Eating at 5th Avenue Cafe is like riding on a roller coaster. Some dishes hit high points of flavor and freshness while others take away the thrill of the ride. But knocking socks off isn't its mantra. Serving decent, reasonably priced breakfast and lunch with a smile is the goal, and to that end, the cafe mostly succeeds. Even if you’re not after the food, you sometimes can catch some live music.
