The service was outstanding and we were seated in the patio area which couldn’t have been more beautiful. We each had the Five Crowns cut of Prime rib and it was succulent as ever! It was a bit pricey, but worth every flavorful morsel.

When we were taken to our table, it was an inside booth. I asked for outside per our reservation and it took another 20 minutes to be sat. My mom is from England, I thought the 5 crowns would be a nice slice of home for her. But the only good part of this place is the aesthetic. No substance. Food was not worth the price. The food was tired. The carrot risotto looked like mac and cheese left in a pan overnight. Tasted bland, no flavor at all. Hair in my husband’s salad. The mimosas were served in a coupe glass which are aesthetically cute but 2 sips worth—total rip off. Our server Michelle was passive aggressive like she was doing us a favor. I get it’s a busy day, but as someone who’s been in the service industry, don’t do it if you don’t love it. I will never come here again and will tell anyone who asks not to bother.

The staff at five crowns provided an amazing time for our party and we can’t wait to come back to celebrate again. Highly, highly recommend you to book and try to get patio seating. My only critique is that I think the prime rib slices could have been a tad bit hotter as they were getting lukewarm but still delicious and tasty nonetheless.
