The meal was mediocre, I couldn't even eat my steak as it was far too fatty. We had received a $100 gift card as an anniversary present the year prior, when we went to pay with it they refused to honour it saying that they had changed ownership. When you purchase a business, you take ownership of all aspects of it, not just the ones that are beneficial to you. Ruined our anniversary dinner, very unhappy!
I'll start off by saying that we had a large party size (9) and primarily went to Crave for a birthday and Londonlicous.
We arrived and were seated quickly as our table was already ready for us. We were seated near the front door so most of us were cold all night. it seemed that the A/C was on as well right above our heads -soooo cold!
The waiter (Shane?) was pretty effective and efficient throughout the evening. He kept it pretty business all night, but he seemed busy with other tables.
Reservations were at 7:30pm and after 2 rounds of drinks, our apps came out. we waited until around 9pm before our mains came. For an upscale place, the timing between meals was way too long. Again, it was freezing cold, so waiting around not eating didnt help!
The food wasn't anything super special, just ok.
First visit to Crave so we didn't know what to expect. The atmosphere is really nice -- warm and inviting. The hostess was super friendly and so was out waiter. There was another waiter who filled our water glasses on a constant bases which was a nice touch. Dinner was just okay. The red pepper soup was a little blah, ceasar salad was just okay. The 2 steaks ordered were fatty but cooked to perfection if that counts. Risotto was bam on the spot good and lobster tails were good but $35 good? nope. Lobster tails were served over rice which was yummy but far too few veggies. The mashed potatoes that came with the steaks was the best part of that meal. Cheesecake at the end disappointed as too dry. It seemed like they were just trying too hard. If you can't cook upscale dial it down a few notches.
Sorry folks, i hate to be critical, but for the prices...this is NOT fine dining. We should have read the reviews and took the hint when we walked in.. the place was almost empty!
My girlfiend and I have been to Crave a few times in the past and decided to go again over the weekend. Everything was great. We both had steaks that I think would rival anyone in the city. Was also nice that they bought my dinner because it was my birthday...I guess they do that if its your birthday.
