We love Jennifer S as our server. Friendly, fun and attentive. We enjoyed 1/2 price bottle of wine night. Our entrees were perfectly prepared. It was a fun evening of MN sports so it was fun to hang out and catch up with several teams. We enjoy the ambiance of the bar area and the fun groups of people. Thanks for making this one of our regular hangouts. And, we love the new summer decor!

Loved every second of it. I’ve been to almost every single restaurant around MOA. Crave has been my favourite and top rated so far. The atmosphere is great. The service was perfect. The cocktails were so good. Food was top notch. I liked the upscale fancier vibe it has. 110% would recommend
