The wait staff (all levels) were friendly and attentive to ensuring we had everything we needed. The kitchen was extremely slow and it took about an hour for our main meal to be served.

Mark & Niko & entire Five Crowns Staff provided all of Us with a once in a lifetime experience that can’t be duplicated anywhere else. Throw in the incredible four Charles Dickens’s Carolers & You reach Perfection; not to be matched anywhere else. The Henry VIII Prime Rib medium rare cut was to die for. Tender, delicious & expertly presented. Perfection. The Wine list, incredible bread display, lobster bisque soup, cream corm, cream spinach & mashed potato were out of this world. Top if off with CC’s homemade sundae & you’ve a recipe for mouth watering success. You must experience once. Jim Cruickshank of Lemon Heights.

Phenomenal experience at the Five Crowns celebrating parents’ 50th anniversary. Our server- can’t recall her name- was incredibly personable and made the experience so joyful and memorable. Even with how busy it was, we felt as if we were the only ones there with wonderful things ran. The carolers were incredibly talented and served as an wonderful addition to the night. Take a bow, Five Crowns. You deserve it for the stellar experience.

Our server was exceptional. We didn't get the table we usually want but we made reservations late on Christmas Eve and didn't specify. Food was great, service and drinks were outstanding as usual!

Had 5:00 reservations on Christmas Eve. My daughter and her husband wanted to be home by 7 for their two young children. We were seated promptly and had our order in by 5:20 telling them we were in a bit of rush. Salads came out in 15 minutes. Main course didn't show up for another hour. Three prime ribs were ordered med rare, one rare. They all came out cooked the same. Rare. Mine was cold in the middle. Didn't have the time to send them back to the kitchen so my daughter and her husband ate a few bites, got a to go box and had to leave. It was a disappointing Christmas Eve dinner
