    I had supper with a friend at Five West recently to catch up on old times. We met during the supper hour and the place was packed and filled with energy. We had a reservation so we had no trouble getting a table. We shared a glass of wine, a flatbread, and a delicious drunken blondie for dessert. We had plenty of time to talk and laugh. Typically I go to Five West at "off hours." At those times, it is quiet and relaxing. The restaurant fits multiple needs, and all are very well done from food to atmosphere.

    We loved and enjoyed our delicious entrees! I ordered Rice Bowl, perfectly seared salmon, ginger soy rice, green onions, red peppers, carrots, sriracha aioli & a fried egg. Soooo good! My husband ordered Fiesta Shrimp Bowl Jasmine rice, firecracker shrimp, pineapple mango salsa, cheddar jack cheese, black beans, pickled jalapeños, tortilla strips, creamy avocado sauce & cilantro. Yum , no left overs. Our server was wonderful and enjoyed the outdoor seating.
