FIVE on the Hill

Cute little restaurant with nice atmosphere. The food was also nice albeit a little of the pricey side. The sea-cutterie board was delicious. Cocktails were also great. The restaurant is away from everything so the food is cooked from within the hotel and brought out to you. Bathrooms are also inside the hotel so you have to walk a little ways to get to them. Service was great.

First time here, pictures made it look like a great place to have a galentines dinner. But boyyyy were we wrong. Horrible service, horrible overpriced food, & horrible waiter. He was not friendly at all. We requested things we saw here on Yelp & he would respond with attitude saying it's ONLY what's on the menu. My friend had to ask another waiter in which he said we were able to order stuff outside the menu. Our waiter got bothered & asked us "who exactly told us we can order stuff outside the menu". Which he ended up doing anyways. His whole demeanor changed once we started ordering off the menu, instead of him clarifying whether or not it was possible. We didn't bother asking him for anything else because he didn't make us feel comfortable after. Shortly after that, other tables around us were also complaining about the same thing or lonnnngggg waits. When leaving the parking structure, my parking ticket was $48!!! There was a friendly parking garage security who informed us that we were supposed to get it validated which our waiter didn't even ask us if we needed that done. Thankfully he let it slide this one time and validated it for us because usually there isn't a person in the parking garage as he informed us. Save your money and don't come here!!!!

Sorry to say this but this has to be one of the worst restaurants I have ever had. Also to add insult to injury you still gotta pay eight dollar parking with valet so (don't forget to valet) and the meal for four people was more than $200. nothing had flavor we had to ask for salt cheese and all types of other stuff. This was hot garbage. The meal still sucked after adding salt and cheese to it. entrées range from $25-$50 each. Also, we were there for the Christmas pop-up, which was pretty weak. The drinks were midthey did allow us to have a free dessert, because we did complain about how bad the meal was. The dessert was also garbage. It was pretty much diluted toffee pudding, and the bread was stale AF. you could tell they took the bread they were about to throw away and just repurposed it for dessert. So sad people have to pay $22 for that.The only thing that was good was the free bread they give you which is cornbread and jalapeño. Honestly, please save your money and do not come here. I feel so ripped off and having dragged my friends to come out here with me to waste their hard earned money on this restaurant.The waitress was nice.

Not the Christmas vibes you wanted. I would say save your drive and parking drama and go somewhere else. It's decorative but not like the website and if you have seen this place on tik tok it's highly edited. You're literally out in the valet parking lot of the Hilton. Restrooms, bar, and food is in the actual hotel. That being said , food and drinks take forever. Our waiter seemed new. He was nice but for the prices and fancy-ness you would expect a seasoned waiter to be working this "restaurant" There's no nice view you're just on the top of a hotel parking lot. Drinks were i consistent. Mushroom ricotta flatbread was good and so was the Christmas tree cheese appetizer. We had reservations so didn't feel too bad but overall it was a big miss.

FIVE on the Hill offers a charming outdoor dining experience with a beautiful atmosphere and a great holiday vibe. The decor is festive and thoughtfully designed, making it a perfect spot for enjoying brunch in a relaxed yet lively setting. Located at the Hilton in Universal City, the restaurant boasts an impressive selection of brunch items and cocktails, including fun options like flights of mimosas and margaritas.Reservations were easy to make, and the service was top-notch. Leslie, our server, was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant experience. The food, however, was a bit of a letdown considering the prices. I tried the lobster chilaquiles, which unfortunately didn't live up to expectations. The chips were soggy and not to my taste, and the lobster portion was tiny. On the plus side, the espresso martini was fantastic--smooth and flavorful. I also had the lavender mimosa, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me.The venue is beautiful, but keep in mind that while parking is validated, it still costs nearly $9 to park yourself, which could be a bit steep depending on how long you plan to stay. Overall, FIVE on the Hill is a lovely place for drinks and a casual outing, but I would recommend keeping expectations in check when it comes to the food.

Located near universal studios, this restaurant was decorated to match the festive Christmas season. Service was a little slow to start, but picked up and ended up being fine. French toast was delicious and so was the the LA Burrito, which is their take on a traditional wet burrito. The salsa roja side was much better than the salsa verde though. Price was a little on the higher side, which makes sense for the area. Self-parking is available for $8 and valet for $20. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would come back again.

Such a cute place overlooking the hill. The ceiling was filled with flowers dangling down. So pretty! It's a small restaurant located outside of the Hilton Hotel. Make sure you get parking validation for $8 otherwise will cost you more than that. We had a reservation, but decided to get there early. They were so kind to accommodate us and got seated instantly upon arrival. Service was so quick and efficient. Our server was so nice and friendly. We had ordered the avocado toast and kimchi steak dish. Great tasting, but just thought our meals were overly priced. I have never paid for some avocado toast over $20. It was insane! Was it worth it? I didn't think so, but it was a good experience. We also had the margarita flights which wasn't too bad for the price, but it blew our minds away how yummy and strong it was. Therefore, I can say it was worth it! Overall, we enjoyed it and I would go back for the drinks! Maybe not for the food.

They changed this place since I first came here, bt still a great experience. The quality has stayed the same! Food was still 10/10Beautiful "outdoor" seating covered with flowers overhead. Great service. Will recommend for any event (girls day/night out, date, group outing, family outing)

We had a reservation at 8:00 pm. We did not get seated till almost 9:00 pm. The food comes from the restaurant inside the hotel. We waited about 45 mins for our food and it was mid. The ribeye was so chewy and had no flavor. The mushroom flatbread was not worth $26. The only good thing about the restaurant were the drinks. I definitely would not recommend coming to this restaurant , food is subpar and expensive.

I've been dying to come to the IG famous pop up with the lovely floral arrangements. Their theme is seasonal, therefore the scheme is autumn.My work friend & I booked a birthday brunch reservation for last Sunday. We were running late & tried calling but no answer. When we arrived they had already given our table away, but they said that they would get us seated at their earliest convenience. After about 5-10 minutes they sat us under the floral display. We ordered their version of a piña colada which was delightful. I ordered their cayenne chicken and waffles & my friend ordered the Shakshuka. Because we were starving, we ordered truffle fries as a starter.Our server told us that the kitchen was behind, & profusely apologized, and told us our round of drinks & appetizer would be comped. Our fries came out, & they were addictive. Definitely hit the spot. Our entrees came out soon thereafter. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. It was a good serving size. The chicken was crispy, juicy, but needed a touch of salt. The waffle was cooked perfectly. It was thickkk. The savory herb butter on top was a nice touch. My friend's meal wasn't to her liking unfortunately. The egg was barely present in the dish. It's almost like she ate pasta sauce with toast. She was underwhelmed. Our server brought out a complimentary bday tiramisu which was too kind.Pros- beautiful decor, great views, good drinks/food, great customer service, live music, validations (significant discount).Cons- not responsive by phone, & long wait time
