We were looking for someplace nice to have dinner on New Year's Day, and decided on the Five Crowns in Corona Del Mar. The food is consistently good here, as is the service and ambiance.

We started off with appetizers. Sweetie Pie decided on the Ravioli, her favorite appetizer, and it did not disappoint. Her mother ordered the Crab Cakes, her favorite. Five Crowns has the best Crab Cakes in town. I had the Shrimp Cocktail- big, fresh and delicious.

For her entree, Sweetie chose the Five Crowns Cut Prime Rib, their signature dish. It was lean, tender and cooked perfectly. Her mother had the Potato Crusted Salmon, perfectly prepared and delicious, as usual. I decided on the Traditional Holiday Roasted Goose. Although it was good, to be perfectly honest it was not as good as their Maple Leaf Farms Roasted Duckling ( one of my favorite dishes). The Goose was a little tough, and hard to get off the bone.

Tonight's Five Crowns dinner gets three thumbs up from the 3 Tubby Tummys.
