CRAVE American Kitchen & Sushi Bar (The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes - Maple Grove)

Delicious meal, the walleye dinner was very generous, lightly breaded, fire roasted carrots amazing along with mashed potatoes and sauce. California roll was also amazing. Service was fantastic! Glad we have this option in Fargo!

I ordered dinner to go, as well as a few drinks at the bar while waiting for my food. The bill (for one person) was over $100. The milk bread, while it tasted great, was slightly larger than a dinner role and was $12. Considering most restaurants offer bread baskets at no cost, this was excessive. My meal was very tasty, but again, not worth $27 for a Poke bowl.

For atmosphere, I sat at the bar and did not have difficulty getting a seat on a Friday at 5 pm. However, the establishment as a whole was very loud, as the industrial vibe did not damper any sound. I honestly felt like I was sitting in a cafeteria. Also, the bar top has lights running through the wood. When I walked in, it initially looked like sunbeams reflecting off the wood. I quickly realized the top was lit. As someone who reads my phone at the bar, this backlight was extremely distracting.

I tried several drinks while waiting for my food. A rail drink (vodka soda) was $10, though admittedly their rail was Tito's and what I would normally specify at other restaurants. Specialty drinks were $15-$17 each and were weak. I wouldn't recommend this place for drinks if you were expecting a strong martini or old fashioned. However, they do have quite a few creative N/A options, which is refreshing.

The staff were very attentive - I was greeted immediately and offered water and both a food and drink menu. They checked on me throughout my visit and I never had an issue with getting service, ordering food, or closing my check.

Overall, Crave feels like a place where you take clients (on a company expense account) but not worth the everyday cost.

The prices are absolutely absurd. $14 for literally two bite-sized pieces of sushi is unreasonable. $27 for a small poke bowl is ridiculous when other poke bowl restaurants are serving better quality bowls for $14

The seafood isn't even fresh. It's previously frozen. Frozen, farmed salmon is not worth the sky-high prices

Servers were friendly at least

Stopped by for HH with a friend. We ordered the firecracker shrimp, the crunchy roll and the sticky ribs. The ribs were my favorite. The meat was tender and fell right off the bones. It was sweet with some peppers if you wanted a little spice. The crunchy roll was pretty good. The firecracker shrimp was ok.

It is sad to see this place deteriorate: The food is not good and even when they can clearly see that you didn’t eat any of it, they look the other way and move on to the next customer. I will never eat here again.

Was told by mistake that this location did not uphold rewards anymore. My friend later on called the location and was told they still do accept rewards. When I called back to clarify, I was hung up on abruptly and my calls remained unanswered from then on. Extremely disrespectful and I will not be coming back to this location.

The most mediocre rainbow roll I've ever had in my life. Grocery store sushi is tastier.

Christmas Eve Dinner: Ceasar salad was a joke. $12.00 bucks for a plate of romaine lettuce, 3-4 store bought flavorless croutons served with a side of what tasted like store bought dressing.
Also, our server never stopped by after dinner was served to inquire how things were, if we needed anything, etc.
We spent $200.00 for the three of us. Kind of disappointed.

I have eaten here at least seven times since my Celiac diagnosis and not had any problems (the first time, a manager even came in person to reassure me before I got my food), but this week when we got takeout I tried the Mediterranean chicken off the gluten-sensitive menu with specific notes, which were acknowledged when they brought out the bags, so it never occurred to me to search through the jasmine rice for the undisclosed pasta that was inexplicably included before I tasted it, and thus I got sick. So disappointed and don’t think I can trust them again.

The food is a but bit hit or miss. The poke bowls tasted a bit off. The Mexican was better than the traditional poke bowl.

Loved the buffalo shrimp and we did have good service.

HONESTLY.... NOT WORTH IT. We have given Crave so much business over the years. Every time we order something is incorrect. We continue to try again and again. (Yes, our fault) After today, no more .We order a lot of food for our office and will no longer be doing so. We received an incorrect item (again), I called and the women who answered stated yes, it was her mistake and apologized. We placed the order through their website, but it was delivered through door dash. Since it was delivered this way, there is no way to receive a new correct order, or a refund. Our options were, we can place a new order through door dash or come in and pick up the correct order. The woman said either way she would put a $25 gift card in the bag for all the trouble. Great. Fine, another time ordering, another issue. We opted to send someone to pick up the correct order. We were having a staff birthday lunch so we needed to have the correct order. Someone went to pick up the order, came back, and of course... no gift card. I hope they know they have lost a lot of business. We will support other local restaurants. We understand things happen. But it has been every single time an order has been placed. Do yourself a favor and try somewhere else.

I wish the server didn't stand there to make sure you pay the high tier pre-selected tips. Oh well. Food and service was good though.
