Tonight,
I
dined
with
my
newer
foodie
friend
at
Five
Senses
Restaurant
&
Catering
and
let
me
go
on
and
tell
you
it's
worth
it.
She
made
the
reservation,
so
I
was
able
to
walk
in
and
be
seated
while
she
was
on
her
way
(look,
I'm
early
everywhere
lol).
I
ordered
an
old
fashioned
(you
know
I
did)
and
perused
the
menu.
Everything
looked
amazing.
I
had
already
looked,
but
they
had
some
specials
on.
By
the
time
my
friend
arrived,
I
could
tell
this
place
was
going
to
be
in
between
Steakhouse
Five
and
Primrose
Table
in
terms
of
service
type
for
me.
There
are
places
for
everything,
and
I
am
not
going
to
say
one
type
is
superior
than
the
other.
For
me,
Steakhouse
Five
is
stuffy.
I
like
to
laugh
and
joke.
Primrose
is
more
my
speed.
You
can
cut
up
with
the
server
but
also
get
superior
service.
Five
Senses
seemed
between
that
though
slightly
leaning
toward
Steakhouse
Five.
A
little
stuffy,
but
our
server
seemed
cool.
She
was
kind
and
attentive,
respectful
and
knowledgeable.
She
kept
my
small
water
glass
full
99%
of
the
time.
I
say
99%
because
I
chugged
it
and
filled
it
again
at
one
point.
There
was
not
enough
time
for
her
to
see
if
empty!
(They
leave
a
carafe
of
water
on
the
table;
I
didn't
rush
the
kitchen
or
anything.)
We
started
with
the
octopus
appetizer
on
the
menu
plus
the
chorizo
quesadilla,
which
was
a
special.
When
I
tell
you
that
this
octopus
was
the
most
tender
octopus
I
have
ever
eaten.
They
brought
out
a
steak
knife
for
it,
but
I
probably
could
have
cut
it
by
pinching
it
between
my
fingers.
It
was
like
butter,
the
smashed
potatoes
and
chorizo
perfectly
cooked
and
paired
so
well
as
not
to
overpower
the
octopus.
It
was
really
a
perfect
plate.
The
chorizo
quesadilla
special
was
really
good,
though
not
as
adventurous.
It
was
just
a
solid
plate.
For
entrees,
she
had
the
chicken
rigatoni
because
she
said
she'd
never
had
pasta
there.
We
all
know
I
rarely
order
pasta
out
because
I
make
it
at
home
haha.
But
she
loved
that
pasta,
and
the
bite
I
took
was
really
good.
Nicely
sauced
without
swimming.
It
stuck
to
the
noodles
in
the
right
way.
I
had
the
lamb
shank
(and
you
can
laugh
at
me
trying
to
fit
it
in
one
of
my
containers
lol).
It
was
also
so
tender
I
didn't
need
a
knife.
Seriously.
Fork
tender,
falling
off
the
bone,
cut
like
butter...
However
you
need
it
said.
It
was
deliciously
tender,
and
the
greens
on
top
were
perfectly
seasoned
and
paired.
I
didn't
eat
many
beans
(most
of
them
are
in
my
takeaway
container),
but
the
ones
I
did
eat
seemed
perfectly
cooked.
We
finished
off
with
the
blueberry
lemon
dessert
(minus
the
ginger
and
almond
for
my
dining
companion).
Lemon
and
blueberry
are
just
the
perfect
pair,
and
they
shined
here
too.
Simple,
moist,
and
the
perfect
size
for
2
people.
We
each
got
2
drinks
and
we
added
an
appetizer
to
the
date
night
special
(it's
on
Monday
nights
and
it's
worth
it),
so
we
spent
about
$150+
tip.
I
couldn't
do
it
every
Monday,
but
it's
worth
putting
in
the
rotation
for
sure.
I
hope
you'll
give
them
a
shot!
