Opened in 1965, Five Crowns features Continental cuisine including U.S.D.A. Prime beef, poultry, fresh fish and seasonal selections.  Over the years, the Five Crowns has earned a reputation for serving excellent food and offering a fine and extensive wine list.  The building has been noted in guidebooks and historical papers as a landmark – North America’s most authentic replica of an English country inn.  It has served generations of loyal customers, many of whom choose it to celebrate the most special occasions of their lives.

The restaurant has earned the Automobile Club of Southern California Four-Diamond Award, the Mobil Travel Guide Four-Star Award, and the DiRoNA Award, marking it as one of the more distinguished restaurants of North America.  It has also received the Wine Spectator Grand Award, the Southern California Restaurant Writers’ Gold Award, and the Golden Bacchus Award for its wine list.
