   Love overall feel of the place.. also prime ribs still the best in LA as for Lawrys or Five Crown for OC. Book early for holiday or long weekend. The place is popular for local. This is my second kitchen to entertain family and out of town guests.

   They do not disappoint!! We all had the prime rib and it was excellent! The creamed corn and spinach were also hits, along with the scalloped potatoes! It’s such a neat experience here! We all enjoyed ourselves!

    We used to live in Newport Beach and had very memorable times at Five Crowns. We moved from there 20 years ago to the South Bay. We drove down to NB from the South Bay to enjoy a dinner at Five Crowns. It was a rather disappointing night as we were seated in the back room and there was a wedding on the other side of the wall. The music from the wedding was overbearing and really wrecked the whole night. There was music in our dining area and then there was different music from the wedding that was louder than what was playing in our dining room. The wedding music was not what we wanted to here. It may may have been appropriate for a wedding, but it’s not pleasant to listen to rap music while your are trying to have a special night. The restaurant should warn their patrons about the wedding and give them the choice to sit somewhere else, or go somewhere else. By the time we figured out what was going on, it was too late to leave. It is especially disappointing when you drive an hour to get to the restaurant, drop over $300, and have to put up with that kind of a situation.

    Five CrownsResponded on January 17, 2023We never want you to have a disappointing experience at our restaurant. Because we are unable to provide our direct contact information in our responses due to OpenTable policies, please contact the management team directly by calling the restaurant to discuss your experience further.

    The Five Crowns is one of the best places I’ve found to go to dinner. The ambience is beautiful, the service is amazing, the food is out of this world, and even with a wedding event going on at the same time it was still quiet inside. I will be coming back as much as possible from now on.

    We loved our dinner for four the other night. This was a rescheduled holiday event with two of our favorite friends, who had never visited Five Crowns. We went early, so it was very quiet and pleasant, especially with the fire roaring. The food as always was exceptional, service the best, and overall we all four loved the evening. Thank you for being such a special place to celebrate friendship.

    We are a regular at Five Crowns. We had a rain check for the surf and turf special, which comes with salad and choice of dessert. Hostess was very accommodating in answering questions and honoring the special. Waitress was very friendly and checked in several times. Water and bread refills were timely. Food was cooked to request and served hot. All in all - an excellent experience.

    Unfortunately our waiter did not seem to be on the ball. Came and gave us waters and never took our drink order. Returned 15 mins later to take our order ( food and drink). Did not relay any of the specials that we subsequently heard at adjacent tables. Prime rib was good but sides were mediocre. A bit pricy for the experience.

    We went here to celebrate birthdays and because 34 years ago we had a wedding reception here so we were looking forward to a special evening. Unfortunately we were seated in the atrium/garden room which was cold. Mind you, our reservation was early when they opened so there was plenty of room to be seated elsewhere. The service was slow (3 times to ask for water refills; twice for more butter - just as an example), and ALL of our food came out cold. Our waiter never checked to see how our food was after it came out and things really went downhill from there. Very disappointing. Even though a manager spoke with us to comp the evening, we just don't think we will be returning. While waiting in the valet line, two other parties said their experience was the same. Sad to hear for this iconic restaurant.

    We are a regular (VIP) customer, and normally Five Crowns is five star, but yesterday, New Years Day, they were off their game. The table lighting was poor. My creamy leek and celery root soup choice was underwhelming and I swapped it out for the lobster bisque soup which was excellent. The Yorkshire pudding was burnt. The dinner rolls were soft and tasteless when they are normally chewy and wonderful. The au jus served with my prime rib was blah and tasteless. My ordered medium-rare prime rib came a bit overcooked. Our table was blasted with the cold night air for several long minutes while two buss loads of people (a REALLY large dinner party) waltzed in to be seated. Lastly, the waitress caught up with us in the cold, windy parking lot to explain that their computer system screwed up and they needed to re-run my credit card. That took about 15 minutes to clear up. Overall, not a very good experience.

    Disappointed once again which is unfortunate because we have been long time patrons…back to the 70-80’s when service was everything. Covid not withstanding, adequate servers can be outstanding with appropriate training/experience, both of which seem lacking….after waiting 10 minutes to be greeted by our server, and another 10 minutes waiting for our cocktail to arrive we were informed the bar was”out” of Bacardi rum..and would “Captain Morgans” be an adequate substitute…? Seriously, what restaurant the caliber of a Lawrys “run out” of a premium rum? Not the servers fault of course but not offering the chef “specials” of the evening or reminding us to order our “soufflé” ahead of time (30 min prep) until we were offered dessert, nor offered coffee with dessert reveals a lack of training… small details that separate a former great restaurant to the current state of affairs..sadly

    What better spot than Five Crowns to celebrate New Year’s Eve? It was lovely and we always have such a lovely time! We started at Sidedoor for a celebratory cocktail. Their Smoked Old Fashion is delicious! Then we headed into the elegant dining room for dinner. The Pride of the Crown salad and warm rolls with butter were a perfect start. We enjoyed the Lamb Chops and Prime Rib. Peter could not resist the 4 oz. Lobster Tail. Crème Brûlée was a perfect end to our dinner. So good i forgot to snap a picture of that. What a great Team…. From the management to yo servers, the bus boys, the bartenders and an exceptional culinary team. Not sure how they do it! Cheers to 2023.

    We were actually disappointed in our visit this year. We brought my English Mother-in-law for her birthday. She loved the ambiance. We had appetizers, 3 dinners, and dessert. The crab cakes were dry and lacked seasoning. She enjoyed the lamb but was somewhat disappointed in the portion based on the price. She was looking forward to the Yorkshire Pudding but alas it was dry. Not impressed. They brought her an English Trifle as her special birthday dessert but again it was dry. Another table had singers for their birthday but we didn't so we sang ourselves. The chocolate souffle lacked depth of flavor. For 3 bills we expected better. Oh, well.
