Crave is a beautiful restaurant that offers a variety of buffet options, including breakfast and Rocky Mountain Buffet nights. The ambiance has a modern touch, with a great atmosphere that makes it a lovely spot to dine. The food quality is highly praised, with many reviews highlighting the freshness, taste, and healthiness of the offerings. The breakfast buffet is especially popular, with some describing it as the best breakfast they have ever had. Dishes like butter milk pancakes and red velvet pancakes receive particular praise, and the buffet is appreciated for its variety and ability to cater to children, with options suitable for a 10-month-old baby.
Service experiences vary; some reviews mention attentive and kind staff members, such as Amber and Nik, who made the dining experience enjoyable. However, there are also comments about service lacking attention to detail, such as hostess on her phone and a somewhat transactional feeling from servers. The restaurant is currently under renovation, and washrooms are located on a different floor, which can be inconvenient. The buffet itself is good, though some feel the pastries could be more authentic if house-made or sourced locally, and specialty coffee options like cappuccinos are not available. Overall, Crave has a lot of potential with its great atmosphere and quality food, and with improvements in service and beverage offerings, it could become an exceptional dining spot.
