    The hostess and servers worked with me to make our Valentine’s dinner extra special. The place is not cheap, but the food is always great.

    Fantastic experience with the Crown Tavern. Service was fast and efficient. I had their schnitzel which was hot, fresh and delicious and one of the best schnitzels I've ever had... and I lived in Europe for several years. We also got the fig and prosciutto pizza. It was excellent as well. We like one-page menus because restaurants tend to do limited menus better than larger menus and this was no exception. It's half a block to a parking garage and across the street from the Palace Theater so it's also in a great location. Highly recommend!

    Mike's never disappoints! We had dinner there this week to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Everything was so delicious, from the bread all the way to our cannolis. The spaghetti that went with my meal was obviously homemade and was just to die for. It was cooked perfectly. Chloe, our server, was the best! She really did an outstanding job.
