Way too expensive for what you get, especially comparing to all the incredible restaurants in the metro at a similar price point.

I had the mahi mahi, beet salad and sweet corn pancake with cheese appetizer and they were all absolutely delicious. The service was great and the ambiance was lovely. Will definitely go back.
Shane
Excellent in every way. We live the service, atmosphere, cocktails and the food is amazing!
Barbara
Our server was terrific. She was knowledgeable about gluten free restrictions. She brought confetti and prosecco to the table since we were celebrating a birthday. The food was terrific.

The food was incredible, the service was amazing, and the environment was welcoming. My Wife and I went on our anniversary dinner during restaurant week, and had the most amazing meal. Everything was made perfectly, the sear on both the steak and cod was outstanding. We will be back! Thank you so much for having us

This is a great food experience! The staff couldn't be nicer and the food could not be better!

Wonderful food and located right on the outside of downtown St Paul. The Venezuelan inspired food was so good. I went here with my sister for restaurant week, we loved our appetizers and entrees! I had cod with crispy leeks and she had the steak with a chocolate spiced sauce. Would easily recommend this to anyone who is looking for something a little outside the standard dining. In house made empanadas and the butternut squash soup were perfectly seasoned and well portioned for restaurant week.

We had a most lovely brunch at Crasqui - an innovative menu, delicious food, good conversation with the owner and a serene and beautiful dining environment. We shared the Rompe Colchon to start, the shrimp-pineapple-habanero appetizer, a delicious ceviche on crackers. We ordered the cheese and plantain empanada, the most tasty empanada we've ever eaten, and shared the delicious cachapas, scrumptious corn pancakes with excellent Venezuelan cheese. We topped off the meal with a wonderfully light and airy coconut dessert and a vibrant mocktail. We could not have been happier with our choice of Crasqui to celebrate our wedding anniversary. And did I mention free parking?

Phenomenal food, cozy and comfortable setting, warm and welcoming staff! Lots of plant based options, too! Can't wait to return and try something new!

The explanation of food and restaraunt history, along with the unique flavors, made the experience exceptional!
The food was wonderful. The service was great. We learned about Venezuelan food, so it was also fun and interesting.

We had such a lovely time on our first visit! The service was fantastic. Very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. The drinks were great, very creative and delicious. We had the Tequeños (cheese sticks) and Croquetas (chorizo) and both were excellent. The mahi mahi and sea bass were standouts. We tried several of the desserts and the Cocotero and Affogato were the favs. We can't wait to return!
Amy
Service is phenomenal. Truly appreciated the birthday touches throughout the meal. Bar seating is very comfortable; a great spot to watch the action and appreciate the ambiance. Everything was delicious, but the cachapa and the homenaje a papa shouldn't be missed.

We were not prepared for how amazing this restaurant is. From the minute we walked in, we were treated like VIPs. Our server was positively delightful, the drinks were delicious, and the food!!! It was freakin’ fantastic. The menu had an abundance of naturally gluten-free options (but please offer more gf desserts if you can!), which I so appreciated. For entrees, I had the goat, my husband had the sea bass, and for our sides we had the broccolini and the yucca sticks.
Let me just say, I would go back for the yucca sticks alone. Heck, I would consider moving into the apartment building where this restaurant is located just so I can have ready access to the yucca. They were so. damn. good. But everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully plated. My husband and I were stunned.
Crasqui represents everything that is good about the Twin Cities, and America. Do yourself a favor and have dinner there sooner rather than later. It’s one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while. We will be back.

A great unique place to try something different. We went for my wife's birthday and to try the vegan chef challenge. The food, the drinks, the staff were all fantastic. Go on Sunday for a buy one get one pitcher of sangria.
