CRAVE American Kitchen & Sushi Bar (LaSalle Plaza - Minneapolis)

We love Crave one of our very favorite restaurants. Tonight we came in as a group of 12 before we went to Purple Rain. Service was very sub par compared to the service that we usually get at Crave. We all ordered either salads, soup or apps and our meals along with all of them were brought out at the same time. Not once did anyone check back with any of us to assure that we were happy with the food. Adding 20% gratuity when the service was less than acceptable in my mind is just not right. We go to the Eden Prairie location frequently it is like night and day when it comes to service. Right from the servers greeting you throughout the whole ding experience.

A solid place to each. It is pretty convenient to several theatres. You can walk just a few meters to the State Theatre.
This has a good variety of food. We mostly did the Sushi rolls: Pink panther, rainbow, spicy tuna, and Godzilla. They were all good. They are known for good sushi, but they have plenty of other food varieties. Burgers, steaks, fish, pastas, and a kids area.
The tiramisu was not great, more a derivative style basically chocolate cake with a coffee sauce to pour over, but the coconut cake was a better option. Nice coconut undertone in the sponge and a clear flavor thru the frosting and lots of have coconut in it.
Drinks menu is excellent. The cucumber martini is good if you like that kinda thing but the blackberry mule was a highlight. Good balance of gingery spice with the sweet blackberry syrup balancing it out. The old fashion was also a notable.
Service was good.
You will get a good meal here

Serviceable American-style sushi, but the service and the atmosphere was incredible. I just ate off the sushi menu this time, so I can't speak to the rest of the large menu. I came on a night when a musical was playing next door, so watch out for that if coming for dinner. A small sake menu, but lots of other alcoholic options. I sat at the bar and had a great time, and the food was brought out quickly and I never had to struggle to wave over a bartender. My biggest knock against the sushi is the price. I think you get a lot of food for the cost, but I do think it's a little pricey for how everything ended up tasting.

Salads before a show at The Orpheum were great. Service, including a trainee was helpful, friendly and just the right amount of checking in with us.

Great ambiance and great service. Appreciate the extensive menu. Food was inconsistent- walleye amazing, ricotta stuffed pasta with ragout likewise. Wagyu burger was overcooked. Steak frites filet in one small serving ranged from rare to well done!

Brandon was excellent waiter. Drinks were en pointe. Vibrant atmosphere due to two theatre shows.

We have never been disappointed with the selection and quality of menu items. Tonight, our server, whose name I didn't quite hear, was extremely attentive and thoughtful in making my husband's birthday relaxed and enjoyable while making sure we did not miss the opening curtain of our theatre plans across the street.

Everything from the atmosphere to the food was very good. The shrimp scampi left something to be desired but the rest of the food (the apps, sushi and the desserts) were all so so good. Great cocktail list too. Make sure you call ahead to verify if the roof top patio is open. Even if you were able to make a reservation, they will sometimes book private events and just move you inside without much of a heads up.

Leonardo was awesome, food amazing complements to the chef, service was excellent thank you for the experience. 

We had a lovely pre-theater dinner at Crave last night! Our cocktails and wine were excellent. My companion had the Chop Salad and enjoyed it tremendously. I had the Lettuce Wrap and it was scrumptious! Our waiter, Jonathan, was excellent. We will definitely come back soon!
