The name "M5" was very unique and generating our interest in dining there. We started with there hummus appetizer which should be very flavorful; instead the hummus tasted only like mashed chickpeas and the flat bread was presented soaked in olive oil which made it a mess to tear off a piece to dip in the hummus. The Mediterranean salad dressing completely lacked any seasoning and I wasnt sure what we were suppose to derive from it as olive oil would have had more flavor. The spciy prawn appetizer had a piece of bread soaked and was as hard as a piece of wood - couldnt cut or bite into it!
The bartender "Rachel" had an attitude as if you were interupting her workflow to ask for something extra, not expected attitude for Charlotte hospitality. And not sure when then wiped down the bar last - but for 6pm (before the rush) it shouldnt be sticky to touch.
I would only recommend M5 if you dont know what good Mediterranean food tastes like.
Pros: Cool name - pleasant hostesses
Cons: Quality of food, parking, and cleanliness
