I went to Five Boroughs with my partner for a late dinner last night. there was a guy there who had clearly taken far too many drugs, he passed out in the restaurant and was not breathing. My partner and a former emergency nurse, who was also in the restaurant, went to him, checked his pulse and immediately started giving him cpr. when he regained consciousness, she kept him in the recovery position to help regain blood pressure while my partner called an ambulance. His friend got him up and tried to get him out of the restaurant, the guy was barely standing and kept passing out over our table on his way out the door. The nurse was trying to get him back on the ground in the recovery positio...
We stopped for lunch during the CubaDupa weekend. I ordered the cheeseburger and my lunch partner ordered the chicken wings (5 of them . The burger was very good. The service was very friendly (nearly to familiar . Water was served promptly and the beer I ordered also arrived very quickly. Given the amount of people, the burger and chicken wings arrived in good time. (we were not in a hurry and were able to sit outside where is was quieter. The chicken wings were slightly under cooked and I found the sauce a bit to spicy. (I had 1 as 5 were to many for my companion. between 3 to 4 is a large serving. . We were uphold a basket of fries. These were quit pricey and too salty. (I also overheard...
The fitout is great, the music very cool and the staff were very friendly and efficient. The place was also quite busy with people looking quite contented. Yet I won't be back. We ordered ribs, sloppy joe (which means mince in a bun), fries, asparagus and slaw. The fries were not really crispy as I like them to be indicating they were not cooked at the right temperature, or delivered fast enough to the table. And they had too much horrible seasoning on top, as did everything else. Seasoning is just salt played around with. A little goes a long way. I have been to the USA many times, and eaten in New York a few times. I didn't find they over seasoned their food! The sloppy joe was nothing to...
Extremely disappointed, spent $47 for some wings and chips. when they got delivered they were not cooked properly, has blood coming out of the bones. and it looked semi-cooked. looked like they had been frozen and cooked . has no taste or flavor. called to complain about the person who took the message was not very helpful at all. the owner on the top was abusive and not accommodating. ALL I CAN SAY BAD FOOD AND TOP IT UP REALLY REALLY BAD SERVICE. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE.

I found what may be the world's best hangover meal. The Dirty Randy breakfast at Five Boroughs is 2 perfectly fried eggs, hash browns, and bacon on a fresh roll. Whether one's hang over is from too much travel or to much wine or a combo of both this is a good choice. The others enjoyed a scramble named South Pacific with big chunks of corned beef in a heap of soft scrambled eggs. Oh, and the coffee is great also.
So I order 3 pieces of Fried Chicken. $15 I think, wow that’s pretty expensive for 3 pieces of chicken but then assume it will be a very decent serve size. But no, I get 3 chicken wings. Literally 3 chicken wings for $15 !!!!! Come on guys seriously !!! And to top it off, it was so excessively salty I had to drink Coke. I never drink coke !!! Really really bad
Had the buttermilk fried chicken burger. Seriously the best burger I've had in Wellington. There's something about sauce that seems like one of the most important things for me in a burger. Too much is not enough. Bun good. Chicken crispy with a delicate kick of spice for my whiteboy palate. Legends.
We were aiming for Fidel's, which people rave about but it was packed and so we crossed the street and stumbled across this great cafe, empty! It was exceptional for it's original and diverse menu. Try the crayfish hotdog with lime. Great service too, and we got to WOW on time!

Honestly, I’m a bit speechless right now. Mouth watering gnocchi, cooked to perfection. Not to mention presented beautifully. And the Mac n cheese, just phenomenal. I’m in awe ! Adore this place, perfect for lunch !
