Five Spice Seafood + Wine Bar

"Treat yourself to delicious seafood, great views of the bay, and exceptional service. Five Spice will not disappoint you."

"This place was fancy and pricey so the hopes for the food were high. It started out fine with some fresh bread and butter. We ordered some spring rolls and they were pretty good. Unfortunately, that's where the joyous part of the experience ended. The giant scallops were decent and probably the best dish of our 3 dishes. I'd give those a solid 7/10. My mom got the stuffed salmon with Mashed Potatoes and asparagus. The portion was fine but lacked flavor all around. This dish was a 5/10. My dish, the spicy seafood stew was portioned nicely with a bowl of rice. Unfortunately, it had zero flavor. It's as if they added a bunch of seafood into hot water with red bell peppers and the bell peppers gave the "stew" its color. My rating of this dish is a 2/10 and that's generous. Please add SALT AND BLACK PEPPER to your dishes! Overall, would prefer not to revisit and just give the pizza spot downstairs a visit instead."

"Let me start with Service. Our waitress was friendly but not very attentive. We had to ask for things multiple times. I understand it's an upscale restaurant but portion size was ridiculously small and had no flavor. There was 4 of us and all our dishes were flavorless. Also our water tastes like flat soda water. I for the life of me can't see how they have such good reviews. We were very disappointed and had to go to a second dinner afterwards. If you like expensive,small portioned food with no seasoning this is the place for you."

"Edit: I took my friends back here. Breton (I hope I spelled this lovely woman's name right) was an awesome server. We absolutely loved her!!! Got sat immediately, and I walked out to one of the nicest outdoor seatings to date. Of course, we brought our little guy. The heating was warm and cozy, and our hostess was warm and friendly. Our server, she was wonderful. The food, though, omg, I was just happy looking at the menu, but the food? I needed something like this in my life, and this was literally the highlight of my day. The facility was well ran, organized, and the bathrooms were super clean, and all plating of all these scrumptious dishes washed beautiful. Did I mention their awesome happy hour menu or their curated wine list that can in the hearts of any wine connoisseur? Domain wines, too, which were impressive. We got the coconut shrimp, super crunchy, but not hard and not too sweet and had the best compliment of flavor with their sweet chili sauce. The oysters in the half shell came with a vinaigrette and cocktail sauce. Their korean fried chicken was crispy and flavorful, but not overwhelming. They also had a wonderful gochujang sauce that had depth but wasn't too salty or sweet like other places are. Balance of flavors was on point. The poke and taro chips were superb. How did I not know about this place? I've been missing out for over 10 years? No wonder why they had awards on the wall. They were well deserved. I'm coming back, like soon."

"Staff was amazing with us when we explained it was our first time there. Waitress was very patient with my teens and naturally explained the menu/choices. She made time to ask about our day and small talk. I loved how attentive she was with our table, even with how busy it was. Generous food portions and it exceeded our satisfaction on flavor(s). Cocktails were average pricing (8-12.00) and did not disappoint. Highly recommend!"
