Fodor's Review:
A clubhouse for well-off diners, this swanky spot is tucked away in the Palomar Hotel. Fifth Floor's 75-seat room, which is done up in dark woods with a silver-leaf ceiling, pairs perfectly with its classy dishes, such as fennel-crusted venison with golden polenta cake, rack of lamb with salsify, and ocean trout with braised celery root. Desserts might include chili-scented chocolate custard and dark fudge cake with dulce de leche ice cream, or pear tarte tatin with huckleberry-port compote and clove-walnut ice cream. Consider the tasting menu (with or without wine) when you have both money and time.

We had a business dinner in this restautant. The atmosphere and the staff is great, but the food is a bit overwrought. We had the chef testing menu (5 courses). The complimentary butternut squash soup was very good, but what followed were two "cured" raw fish dishes that I did not eat. The chef should be cognizant that there are many patrons who will not eat raw food. Next, the grilled salmon was very well done, but the the venison that followed was rare. What is this obssession with raw meat? Dessert was uniformly excellent. Overall an acceptable experience for the exhorbitant prices. By the way, the wine list started at $65 per bottle.
