.

Natalie’s dismissive attitude and the lack of attentiveness from the staff made this celebration much less enjoyable than we’d hoped. Overall, the service was lacking, and Natalie’s behavior left us disappointed on my girlfriend’s special day. We won’t be returning.
