Golden Hour Is My Happy Hour

Date nights during Golden Hour will definitely elevate your date and shine in a new light. Just imagine an elevated experience overlooking the Hollywood hills, a classy setting without leaving the comfort of regular clothes, delicious food and cocktails, acoustic music and the soft glow of the setting sun. Five on the Hill will definitely set the foreground for an intimate dinner and also make the perfect back drop to unwind with family and friends. Did I mention it's an outdoor dining experience next to Universal Studios!? A true hidden gem that can take you from the parks to relaxation in a short walk from the mayhem of a theme park.

As a regular I do love to frequent here all days of the week. Taco Tuesday specials are an excellent way to unwind with delicious margarita flights for $15 or knock it out with just one signature margarita for the same price. The flights are an absolute delight for anyone wanting to get that amazing Instagram photo. Usually when I visit on taco tuesday it is with a party of 3 so we tend to share our food. I will be honest even though two tacos is not bad, I feel one more taco would hit the spot just right to be considered filling. My personal favorite is the Wannabe Vegan however our entire table will agree the Barbacoa is the defending champ. Having trouble deciding? Why not opt in for the taco flight which also makes deciding and sharing easier.

The real star of any night will definitely be date nights during Golden Hour. The setting sun casting a soft glow, sitting around one of the firepits which are very wheelchair friendly or high-top over looking the hillside. Serenade your senses with a wine flight or premium glass for $10, or delicious bites to tame any appetite. Listening to the sound of acoustic music, the smell of "Drunken Nuts" being prepared table side make for a personal experience. From 5pm-7pm you can do just that. You don't need a date to enjoy this amazing time but it is definitely one of my favorite datenight places to visit. Although I am a flights girl my partner and I are cocktail enthusiasts. The Gold Rush is as beautiful as the setting sun with flakes of gold to garnish your drink and surrounds your taste buds with a sweet bourbon kiss. My personal favorite is their Smokin' Cherry. A drink with its own presentation will definitely catch everyone's attention.

As someone who cannot always walk on my own I do love how accommodating dining here is. They are welcoming for guest of all abilities and have ample room for my wheelchair. After a day in the parks with family and friends we usually opt to take the complimentary hotel shuttle from city walk over to the restaurant. Having a handicap shuttle makes getting here extremely easy and I highly recommend using it for any park goer. If you are just coming to dine, there is parking available at the hotel and Five on the Hill offers validation. I love having options for places to go with my wheelchair and this place provides multiple seating options to remain in my chair or transfer to a regular seat at the table. Overall Five on the Hill will provide an incredible dining experience for all and is a winning hidden gem located within the Hollywood Hills.
