    We were celebrating my fathers 88th birthday. Our server Janice was outstanding. She was so kind and patient with our large party. She made extra effort to make my fathers birthday special. He is hard of hearing (as is my mother) but Janice was sure to speak with them so they could hear her. Janice is a true asset to your company. I worked for Four Seaons Hotels for almost 25 years - she is a excellent example of 5 star service.

    Krasi delivers a bustling, upscale Mediterranean dining experience with standout Greek dishes and attentive service in a slightly cramped setting. Although my table by the door felt drafty and some offerings, like the octopus, seemed pricey for their portions, the tableside tzatziki preparation and especially the flavorful, filling lamb made it worthwhile. The knowledgeable staff’s thoughtful wine recommendations and the overall quality of ingredients make Krasi an ideal choice for special occasions or a memorable date night.
