Super fun!!!Great tapas!! Excellent service. THe shrimp tempura and the mushroom soy glaze is yummy. The basque cheesecake a perfect ending. Run don't walk.

Service was good, but food was not that great. 1) omakase is usually beautifully displayed. Each omakase dish that was served was not appealing to the eyes. The last savory dish, which was 3 slices of toasted meat and a big chunk of rice covered by a white sheet of mayonnaise like sauce… when I saw that, I lost appetite. 2) the favor of each dish was not well balanced. The amuse-bouche had such a strong spring onion flavor, which lingered in our mouth for a long time until next dish was served. The wait was ridiculously long between dishes. It took us 2 hrs to finish all. 3) freshness of ingredients: one dish where the moment I bit the meat, I immediately could taste the meat was not properly processed or not fresh… I had to spit out the bite. 4) processing of ingredients: due to the above mentioned meat incident, the restaurant kindly offered me a replacement dish, which was the same chuck of rice (the side) and 2 pieces of scallop (instead of the meat). The scallops were so salty I had one bite and gave up. This is my first time having omakase where I was left hungry… 5) desserts: the desserts were either overly sour or overly sweet… 6) Japanese, really? This place claims to be a Kaiseki. If you’ve had a Kaiseki from an authentic Japanese establishment, you’d laugh at this. I’m not seeing a healthy influence of Japanese flavors/ingredients in the dishes, nor am I being impressed by the display and flavors of the food as I would at a Kaiseki restaurant.
Overall I’m very disappointed and would not come back and do not recommend this place to other eaters.

Went here for brunch on my birthday and the food and hospitality were amazing. The staff made us feel very welcome and they were accommodating to my allergies. I would recommend coming here. The brunch is such a good deal!

Really great bang for the buck. The food and service were great. And the cost was surprisingly reasonable. The Trout and Eel paella was delicious.

Loved the food - omakase was delicious in several dishes (apparently not everyone likes all of them). We loved the vibe and waitress was offering free sips of drinks so we could decide what to order. I’ll be back.

Love this restaurant for a special occasion dinner. The experience is much different for lunch... the restaurant was understaffed and service was slow (though servers themselves were delightful), food was very good but not outstanding, very pricey for lunch with only two options on the menu. At the end of the meal, we waited 20 minutes to get the bill, and I eventually had to take my credit card to the host and ask to pay. Staff was wonderfully nice but just not enough of them.

My wife and I went here for the bottomless brunch and got to try almost everything on their menu. The food, service and atmosphere were all 5 star. I would recommend this place to a friend.

We enjoyed a $45 brunch course along with the “limbo” ride, which made for a fun first-time experience. The staff gave a detailed explanation of each dish, adding to the overall enjoyment. The food was fantastic, and the presentation was perfect for snapping a few Instagram-worthy shots!
What can I say, this place is very hoity toity. And being a hoity toity kinda place, I expected excellence and what I got was mediocrity. I will say the cocktails are amazing and super delish. The food on the other hand…Maybe it was because it was happy hour but still, for having Michelin stars I’d expect the ribs not to be almost inedibly salty and the rice to be meh and one note. Maybe we ordered the wrong things, maybe it was a bad day back in the kitchen, maybe I expected too much, either way the food was fine. Cranes is a place of great irony, it both tries too hard yet not hard enough. Overall, it’s fine.

Walked here for my wife’s birthday. It started off great with a nice introduction from the Sake Sommelier and the appetizers were actually great. But where it fell off was with our server Sam. After ordering appetizers, he never showed back up. 45 minutes later. Still never stopped by. We had our toddler with us who was doing great, but they never showed back up for the entree order. I ended up having to grab the hostess for my check. Honestly the worst service I have ever had. It was honestly pathetic. I’m sure with another server it would have been great and I was really looking forward to dinner there but he made it a poor experience.

I feel like leaving a 1 star review is rude, but I got food poisoning after eating here. I'd eaten nothing else that day so it's pretty clear. The server was polite and explained the dishes and the chef accommodated our preferences, hence the 3 stars. But the first course was fishy hamachi I kind of think that's what did it

Went for an all you can eat brunch for 48$. Very tasty food with small portions, which made it very easy to share with 4 ppl. There are plenty of items on the AYCE menu. Thw ramen was the only item that was a bit hard to share. The yuzu ginger mocktail was the perfect balance between sweet and tart. Great service and nice ambiance. Would definitely return for the brunch.
