The Five Point Square

This is a «conversation-​stopping» meal: you’re too busy savoring the deliciousness to talk! Had the deviled eggs and pork shoulder. Dinner companion had the grouper. Both meals were excellently executed and completely devoured. Will be back to try more off the menu.

Great food! The rolls are addicting. Ordered the New York strip medium well and it was prepared perfectly. Food had great taste. Restaurant is extremely loud when it is busy. Not the greatest atmosphere for a quiet conversation. The seats at the tables are metal and not the most comfortable for taking your time at dinner. Service was good overall and staff was very attentive. We will definitely be back!

First rhibg when i walk in… very modern… the ambiance is so mellow and the lighting soft… quite elegant in nature so if you are looking for a bit of a city feel yhis is the place… i ordered the chicken marsala plate with perfectly blanched esparagus and potato purée… chicken was tender… basic potatoes were creamy and marsala wine sauce was very traditional… overal very well cooked meal… over priced though… service was excellent good size portions… ate it all… first time in a long time i finished all!!!

The food here is high quality!
I’ve been here a couple times and it’s always been delicious. I’ve ordered the pork shoulder over risotto both times now and I always leave telling everyone how delicious it is! The pork really is just cooked perfectly– well seasoned, firm exterior that cracks open to this moist, delicious melt in your mouth pork. I also tried the smoked pork egg rolls and they were absolutely fantastic. Very crisp, fried exterior and meaty inside. The smoke was a very clean smoky flavor. It came with a spicy vinegar based dipping sauce that I could drink it was so tasty. Also, the wait staff is very polite and friendly. I’m sure I’ll be back.

Menu looked great, but the person behind the probably wasn’t there regular bartender (manager?). She was clearly overwhelmed, and very nice, but it took forever to get acknowledged. Several patrons around me didn’t get acknowledged either. As a former restaurant manager understand the challenges of knucklehead employees who don’t show for work on a Friday night, but that oesn’t really matter. The primary reason you go to a restaurant is to get service along with good food. I finally had to leave and go somewhere else.

Seldom do I leave a restaurant one star, but there wasn’t a lesser option. There was no one at the door to meet us, so we sat ourselves. The only two people in the restaurant were engaged in an obviously important conversation. The server finally brought us menus, but offered no suggestions and knew very little about the menu. We ordered the shrimp and grits and the pork sandwich on her recommendations. Colossal mistake. Overly salted and cold food, and slow service. Skip this place, and try another locally owned like Roma (my favorite) or Catch (the wife and kids favorite).

Absolutely phenomenal dinner and service. We are visiting from out of town and would recommend here to anyone. Pork shoulder, shrimp and grits, beignets, bacon wrapped asparagus, home made ice cream. All delicious! Great service from Ben as well. Highly recommend!

Incredible. What a great find in Cleveland. Farm to table and a great menu. We had the Chicken Marsala and the Halibut and both were very good. Servers were knowledgable and attentive.

Don’t miss the pumpkin soup. It’s loaded with saffron and the spiced cream cheese makes it savory and sweet and ridiculously fulfilling all at once. I also loved the organic salad (blue cheese, pistachios, rasperries, spinach, lettuce, balsamic dressing). I had pork shoulder as my entrée, with roasted okra and sweet potato and red onion. Sweet/​savory sauce and pepper on the vegetables. The pork was so tender I didn’t need a knife…
I also had a fantastic waitress. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and recommended a dry red to accompany the shoulder (Melbec? Don’t recall the exact name but it was pretty flavorful). Dishes were timed well and everything was hot/​fresh. Finished with a latte. Overall an amazing experience, if you find yourself in Cleveland don’t miss this place.

Decided to try this spot after reading reviews and it was great! Food was delicious, service was a bit slow. For appys we had the beef egg rolls (delish!), shrimp with green fried tomatoes (good), and truffle fries (awesome!). For dinner most of us had the certified angus beef filet over mashed potatoes with asparagus (very good!). Someone had the mozzarella and tomato salad and said very good. We all loved the selection of craft beers– had the Stiegl radler grapefruit beer and now it’s my fav. Go, you’ll enjoy it!

We were on our way back to Atlanta and decided to stop here for a quick bite. I can seriously say that this might have been the best food experience we’ve had in a really long time. The food was so exquisite that we HAD to ask for the chef Matthew Callahan so we could congratulate and thank him for the experience. Just Amazing! Please do yourself a favor and stop here to meet this wonderful chef and have some of the best food you’ll ever have. You’ll thank me.
We had the roasted pork shoulder, the springer mtn fried chicken and waffles, the barbecue egg rolls, and the molten cake. Impressive!!!

I am in love! When I first viewed the menu on line I was a little skeptical that I would find anything that I liked. But, right away, I was impressed with the fried green tomatoes appetizer. OMG! I have had FGT’s before, but not with huge sautéed shrimp and a lite, wonderful sauce. Absolutely perfect!
My wife had the trout with smoked tomatoes, chard and Kale which was outstanding! My shrimp and grits had a flavor like none other that I have experienced with coconut milk and curry. I was expecting a thai taste but it was spicy with a unique taste. Good portions at a good price.
I think you are my new favorite restaurant. Thank you for an extra special date night with my lovely bride!

INCREDIBLE food!
AMAZING staff! (We adored Chelsie!!)
Unique Aesthetics!
Will return ASAP!

Oh my! Amazing rainbow trout tonight!!! And the bacon-​wrapped dates!!! Soooo delish! And the most amazing coffee ice cream I’ve ever had in my life!!! And our server Tiffany was such a delight!!! I love when someone loves their job! She was great:)!!
The wait was long but the food made up for it! Thx 5.0!

This place is great! Love the truffle fries and beer selection! Really really good! Pork shoulder is also amazing!

Overall had a good time here.
Their bar area was a little off to the side, kinda dark, and ultimately awkwardly placed. However, the bartender (while clearly new) was nice and surprisingly knowledgable about the menu and bottled beer selections.
Their bottled beer selection was the best part. They had several spritzer type beers from places like Sweden, Germany, and Denmark. I ended up trying a handful of different beers and enjoyed them all.
We ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes and Truffle Fries for appetizers since the bartender recommended them. However, both were underwhelming. The fries could’ve used a spicy ketchup (if made in house), and the tomatoes came with a sweet mustard that didn’t quite fit. Definitely 2 stars here.
Strangely, the entrees rescued the appetizers. I say this because usually the appetizers preclude what you would expect next, but «nay»,…my date and I was pleasantly surprised.
I ordered the Pork Shoulder, and true to expectations, it fell off with just my fork and melted in my mouth. The brussels sprouts and purple potatoes were a descent compliment, but that pork is what’ll get me back.
My girlfriend ordered the Filet [MR] which was spot on in temp, had a nice char, and marble fully rendered. I have to say, I cook a good filet and was impressed to see a steak so properly handled come out of this place. Small ding though: the haricots verts (green beans) were something nasty. They sound delicious in the description being wrapped in bacon, but it just didn’t hold up.

We have been here a few times now and it is so good everytime. We have gotten the truffle fries and they are very tasty. Try the chicken and waffles also but I would suggest asking for the topping to be put on the side because it was a little bit much for the size of the waffle and it really was very overpowering so being able to adjust the amount of topping was much better. The wait staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Love this place

A jewel in our up and coming downtown. The house made bacon is amazing and I could just go there and order a BLT with a side of BLT and fries and then order a BLT to go. Did I mention the bacon? Damn!!! That’s some good bacon an I’m not a bacon freak.

I’d describe The Five Point Square as Southern Asian Farm-​to-​Table goodness. It was definitely a wonderful mix of all of those things. Or in one word: Amazing.
Started with a cucumber gin & tonic.
Was brought out some complimentary duck fat biscuits –that blew my mind.
Started with the goat cheese fritters in honey + rosemary that were amazing.
And for my entrée I had a slow-​cooked perfectly-​seasoned pork belly on a bed of fried rice with ponzu sauce and a sunny side up egg
The service was great. Thorough, educated about the food, and attentive, but not overly needy or chatty.
The bill was around $ 30.
Was pleasantly surprised to find that this restaurant exists in Cleveland, TN.

Went to The Five Point Square on a recommendation from the front desk of the hotel we were staying at as we passed through.
One word — Awesome!
The décor is great and a mix of upscale industrial. The Service was impeccable from the greeting at the door to the paying of the bill.
We started out with the Pork Should Spring Rolls — Lots of flavor and a kick of heat. really nice different app after Thanksgiving.
The Salad (or lettuce as they call it) was superb. All of the items are locally sourced and expertly prepared and you can tell it.
I had the burger which has bacon ground right into the beef. It was perfectly cooked to a medium and had more flavor on a burger than I have had in a long time. Not your typical bar burger (which I love). This one is a more refined taste, loved it! Again locally sourced condiments –lettuce, tomatoes and onions.
You have to get the Truffle fries, not a fan of skinny fries usually, but these were over the top.
The wife had the chicken and waffles and she is still talking about them today (2 days later).
One of the best meals I have had in a long time. I will go back when I am in the area.
