 Owned by the Frank and Van de Kamp clan of Lawry’s fame, Five Crowns has the distinction of being the region’s oldest restaurant. However, a modest renovation has allowed the venue to reclaim some youth, as brighter lights and lightened furniture schemes have given its charming old-world-style interior a sense of refreshing warmth---an ambience that fits in nicely with the elegant garden patio. Executive chef Ryan Wilson uses the updated backdrop to infuse new, seasonally-based culinary concepts into a menu replete with traditional seafood, steak and chop entrées, including the legendary prime rib. The wine list is first-rate, though the best bottles are found on the Captain's List, which must be specially requested. Additionally, Five Crowns carved its SideDoor gastropub from the tiny lobby, bar and former Shakespeare private room. Here, guests can enjoy Five Crowns in a more casual way, which includes ordering up flights of wine and beers, along with modern pub grub like international cheeses, charcuterie, seasonal small plates and fish ‘n’ chips. Beware: As in any good old English building, a resident ghost reportedly stirs up trouble on the second floor.
