    As a vegetarian, I appreciate when a restaurant has numerous options. Five Horses does. Also, I appreciate good non-alcoholic drink options, which they also have (although they’re a bit expensive, IMHO). I had the Mandarine salad with felafel and a non-alcoholic Crimes of Passion. Delicious. My partner had a burger and tots, which he also said were excellent. Our new server (“It’s my second day—excuse me!”) was wonderful. Everything was tasty, efficient and friendly.

    The restaurant had a great vibe, and the food and drinks tasted great! Our server hardly stopped by our table however, making it hard to get refills and other things we needed.

    We have now had two business brunches at Five Horses and the staff has been incredibly accommodating both times. The food is good, drinks are great, service exceptional. Timing was impeccable despite having 20 people in our party. They were organized, friendly, and flexible. I’m sure we will be back and I would recommend this spot to others! Thank you, Five Horses team!
