   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!

   7th Christmas Eve dinner but this time food was really disappointing. Wilted sad salad. Rubbery duck. Creme brulee that tasted like scrambled eggs with soggy brulee. Lamb, prime rib, cocktails, and service was great though.

   Five Crowns Corona Del Mar has lost some of its luster from days gone by. Food is good. Service is friendly, not refined. Attention seems to be given more to operation of the restaurant than to diner experience. Festive Christmas holiday atmosphere prevails.

   Restaurant Review: 5 Crowns, Corona del Mar, Ca I recently dined at 5 Crowns with high hopes, given its reputation and charming ambiance for the holiday season. While the food itself was quite good, the overall experience left much to be desired, primarily due to the service. I made a reservation for 7:30 PM and arrived with my guest early, a 93-year-old senior. Despite being a party of two and ordering nothing particularly complex, we didn’t leave the restaurant until after 10 PM. This was a frustratingly long wait, especially as we watched other tables who arrived after us finish their meals and leave while we were still waiting for ours. The most disappointing part was the lack of communication or acknowledgment from the staff. At no point did management—apologize for the delay and the delay was later blamed on the lamb (which Om not buying) For a restaurant of this caliber, I would have expected far better. Afterall this isnt their first rodeo. While the food was enjoyable, the excessively long wait overshadowed the quality of the meal. Dining here should be about the full experience, not just the food, and unfortunately, that part was lacking. I’m hesitant to return, especially if bringing another elderly guest who deserves a more respectful and accommodating experience.

   Five Crowns was beautifully decorated for Christmas and had Carolers singing for each table. It was magical. The menu was limited because of the holiday, but with enough variety for everyone. If you like Prime Rib, you won't be disappointed.

   We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience upstairs this holiday season. The food was terrific, wonderful staff, and we enjoyed the white table cloth dining upstairs had to offer, which was reminiscent of the older days of The Five Crowns before it became more casual to accommodate the masses. I live down the street and I look forward to dining here more frequently after this most recent dinner.

    The ambience with carolers and decor and service were excellent. The food was disappointing, with overcooked beef and fairly tasteless duck. We usually have a more tasty meal.
