Five and Ten

Awesome food, wonderful service, and a great atmosphere. 100% will visit again!

My second time dining here and again, the experience was absolutely perfect! We were lucky enough to get a reservation during the UGA graduation craziness and dinner at Five and Ten was a lovely end to the day. Everything was delicious, but highlights were the carpaccio, the chilled pea soup, the cornbread, and the rose petal cake. The service is always top notch.

The menu changes and always has a variety of unique and tasty dishes.

Listen, I don't do reviews, but good God, this was one of the most scrumptious dinners I've had, and I got takeout! The restaurant feels upscale, but incredibly cozy and welcoming. All the staff I encountered were amazingly friendly. Probably the best béarnaise I've ever had with that asparagus. I wouldn't be surprised if the gnocchi is a dividing item, since I don't think a subtly sweet, anise-adjacent sauce is for everyone. But I loved it. Lastly, I was deflated when I learned the rose petal cake is a limited time item, because it was just so wonderful. Neither the pistachio nor lemon curd overpowered the flavor, but rather, enhanced the cake as a whole. I am being so serious when I say whoever baked that cake could have their own patisserie. Anyone who worked in the kitchen tonight could sweep Bobby Flay. It pains me that I don't live here. I don't know how every resident of Athens doesn't come here once a week.

We visited 8 years ago. We returned yesterday evening to find out our experience was just as good as the first time. Amazing food, great service, and friendly staff. Thank you !

Well I’ll definitely be voting for Allyssa as best server in the next round Flagpole Favorites! The food was good too.

I was early for my reservation but seated promptly. I started with the chilled corn soup. Amazing. It was a bit funky with crunch green coriander seeds in it, but the taste was great. I then had an evening special of pork belly, which was cooked perfectly. Getting pork belly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside is not easy. It was excellent. My entree was the fried catfish, also excellent. I loved the pepper buerre blanc, and the rice (limpid' Susan) that accompanied it.

This place doesn’t hire people who choose health over the poke, absolutely not supporting this business!!!

Incredible food and service

Sometimes overlooked but truly one of the best restaurants in Athens. Always enjoy just sitting at the bar and taking recommendations from the staff.

Everything was phenomenal; our waiter (didn’t catch his name but he had strawberry blonde hair and a mustache lol) was outstanding - personal, attentive, and helped us have a wonderful Valentine’s day experience!!! We got the risotto, beef tenderloin, scallops and pavlova dessert and it was all spectacular. As a girl with a huge sweet tooth that pavlova was especially exceptional - honestly the most elegant, bright, and scrumptious dessert I’ve ever had!! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

Wait service was very sweet and attentive. I enjoyed the antique house vibe. The food was just not well prepared or flavored. If the price point were more reasonable, it wouldn't have been so disappointing. It just seemed the kitchen staff was rushed as our entrees were undercooked and when a second order came out, it was sent out exactly the same and had to be comped. I'm guessing it was an off night for them, given the other great reviews. I've always heard great things. The celeriac soup was on point and we had many check-ins from the wait staff who did a great job.

Decided to try them for a nice evening get together and was actually blown away. The decor and ambiance was extremely welcoming and relaxing, menu is very diverse and seemed fairly priced for the offerings that had (will touch on this again), our server Teresa was amazing, knowledgeable on menu and drinks and then everything started to come out. Simply WOW !!!!! I was blown away with the quality of product and execution. From the freshness of the bread to the Serrano Ham and even the Mushroom Risotto; I am stunned that the menu is under priced based on the products they are putting out. Teresa was spot on with her recommendation with the drinks to perfectly match what we were looking for.

Fantastic restaurant. One of the best in Athens. The menu is not expansive, but there is something for everyone and everything is extraordinary. And they can readily accommodate dietary restrictions. The service is top notch - attentive but not intrusive. Great wine menu and cocktail bar.

The food was as tasty as ever. 4 small plates, and I can't even walk. The duck dumplings are a must, and if you get Bob as a server, tip hard!

Went for my mom's 90th birthday. They were great. Food and service was outstanding!

If you have a normal palate with no food allergies and enjoy leaving a restaurant hungry, then go to Five and Ten. Tonight was my third experience at this restaurant and I wanted to say good things since this is a popular spot. But,alas, I must tell the truth. The bar area is delightful but having an actual meal is not delightful. The menu is limited and does not accommodate food allergies of any kind. I will not be returning.

Mixed reviews: Good food & drink, horrible pricing policies. Let me explain. First, the food and drink was very, very good - no debate here. The bad: They are charging top dollar for everything, food and drinks. They have the right to do that. What really bothered me is that on top of them pricing everything at top dollar prices, they charged an additional “Service Fee” of another nearly $8.00. When I asked for an explanation of this fee, it was explained to me as a charge to help “offset” the hourly wage the restaurant pays their servers. WHAT?? The customers are expected to pay the hourly wage of their servers PLUS a 20% tip??? I have never seen this anywhere before. For a party of 4 with 6 cocktails between the 4 of us, dinner and a single desert we all shared - nothing extravagant, our bill was over $400.00. And the “Service Fee” just seemed wrong & felt inappropriate and onerous for their customers, esp given the prices on their menu.

Had a holiday dinner party here recently and it was fantastic! From the cocktails, to the pimento cheese appetizer, the delicious catfish, and the lemon cheesecake, this place did not disappoint!

Really nice restaurant by award winning chef Hugh Acheson. Great selection of creative and interesting treats. They change often as they are based on locally-sourced ingredients. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and could describe the choices in great detail. I was impressed by the wine list too. Quite an impressive restaurant for Athens GA.
