It seems everyone has something to say about M5 - whether good or bad - it's under fire!! It's a quality I find often in vibrant young restaurants! First: I believe it's safe to say the masks we wear as we dine certainly affects the environment around us; there is art in dining! I'll explain my experience at M5.
From valet, a long red carpet led me through two large dark doors. Intimidating!! I do say M5's interior is among the best I've seen nationally - It's comfortable and vibrant. Our server and I had a very interesting conversation about wine -- Ironically I asked him if he was attending college: turns out he's 25 and full of energy, CPCC must be doing something right!! He paired my Bergstrom (Organic Pinot Noir, Oregon) with three different courses -- all, right on!! My favorite: Duck Confit, appetizer!! But, I do warn, he was a smooth talker, my wife and daughter wanted to bring him home; jokes on me if you read this!! None the less I don't want to single him out - everyone/everything, including managers, and the fashionable restroom, seemed on their game the other night; it must have been our lucky night! It seemed hard not to smile, truly reminding me of Hospitality the way I desire. Too bad I got too tossed (too drunk) to remember any of it -- just kidding -- Thanks M5!!! See you Soon!!
