5th Street Bistro

I am a IHG Platinum member, so I stay in many Holiday Inn properties. Breakfast was ok. The eggs were real, but cold and very few. The staff is friendly, but more interested in personal conversations than the guests. Staff needs to stay out front where guests are, not in back, I saw four employees, all were in back. Better mgt needed here.

If you’re staying in the hotel, go elsewhere. If you’re not staying in the hotel, go elsewhere. The service is terrible. I ate there twice and had crap service both times. Plus it’s on the pricey side. Food is ok, but not worth the price or wait from the incompetent wait staff.

This is the restaurant attached to the Palmdale holiday inn. Since the restaurant takes the drink, dinner and breakfast coupons from the hotel guests, it is a convenient & economical place to eat if you are a hotel guest. The food is good but not great. If are not a hotel guest (without a guest coupon) then they are way more expensive than other near by alternative. So if you are a guest of the HI-​4 stars, in not then only — 3 stars

The food was fine. No problem there. The service however… not so much. It seemed to be better if you were a older gentleman though. A whole table of men were able to order, be served drinks, order food, flirt, and get their food before the waitress even asked me if I wanted anything. And she had to walk by be each time to help the gents. I know I’ve got a laptop with me, because I’m traveling on business and this place is inside the hotel… it doesn’t mean I don’t want to eat. I would have stayed upstairs if that were the case. This may not be a daily occurrence, it may have been just a bad day to come. But to sit for an hour and only get a menu and still have to wait longer to place the order… not acceptable.
*edit* it was a total TWO hours before I got out of there with my SOUP. And no, I wasn’t a jerk, I still tipped, just not a generously as I usually do.

Big portions and quality ingredients. I ordered the veggie panini which was awesome. My hubby ordered the fajitas which were impressive. They came out in a huge bowl and were more meat than veggie smothered in salsa. Also, the menu mentioned many (if not all) ingredients are locally sourced. If you’re staying at he hotel you get a ticket for dinner (it only applies to specific dishes, but if you order outside of those select items the ticket takes 50% off of one entrée) you also get free drink and breakfast buffet tickets.

This is a great place to go to avoid the busy restaurants. It has great food and great service! A full bar and a great atmosphere…
