Description

It was slim pickings as far as dinner was concerned during the recent DUMBO studio crawl, with Superfine and Bubby's Brooklyn jammed with scenesters. We hesitated at the door of Five Front, having heard mixed reviews, but once inside were charmed by the relaxing decor of this small house dwarfed by the Brooklyn Bridge. The lush and perfectly dressed salads-one featuring endive, baby arugula, walnuts, red grapes, and blue cheese-impressed us, but one of the highlights of the evening was the chocolate cake served with mint chocolate chip ice cream. Although the dessert menu changes every two weeks, it's worth a shot seeing if it'll be there.
