Five Ninth

Category: American

BAD. the crowd was so irritating (MePa clubgoers) and the music was overly loud. the service was terrible and the food was prepared carelessly. Do any of the cooks taste their food? Nothing had enough salt. The green papaya salad had no flavor - seriously lacking in fish sauce and had too much cucumber and not enough spice. The panzanella salad was awful - the bread hadn't been marinated, so it was just a bunch of hard chunks of stale bread. The only thing that was decent was the gnocchi - they were actually soft and buttery. The server was overly pushy on trying to get us to order stuff and somehow ended up spending $120. I will not be returning.
