    The manager was very helpful with our reservation as we had two elderly guests with mobility issues. Waitstaff was great. But the food? Way overpriced. $26 for a lackluster burger and tots? C'mon guys....

    It's an old favorite of ours. There is something for everyone in our family and the food is great and so is the location.

    Server was pleasant, but not very attentive. Waited a long time before he came for initial drink orders (which also took a long time to arrive). Didn’t check in regularly to see if we needed anything. He was having to handle too many tables maybe? Coordination with the kitchen was poor. Entrees came out not long after apps arrived. Apps were tasty and good size. My steak and cheese sandwich was disappointing, didn’t have much between the roll.

    Nice food and beverage selection. Open and airy because it was a beautiful Sunday noontime. A little breezy but comfortable enough. Food was prepared well and quickly. Wait staff was attentive, professional, and helpful.

    Always love Five Horses - all the food is fantastic, fresh, also great cocktails. Watched the hockey playoffs, they were kind enough to seat us at a table by the TV and put the game on for us. We also had a great server.
