Five O Three: Where Extraordinary Dining Meets Unmatched Service

For years I've avoided this place despite the fact I live only a few blocks from the restaurant. I thought this was a hoity toity establishment with overpriced food. Boy was I wrong!! First of all, the service is warm and friendly, the atmosphere is chill and laid back and best of all the food is excellent and well worth every penny. My friend and I went here for happy hour (by now we've tried half a dozen places for happy hour). I had the pasta of the day which was pork shank sauce with bespoke pasta. It was soooooo good with plenty of meat and a thick unctuous sauce. At $13 it was such a good value. If I had to find a flaw it would be that since the pasta was folded into a cannoli shape, the center part with multiple layers was a bit more al dente than I like but that's a minor quibble. Overall it had an excellent flavor with a generous portion. My friend had the sirloin burger for $10 which she said was delicious. Also a good size. As usual she had the house wine and I had fresh made lemonade with cranberry juice. Both were excellent.

Wow: this place is amazing. Service providers from bartender to table: friendly, knowledgeable, & professional. Wil was great and created a fantastic guest experience. Don’t miss out on booking your next dining experience here. BTW, the French onion soup was exceptional!!!

Overall, great food, great service. My wife and I got the gluten-free pizza, they accommodated and made the pizza very delicious. The calamari and the sauces on the side are very fresh and they tasted amazing. Walked in to pick up my order and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this location for any dinner night or date night. 10 out of 10.

I came here tonight to support my friends band that was performing here, and decided to order some dinner. ZERO regrets!! I had the mushroom risotto and a wedge salad, both were amazing. I’ve had a mushroom risotto at Hell’s Kitchen and this restaurants risotto blows HK’s risotto out of the water!! I will definitely be back. Good times, great service and delicious food!

You know it’s going to be fun when the bartender is fabulous! Shout out the JR as he is the vibe of the whole restaurant and bar. Seating at the bar is fun with great service! He has his own drink: The Red Lotus! Don’t miss it! Food is great with a good happy hour menu. Parking is easy and during the summer great outdoor seating options. On Monday they have a 3 course Italian dinner and on Tuesday’s a 3 course “supply chain” dinner which changes every week! If you haven’t been here GO! We had a great time and will go back soon.

We were here on a rainy Sunday and it was pretty dead. They have a family meal special on Sunday: two salads, roasted brussel sprouts, and two 12” pizzas for $50. We did the Italiano and Fennel Sausage pizzas. Both salads came with a creamy dressing. It would have been nice to have two different kind of dressings like an oil based one to mix it up. They forgot to put the olives on our pizza, which we had to point out, and so got them on the side afterwards. Everything tasted pretty good. I really enjoyed the Italian style pizza crust and the brussel sprouts still had a crunch.

503 is back to high quality food and service again. John is back in charge. The cocktails are excellent, the happy hour menu is great and the regular menu is excellent. Try the Mac n cheese. Chicken Marsala and Chicken Parm. As good as Avanti or in some ways better. So lucky to have both in town.

Where the service lacks, the kitchen more than compensates. Very talented and very impressive. I could have eaten the fresh corn soup with a straw then ask for more. The heirloom salad is an experience. My husband’s steak was cooked to perfection as was everything else. Will be back.
