My wife and I dropped in to dine at the Five Corners in Old Forge NY on a mid-May Thursday evening in 2013, partly out of the overwhelmingly favorable reviews offered by other TripAdvisor reviewers and partly due to the fact that practically every eatery for miles around was closed on this evidently early season Thursday. We both ordered the... More

I love this place for so many reasons. The food is inspired, clean and delicious. In a town where almost everything is served fried, greased, or dipped in batter or whirl, this place shines with the freshest, seasonal ingredients. Paul's creativity, effortless knowledge of flavors, and CIA training never disappoints. Kathy's flair for hospitality, decorating and kindness creates an unparalleled... More

Far and away the most disappointing restaurant experience I've ever had in Old Forge and I've been vacationing there for decades. The service was unbelievably slow on a night when only a few other tables were filled -- over an hour from the time we ordered until our food came. Two entrees were missing a key ingredient and, although we... More

We were so disheartened to read the review you recently posted. We try very hard to provide a positive dining experience and do appreciate the feedback. We truly love what we do and take great pride in offering fresh, creative dishes which change seasonally. I can assure you that the food was fresh, yet perhaps not what you expected and... More

Having eaten here every week for the past two months I can assure you this restaurant is the real thing. The dishes are prepared with fresh ingredients. There are numerous pretenders in Old Forge that over charge for their product but this place is head and shoulders over them.

I expected to get a steak at a place recommended by a local, I did not expect how truly perfect and delicious everything would be. My family ordered the flatiron steak, the duck breast and the aqua vita green salad. My steak was tender, delicious and cooked to a perfect medium rare. Also, our server had no problem with my...

My daughter and I picked up some delicious sandwiches to take back to our cabin. They were delicious, generous and very filling - my son-in-law was impressed by the quality of the sandwich and the cost. I have eaten here one other time and I felt the same. It was a busy October day so naturally there was a slight... More

My husband and I booked a sponateous trip to Old Forge and decided to trush the previous reviews of Five Corners Cafe. 1st I want to speak to the owners....I think the word "cafe" in your name is misleading people into believing you are a breakfast joint only, We almost overlooked you because of it. I have to say, we... More

I eat at this charming cafe at every opportunity I have. The food is scrumptious, wine list nice and beer choice nice as well. Everything is freshly prepared.

As it moves toward being a "year round" tourist destination, Old Forge has added some wonderful new restaurants. The Five Corners cafe is just outstanding. Visiting with my wife and two friends we were all blown away by the food, the service, the price performance of both the wine list and the food menu and the friendliness and pride emanating... More

Very lively and upbeat atmosphere. Food was fresh and tasty, especially the butternut squash soup and Thai noodle salad. Good wine list, and worth the price.
