The food is very very good considering how affordable most of the menu items are. We have always had really great service, and their wine list is really excellent. As an added bonus, the lighting and seating is very well thought out. None of those horrible high top tables that everyone hates. 10/10!

Chicken was flavorful but overcooked as ma y places do for fear of serving undercooked. Beef tenderloin was very good as were the vegetables. Deserts while I only had one bite, were not only full of presentation but also flavor.

Family single stall bathroom. Very clean. 5 coat hooks, tissue box, paper towels, toilet seat liners. You don't have to fight the toilet paper holder, comes out fluidly. Strong flush. Would come back again

This restaurant is amazing! Decor is classy 20’s Brat Pack swinger style, music is perfect, staff are extra courteous and attentive, never letting drinks go empty, food menu is diverse enough and perfectly prepared and amazing flavor! Prices are a little on the high side but not too unreasonable for an upscale restaurant. Overall one of my favorite restaurants and I highly recommend!!

This was a wine dinner. It seemed that this may have been their 1st wine dinner. The table was beautiful; the dinner very good..though there could be a few improvements regarding some course composition. The wines were good and the pours generous. The wait staff covering the large group( +/- 19 guests) were very attentive. The dessert was FABULOUS! After dinner we were then given a copy of the menu (which previous to this point we did not receive,) along with the wine price list for wines served should we want to purchase. Then it took over 30 minutes to get the bill to each group and all of us became a bit anxious to leave, as it was getting late.
Overall I would return as the food was delicious. Hopefully by then their end servicing will have improved.

Located in side Axis Hotel- This place is super cute with such a fun, upscale vibe! We went on a Monday and it wasn’t busy, which made it even more enjoyable. The drink menu has lots of creative options, and the food was delicious. Service was fine—not bad, but nothing memorable. The atmosphere was definitely the highlight, though the fruit flies buzzing around our drinks were a bit annoying.

Menu doesn't change often enough, but the food is good. Service is good. Atmosphere is nice, but it is basically a hotel lobby.

Delicious
We’ve been to the 5th Avenue Syndicate several times and have always had great food and service, but the last two visits were very disappointing. I ordered a filet medium rare, and it came out medium. The server took it back, but the replacement came out raw in the center. I spoke to the manager, who apologized and offered dessert, but that didn’t make up for not getting the main meal I ordered. I refused to eat it because it was raw, and while they didn’t charge me for the steak, I still left hungry. After this happening twice in just a couple of months, I most likely will not be returning. The photos posted are from another time when we had a great food experience. No photos were taken on the last visit Aug 2025.
I’m not sure if this place is under new management but the first time my steak was not cooked right a female manager made sure it was right and made sure our experience continued to be a pleasant one. They recovered nicely and we continued to have a great time and came back. However, this last time the male manager seemed annoyed that I was making a complaint and did not give me a great feel for this restaurant to come back to. When I will be spending $$$ I expect a steak done to what I ask for.

Since more details were requested, here they are.
The host seemed annoyed that she had to seat us. Maybe she was having an off night. I felt like we offended her by walking into the restaurant.
The wait for drinks and food after being seated was quite long for a restaurant that wasn’t busy. The waitress did apologize stating she had to deliver room service in the hotel, so not blaming her at all, just poor scheduling.
The fried pickles were bland and felt like someone trying to make a usually awesome bar food into something too trendy. They added cheese - sounds tasty but it was the wrong kind for the flavor of pickles combined with egg roll wrappers. The actual pickle pieces were small. One of the six was all cheese, no pickle. The lobster roll had pieces of shell in it and not much flavor, made more obvious by the giant limp piece of lettuce under the lobster meat. Maybe some coleslaw would help.
Menu has *zero* vegetarian entrees.
Bar area is pretty but the seats aren’t that comfortable, table salt wasn’t filled, table light wouldn’t turn on (I don’t think any table’s lights were lit but could be mistaken), and was fairly dim to try and read a menu.
Overall just a really underwhelming experience, especially for that price point. Won’t be coming back.
