Five Crowns

Such an amazing experience. The restaurant has such a cozy feeling. It’s very warm and inviting. Definitely make reservations! We went during OC Restaurant week and it was totally worth the price. We’d definitely go back again.

I really enjoy eating at any of the Lawry's restaurants. This time I came for OC restaurant week. They had a 3 course meal for $50 which came with an appetizer, entree and dessert. We upgrade our prime ribs from the California cut to the Crown cut which is definitely worth the cost. As you would expect, everything was seasoned to perfection. I am looking forward to going back again.

Great for events, with good to excellent food and pretty good service. The renovation a few years ago made it much nicer, and the greenhouse/patio is a great spot if you don't like the dim main area.

That said, have yet to try the full menu since event menus are, by necessity, somewhat limited... so will have to report back later on the full menu.

Also the bar on the side appears to be a solid use of the space, a little crowded but that's how bars should feel, at least in this kind of place!

We enjoy coming here every year to hear the Xmas caroler's during dinner! We kick the evening off at Sidebar with some cocktails and then dinner in the main dining area.

Insider tips! I'd stay away from their steaks. If you're looking for a Morton's, Flemming's, Capital Grille kind of steak, you won't find that here. Stick with what they're known for: their prime rib. Their braised pork and lamb is also good! Creamed corn is delicious! Creamed spinach needed a little more salt. Drinks will be pricey, but to be expected. As for the carolers, they seem to come by the tables a lot less over the years, which is a bummer considering this is our annual tradition. So grab them while you can. They do accept tips as well!

Lastly, you will see Tommy the sommelier! He's a sweet man and has been there for 50 years. Hes super peppy and has such a great spirit about him. Looking forward to seeing him for 50 more years.
