YOSHIE'S CHICKEN:

AMBIANCE: I’d visited the restaurant once prior to this review and I have to say it’s such a hipster spot! Its corner location and open café features make up for the parking challenge (valet is offered). The lighting was dim and the whimsical over-sized chalkboard menu was a nice touch. Bar, booth and table seating inside and on the patio are available.
SERVICE: On my first visit, a Friday night dinner, the restaurant was packed but the hostess sat us quickly and our waiter was more than attentive. We had a little one in our party and our waiter was more than happy to put in a special kitchen request for toasted bread to suit the mini palate! I grabbed an after work snack for this visit and with such pleasant weather it was a treat to be seated near the large open doors.
PIMENTO CHEESE N "JELLY":

MENU: The concept of 5 is a simple menu. With its 5, snacks (appetizers), entrée’s and red and white wines, the minimalist menu does not affect the food quality! 5 also has nightly entrée specials such as Shrimp Rigatoni, Crab Cakes and Ms. Anne’s fried chicken and they top of the menu with a dessert of White Chocolate Bread Pudding!
VERDICT: 5 is definitely on my frequent visit list.
Though the menu choices are limited the portions and the flavor are more than
accommodating. On my dinner visit I ordered the panéed chicken with mac and
cheese and the portion was so generous that I had lunch for the next day. The
chicken was awesome and while I wasn't a fan of the mac and cheese I've noticed
it's currently being replaced with mashed potatoes. I have to admit I
also devoured one and a half orders of bread pudding! With friendly and efficient staff, good food and a cool venue to match 5 gets a high 5!
