Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Corona del Mar

Mark & Niko & entire Five Crowns Staff provided all of Us with a once in a lifetime experience that can’t be duplicated anywhere else. Throw in the incredible four Charles Dickens’s Carolers & You reach Perfection; not to be matched anywhere else. The Henry VIII Prime Rib medium rare cut was to die for. Tender, delicious & expertly presented. Perfection. The Wine list, incredible bread display, lobster bisque soup, cream corm, cream spinach & mashed potato were out of this world. Top if off with CC’s homemade sundae & you’ve a recipe for mouth watering success. You must experience once. Jim Cruickshank of Lemon Heights.

We had a beautiful Christmas Dinner- our waiter was amazing and there was an other man who - every time I started to lift and pour water into our goblets was right there immediately to take the bottle from my hand and continue with the pouring - very nice! He was very kind!

Food was great, and service was second to none. Surprised us with a dessert for our anniversary. From start to finish, a great experience.

We had a great meal, accompanied by great service and lovely ambiance, at the Newport Beach location this evening. Highly recommend!
