5 West

Did you know that during WWII, compasses were smuggled into prisoner of war camps, sometimes in the form of buttons and razor blades.*

The atmosphere as you know I am doing off of ease of ordering and the accessibility of their website. Their website was very simple to use, and it was even easy to use on mobile which is something that is hard to do for even the simplest website. The time that it took for our food to be prepared (we picked it up at the restaurant) was almost exactly what the time that they said it would be. I give the atmosphere 4 stars.

The food that we ordered from 5 West (http://www.fivewestrochester.com/) was Buffalo Chicken Wontons, Maple Bouirbon Fried Chicken, and Steak Fettuccine. The Buffalo Chicken Wontons were delicious, the outer shell was nice and crispy, and the cream cheese complimented the chicken and buffalo sauce which could be a bit spicy, but they perfected the buffalo chicken flavor. The Maple Bourbon Fried Chicken was some of the best fried chicken I have ever had in my life. The breading of the chicken was delightful in my mouth, and the harsh texture of it complimented the smooth silkiness of the chicken and made it into a beautiful masterpiece. The chicken itself was delicious, because the meat was tender and boneless, and they did not try too hard to make the chicken the only taste on the plate, they let its strengths play perfectly to the dish. The Steak Fettuccine was my personal favorite of the night. That is because the steak was filet magnon, my personal favorite steak of all time, and was supplied in plunderful quantity. (I know plunderful isn’t a word, but it should be used in this instance). The noodles were lightly seasoned and they complimented the steak’s rough texture and the flavor of the noodles. Instead of contradicting the steak it helped it and rose the dish into stardom, so because of this I give food 5 stars.

For creativity and uniqueness the food put a unique twist onto every dish. The fried chicken although it was not too unique, the breading was crumbly and the flavoring on it was unlike anything that I have ever tasted. The Buffalo Chicken Wontons were unique in the aspect that the sauce and cheese did not taste like anything I have had before, because the Buffalo sauce was very faint, and the cheese made the chicken soft  and delicious, which is different. The steak and noodles was a combination that I have never seen before and I will probably never have again, the unique blend of Italian to American while taking some of the best elements of each cuisine is something that I have never seen before, although I wish I could have it more. For creativity and uniqueness, I give it 4.5 stars. For price our meal cost $61 and I think that that was a fair price because the food was delicious and it filled me up to the brim, so I give price 4 stars which brings the total rating to 17 stars.
