Five Horses Tavern

SO. GOOD.
I don't understand how anybody would feel less than ecstatic about eating here. The entire staff is polite, funny, and efficient. The food is top-notch. And where else are you gonna get white bean hummus, potato tacos, and fried game hens at the same place? I'm such a fan. Can't wait to go back.

It pains me to update this and drop a star. They have taken yet another of my favorites off the menu. They took my beloved toro furioso taco off the menu. I can't begin to describe the disappointment.

Also, tonight, our waiter had zero personality and bordered on just plain grouchy. He said the chef wouldn't make any changes, so don't even bother to ask. I believe the specific list was, "You can't add bacon to anything, you can't have ranch dressing, and  we don't have tomato slices." This was in response to one guest asking for tomato to be added to her chicken sandwich. My other friend basically trembled when she asked for pickles to be put on her burger.

Plus, they raised their prices and now things feel overpriced. I got a burger, a cup of soup, and a soda and paid $30.

So, yeah. Not the place it once was, which makes me really sad.

Great place and great food.  Unfortunately, when we got there at one on a Sunday, some of that food was not available, including hash and sourdough bread.  Also, the space is really noisy.  I really liked their brunch and they make even the most basic breakfast exciting, including adding mango to the fruit salad, and the home fries are like super skinny french fries.  Yum!
