Profile

An awfully cozy neighborhood spot with signature curried mussels and lusty specials like duck sausage with zesty potato salad. All that and a friendly welcome, a comfortable bar, and a big backyard garden.

Five Front: A wonderful fall day in New York decided to venture to the other side, the other side of the Brooklyn Bridge that is. I heard that 5 Front restaurant had a decent burger, turns out there were right !! After schelpping over one of the grandeurs of architecture separating Manhattan from Brooklyn, I sat down in ample sized bamboo garden behind an historic house directly under the bridge, my waiter was a young dude with a great knowledge of the menu.

I disliked this place so much (after reading the great review here), that I had to register to the site to voice my opinion. I've never disliked a place so much that I'd do something like that. The place looks nice, but that's about the only good thing I have to say. First complaint was that they didn't have the beer I ordered. We both went simple. Burgers. Not only were our burgers cold, but so were the fries. And I'm not a big stickler for warm food. They were REALLY cold! So cold that the cheese had already solidified. Why would the burgers and fries be cold if a) we ordered the same thing, taking the same amount of time, and b) they came out fairly quickly. We also sent back our side of mustard greens, because there were literally 4 stalks of mustard greens. Four stalks of mustard greens for 6 dollars? My impression of this place was that DUMBO is not known as a culinary mecca, so people's expectations are low. That's the only excuse I can come up with for how this place is still open.
