Restaurant Five Five 2

I'm going to give Restaurant Five Five 2 a 4 for right now. This is due to the odd conversation that was transpiring between I'm assuming a mother, father, and tween next to us. Yes a tween. I would like to come back and give it another whirl because the food here was pretty stellar.

Now I apologize for coming off a little snippy but this was just straight up awkward. My mom took me for dinner on the night of my birthday(yes I'm about 3 weeks late I'm sorry for the late review!) so it was just the two of us. The waiter (Vinny I think was his name) was very helpful and patient with us. My mom and I ordered the following to split: Gloucester Deviled Eggs with lobster and lemon aioli, Blackened Filet Mignon Tips with onion straws and gorgonzola sauce, and Maine Lobster Mac 'N Cheese with white truffle essence and farmhouse cheddar. We told our waiter we may want something else but we didn't want to over order and we'd let him know. Now let me tell you when I was a youngin' about 16 years ago so that'd make me 12 I was taught not to act up in a restaurant and to stay attentive. All I could hear from this tween was "Stahp!! You're embarrassing me!!! STAHP". Here I am trying to enjoy my birthday dinner and drinky and it was getting quite uncomfortable as the tables are pretty close to each other. But the food is awesome. We wound up ordering another order of the Blackened Filet Mignon Tips. I also dipped pieces of bread into the gorgonzola sauce. No dessert because we were full! Next time since the waiter informed he wanted to sing to me because it was my birthday. Ha!

I think Restaurant Five Five 2 needs me to come back and give it another whirl. This is definitely a place that is intimate and romantic and perfectly suitable for a date. Minus the tween of course!

I have been to this restaurant before and sat at the bar for appetizers and drinks. Very good food.
I bought an Amazon coupon,  I called to see if I could eat at the bar and was told no. So I made a reservation to eat at a table in the bar. I was disappointed needless to say.
So  my friend and I sat at the bar for a drink before dinner. Then I was told I could eat at the bar. Good move by the management. Customer service is key to a business.
Go see Angelo the bartender. He is great. He has a technique when he pours to mixed drinks at one time. He's a great bartender.
We had a great time and good food. Try the Kung pao calamari, the wedge salad and the orecchiette gamberi. My friend and I shared it and it was more than enough.

This place was amazing!  Some of the reviews said the service needed work but they've clearly worked on it.  The wait staff was super attentive and friendly.  The ambiance was homey and comfortable.  The meal was one of the best I've had.  Everything was delicious from the cheese plate, to the watermelon salad they had as a special to the short rib grilled cheese and the chocolate mousse.  I don 't have a single complaint.
