Cranes isn’t just dinner, it’s a whole vibe. Chef Pepe Moncayo takes Spanish + Japanese flavors and makes them flirt in the most genius way. Think tapas energy but with umami explosions — sushi meets paella, sake meets sangria. Every bite feels both familiar and totally new.

The space itself? Sleek, modern, and low-key sexy — perfect for date nights or celebrating big wins. Service is smooth, the team knows their menu inside-out, and you feel taken care...

Excellent happy hour menu, delicious tapitas, and well crafted cocktails. The sake tasting menu they put together for me was excellent. Happy hour prices we're very reasonable for the area.

Sam took excellent care of us, and I would personally ask for him. I did not get the bartender's/server's name, but he was also excellent.

The ambience was perfect for my wife and I

Highly recommended.

We had a great time at Cranes for their Saturday brunch. They offer a very interesting array of small plates that interweave Spanish and Japanese influences. Some were better than other, but all were inventive and interesting. I will say, most dishes, although small in portion, are quite heavy in substance. We wished there were some lighter options on the menu to offer a bit more balance. Service was great. Thank you to Sam at the front of the house in particular for his warmth...
