I used a grabone for here and was super surprised at the food. The food was really good and the menu was really good. We had a great meal and cheaper than the menu which was great. Saying that the menu was reasonably priced so...I would definitely go back.More

The Staff were warm and amicable from the time of making a reservation to the end of a pleasant evening of dining. Even though we made a late booking after a show , we were made to feel very welcome . The wine list and...the menu was varied and made our choices easy. The different meals and desserts ordered were of a high quality and a gustatory delightMore

We were on a pre-cruise package and they included a visit to this restaurant for lunch - it was awesome! Even with a limited selection, the restaurant made sure there was something for everyone. In fact most of us would have tried more than one...item the choices were so good. The food was the best and all prepared fresh and served with perfection. The young owners were so accommodating and on top of everything. I wish we had been able to back for a second meal. If you find yourself in the area, seek out this restaurant - you will not be disappointed!More

The restaurant ambience is good, nice painting of mission bay hanging on the whole. We ordered 3 appetizers to share they were ok, the tuna carpaccio and the duck liver patè were covered with rocket salad which gives that strong bitter taste. As a main...we had pork belly and scotch fillet, the sides of the mains is quite filling. The apple puree in the pork belly dish doesn't coordinate with each other, the scotch fillet very nice. To finish we ordered affogato with franfelico and cream brulee. Both very yummy. The place has nice atmosphere and friendly staff. We will back againMore

Booked for dinner on a Saturday night, and being Mission Bay on a warm summer evening meant that parking was terrible. We found one eventually, and when we mentioned this to the restaurant they said, "Oh, we have parking". Shame they didn't tell us when...we booked, but there's a hint for you - ask when you book. Anyway, on to the place. Our East European waiter was excellent. Very helpful and knowledgeable, and a nice guy. We shared an appetiser (salmon, avocado on crostini), and shared an entree (six good sized garlic prawns) and both were great. I had a Tiger and my wife had a Pinot Gris, both fine, though the PG was quite sweet. For mains we both had the Scotch Filet steak. Mine medium rare, the other rare. Both were actually medium rare really. Unfortunately, the steaks were not good at all. Chewy, and gristly. Mentioned it to our waiter and he offered to remedy it - Replace? Something different? But we decided to stay with them, and he offered to make it up to us. He brought us a complimentary dessert (steamed date pudding - delicious!) With the mains we had a red, he suggested their award winning Pinot Noir, and brought a sample. My wife went for it, it was very nice, but I stuck with a Coonawarra Shiraz, which was also nice. At the end, we discussed the steaks, and they were quite concerned, and would be speaking to their supplier. They gave us a $25 discount and as mentioned, a dessert. They handled the situation very well! Apart from that it was a great meal, great service, OK ambiance, and we would recommend it.More

Went with a friend to have dinner on a mid-week night and was impressed with the Menu choices and the food we ate was very good. My Crispy Squid entrée was cooked as it should be and my main course of Chicken wrapped in Prosciutto,...filled with feta and spinach was lovely. Did not get to try the desserts as we had already had sufficient. Wine selection good but some were quite expensive. Over-all this is a good restaurant with delightful food, good service but you need to be prepared to spend a few $$ as it is not cheap!More

Came here on a First Table booking. Small menu but a nice choice of dishes. We tried calamari and duck liver pate for starters - both nice. Mains - a special of beef cheeks was beautifully tender, steak nicely cooked and a chicken dish that...was also tasty. We rated the mains 7/8 out of 10. Overall a nice meal.More

I bought a $50 Grabone voucher for $25 for 3 people - a farewell dinner for my daughter going to Japan for a year. We ordered a beef cheek, pan fried tarakhi and steak, date pudding and creme brulee. We were surprised of how quickly...the food was served which was excellent and delicious. The waitress and waiters were very attentive and were quick to clear the tables, take our order and accommodate slight changes. They checked that all was ok and I observed a couple of men (perhaps the owners) doing the rounds having a wee chat with customers (probably regulars) and making sure guests were attended to. All in all excellent food and service, nice ambience and good for the special night out treat.More

We have eaten here a couple of times, and also popped in for coffee. The food is of a consistently high standard and they have a vegetarian option. The staff are really friendly and even though it looks ‘posh’ no one there is stuck up....You feel at home.More

I and my friends love going to bars & pubs for a chill atmosphere with fine food and drinks. In "five" our group was very welcomed and placed in the outside area. Waitresses brought our meals on time which were so delicious, didn't forget to...top up drinks, always smiled and made funny jokes. Definitely will come back. p.s. the tap beer was very tasty and fresh!More

Visited this lovely place for a family dinner few days ago. The atmosphere gave as energy and made out evening rememborable. Food was just amazing. I had the pork belly meal which could eat every day. My husband was very happy with the scotch steak,...he said it was one of the best he had ever had for years . Would recommend to go. Lovely workers were very friendly and smiley. Thank you.More

My partner and I run a stall at the markets and wanted a quick dinner before another big week. We are a fan of the grabone deal and there was one for Five this month- $25 for $50 store credit. We ordered the pork belly,...sirloin steak and a side of green (see photos) with two glasses of red. Absolutely delicious ... we will be back!More

We decided to try somewhere new in Mission Bay for a nice birthday dinner. We found Five Restaurant & bar and it had won New Zealand Beef & Lamb award so thought we would try it out. The menu offers a lot of choice -...we indulged and had entree, main and dessert each. Must haves includes the Pork Belly - either appetizer or main. The entree size was very generous entree size and it was DELICIOUS. Also really enjoyed the chilli prawns as an appetizer. Can also recommend Garlic crostini and Duck Liver Pate. The main Lamb Rump was perfectly cooked and had a different touch with jalapeños - really enjoyed. We didn't actually have room for dessert but as it was a birthday we indulged in Sticky Date Pudding and Creme Brûlée. Staff were very attentive and provided good service. Would dine here again.More
