At Five Crowns, each crown is a star. The building seems like its from a couple centuries ago in England (or something like that). If you want to use their parking lot, its mandatory valet, but you could probably find parking away from the restaurant for free if you looked. Something to note about this place is that its pretty classy. They expect the same from its guests, which means no shorts and scrubby clothing (my normal clothing). The plus about this is that the meal feels more meaningful than say a meal at your local Denny’s (yay?).

Now if you’re coming to this restaurant, don’t expect to have many spectacular veggie options; this place is known for Prime Rib. It’s owned by Lawry’s, which pretty much means you KNOW it has quality meat. As it was my birthday I just ordered whatever, and started with some lobster bisque, which was super creamy. I ordered the Henry VIII cut of prime rib: 20 oz of meat and bone goodness. (Un)Fortunately for my stomach, we ordered souffle and also got a free birthday strawberry trifle. Incidentally the trifle tasted better than the souffle, but both tasted good overall.

Great service, food, and atmosphere (its not too stuck-up). If you’re willing to spend a little more for some good food, not a bad option.

if you’ve been to lawry’s in LA or house of prime rib in SF, then five crowns will be a familiar visit for you red meat-eaters. the prime rib is the reason for dining here, as it is superb. the atmosphere is refined, sailing/ships-themed, and very old-school classy. service is stellar, as you might expect from a place such as 5 crowns.

the only difference is there’s no spinning salad or big grey meat push-cart.

It feels like your in England and taste like your in heaven. a terrific high in resturant. you have to get the prime rib when you go there!
