Nice place for a Sunday brunch ! Interesting decor and good, affordable menu options. Make a reservation on OpenTable to avoid waiting.

Amanda Adams

This place has amazing food and even more amazing service. Ask for Colleen. She'll answer any questions you have about the swanky and cool atmosphere that is 5 Church and make you feel right at home!

Chef Jamie Lynch makes use of local ingredients and puts a creative twist on any dish. (Try the NC Grouper .) The spot is perfect to enjoy a drink (we recommend QC Iced Tea ) before hitting the clubs.

Imani Allen

I loved the wasabi crusted salmon . The waiters were very welcoming and confident in the restaurant and they even honored 10% for my Lover and I anniversary. Great food, great service! Will b back!

Joshua Drown

Hip and chic uptown spot, with Sun Tzu's "The Art of War " hand-painted on the ceiling. Happy-hour here is one of Charlotte's best see and be seen bars .

Anil Chittimalla

Awesome place... chicken burger with fries on the lunch menu for $10. Ambience was awesome and the lady at the front desk too. They have printed war book first thirteen chapters on the ceiling.

Kat Cramer

Lamb burger is a no brainer for first timers. The entire book "The Art of War " is hand painted on the ceiling. Brunch has bottomless sangria . Helen Schwab names their fries "best in town "

Alyx Heartcore

Great, helpful service . Some worthwhile items to try are the pork belly , kale risotto , and black bean hummus dip . Don't forget to order the S'mores Triffle for dessert .

Jake Bock

The "60-Second" steak is an awesome meal. Don't feel ashamed going for the lobster mac & cheese either! 5 Church is a 'once in a while' treat that is well worth the price!

Amy U

Lobster mac and cheese ...its not good, its incredible! It's the lobster MAC daddy of all side dishes! Thanks Emily Maynard for tweeting about this place!!!!! We couldn't help but try it out!

Simal Soydan

Great ambiance and great food. The eggplant and the tuna tartar was amazing.

Ariel Casali

Concise but very good wine selection . I tried one of the best from Valle de Uco in Argentina. Luca!

Ash Hamilton

Went for queen's feast and got the mushroom bone marrow , which is a baked mushroom dish that looks like a piece of bone. Very yum. Panna cotta is gross tho--get a chocolate dessert .

Alejandra ????

Try the bourberry cocktail and the s'mores triffle . Delicious. Service can be kinda slow and it gets crowded but overall delicious food.

A great Uptown brunch spot on the weekends. I love the crab cakes and poached eggs , accompanied by bottomless mimosas .

The inventive nut tart sided with a cloud of luxurious sweet potato mousse is exceptional. Read more

Cara Sharpe

Great for dates and special occasions ! The filet was perfect.

Joshua Drown

Stop in for a Viper , a perfect concoction of Patron, cayenne, cucumber water , lime , and orange .

Danielle Willingham

Amazing food, and drinks! The scallops I highly recommended, first time ever trying them and I was in love!

Drew Nys

Amazing food and great staff . Went for lunch and late night drinks and both were great.

Ryan Watson

Everything!!! Crabcakes , mahi , brussel sprouts with bacon ... it doesnt quit. Service & atmosphere is stellar!

Creative Loafing Charlotte

Desserts are a strong finish if you skip the S'mores . Like the rest of the menu, these dishes are American-inspired with French culinary finesse. Read more

Whether it's pumpkin pies , pumpkin lattes , pumpkin rolls or pumpkin cupcakes , winter squash takes a backseat to the pumpkin craze. Read more

Bison run at you from large format paintings on the walls and then appear on your plate as precisely grilled strip steaks robust with flavor. Read more

Crystal Saunders

Try the pork belly snack . The duck mole would have been good if the breast had been crisp like duck should. Lobster macnchz has the taste of lobster but 3 dime pieces in the whole side is poor value.

Connor Rankin

Everything! Hanger Steak & Gnocchi were stars of the night! Desserts on point too!

Sheila Kristine

The decor is this place is incredible and to top it all off, "The Art of War " is hand painted on the ceiling!!!

Derek Eid

Be warned it is unbelievably crowded on weekends that you'll be lucky to find a place to stand if you do not arrive early.

Phoenix Jimenez

Try the Lamb Burger ; its on the of best burgers I've ever had.

Amazing porkchop well worth the price. Beautiful atmosphere. Totally recommened.

Tad Low

The 60 second NY Strip is amazing. And take a look at the ceiling.

Lauren Cecil

Steak was so-so, but try the flounder with the potato chowder and fried oysters . Delicious!

Joe

The pork belly things are like the god of fried food spooging in your mouth with a facial fried food greasy cumshot. In your mouth. Except pick of the fatty parts. Seriously. The fat sucks b hole

Amy

Smoked then Roasted Salmon was a hit. Bibb Salad hearty enough to make a meal!
