Elegantly set on the fifth floor of Hotel Palomar, it seems only fitting that beautiful Fifth Floor's bar and lounge is well-loved by corporate barons and other ritzy revelers. The adjacent dining room is sedate and outfitted with drum lights casting a sultry glow on inlaid wood floors, leather armchairs, and a lavish wine cellar. A casual dining experience can be had amidst the refined servers and wood tables dressed with sparkling silverware. Such flush accessories keep fine company with contemporary plates of oysters done five ways (béarnaise, caviar, rouille, cucumber, chowder, and mignonette); Mendocino uni flan wth Dungeness crab "fondue" and saffron; lamb married with rye berries, pickled raisins, and yogurt; and a milk chocolate mousse bombe.
