Mansions on Fifth – The Oak Room

We made a quick first visit to the Mansions on Fifth for a drink before dinner at Legume on a Friday night. This place makes a great first impression.

The imposing door that leads into the beautiful main room with the two dining rooms to the right and the sitting room and bar to the left. Fantastic wood work everywhere you look. I could only imagine what it was like to live in this place.

The bar was good, mainly because of the room it’s in and the service. The drink menu is smallish but has a nice mix. We tried the Sazerac (excellent) and the New Fashioned (very good.) We’re going back for dinner on Valentine’s day so we’ll see how the food stacks up.
