FIVE Restaurant

Went early on a weeknight, and the place was quite crowded. Bar area is a bit chaotic. People sit and get drinks, some are waiting for tables, and some are not. When we went to take a seat at the bar, a couple from a different section of the bar got up, cut us off, and took the seats the staff had just cleaned off for us. Staff didn't say anything. We then had to wait for the staff to clean the bar seats that the couple had just vacated. Made no sense to us, and honestly, a little rude. Food was tasty, and other than the staff not speaking up earlier, they were great.

Awesome date night! We sat outside where they have really warm heaters and even a table with fire in it. The pizza is excellent - one of the best we’ve ever had and we’ve had a lot! I loved the arugula salad. The hubs had the beet salad (this one is a good sharing size). The panna cotta dessert was yummy with fresh strawberries. But the star of the show here is the pizza! Make reservations and enjoy!

I have heard of this place for years, but didn’t get around to experiencing it until recently for my anniversary. It’s worth absolutely checking out. There are lots of pizza joints around edmonds, but this is one that stands out. Atmosphere feels a little expensive and upscale, but gives off the impression that they don’t take themselves too seriously. This all comes off in the best way possible. Service was extra friendly and attentive without hovering or having to flag someone down. We started with standard baguette & butter, the bread came hot and crisp with a wonderfully pillowy inside. The Diablo prawns were the star of the show for appetizers, however. Jumbo juicy (and might I add beautifully cooked, not overdone) prawns with a kick of spice and buttery green beans were what really blew me away. It’s a hearty appetizer that spice lovers will enjoy and find pleasant, not overbearing. It had me dancing a little in my seat. We ordered the prosciutto pizza with arugula. I was excited when I realized the pizza came with chili infused oil, I highly recommend adding that to your pizza. The pizza does not come oily like a lot of pizza joints, so using this adds an extra umph of flavor and texture. The pies come wonderful themselves, with great tasting combinations and fresh ingredients, but that chili oil really takes it to the next level. That being said you can absolutely go here and still enjoy a meal with no spice, but man did this little joint surprise me. I was so impressed and had a wonderful time.

Our first time eating at FIVE. It was quite the culinary experience. We shared a Cesar salad and the baked Goat Cheese. Both had excellent flavors. After that we had small pizzas: Margarita and Pear/ Gorgonzola. Delicious. And sure, we shared a dessert, chocolate chip cookie. Service was great too. We will definitely come back. Five stars well deserved.

Good service but Average food and drinks. We tried the signature cocktails - potent but lacked flavor. For appetizers we ordered the butterflied prawns - take a look at the picture and you’ll know how underwhelming it was. For entrees we got the pork chop - pork was overcooked and hard to even cut through with the knife. The linguini is the only reason for the 3stars instead of a two. There’s better places you’ll find in Edmonds with a similar menu and price range.
