Five Crowns

While I love Lawry’s prime rib and all things associated, they are all (Lawry’s, Five Crowns and Tam o Shanter) hit and miss when it comes to a few things. Service is the biggest issue and opportunity for me. At Five Crowns, they definitely are a little more laid back and don’t ask if you have been there before like at Lawry’s, and front of house is much more welcoming, but I miss the carts! Otherwise, the menu is very much the same except for a few key items like the spinning salad! Lawry’s taught me to like beets! Anyway, the difference here is service for sure. Love how everyone greets you from beginning to end, not always the case at Beverly Hills :). While the service was great, only one name comes to mind and he was the last person I interacted with. Lester at the bar was fantastic! Not cause I was drunk of got a great drink, but he was attentive, engaging and also happened to hear me from a distance talking to the manager who seemed confused and dismissive. I brushed it off as another Lawry’s type service miss, but Lester quickly stepped in and made a non issue/pass through a great experience!!! Love that and the little things that make eating out that much more fun! I plan to be back just for him, because eating out should be fun. Great food is everywhere, but having a great time eating is not.

Trinity created a delicious charcuterie board for us to start with, followed by a signature Crown salad, pretzel, and lobster bisque. Our friend had the prime rib and I had the prime rib sandwich (California style) with chips. My wife had an interesting entree I never did figure out. Our server, Evan (?), was incredible, the staff were all very polite, including Anthony who kept our table looking great. Overall an incredible experience. We'll definitely be back again!

On our most recent trip to Newport this was my favorite meal. I was surprised to see some more contemporary menu items. Dry aged fish, roasted sunchokes with hazelnuts, the type of stuff you'd expect to see at a spot aspiring for a James Beard nomination. I might try that stuff one day but let's be real, I go to places like these for the prime rib. And on our visit it was probably the best I've ever had out of any restaurant, Lawry's or otherwise. Service, decor, and food all on point. Very corkage friendly at $25. This is the type of place I want to come back to again and again.

If you love a good prime rib then come here! Had dinner reservations and came early to have a drink at the bar which is on the pub side. Classic English pub style feel, great drinks and fun friendly bartenders, Andrew and Mike. Dining experience was fantastic with Patty as our server. Very excited to tell us about the restaurant as it was our first time there. Quick service and all food was delicious. Look forward to going back.

This steakhouse could be a real gem, but the quality of the experience hinges entirely on the waitstaff you get. My steak itself was decent, though not mind-blowing – perhaps a bit on the expected side for a high-end steakhouse. Coming from New York City with its abundance of incredible steakhouses, I may be a little spoiled. However, the saving grace of the night was our server, Vicky. She was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure our every need was met and our dining experience enjoyable. Her positive attitude and excellent service really elevated the evening.
