We went early evening on a Tuesday night so it was not too crowded and the noise level was low. The service was fine and the food was really good. Decent atmosphere, comfortable seating as well. One of the better restaurants in town.

Incredible food and wine selection. Service is fast and the waitstaff is very knowledgeable. The music was a bit too loud, but that may be only for dinner service.

I love going to crush 11!! Everything there is so delicious and all the cocktails are amazing!! I was surprised it was busy on a Tuesday night. Our server was Nicole and she was so sweet!! The only thing I took a star off for was it took a while to get our food and drinks. Granted it was busy, so I’m sure that’s why, but it did take longer than expected. Other than that, this place is spectacular! I do miss when they changed up their menu seasonally. They don’t do that anymore and it makes me sad. I do think this place needs to have seasonal cocktails or seasonal specials or something to spice it up a bit.

The food and atmosphere were absolutely wonderful. The only negative thing was our waitress was not the greatest. It just seemed like we were a bother to her. Zero personality. All the other wait staff seemed very nice and personable to their customers. So hope it was just a bad night for her. Everything else was great!
