The Fifth Gate

What The Fifth Gate does

The FIFTH is a single-location rooftop restaurant and bar operating on the 5th floor of the Grand Legacy at the Park hotel in Anaheim, California, directly across Harbor Boulevard from Disneyland Resort. Founded on May 28, 2016, the 5,000-square-foot open-air venue offers California-inspired small plates and entrées (priced $14–$65), a craft cocktail program with rotating seasonal and themed menus (cocktails $10–$21), and panoramic views of Disneyland fireworks. The venue is family-owned and operated, with capacity for up to 150 seated guests or 300 standing.

The business operates across four primary revenue streams: dine-in food and beverage sales, private event hosting (corporate events, weddings, and social celebrations for parties of 7–300), e-gift card sales via Toast Tab, and an exclusive Grab & Go takeout service for Grand Legacy at the Park hotel guests (offered at a 15% discount). Reservations are processed through Tock and Yelp Reservations; event bookings are handled by an in-house Special Events team with a non-refundable deposit of 10% of total or $500 (whichever is greater). Operating hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 5 PM to close, with private events available across additional dates. Themed nightly programming (Tiki Tuesday, Whiskey Wednesday, Taco 'bout Thursday) plus live DJ entertainment on Friday and Saturday evenings drive repeat visitation.

The technology layer is built entirely on third-party SaaS — Tock, Yelp Reservations, Toast Tab, and Universe.com (for ticketed events) — with no proprietary software, mobile application, or AI/ML capabilities disclosed. Marketing is conducted through organic social media (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X), Yelp/TripAdvisor review accumulation, email newsletter, and themed event activations. The customer base comprises five overlapping segments: Disneyland tourist diners, corporate event clients (Anaheim Convention Center proximity), wedding and social celebration hosts, Grand Legacy hotel guests, and local/industry regulars. Jason Girard has served as Director of Food & Beverage since opening day, and Executive Chef Ernesto Hernandez (formerly Patina Restaurant Group) was added in 2026 as the venue enters its 10th anniversary year.
