Katie and I took in brunch at Wolfgang Puck's new place, Five Sixty. It opened in late February and we have tried to visit many times, only to find reservations were already filled. This place is busy! We finally squeezed in brunch this Sunday.
Like Antares before it, however, I think that Five Sixty relies a great deal on atmosphere. Not that the food was bad, mind you. In fact, several dishes were delicious. However, on the whole, it was not worth the $35 ticket price plus $12 per drink.
Since it is Asian based, part of their menu displays this talent. There was a very good Chinese Chicken Salad that had candied cashews. They had an elegant run of typical breakfast foods: blueberry pancakes, cheesy/scallion grits, mascarpone and almond stuffed French toast, bacon, and an omelet station. There was also a yummy homemade honey-yogurt and granola parfait. They had some a-typical dishes like their honey-licorice glazed pork chop and their ten vegetable fried rice. And while it was good, it didn't blow our socks off. For that price, we feel like it should. :) Just our humble opinion, of course. And honestly, you can't beat the view. Here are some pics...take a look for yourself:
