Fifth Avenue Grill

It truly pains me to say this… Fifth Avenue is closed, and will be replaced with (ugh) a funeral home. Thanks for the memories! :(

Awesome filet! Thanks. You guys should be busier than you were when I picked up my order.
Great job!

The place has seen its day.
Now it’s nothing but crabby old people who order water and sit at a table for hours scowling at others.
Hopefully the owner will realize he’d make more money catering to people who have money.
The food is inconsistent. When it’s good it’s great, but when it’s bad it’s horrible.

This review is rather unnecessary as it is pretty much redundant of what others have said. I’ve had dinner here 7 or 8 times over the last five years, and one thing I can say about Fifth Avenue is that it remains consistent. Since it is consistently mediocre you know you’re not about to get food exceptional food and you should know that you probably won’t have a really bad meal either.
Yes, it is a hang out for the elderly and at age 67 I do find myself being one of the younger amongst their dinning patrons. The décor is somewhat old time, dark, with a sort of men’s club lounge appearance to their bar room and an over glorified old time Holiday Inn appearance to their main dinning room. The bar area is big, service is good, drinks are good and are on about the same price scale as comparable restaurants. The dinning area is also very large with lots of huge brass pots hanging from the ceiling and a continuation of dark wood décor.
As for the food, I can only say that it is, at best, OK. The portions of their cuts of meat are small, generally thin, definitely not aged, rather pricey but again, OK. Their fish, like their meat, is again rather small p unimpressive portions. Most items come with a rather skimpy, basic plate salad including a couple cherry tomatoes, the usual iceberg lettuce and a whack of onion, but nothing more. As for the desserts, they’re rather horrid examples pushed out by some commercial outlet.
The service isn’t bad and the place does appear to be clean, neat, orderly, but overall, from menu to décor, this has to be one of the most boring of restaurants.
My advice for anyone to enjoy the Fifth Avenue, you best be over age 60, have a small appetite as well as a dislike of anything new or unique in your food. This is the type of place for grandparents and those who only eat simple fish and potatoes or meat and potatoes.
I’d like to give them three stars, but that says for «A-​ok.» The place is certainly OK, but prefaced with an «A,» is something I can’t go for. It’s just OK but I’ve certainly experienced better at better prices.
Oh, and another thing. There are various groups of the elderly that have their group dinners at Fifth Avenue expect to see plenty of those walkers the elderly use to get around. Matter of fact, they out to have some form of valet parking for them.

Ok, the other reviewers are right. It does look like a funeral home, inside and out. The clientele are almost universally in their 80“s and 90’s.
The food is mediocre at best, miserable at worst. I had the prime rib, which had the consistency of a suitcase. It is ridiculously expensive
($ 130.00 for dinner for two, with two drinks each). During our «dinner» we were accosted, at our table, by what appeared to be the local drunk.
This was a lady in her mid 80’s who was drunk, and appeared to suffer from some type of dementia. She approached our table as though she was Paris Hilton at a club, table hopping. She lingered for over 20 minutes, until she asked to «join» us! We said we had business to discuss, and she finally went away. It was bad. I have been to other restaurants in this chain, and they were fine, but this one is just horrible. Stay away!

3.5 stars… so, along with all the 70-​somethings, i ate dinner here right before 6 p.m. the «early bird» special stops at 6. justin, you werent the youngest, i was! although i didnt order off the special menu, i did start out with the escargot, a dirty martini, and a glass of the santa margherita. alcoholic? um. ask me after i leave my grandparents. i enjoyed the petite filet which was 6 oz. it says in the beginning when you walk in «prime beef» but i dont think my filet was prime. i work at a steakhouse that specializes in prime beef. but, no big deal. it was prepared correctly. i had a baked potato that seemed a bit dry. because everyone elses dinners came with dessert, i tasted both the bread pudding and also the key lime pie. they were really good. probably one of the highlights of the dinner. i had mentioned to the waitress that i wanted a glass of red with dinner. and she forgot but acknowledged me after i had almost finished. not a problem, seriously. i probably would have heard a comment from my grandpa about my drinking (he said something about mixing vodka and wine — please).
i wanted to note this place is by no means «dressy» plenty of people dressed in shorts as well as jeans. the hostess was dressed in a faux-​ed hardy skirt and shirt not matching. not super appropriate but okay. i wore jeans — it irritates me when a place says jeans are okay but not preferred (which they didnt). when i pay as much as i do for my premium denim, and they even have slack lines down the middle give me a break. also, reservations, as we now know, are preferred.
i left fuller than i wanted to. trying to stay good on my vacation by balancing vodka calories with food calories.

Came here for dinner with my Dad. Now it’s definitely more of a «dad» kind of place than a me kind of place. But that said, it was pretty good.
Décor is dark and kind of old fashioned steakhouse kind of look. But our server was awesome. Super friendly, very knowledgeable about the food and wines. Items came out promptly and were very tasty (I got shrimp scampi). Overall a very solid meal.

I was the youngest hear by far. 31. If this what the future holds please, please put me down. Staff was OK, food was not worth the wait. I sat at the bar for a little bit to decide if I wanted to dine with the dead. After a few drinks I jumped into action and was asked to keep my voice down a few times by random tables.
This was almost out of a movie.

This place is mostly well-​to-​do 60,70,80 year old crowd with nice cars. This might be why it resembles a funeral home from the outside. I was going to review it but I didn’t want to be the youngest one there so I left. The place had a large bar (I had a drink) on one side and dining area on the other. I am giving a 3 because I have to give it something. Maybe I will try some food there one of these days… maybe 10 or 20 years from now. Until then this will just be the Over The Hill Grill.

Solid steakhouse style restaurant. Has a northern chalet feel to it.

Great mid sized restaurant in Light House Point. Being that they are in FL they have early bird specials if you can get in at 5PM. They don’t serve lunch. Good place to get Prime Rib, a Lobster or Surf and Turf.
My one beef with this place is that they serve sodas by the 10 oz bottle, they need to get a soda deal like the rest of real restaurants out there. They do serve your beer with a chilled glass which is a nice touch.
