Five Crowns Restaurant

I know it's easy to come on here and just check 5 stars for all categories just to get the survey done but this is truly a situation where all 5 categories deserve at 5 Star rating. We highly recommend Margo and Five Crowns for a wedding. Our guests are still talking about our wedding. It was the most amazing time. Margo is the best ever. The class of Five Crowns is amazing. We look forward to frequently eating at five crowns because it will forever remind us of the day we became one. In addition to the food is super good. We have some amazing pictures from the wedding.

Thank you forever,
Jenna and Jerry Rodriguez

it was wonderful! the food was fantastic and the staff went above and beyond.

We planned our wedding at Five Crowns with Margo Barsk, the wonderful, highly patient and responsive manager, from Philadelphia. Margo was generous with her time and worked with us via email and telephone to plan a beautiful, intimate wedding ceremony and reception. Everything was perfect, the venue beautiful, the food delicious, and the service superb!

Margo was phenomenal -- we booked our July wedding last September, and I probably set the record for emailing Margo with the most number of questions that a MOB could possibly ask, spanning over the course of almost 10 months. Each and EVERY time, Margo responded immediately and professionally. My daughter heard about the Five Crowns' wedding site from several customers at her work. We immediately fell in love with the venue and the friendliness of the staff. The wedding garden and greenhouse dining areas are wonderful "as is"', but now with the remodel and the centerpieces we added, I was captivated by the elegant and intimate ambiance that struck me on my daughter's wedding day. We received so many compliments! Margo was so helpful and attentive, making sure our needs were met and taking care of everything behind the scenes so I could relax and enjoy myself. She even catered to my husband's request for a slice of rare prime rib and sent him home with an extra thick slice! I could go on and on -- my daughter and her husband thoroughly basked in their moment, and the setting truly set the tone. I am a "value conscious" consumer, and the Five Crowns wedding package exceeded my expectations (and based on reading prior reviews, I had high expectations). Thank you Margo, for helping make our wedding such a success!

Our wedding at Five Crowns was absolutely perfect! Everything came off flawlessly! Margo was amazing and took care of the smallest detail! The food was delicious, the service impeccable, and the setting divine! The vendors Margo suggested, Younglove Photography and French Buckets Florist, were also fantastic! I cannot say enough good things about having your wedding at Five Crowns... particularly with Margo in charge! It was truly the most beautiful day of our lives. Thank you Margo and Five Crowns!

We love this restaurant when we have dinner here. For our reception it was even better. Margo was very helpful and the staff were attentive and provided great service. The remodeled patio was a great location and every one of our guests said they had a wonderful time and the food was great.

For years and years I had said that if I ever married the wedding would be at Five Crowns. My day finally came and it was everything I could have ever hoped for. I have received so many compliments from my guests. The weather was less than perfect but Margo worked through that with us and everything went smoothly.

We were EXTREMELY pleased with Margo and the Five Crowns. The service/food were the best.
Margo was invaluable and it gave us such confidence to know that she was there. We never worried about anything as we knew Margo "was there". She managed everything with such skill and was always there when we needed something and she has the inate ability to forsee potential problems and she handled everything with such aplomb and tack. She is the absolutely best

The food was delicious and artfully displayed. The service was impecable. The staff was friendly and engaging. The day couldn't have been more beautiful or perfect! It all went off without a hitch. I couldn't be more pleased with how the day unfolded.
Many thanks to Margo and the rest of the staff at Five Crowns Restaurant for making it a perfect day!

Five Crowns is the perfect place for a daytime wedding. It's a beautiful outdoor setting for you ceremony and close to the beach for pictures after the reception. Five Crowns is known for their wonderful food. You and your guests will not be disappointed at the wonderful meal. Margo Brask is there by your side to help you with every detail. Two of our daughters have been married at the Five Crowns and we feel it's the best kept secret in Orange County.

Everything was perfect. Margo Brask was so professional and easy to work with. She kept everything organized and on track. The ambiance was beautiful, the food delicious, the environment personal and intimate. Our guests all had the same feedback.
Thank you Margo for making our day so special!!

Our daughter had her reception at the Five Crowns and everything was just perfect!! Margo was wonderful. I would recommend the Five Crowns to anyone who is thinking of having a reception there.

Wonderful atmosphere. Very helpful and knowledgeable event coordinator.

The venue I was looking for to host my son and his brides wedding was one that would be intimate for family and friends to celebrate their special occasion. The Five Crowns provided this environment and great personal service. Margo, the catering manager was an amazing hostess and clearly understands the expectations and managed the complete venue effortlessly with a great deal of professionalism, ensuring a complete thorough event with no detail missed. The setting it self, on a private patio was beautiful enhancing our overall experience. Additonally, the vendor's I choose to work with (offered by Margo) including the French Buckets for floral design and arrangements, Harpist, Ellie Choate and the Rev. Russell Williams were individually superb, each extending themselves to create a first class event. I can highly recommend the service of Margo Brask and the Five Crowns.

I researched venues for three months prioir to booking the Five Crowns and no one offered as much for such a great price. We had had access to the entire restaurant and garden for the whole day, along with wonderful food and service, it was an amazing day. Margo Brask was a pleasure to work with and helped us along the way with all our arrangements, my wedding day ran smoothly and was so organized we were really able to sit back and enjoy ourselves. The ambience of the place is so romantic and the staff is super friendly, it was a pleasure to work with them to create my perfect wedding day!

Our wedding day went exactly as planned and Five Crowns and Margo Brask played a very large part in making that happen. We rented the entire facility for our mid-day Friday wedding and everything was absolutely perfect down to the smallest detail. There were no surprises and our guests were catered to by the staff. The Five Crowns team works with you and your vendors to make sure everything is perfect. I would highly recommend Five Crowns for your wedding. You'll be surprised at the affordability and won't be surprised by the great quality that you'll be expecting.

We could not be happier with our experience!!!! It was Margot that made the whole thing work. Her experience and advice allowed us to be secure that this event would go well. We thank Five Crowns and we thank Margot more for an event that everyone who attended enjoyed and made it a point to tell us that they were positively impressed.

Margo and the staff were amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant for events. We are so pleased to have celebrated our special day at Five Crowns. We are trying to figure what other event we can have there! The food presentation was amazing and the delicious. The servers were courteous and professional and Margo was right there making sure everything was going smoothly. I cannot thank Five Crows enough for helping us host such a wonderful and memorable party!

My husband and I were married on May 27, 2010. This was a destination for us and so all our planning was done over the the phone and by email from Canada. We wer SO lucky to have worker with Margo. She made the planning extremely easy. She was also able to recommend to us some other wonderful vendors such as the cake maker, florist.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at Five Crowns!! This venue was just fantastic. We hoad the ceremony and reception at the restaurant. The set up for the ceremony was in the back garden was just beatutiful. The reception was on the patio over looking the garden. Once again, Margo and her staff decorated the tables and patio with the decorations, linens, chair cover, wedding favors that we had brought to her the day before. The room was decorated exactly how we had hoped and was beautiful. The staff had done a wonderful job with very little direction.

The meal, food and service was beyond words. The appetizers and food was wonderful. The staff was top notch and provided incredible service.

I would highly recommend this venue to any couple planning a wedding. The venue is beautiful and the staff incredible. Our guests our still taliking about what a beautiful day and wonderful reception we had!

Perfect! Perfect! Perfect! We loved having our wedding at Five Crowns! It is such a special place and having the entire restaurant to ourselves was a huge plus. Margo and the staff made the entire wedding planning process go very smoothly. Margo was always available by email or a quick visit. We were very pleased with the Five Crowns vendor suggestions and Margo helped us work within our budget. On the day of the wedding ceremony and reception, the flowers and plants existing at the restaurant looked amazing. Few flowers of our own were needed which saved us a lot of money. The wedding was executed by Margo flawlessly. Every detail was taken care of from the set up all the vendors, to a place for the bride to get ready. Margo personally walked us through the buffet line to make sure we ate. She was able to run the reception timeline exactly as we had planned it out. We can’t say enough good things about the Five Crowns as a wedding/reception venue. We researched all of them in the area and were very pleased at what Five Crowns offered. It was a tremendous value. We highly recommend the Five Crowns for a Wedding Ceremony and Reception!

Margo is a great resource for helping to think of everything that needs to be prepared before the event. She helped make everything work so smoothly. Our daughter and her guests were so pleased with the day.

Margo Brask and Five Crowns made our wedding experiance exceptional. Everything was taken care of and we didn't have to think of anything. The staff was attentive and the food was delicious. The presentation of the food in the buffet was so beautiful the guests raved about it and took pictures. We coudn't have asked for a more pleasurable ceremony and reception. Margo helped us with the entire day, making sure that we had our food first and we wanted for nothing. She even gave us a moist napkin for our hands after we cut the cake and fed each other. I cannot say enough of our wonderful day at Five Crowns.

Having my wedding at the Five Crowns was a dream come true. The location was beautiful, the guests loved the atmosphere and the food was absolutely delicious. Our wedding was on a very tight budget and Margo worked with us to make everything affordable without sacrificing quality. The attention to detail and quality of service was also outstanding. Margo personally served my husband and I our dinner plates, champagne and cake! I definitely recommend the Five Crowns when looking for a wedding ceremony and reception location, especially for couples planning a garden-style wedding.

We had an absolute great experience! We received a great value. Margo was incredible. She helped us find our vendors and she worked well with our other vendors. She helped our wedding run smoothly. All of our guests complimented us on the restaurant's decor and ambiance. We received countless compliments on the food. I would highly recommend this venue to others and we plan on returning to this location. We even received VIP points on all of our food purchases for our wedding, so we ended up receiving 10% back on all of our food at our reception!

The Five Crowns Restaurant turned out to be the perfect venue for our wedding. After a great deal of research we chose Five Crowns and we are soooo glad that we did. First, Margo, the event coordinator there, is amazing. She was very nice, helpful, totally on the ball and was available any time we needed to talk to her or make a visit to the site. She always remembered our previous conversations, was very organized and was an extremely gracious hostess on the day of the wedding. Nothing fell through the cracks and I was never worried that it would. She was so reliable and I felt completely at ease that things would go smoothly, which they did. The venue itself is awesome! If you choose to have a daytime wedding (which we did) you get the whole restaurant and garden site to yourself which makes for a very private and intimate occasion. The garden where the ceremony takes place is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for a small to medium size wedding. We had 55 guests which I think is ideal for this venue but it could hold maybe 10 more and, conversely, wouldn't feel too large if you have fewer guests. The food could not be beat! We got so many compliments on the food as well as the venue choice in general. We had the buffet and not only was the food delicious, but the presentation was lovely as well!! The venue was beautiful and intimate, the food was outstanding and memorable, the service was impeccable and the day absolutely perfect. I know some people wouldn't be too quick to book a daytime wedding, but it actually worked out very well for us. There wasn't that anxious anticipation all day long since there ceremony was done by 11 am and we got to just spend the rest of the day having fun with each other and our guests. Also, it actually gave us an opportunity to have an after party at home with closest friends and family that wanted to continue to celebrate the day with us.

Hard to think of anything that could have been done better. I (along with all the guests) was totally impressed.

Margo, our wedding coordinator, was always responsive with phone calls and emails, in addition to setting on-site appointments. Her enthusiasm was there from start to finish and she helped make the entire process, seamless. Having Margo there to assist with the timing of events and with the vendors was a huge help, and we would recommend this venue to anyone.

The luxury of having the entire restaurant to ourselves was a huge plus, especially because it is both indoors and outdoors. This allows guests to overflow into all of the rooms, giving them a different scenery, which is a nice change than to be restricted to one large hall. The only downside was that we only had the restaurant until 4 p.m., since we opted for the morning ceremony/reception, and the time just seemed to fly by...but I suppose that would happen even if we had the restaurant until closing. Our day was absolutely, perfect.

Couldn't have had a better experience. Beautiful venue and excellent buffet. Couldn't get our guest to leave!

Five Crowns staff and service was terrific. Margo Brask was attentive and treated my entire party - including the entertainers - like valued customers. Food was excellent. Slight disappointment with sound system (music could not be heard well in ceremony area) and lack of staff to run music/sound system so all invited guests and vow renewal party could enjoy ceremony. Guests all reported having a wonderful time!

Great venue for a small wedding. Great service, value and location.

really nice place. I would go back there.
Thank you for making my wedding special.
My ceremony was awesome.

One of the truly unique locations in Orange County for your ceremony & reception. The beautiful, intimate garden is the perfect setting for an outdoor ceremony year-round. The layout of the facility is that of an old English manor...very warm and inviting. Excellent menu options & great food. Very accommodating, friendly staff. Margo Brask coordinates everything for you & is one of the best in the business.

I have been working with Five Crowns now for 6 years and I am always pleased to see such happy brides!. Margo works with the bride and groom from day one to the final day. She gives them her all. The gardens are gorgeous. The Chef is gifted. The buffets are beautiful. I have also had the opportunity to provide flowers for many different parties there. It is a great local intimate hideaway. LOVELY!

We had the opportunity to perform for a wedding at this beautiful venue. It's a wonderful location and lovely venue that can accommodate small intimate weddings or moderate groups. I would have to say this has been one of our favorite venues to perform at thus far. We would be honored and delighted to return to this venue here in the near future.

Five Crowns is an absolute jewel in the heart of coastal Corona Del Mar. Classic style, intimate (but roomy enough for a quartet, light dancing and comfortable wedding party), and right on the Coast Highway. We had a wonderful experience performing at a wedding here with friendly staff, delicious food, and Margo was a delight to work with. We look forward to returning to Five Crowns and highly recommend it for a very special and unique wedding day.

My name is Julie Earnhart-Roy and I have been playing harp for over 27 years for weddings. It is my pleasure to endorse the lovely Five Crowns Restaurant. This fine establishment has been in existence for over 40 years! The venue is charming, yet extremely elegant and professional in every way. The wedding garden in the back is completely private and boasts gorgeous new pillars and lovely new lawn and gardens. I highly recommend this venue for any couple desiring a private garden setting, close to the beach.

The Five Crowns is an excellent place to have a wedding, Margo and the staff do a great job. It's a romantic, 'English Garden' setting, just perfect for a ceremony and reception. The food is fantastic and absolutely delicious!! Margo works with us as a team so, rest assured your wedding will run smoothly at the 'Five Crowns'. American Mobile Music highly recommends them!!

For any Bride and Groom reading this endorsement: I am Rev. Michael and I Officiate at all locations in Orange County. And one of my top five favorite locations to Officiate is Five Crowns. Margo and her staff are, without a doubt, the best, the most flexible, the most organized and the nicest coordinators to work with. I receive so many rave reviews from my couples not only regarding the way they handle the Ceremony but the reception as well. I would be remiss in not telling you to at least call Margo at Five Crowns and investigate their venue.
