Food is delicious and fresh. The chef is in touch with the seasons of the year and what food his diners will crave during those seasons, as each seasonal menu fills you with the ""tastes"" of that season. Savory lamb stew; light, flaky fish; and beautifully roasted chicken breast are a few highlights of the frequently changing menu. The menu-staple burger and fries are incredible.
I've been hesitant to publicize this fact (b/c I don't want to give up my coveted seat at the bar), but dining at the bar at 5 Front is phenomenal. Comfy seats, loads of attention from the bartender and an impressive wine list make this bar tough to beat. Bartenders will either engage you in conversation or let you eat in peace, depending on your mood. Either way, you are always made to feel like an appreciated local.
Plus, the big, spacious garden with lots of trees and landscaping is spectacular. It is a relaxing place to unwind after a long, stressful day.
Pros: Fantastic food, great vibe/atmosphere, terrific bar &garden.
