Inventive small plates with standout veg and solid cocktails; excellent overall, but pacing, time limits, and value perceptions vary.
Five March earns its A- grade through exceptional food quality anchored in inventive small plates and vegetable-forward cooking that inspires repeat visits. Strong service knowledge and attentive hospitality round out a well-executed neighborhood restaurant, though occasional pacing inconsistencies and modest portion sizes prevent the higher distinction needed for grade A territory. The appealing Finnieston setting and loyal following position it competitively among the area's better dining destinations.
One caveat: Pacing varies: some long gaps between waves, others feel rushed near time limits
