Crown Shy

A chef friend recommend this spot and it did not disappoint! I took my sibling here for their birthday as we are big foodies and we were delighted by the flavors. The service was great, but 4 stars because the waiter was a tad pushy with us on getting more dishes. We had ordered a starter, two dishes between us and desert and it was more than filling! The plating was a delight to see and the desert was the best one I have eaten in a long time.

Visiting Crown Shy is a novel dining experience, and there is a lot that I'd recommend. There are probably a few things that they can do better on but it was a great experience! The food was excellent (with a couple of dishes that were a bit of a miss). Greatly enjoyed the Pull-Apart Olive Bread and the Gruyere Fritters, which were both my favorites. The group also liked the Short Ribs a lot. The Grilled Citrus Marinated Chicken and the octopus were also very good! The service was good but exceptionally slow (We were sitting for over an hour before they took our food order). Watching the chefs cook in an open kitchen was a very interesting experience even though it gets a bit loud. The cocktails were great as well (highly recommend The Aftermath), amd the selection of wines was quite good too. Loved all the desserts that we tried, but the Sticky Toffee Pudding was our favorite! The Satsuma ice cream was also quite good. Highly recommend visiting Crown Shy for a unique fine dining exper

I dined at Crown Shy for dinner, trying appetizers, main courses, and dessert. All dishes are meant to be shared so my party of 3 split everything with the exception of the drinks and dessert. Appetizers: To start, my table ordered the White Bean Hummus, 'Nduja, Pine Nuts ($17). The hummus was delicious but the vegetables it was served with fell slightly short in the flavor department. We also ordered the Romaine, Green Goddess, Breadcrumbs ($22) and I thought the few pieces of lettuce with breadcrumbs sprinkles inside was overpriced. Mains: One of the mains we ordered was the Short Ribs, Summer Beans, Potatoes ($105). The short ribs were tender and delicious - made to perfection. The potatoes were delicious as well and nicely seasoned. The other main we ordered was a pot of seafood and sausage (I do not recall the name). The seafood was very good - I did not eat the sausage. Dessert: I ordered the Honey Icebox Cake, Strawberry Sorbet, Almonds ($18). The cake was a little bit sweet and
