Crown Room is an elegant dining experience tucked away in a quiet intimate setting inside The New Downs Casino.

We can boast about the incredible food, wine selections, our selection of ten 18 year or older scotchs, our large selection of Kentucky Bourbons and atmosphere…but what you won’t believe is the impeccable service. We don’t want to spoil the fun and surprises, but what we can tell you, Albuquerque is now in for an incredible treat.

Don’t believe us? Take a moment to view the wine list and menu. If you want to give your palate and your dining companion a flavorful adventure, there just isn’t a better option than The Crown Room.

Please dress for success. We suggest discourage cut off, gym shorts and flip flops.

You have to go through the casino to get to the restaurant which means you have to get carded to enter the building. It felt a little institutional. The Wine list was OK, but no vintages listed, staff not able to make specific pairing recommendations. The wines by the glass were (as mentioned in prev reviews) not abundant and not great quality. The staff was very attentive and sweet and definitely were trying to make it an excellent experience. Bread was brought immediately to our table and was quite good. We ordered the chateaubriand and it was cooked perfectly. It was listed "for two" but it was brought out on one plate and we were given an extra plate to divide it ourselves...I found that odd...I expected it to be carved tableside as I have had in other restaurants. Would have liked to tried the flambeed desserts...they sounded delicious. Glad we tried it, doubt we will go back.

They canceled their Mother’s Day brunch without any notice. People were showing up for their reservations only to find out they were not open. No text message, no email, no phone call. I asked to speak to a manager and they the person at the players club said the manager was busy. Awful experience.

Our meal/experience was utterly amazing. From arriving at our table and finding fresh water already poured, to immediate courteous service. We were never rushed to finish a course. The chef came over to our table checking to see that our steaks were enjoyable. They were incredible. They Crown Room beats Ruth Chris any day!

The restaurant has a good ambience. We tried the Puerto Bello mushroom dish and the chicken saltimbocca. The Porto Bello mushrooms tasted as if they have been soaked in vinegar so you could not taste the other spices and were a little tough. The Cook was very gracious and we were not charged for that meal. The chicken Saltimbocca had a good taste and was very moist. The cherries Jubilee was excellent. The wait staff was unfortunately short staffed and it took many reminders from us to check on our food. The wait staff was very kind and gracious overall though.

Our table was wobbly. Our waitress had never waited tables before, hardly knew anything about 5-star & didn't seem to be getting any direction from other staff. Once she found out we wanted water, she check if she could refill often. However, she brought 3 courses within 2 min, not giving us any time to eat. We did try to help her along very politely, yet she was clearly annoyed by normal requests. (Please don't put a "food court" server in a w5-star venue ever again! We left her a nice tip and thanked her for trying so hard.

Terrific dinner - couldn't ask for better. I ordered Filet Mignon which was cooked exactly the way I like it. Medium - tender and juicy. The triple cheese au gratin potatoes were over the top, delicious and full of flavor. Vegetable medley was beautiful in it's presentation and cooked just right. Atmosphere was perfect, soft music in the background and dimmed lighting to create the mood. Definitely recommend the Crown Room to family and friends.

A Hidden Gem in Albuquerque. An awesome dining experience from every aspect! We will be back to dine in this beautiful restaurant to experience more of the menu! Only one suggestion: the bread was common diner read and not in keeping with the gourmet food offered on the menu. Perhaps an Artisan Bread freshly baked onsite!
