We ate here with another couple. The Candied Brussel Sprouts appetizer was very yummy. I wasn't crazy about paying $5 for bread, but the Bleu cheese butter that came with it eased the pain. My husband and I split the Truffle Burger and Wedge Caesar salad. Our waiter, Jonathan, was attentive and patient. The food was served hot. The burger was outstanding. The wedge salad was okay. Great wine list, a little pricey, but overall, we had a lovely dining experience. Oh yeah, the fries that came with the burger were State Fair good.
My husband and I had a wonderful time at Cravings celebrating our anniversary. We both had flatbreads, Margherita and Mushroom Brie, both delicious. For dessert, we had the tropical tres leches cake, one of the best desserts I have ever had.
The beef short rib was amazing and did not need seasoning. The drink menu is good but some of the cocktails are watered down. Definitely will be coming back.
We happened to come here on a walk in because our first choice for dinner was packed. However, it ended up being a pleasant surprise. It’s nice to find a local restaurant that has a little more swankiness than some of the mega chains that usually fill the suburbs. Service was good and relatively quick. They have a huge drinks menu, which was nice to see. I recommend the pomegranate martini. Unfortunately, I ended up not enjoying my entrée (the current special, beef stroganoff). Mainly because it utilized “warm spices” such as nutmeg and cinnamon etc. I don’t enjoy these flavors in savory dishes. However, there are a number of things on the menu that looked good. So we plan to go back and try something else in the future.
Food was decent. Kind of felt like home cooking though. I go out to experience something I can't do at home. I felt for $100 I could go next door and get something for $40 that was something I couldn't do and be treated better. Not bad, but needs to elevate their offerings if they want to charge these prices. Also kind of janky with a space heater and not knowing where to sit us. Felt like a typical cafe that charges robust prices. Uninspired.
Most amazing waitress EVER! Corrine took really great care of us and has an amazing sense of humor. The food was excellent and the martinis among the best we have ever had. Highly recommend!!
No alcohol or little to no alcohol in both mine and my friends drink. Overpriced and smaller portions. Waitress wasn't very friendly. She passed by us a few times and never asked us how everything was during our entire time there. Manager was nice and asked us how we were doing but felt bad giving an honest answer.
Carbonara was flavorless per 2 in our group, small plating, served barely warm. Burger was great per 1! Flatbread average per 1. Desserts awesome per 4! All food was was barely warm per 4. Appetizers o.k. Nice quiet setting for converstion. Stick with Burger!
The special "small plate special" was delicious. It was a sort of roll that had all types of filling--mostly Caribbean in nature--with a bit of spice. The walleye cakes are wonderful as are the truffle-parmesan fries. The Americana Burger also got a rave review from our diner who'd ordered it. And, service by Robert was everything one could ask for--cordial, prompt, and professional. And, Robert is the one who recommended the special small plate (the roll described above) and that was a great recommendation. We'll be back!
I had reservations for my wife and I to enjoy our 20th anniversary. We arrived and they were a little busy and tried to seat us in this dark dungeon area were we couldn’t get into the little table without bumping the other couples. So the moved us to another spot that was right on top of another table. We stayed at that spot but showed our Groupon to the waiter for a discounted flight of wine for two. He said they couldn’t honor it to tonight because they were too busy (didn’t say that on the terms and conditions). We ordered our drinks and ordered a cheese platter which was sub par for $20. The waitress just dumped the platter on the table and ran without telling us what each cheese was. Looking down at our table we only had one place setting and it took a long time to get another. After finishing our cheese, we waited for a long time to get our food. I ordered the fillet which tasted bland. My wife had ravioli with shrimp which she said was ok at best. We then ordered tiramisu and waited almost as long as it took for dinner. The tiramisu was on display in the front entry and I’m not sure why it took so long. Once that arrived it was like a runny pudding and had terrible presentation. It was decent tasting but that was it. The highlight was getting out of there as the atmosphere was horrible being seated on top of another.
