This is my first time ever writing a review but i thought this place deserved it. Great food, great atmosphere, and great service. Definitly get the guacamole and try the crab stuffed enchiladas (delicious). An upscale mexican restuarant done right!

I agree with what other says about the price, I feel $3 dollars per oysters are somehow expensive too. However I think if you are seafood lover, and addict to oysters, then you have to go to Shaffer and at least taste their food one time. This place is worth to try it.

Was not sure what to expect here, but must say that i have not laughed this hard in years.. and i laugh a lot! There were several short stand-up acts all of which were entertaining. Veronica Mosey, imparticular, was fabulous! She entertained the room from the moment she started to the second she ended, and left us wanting more. I can't wait to see her again. She was accompanied by Ross Bennett & Judah Friedlander from 30 Rock who were also wildly funny. I can't wait to get back soon and hope to see some of the same faces again.
Pros: Fun, Funny, Hilarious, Great Comedians, Great Time!

I've been stopping at 5 Ninth for the past three years, usually bringing a friend with me to share this place. The food has changed lately, more towards french-country menu now... Roasted pork, crispy duck, garbou soup, braised lamb, lamb cassoulet - each great dishes. I once wrote on a comment card that I thought the lamb cassoulet had more beans than lamb and two weeks later I stopped in and had it again and there was a major improvement. While dinner is fantastic, brunch is amazing... not to miss, especially when the weather is nice and the outdoor garden is open (very romantic at night as well!)
The service has always been great in my experience. Linden, Brian and George have been long-time fixtures there and I ask for them when I make my reservation or when I arrive.
The place does need a little updating - lots of lights are out on the bar, bar needs to be refinished, the floors have huge gaps in the planks, the furniture on the third floor lounge has seen better days (probably four years ago when it opened). However, I noticed that they put new cushions on the seats on the first and second floors so it appears the owners are figuring it out. I went this weekend and it appears they are starting to remodel the restrooms as well.
The third floor lounge is a great place for an after-dinner cocktail, and they sometimes have events like DJ's or I think they had a Superbowl party this year.
However the best new thing is that they have a happy hour - probably the best in the neighborhood. I can't remember their specials but it was like $2 beers and $5 well drinks... and they were giving away food as well... Says they are doing it 5-9 Sunday through Wednesday.
Pros: Garden, Service, Food
Cons: Interior needs some updating, $40 steak? (its not a steakhouse!)...

I've been to Plan B twice on Friday nights and both experiences were consistently good. One of Fridays the DJ was amazing and mixed different types of music really well (mainly hip hop with some other cool stuff mixed in). I like Plan B as a low key place to hang out without all the pomp and circumstance of the city. I still like the uppity, cutesy lounges but this place I think is a nice balance and also a great area. Better to get there early since it's not a huge location. I've gotten there at 1 and it was fine, but it's just more ideal to get there earlier.
Pros: great music and atmosphere
Cons: Small

I took a friend here for his birthday and had a lovely experience! We went on a Fri night so the place was busy. Atmosphere is trendy and charming without being pretentious or over done. The dim lighting and decor add a nice touch. Service was good but not great. I felt like they could have showed a bit more attention for the prices. But overall the food really was great! I highly recommend trying it for yourself :)
Pros: food,
Cons: service

I am obsessed with Thai food in general, but Spice is simply amazing. This restaurant is unbelievably cheap, and the food is great! The calamari as an appetizer is the best, 6'oclock train as an entree is delicious, and the whole fish with tamarind sauce is to die for. I've been going here for years, and I've never been disappointed. At night it does get loud, but that's just the scene. If you go for lunch, you can have a quiet meal, and it's usually not as crowded as it is at night. Space is kind of tight, but who cares, the food and the service are wonderful. Waiting time at night is no more than 10-15 minutes. Definitely try this place out once, and I bet you you'll keep on going.
Pros: Great food, service, and prices
Cons: None

I go to Earth kind of a lot for lunch. it is 50% off if you eat in instead of doing take out. The service is fast and the food is very good. I highly reccomend this restaurant for lunch if you are in the area.
Pros: 50% off lunch!
