Omg - this place is wonderful. The food was wonderful and the wine was to die for. Can't wait for warmer weather and we can sip our glasses in open air. Highly recommend!

Lovely space, the staff was so nice to us and friendly about answering questions, bag hooks at the bar (so important!), pretty good wine (subjective so can't really leave a review about this part), great menu descriptions for the different wines including a little about how they are made. Two of us got a flight and one of us just got a non-alcoholic drink, no food. The bathrooms are what I think of as European-style with fully closed stalls which I like. The bathrooms are also non-gendered which I also like, but threw my dad a bit. So clean! Would go back!

Let me just start out by saying our experience at our five wines was impeccable. Grace dazzled our table with luxurious wines Her customer service skills was just so quality. It’s hard to find out these days visiting the East Coast being south west people in all… I would even compare it to Southern hospitality!Grace brought my wife to tears helping her read the menu because she’s a diagnosed dyslexic and needed the extra step! What a matronly gal would come here again! And definitely Highly recommend! ❤️

We have always visited this quaint winery and supported its business, however, after recommending it to my nephew and his wife - I have advice for the owners. It's likely you will get patrons who come in for your food, desserts, ambience and not for your wine. You will get patrons who enjoy your business who do not drink - for whatever reason and this should be respected. My nephew brought his wife here the other night for a date night and told the staff they didn't drink, but wanted menus. They were then asked 3x "...okay, so just the food? Really? Um okay" in addition to weird under the breath chuckles and stares. From three different individuals, I might add - apparently the worst response came from two men (one older who laughed at them and one younger who just awkwardly stared). YES - just the food. They wanted 30 minutes away from their kids to enjoy being together. I realize alcohol is the focal of your business and the check, but shouldn't every individual be welcome if they're spending money? Making a recommendation is an endorsement, which I won't make again. Less judgment and more warmth would mean a lot for ALL your customers.

Recently visited after driving by for months.. It was a slow day, but it was a great first experience as we were able to learn about the company and their thoughts behind their menu. It's a short menu consisting of, let's say artisan pizza and then some cheese options. It's a great pairing, and both our pizzas were delicious. They also have events in house which we plan on sampling (get it, wine tasting ?). Lastly, the service was great with no hesitation on our many questions.. So if you're local or visiting and enjoy wine, it's a great stop along the way...

We had a wonderful experience here last night. The wine flights were generous and delicious. We were impressed by all the food we got (cheese and charcuterie plate, white pizza, chocolate caramel tart, flourless chocolate cake). The service was excellent and the ambience was great.

Very tasty Chardonnay and Syrah! Check out their wine and cheese events - super interesting and a fun, relaxed atmosphere.

What a great spot. Hope they do well and can be here for years to come. Came with another couple on a Thursday night. we were seated quickly and the place was 3/4 full at 6pm. We ordered flights to sample as much as we could and nothing disappointed. All were tasty and refreshing. We had two pizzas, both great and filling. We also had a cheese board and tried some new local favorites. We will be back again.

As a Downingtown resident and wine lover, I have been to R5 a handful of times now. I have always had wonderful service - the servers are attentive, willing to ask questions, and check in just the right amount. I've only had the pizza once but it was enjoyable! Also shared charcuterie with friends before and the only feedback was we wish there were some crackers with the meat and cheese, but everything was still tasty and enjoyed. I'm a white wine drinker so the options are smaller, but still wonderful and I always enjoy what I get!
Renee Long
Excellent service. Nice selections of wine and beers. Loved the charcuterie and cheese board. Would love to go back!
Great for a a nice “quick” drink. Went on a Saturday afternoon and had a wonderful flight. Was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the wines! The employees were kind and attentive, but also not too much (if that makes sense) as we were enjoying catching up.

My wife and I stopped in here on a Thursday night for their "pizza and a carafe of wine for $30" special, which I believe is every Thursday night (for the quality of pizza and wine, a steal and a half if you ask me). The first pizza and carafe was so good that we stayed for another round! The pizzas were a decent size and had great flavor. Not overly greasy, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. Plus the crust was perfectly charred. One pizza may be enough for 2 people, but I'd order a pizza per person to be safe.The wine was great too. They clearly are wine experts and take pride in a sophisticated wine selection. The carafe contains enough for two heavy pours. The restaurant was trendy and had a good vibe to it. There was plenty of seating and we walked in and got seated right away. There appears to be event space available for rent.The service was awesome. Everyone was nice and checked in on us multiple times throughout the meal. I'll definitely be coming back here.

Always a pleasure to visit R Five. The atmosphere is wonderful and the servers knowledgeable. We had a delicious cheese plate and a pistachio and red onion pizza. It was one of the best pizzas we have ever eaten. Love their wine flights!

Our first time here. Atmosphere was excellent with outdoor/indoor bar seating. Wines and pizza were excellent and John was the best. Would like to see a bit more variety on food menu but what we had was excellent. Definitely will return

Great food, great ambiance and amazing wine! ??? I really loved going here with my friends the other night. The wine was so flavorful, I have to come back to just pick up a bottle of wine ? for the weekend because it was so good! It's California wine, which I was excited since I'm not a fan of Pennsylvania red wine ?. Now I have to go back and take my husband because it was just that good! If you are wondering if if it's worth a visit...100% yes! You won't be disappointed ?.
