First time dining at the Crimson Restaurant, and overall it was an okay experience with some highlights and some disappointments. We ordered a variety of dishes to get a good sense of the menu. The New York steak was ordered medium rare, but unfortunately came out on the drier side, which took away from the experience. The ribeye steak was decent in flavor, but felt overpriced for what was served, especially considering the minimal sides included with the dish. For the price point, we were expecting a bit more in terms of portion or accompaniments. The bison steak salad was okay overall, but felt like it could have benefited from more seasoning or finishing touches to really bring out its flavor. The carnitas were also a bit dry. The menu mentioned they were either cooked in sauce or served with a pineapple habanero salsa, but ours lacked moisture and definitely felt like it could use that sauce or salsa to complement the dish. On a more positive note, the social fries were very good, and the Crimson's cheese spread was flavorful and enjoyable. Our waiter was excellent—very attentive, friendly, and responsive to our needs. We chose not to send anything back or ask for adjustments because we wanted to experience the food as it was prepared, without modifications. The drinks were just average, nothing particularly memorable. Overall, the pricing—especially for the steaks—felt a bit high relative to the quality and presentation. In summary, the experience was decent but didn’t quite live up to expectations for the price. With some improvements to execution and value, it could be much better. For now, it was okay, but not a standout.

Subjectively speaking, rude and poor service is a major disappointment for what would otherwise seem as a decent place.
Waitress was extremely rude and annoyed that we walked (group of 10) about 15 mins before closing.
Will have follow up, but her behavior was inappropriate.

Best clam chowder I’ve ever had! Enough said!
I also ordered the beef short ribs with mashed potatoes and veggies on the side. Amaaazing. Meet was tender, everything was well seasoned. Hostess was kind and quick to take my order. 10/10

The staff at Wildbirch and the Crimson restaurant far exceeded our expectations! To make a previous stay right, they not only vastly improved our next stay. They made sure to go above and beyond our expectations. Upon our stay we were greeted by the front desk host who was very pleasant and responsive. Complimented our anniversary and made sure we had homemade cookies in our room, compliment of the chef at crimson. Although we weren't able to stay and have breakfast in the morning, they again made sure we left with a gift card to return. Everything about our stay was excellent. I highly recommend Crimson and Wildbirch! Great job guys!

What a pleasant surprise. Excellent service, ambiance and great food. We had heavy appetizers and beverages prior to attending the Nutcracker. We also received a 15% discount because of our ballet tickets. My young nieces enjoyed it thoroughly. Nicole, our waitress treated them with such class. They really liked it. Highly recommend Crimson. Oh and the view!!! Will be back.
I’ve been to Crimson a few times now, mainly because it’s conveniently located for downtown work lunches. The space is a standout. Beautifully designed, comfortable, and spacious enough for anything from solo dining to large groups, with a full bar and plenty of seating options.
The menus is Pan-American, Latin-inspired concept that doesn’t always fully land. The flavors and execution show effort and intent, but some dishes feel just a bit shy of clicking.
Service, however, has been inconsistent on multiple visits. Long gaps between check-ins, limited menu knowledge, and overall attentiveness have been ongoing issues. I’ve given it time knowing they’re still new, but improvement has been slow.
That said, I genuinely want Crimson to succeed and understand how tough staffing can be in this industry. Don’t let this stop you from giving it a try, especially given the location, outdoor dining (in the summer) and potential still on the table.

I ordered a Cubano sandwich and my friend ordered a chicken salad sandwich. Both sandwiches were good, fresh and promptly served.
The server was well versed with the menu, and she was thinking about our dining experience the entire time without hovering. It is a skill that I appreciate.

Crimson is undeniably a beautiful hotel and restaurant, but unfortunately, the service and food fell short of expectations. We spent over $200 for a meal that simply wasn’t worth it — $78 for a bone-in steak that was under-seasoned and came with no sides. My salad barely an appetizer side with over cooked meat and wilted lettuce. Water refills were rare, and the cocktails, at around $20 each, were nothing special.
The restaurant was barely a quarter full, yet service was slow and inattentive. To top it off, it closed at 9 p.m., which made the whole experience feel rushed. For the price point, we expected much more. Absolutely not worth it.

I went to a book club meeting here and the whole team was so kind, accommodating, and fun! The atmosphere is stellar and the food was incredible. I had a signature cocktail (strong and delicious), carnitas (huge, flavorful, perfect mild spice), and cheesecake creme brûlée (I was floored… perfect richness and texture). I will be taking my husband here for a date!!!
