 The entrance to this glamorous spot is off of an alleyway, through a pulsating nightclub and up the freight elevator of the former warehouse. From there, you step into a chic, candlelit room with a long bar, pale wood details and white tablecloths. During winter, there are sofas by a warming fire; come summer, a wood-roofed terrace affords a prime perch for al fresco dining. Chef Jay Suppiah is in the tiny kitchen, and he and his well-trained staff turn out classic steakhouse fare with upscale twists. Breads are baked daily; all soups and sauces are made in-house; and fries are hand-cut. Newfoundland crab cake is delicate and fresh with a crispy exterior. We also suggest the wild mushroom risotto with shaved Parmesan and truffle oil with its expertly cooked, slightly al dente rice. Rib-eye is 30-day dry-aged, and filet mignon arrives juicy and rare. The choice of complimentary steak sauces includes foie gras, Argentinean chimichurri, peppercorn and classic bordelaise. For something decadent, try the Fifth's poutine---fries topped with lobster, lobster sauce, shrimp and cheese curds. Sommelier Dan Volway is a pro at suggesting wines by the glass from the list of mainly French and Californian options augmented with some Italian, Canadian, Australian and other new-world bottles. Desserts are classics, such as house-made ice cream.
