5 of us tonight for dinner celebrating 3 birthdays. Again the entire tab was picked up by one person. Extremely generous twice within 2 weeks. Restaurant was packed, glad we had reservations. It has been over 20 years since I dined at Five Crowns. It is located in Corona Del Mar a good 35 to 40 minute drive along the coast highway. Our host had never been to Five Crowns.
Five Crowns is part of Lawry's group of restaurant's and they specialize in Prime Rib. But no silver cart here. Tables are way too close to wheel a large cart around so you can select your cut of beef.
I ordered the lamb chops. Double cut. Excellent flavor. But I ordered medium rare and they were on the rare side. Had issues at Ruth's Chris as those chops were close to medium well. Came with two excellent sauces and carrots. The carrots were diced and barely cooked. This shouldn't happen. I could had sent the plate back but the restaurant was slammed tonight and it just was not worth the hassle.
Did not order any wine with dinner. I am limiting myself to 2 to 3 ounces and need to stick with that until I get my gastric problems solved.
The staff was excellent as far as going overboard on service.
I was going to order Creme Brulee for dessert but they brought us a raspberry trifle cake with a candle on top. It was good.
A nice dinner but a bit on the disappointing side. Especially for the price they charge. I still think 555 East is the best bet.
