Fives delivers exactly what you would envision from a meal at an elegant hotel like the Peninsula. Business travelers and VIPs from the area meet in this chic, austere restaurant to broker deals in a hushed and genteel atmosphere. The fare is contemporary American, and patrons enjoy the wild mushroom risotto with black truffle foam and the poached lobster with scallions. Larry Lopez’s delectable desserts are an added bonus, and Fives chef Thomas Piede has a room-service menu that brings surprising twists to some city staples like pretzels with spicy mustard and street-vendor-esque hot dogs.
