                                                          We had a lovely waitress. She was informative, I forget her name, a lady 50-60ish. Food was well prepared and tasty.

                                                          The surf and turf with Japanese scallops and wagyu was divine. Probably the best scallops I've ever had. The hearts desire oysters with homemade balsamic pearls were a burst of flavor. The el diablo cocktail delicious. The server we had was wonderful and accommodating. All in all it was our 2nd time there and will continue coming back!

                                                          The Krebs is a beautiful restaurant, great staff that's very attentive. Varied and interesting menu. But the kitchen service was terribly slow on a not so busy day. Also the food was good, but not outstanding.
