Disappointing Experience – Not Worth the Price I had high expectations for both the food and service, but unfortunately, this visit fell far short. •Fixed Menu: Below average, and the dessert was downright sad. •Wine: Ordered by the glass ($19), but it was undrinkable. Glad I didn’t risk trying the pricier options. •Service: Beyond delayed. Despite a 6:45 PM reservation, we weren’t seated until 7:30 PM—in a back corner. Our food didn’t arrive until 8:50 PM. •Overall Value: For a restaurant at this price point, the experience did not justify the cost. The first impression didn’t match the upscale reputation, and I wouldn’t return. Wouldn’t recommend, especially for a special night out.

Everything was great, but there was a wedding reception that was also happening while we were dining. So the noise level was higher than you would expect in my opinion. I would just check next time that there are no special events before making my reservation.

Had a day after valentines day dinner with my girlfriend at the Five Crowns. We enjoyed crab cake and calamari for appetizers and both ordered the crown cut (10 ounce) prime rib cooked medium rare for our main dishes with sides of creamed corn and mashed potatoes. Everything was excellent and tasted fantastic. We will definitely return.

Our 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.
