What People Are Saying About Fifth Floor Restaurant

The Fifth Floor has reopened with new menu from acclaimed chef Laurent Manrique and a striking new interior from Puccini Restaurant Group.
Like a culinary ambassador, Fifth Floor brings together and showcases the remarkable similarities between the Bay Area and Chef Laurent Manrique's native Gascony in Southwest France. Flavors and textures captured from the spirit of elements common to both regions - forests, mountains, vineyards and the ocean - emerge harmoniously through the restaurant's art, design, wine selections and traditional Gascon cuisine with contemporary influences and sensibilities. We look forward to having you dine at Fifth Floor to celebrate this gastronomic and cultural union.
If you'd like to make a reservation for breakfast or dinner, please call (415) 348-1555.

On the fifth floor (naturally) of the Hotel Palomar, France's Gascony region meets the Bay Area: on the menu, on the wine list, in the decor, and probably even among the well-heeled international clientele. Chef Laurent Manrique uses local ingredients to refine his rustic native cuisine into elegant numbes like crab soup with saffron emulsion, while Sommelier Emily Wines (yes, really) selects the best of both countries for her massive wine list.

When you're ready to splurge, check out Fifth Floor for a fantastic meal. Check their websites, they have special events like beer pairings and wine tastings that really enhance the fine dining experience. Had an amazing duck dish here and my date had some scrumptious seafood.

We just had dinner with another couple last night at the 5th Floor. It was a great evening. Contrary to some other reviews, the service was very good. The wait staff had good recommendations to make and were very attentive. The wine list is terrific although pricey. The food was very creative and artfully served. The ambience was very nice. It is nice to have a restaurant that has style and still be able to carry on a conversation with your table mates.

I'm not a foodie, so I'm probably not qualified to speak on the food, but to my untrained tongue, it was excellent! The service and ambiance are perfect and left me wondering why we don't have anything close to this in LA!

When to Go:
The restaurant's new Honor Bar is a play on the honor principle: from 4pm to 9pm every evening, sommelier Emily Wines will be featuring six hand-picked wines that customers can order by paying what they please in a box on the bar.
Save Money:
The lounge menu includes many of the same entrees as the restaurant, for nearly half the price. The cafe also has a no-reservation policy.
What to Drink:
Six-course, 10-wine tasting menus are designed around the beverages, with food chosen to highlight the wines rather than the other way around.
The Extras:
Call to book a spot in one of the sommelier's weekly "Wines on Wines" classes. Stay for dinner afterwards and the class is free.
