The Crown Room

This restaurant is a gem! From start Savanna Salad to entree Lobster Ravioli and Scallops to dessert Bananas Foster prepared in front of you, you will not be disappointed. The waitstaff is attentive and courteous. It is a wonderful dining experience!

The Crown Room is something of an anomaly. It wants to recreate the old school glamour of fine dining in a casino however when the casino in question is mostly penny slots in a horse racetrack located at the edge of a part of town commonly referred to as "The War Zone" then you're more likely to share a restroom with someone with face tattoos rather than someone from the Rat Pack. The actual restaurant itself is also a mix of contradictions. On most visits the food has been top-notch and served to perfection. Other times I've received over fried calamari burnt to a crisp. My last visit was similar with excellent food though served with chipped plates, extremely water spotted wine glasses and an odd refusal to offer new forks between courses with an overwhelmed wait staff. Though I suppose as long as people are willing to gamble then The Crown Room will be subsidized by their losses and stick around in all its contradictory glory.

Wait until they hire a chef before you dine here. Beautiful space and atmosphere, wonderful service. French onion soup had way to much salt, the consistency was off, baguette was sliced whole and placed on top, hard as a rock. Steaks were improperly prepared and very inconsistent cook, med, med well med rare on the same chewy bland steak. Au poivre is not shallots, cream and dijon, but the line cook seems to think so.Asparagus was butter and lots of pepper, truffle mashed potatoes were missing the truffle, tasted instant and were very dense. Very disappointing falsely advertised as elegant fine dining.

When you pay $150 for a dinner for 2 you would expect the best service and amazing food. Only one of those was delivered. The service is excellent. The servers know the restaurant is high class and act like it, taking pride and consideration in their service. Their respect to the ambiance of the establishment is evident. The food, on the other hand, is horrid. The steak overdone and inconsistency cooked. The soup is salty to the point of being ineditable. The potatos are obviously from a box. Lastly the greens are overcooked, bland, and underseasoned. In conclusion, wait till a new chef is hired to even think about visiting.

The place is beautiful as for the service it was horrible I was taken for a dinner date with my boyfriend we waited 40min to be sat after we asked the bartender to seat us and another couple we waited almost 30 min for menus we got our food a pre set menu and the couple next to us waited the same time as we had once the food came out I noticed something off with my beer I looked inside and someone had put some white powder Could have been salt suger or God know what else this has been the second time I had a bad experience here I don't recommend. We shouldn't be spending so much on a dinner service for imature people to mess with the food we are paying to eat .

Went to the Crown Room on Valentine's Day Great Meal Chef is amazing. But I wanted a bigger table and was told we could not have a different table. There was only 3 couples in the place. I think the lady who was sitting people was full of herself. When your paying that munch money for drinks and a meal you should be able to have a nice big table.

Silly Me... As a vegetarian for about a year I am starting to learn both the good and bad about eating out with food restrictions. On the plus side most restaurants have at least 1 main dish on the menu that I can eat so I don't sweat it. Then I came the Crown Room and realized everything was made with meat or fish, literally unless I had a side salad and a dessert I would have gone hungry. Fortunately, the staff and the chef were very accommodating and whipped up an orzo pasta with seasonal veggies, an amazing beet reduction, and carrot puree! Next time I go here or any steakhouse for that matter I will plan on calling ahead. Thanks for accommodating me and making probably one of the best vegetarian meals I have ever had!

My wife and I celebrated our 55th wedding anniversary with our son and daughter in law there last night. What an amazing night. The food was fantastic. We had appetizers of chipotle duck relleno and scampi ravioli, that was to die for. Our meals were cooked to perfection. The wait staff was so attentive. Our hats are off to the chef and his staff!! That was our first time there we we will definitely be back!!!!

Best of the best in Albuquerque. Service by Monte was great, cocktails served in such a professional manner by the Bartender failed to get his name Chef Danny came to personally follow up on our meals. Food was so good we didn't ask for a "to go", couldn't get enough. As Arnold would say "I'll be back".

FABULOUS!!! I relocated here from Los Angeles & am always interested in finding local, exceptional dining. We went to the Crown Room for the first time Sat evening, what a treat! The House Cab was delicious, the Lobster was perfect, the Berry Flambe dessert was incredible, & the service was outstanding...we Loved the Crown Room, & will be back! Romantic, classy...what a Lovely experience!
