Reviews Summary
Five Kitchen & Bar is highly praised for its vibrant atmosphere and exceptional service, with staff often commended for their knowledge and attentiveness. While many diners rave about the innovative American cuisine and signature dishes like the OTR Wellingtons and truffle fettuccine, a few have found certain dishes, like the paella and some seafood preparations, to be underwhelming or overly salty.
"Run, do not walk, here immediately if you have not been! The food was out of this world. We had the OTR Wellington, Coconut Shrimp, Truffle Fettuccine, Tartare, and cookie dough cheese cake. All were so incredible we couldn’t choose a favorite. Terrell was on top of our service too and super informative. We will be back very soon!"

"Great place to visit and I have been several times. I have not had a bad meal thus far . The menu has options from Caesar salad with chips on top to friend green tomatoes toooed with bacon to chicken truffle burgers . Reservations recommended. You can die inside or out and service is usually top-tier, service for us yesterday started out very strong and sort of slacked off. But they were busy. Great space for dinners and celebration."
Ashley Calloway
"Came after their rebranding and seriously loved our meal!!!! Service was pretty quick and friendly. We enjoyed every dish we ordered.
The mussels were so flavorful & the broth was addicting to dip w/ bread. They were able to split the salad in the back for us, too. For entrees, we got the rigatoni w/ added meatballs. So. Good! The pasta was cooked nice and again, loved their sauce. Steak was cooked and seasoning just how we like it. Would deff come back."

The 27 Hottest New Restaurants in Greater Cincinnati
1324 Vine St., Over-the-RhineThe newest venture from Crown Restaurant Group officially opened its doors in January. At its core, Five on Vine’s menu is meant to represent CRG’s perspective on how American food traditions have evolved. It includes savory shareables like oysters and OTR Wellingtons (local sausage and mushrooms wrapped in puff pastry and served with whole grain mustard); handmade pasta, including a rotating, seasonal risotto and the Squid Ink Tagliatelle with lobster tail and a spicy lobster cream; and traditional entrees with a twist, like the Roasted Amish Chicken with kale panzanella and apricot jus or Gracie’s Meatloaf, which is made with prime beef, raisins, pine nuts and served with a roasted tomato sauce.
The Restaurant Issue 2024
Five on Vine serves as an extended rebuttal against the tired argument that American food is bland and boring, proving that there can be excitement in comfort. The restaurant—the fifth venture from Anthony Sitek and Haley Nutter-Sitek’s Crown Restaurant Group—achieves such excitement through meticulous attention to detail. The meat is butchered in-house, the bread and pasta are made from scratch, and the bacon is house-cured.
