Quite honestly, the most incompetent front house employees that ruin decent food I have ever seen. It isn't just rude service, they ruin and miss-serve the food in every way.

I am new to the area, and was looking for decent food.

My first experience was them serving blue cheese with fish and chips rather than tartar sauce, and not apologizing for their mistake until a member of our party realized it. Instead of refunding both fish and chips ($20 per), they gave a single free desert ($10).

My second experience was a terrible waiter that obviously should have been on sick leave. A competent manager convinced us it was a one time event, so we tried again.

Our third experience was actually great. The same competent manager made sure the good food actually reached us. We had a good time, which is unfortunately the last time we will ever go to Inside the Five.

Our fourth, and last experience, was atrocious (1/22/2022). The employees (including the manager) were constantly talking with each other and not dealing with customers. The side dishes were excessively burnt, beyond the point of even reasonable time under a hot lamp. Finally, the person acting as manager was incredibly rude, and was the cause of this review. I don't know the relationship between the employees on this night, but they obviously care more about talking with each other than serving customers.

I will make sure to never recommend this restaurant again, in fact I will recommend to not peruse this restaurant, which is a shame because the food would be decent if it was decently managed.
