We had a delicious lunch. We shared three pizzas and an entree called Juk served in a bowl. The jasmine rice in the bottom of the bowl was like a warm porridge. It was so filling on a cold day. The short rib meat on the Juk was very tender. The shared entree was polished off. We opted for a spirit-free drink called El Santo because we were heading to a cookie decorating event afterward. The drink was delicious. The server recommended the drink, and she was spot on. We look forward to returning again.

Went here for my 5 year anniversary. Lovely food and great customer service. Did the “let the chef handle it” option and got 6 fantastic courses with a dessert on top of it. The drinks were phenomenal with the right amount of alcohol taste coming through. Completely surpassed my expectations and will be coming back! If you are willing to be spendy it’s definitely worth it.

Wonderful experience, Armando was attentive and friendly. Loved the mushroom pasta dish I had, delicious. Such a great option to have a wonderful meal before a show downtown. We will chose Crave again in the future!
