The Crown Room - Albuquerque

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 theirservice. Their respect to the ambiance of the establishment is evident. The food, on the other hand, is horrid. The steakoverdone 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 aboutvisiting.

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 improperlyprepared and very inconsistent cook, med, med well med rare on the same chewy bland steak. Au poivre is not shallots, cream anddijon, but the line cook seems to think so.Asparagus was butter and lots of pepper, truffle mashed potatoes were missing thetruffle, tasted instant and were very dense. Very disappointing falsely advertised as elegant fine dining.

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 diningexperience!

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 menuand 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 lookedinside and someone had put some white powder Could have been salt suger or God know what else this has been the second time Ihad a bad experience here I don't recommend. We shouldn't be spending so much on a dinner service for imature people to messwith the food we are paying to eat .

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 toperfection. Other times I've received over fried calamari burnt to a crisp. My last visit was similar with excellent foodthough served with chipped plates, extremely water spotted wine glasses and an odd refusal to offer new forks between courseswith an overwhelmed wait staff. Though I suppose as long as people are willing to gamble then The Crown Room will be subsidizedby their losses and stick around in all its contradictory glory.
