This restaurant is a gem! From start (Savanna Salad) to entree (Lobster Ravioli and Scallops) to dessert (Bananas Foster prepared in front of you), you will not be disappointed. The waitstaff is attentive and courteous. It is a wonderful dining experience!
The Crown Room is something of an anomaly. It wants to recreate the old school glamour of fine dining in a casino however when the casino in question is mostly penny slots in a horse racetrack located at the edge of a part of town commonly referred to as "The War Zone" then you're more likely to share a restroom with someone with face tattoos rather than someone from the Rat Pack. The actual restaurant itself is also a mix of contradictions. On most visits the food has been top-notch and served to perfection. Other times I've received over fried calamari burnt to a crisp. My last visit was similar with excellent food though served with chipped plates, extremely water spotted wine glasses and an odd refusal to offer new forks between courses with an overwhelmed wait staff. Though I suppose as long as people are willing to gamble then The Crown Room will be subsidized by their losses and stick around in all its contradictory glory.
