Fives Leaves is a lively Australian-New American Bistro. Seasonal menus and the unbeatable ambiance has made it the local hotspot for nearly 15 years.
“Really excellent oysters (“virginia girlfriend” or some name like that, hadnt had them before) and I enjoyed their beef au jus sandwich as well. I think it had slightly too much cheese on it making it a little unwieldy but other than that it was good. The au jus was on the lighter side than what im used to but it still worked well with the sandwich. My wife liked her chicken sandwich. They have a really good ipa on tap (threes brewing) and I liked their chilled red wine as well. Tons of outdoor seating but we opted to sit inside. Overall a solid spot and I’ll look forward to coming back again.”
“Came here twice; once for cocktails at night, and then for breakfast. Cocktails are tasty and bartender was friendly and helpful. Those pancakes were shared by two people and we still left 1/4 on the plate. Dense and delicious! Cinnamon sugar butter was a nice touch. Would return for any meal!!”
“I had lunch at Five Leaves and it was a really lovely experience. The place has a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a laid-back meal. We chose to sit at the outdoor tables and, thanks to a beautiful sunny day, it made everything even more enjoyable. The vibe is lively yet cozy—very much a classic New York spot. I had the sage scrambled eggs sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious: soft, flavorful scrambled eggs with well-balanced ingredients and perfectly toasted bread. A simple dish, but done really well. The staff was very friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. In conclusion: a great spot for lunch in New York, with excellent food, a relaxed atmosphere, and warm service. Highly recommended! ⭐️”
“The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was friendly. We got the pancake for our table (5 people) and it was more than enough plus our individual orders. Chicken blt wasn’t amazing but was good. Cappuccino was great”
“The food was decent, just enough to give a 4. But overall it was extremely slow service, and they did not handle the orders well. Forgetful and very delayed courses. I waited over 45 minutes for one course to the next. That definitely ruined the experience for me but I won’t go as far as to give 3 stars being that there was no rudeness or any attitude problems with the staff. Simply just slow and forgetful service. The burger was assembled in a way where the ingredients will slip out which you can’t even enjoy the experience, but flavor wise it was good. The best thing to me surprisingly was the chicken sandwich. Great flavor,texture, and not super messy to eat. The pancakes were mid I didn’t like the overly runny yet grainy texture. Not inedible or anything, I just expected a lot better flavor and texture from it. Overall the chicken sandwich itself and the quality of food just gets them to a 4 star for me. If it was out of 10 I’d give this spot a 7 really to be fair. But yea try it out yourself and maybe your experience will be better who knows.”
