- GGloriaVIPLos Angeles •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOur first time at five crowns. It was Valentine’s Day so it was very busy. Which was a good indication. It was well worth the wait. We had reservations. The weight was maybe 20 minutes past our reservation. The service was very good from the check-in to the server. Our servers, Will, he was very knowledgeable about everything from food to wine and dessert. If you go there, I definitely recommend the prime rib. I think it is the best I’ve ever had. And we are avid steakhouse goers. My husband had a prime rib and I had a fillet, which was also good. But next time I will definitely get the prime rib.

- OTOpenTable DinerOrange County •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoHostess named Sam acknowledged us as soon as we walked in out of the pouring rain. She got us seated earlier than I expected and she was friendly. The rest was amazing, but just the small things entering for the first time mean a lot.More infoA Restaurant - Original Location on Newport BlvdPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Newport Beach•4.8
- JJilleOrange County •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoI made reservations. I chose this restaurant because none of my guests had eaten here before and to celebrate a friend's 91st birthday. for a friend. When I made the reservations I requested a table overlooking the nursery. There was no wait when we arrived. They accommodated us with a table I requested. The overall service was excellent. The waitress, Becca was pleasant, knowledgeable about the menu, and very attentive. She came back several times during our lunch to make sure everything was okay and to see if we needed anything. Everyone raved about the food. Three or us ordered the tuna sandwich and one ordered the burger. It was all excellent. Remembering we were there to celebrate a birthday, Becca brought out a complimentary dessert with a candle. The whole experience for me and my guests couldn't have been better. We will definitely be returning and bringing more friends.More infoFarmhouse at Rogers GardensPrice: Expensive• American• Corona del Mar•4.8
