    My wife and I make the drive from Atlanta every year for our anniversary dinner. The food, service and ambiance is always great, but this year was the best meal ever!! The apps (pimento cheese & french onion) dip were great. We shared the strozzapreti and it was terrific. The grilled cobia didn't disappoint, but the chuck roast (yes, chuck roast) was one of the best entrees I've had in years. Finished the night with the chocolate cremeux. If you like chocolate, you shouldn't miss this dessert. If you don't like chocolate, you should order it anyway. It was amazing! Great night as always. See you again in one year (unless I can sneak in another visit).

    So sad to say this because this has been one of my favorite Athens restaurants. But it has gone downhill with the food. It is expensive & unremarkable. Not even well presented. It seems as if the chef has lost their passion for food. Staff and wine list are good

    The menu selections were too sparse. I had trouble finding something that I would like. While the cobia was delicious the serving was too small to be considered a large plate. We enjoyed the chicken. The waiter failed to order the duck. It got so late by then that we said to forget it. The drinks were ok. All in all we would consider it to have been mediocre dinner. Maybe would be my answer to your question below. I would suggest to check the menu before they go.

    This is my favorite place in Athens. The food is amazing, the service is fantastic, and it's blissfully quiet unlike almost every restaurant in Athens. It's not cheap but we had three "small plates" between two people and it was more than enough.

    We were celebrating two birthdays between the four of us dining midweek. All of us are long time patrons of Five and Ten, and this meal was a huge success. One of us is vegan and our servers took special care to make sure his meal was as excellent as the rest of ours were. Special kudos to the scallops, the corn soup and the dessert. Thanks to the chef and all the wait staff for making our night very special.

    Love a printed menu custom for dinner service of the day. We knew the names of our chef and staff, and had adequate warning for meals that needed lots of lead time. The small plates had a nice variety of foods, and arrived at temp and very fresh. The scallop mousseline was surprising and delicious. The tomato risotto had a light smack of umami and was cooked to a perfect creamy texture. With appetizer ("snack") and drinks, it was the perfect light dinner. Highly recommend!

    I've been a 5&10 regular since Hugh first opened the doors in the original 5 points location and have always been an avid supporter, diner, fan and promoter of his exquisite eats. More and more, however, it feels like Hugh has left the 5&10 on an erratic cruise control in his rearview mirror. I've not (yet) soured on this undeniable Athens treasure, but now when dining there, I know not to expect the 5&10 of old. Sadly, I've moved the bar pretty low, just so I won't be totally disappointed. Had I not done this, last night would've been a huge let down.

    Great and quiet but elegant place for dining. re: service. Could have been better. Smiling waitress would not raise the outdoor shade due to belief that the sun would shine on another table. There were no patrons at the table of concern during my entire meal. If anything, the blind could have been raised half way, or/and until new customers sere seated at the table of concern re: food. -no complimentary bread. Customer have to order bruschetta -large pieces of lettuce served with the cobia. Thought this was strange, thinking that almost any other offering would have been better to serve with the fish re: drinks. Good; the usual large chunk of ice served with ~2 drops of Old Fashioned
