Harlem AmbassadorJanuary 13, 2013This has got to be by far some of the best food above 96th street. Go with an open mind and patience as it can get quite busy. Most foodies are finding it so plan in advance. Tables are elbow to elbow
Serious EatsAugust 30, 2013I didn't think I'd live to see a piece of properly grilled medium-rare Salmon in Harlem. The fish is fresh, tender, and moist enough to excuse the shortcomings of its accompaniments
The 5 and Diamond Restaurant serves a delicious Crab, Truffle, or Short Rib Mac & Cheese dish or you can even try any one of their dinner entrees. Music 5:30 - 9:30 by Harlem's own, DJ ShortyLove.
Blair JarvisNovember 21, 2014Pasta w short rib ragu was excellent. Music maybe a tad loud and light too bright but staff was great, and tasty drinks (loved the Morningside Garden).
The Corcoran GroupApril 1, 2011Delicious New American food. Go for the 5 at 5 menu where everything is $5 – even the delicious Mac & Cheese and Duo of Sliders! Wash it down with a Spiced Pear Bellini.
Gilt CityJune 1, 2011A native of Valencia, Spain, Chef David Martinez has a knack for spicing up traditional dishes with inspired touches. Don't miss out on the wings, which are drizzled in a sweet mango chipotle.
Jess OstroffJuly 26, 2013A gem in Harlem. Curly kale, chicken wings, and mac n cheese were amazing, plus the sangria for $5 was excellent. Cant wait to come back!
S WMarch 30, 2015The salmon was great. My waitress was friendly and wonderful - gave us great suggestions. The happy hour had $5 wines and sangria.
Chris PetetmanFebruary 13, 2011Great spot for awesome food, great wine and wonderful service! The staff makes you feel comfortable while providing an excellent dining experience! A definite place to visit in Harlem!
Michelle BoltonMay 24, 2015What they lack in space they gain in food and service. :-) pancakes are delicious asking with the bourbon champagne cocktail.
amNewYorkOctober 4, 2011From its bargain “5 at $5” snack menu to its more complex entrees, it’s lovely enough to be a special-occasion spot, but remains friendly and accessible for drop-in dinner.
Jasmine C.May 10, 20115@5 is a great happy hour option. Skip the margarita and head straight for the beer and sangria. Don't leave without trying the Mac n' Cheese.
Raena WilliamsOctober 7, 2011The Red Sangria has more flavor and much better than the white. 5-7 Happy hour. 5 dollar food and drinks. Nice place!
BasOctober 7, 2011The mac and cheese and sliders are a great combination. Too bad the lamb slider can't be ordered as a regular burger!
Dulcita CocoSeptember 24, 2010I have a new love in my life, and it's 5 & Diamond's pistachio crusted rack of lamb from New Zealand (with creamy swiss chard and pomegranate gastrique).
Jessica PitcairnApril 28, 2014Great brunch spot. Try the Bourbon Champagne Cocktail. Don't go here if you're in a hurry though- the service is really slow, but friendly.
@JaumePrimeroApril 2, 2012This cozy bistro/tavern is quaint, and probably my favorite secluded spot for eats in Harlem.- Liz DolinskiMay 7, 2013Ok, this is silly but they have really cool tables and a cool floor. Great vibe in here.
Rob SDecember 7, 2013Brunch: Bloody Mary, biscuits and jam, shrimp and grits, side of Mac and cheese. Go back to bed.
WaLuJanuary 5, 2014Everything was slow here. Drinks, food and even the bill coming out. For a small place, I thought they would move faster. Also, my brothers chicken was not cooked all the way.
DeShaun HarrisAugust 19, 2012Try the Bourbon Champagne Cocktail. Strong & sweet with just a bit of kick.
Michele WashingtonMay 22, 2014Tuesday celebratory graduation dinner with family was not so grand the service was dreadful, we waited over an hour for some of our family members to get their food.
Brent BoyceJanuary 21, 2014I really like this place but damn it took forever to eat. Been here 90 mins and still no entrees. FYI - we ordered pastas. Good music though.
Marcus HartwigJanuary 27, 2013The awesome bourbon and champagne drinks are the bartenders secret recipe.
- Dulcita CocoJuly 19, 2010Great brunch place! Try the Buttermilk biscuits with homemade strawberry jam - DELISH! Read more
- MarkJanuary 1, 2014Although I want to support local Harlem businesses, I would avoid this place. Clueless staff and really slow service. This has been an issue since this place opened. Walk down the street.
Jaro G4July 20, 2010Oven Baked Egg w Portuguese Style Chorizo for Brunch with glass of Estrella. and double up on the biscuits, seriously
YensJanuary 9, 2011Don't visit in the winter, wait staff uses front door to access the downstairs kitchen facilities. Door keeps opening and it's freezing in here.
sat pOctober 23, 2010The chef that did the Portuguese Brunch on Saturdays left, so no more Portuguese Brunch. :-(
Bruna CalheirosMay 3, 2014Waited 1h30 for my food to come. That's the reason the place is so busy, no one is able to leave because the kitchen is freaking slow.
Order a jack rose drink and the Black Sea Bass with edamame. It is yummy! Read more
Liz BAugust 19, 2010The service here is horrible for the prices of the food. Wait staff not on top of their game at all. I went on a half empty Wednesday night and was sorely disappointed.

"The place looks great and so does the staff. A see and be "scene" spot. Don't show up if you're not done up. The mojitos are fashion fabulous. Great variety for food and boys of the GBLTQ persuasion."
