We went for the Easter buffet. It was average.The breakfast items were good. The sausage and bacon were good quality. The hashbrowns were nice and creamy.There were only a couple traditional Easter items and they along with the desserts were a let down. The ham was dry. The mashed potatoes were dry, chunky and there was no gravy.There was no bread or salads either. I think a few more items on the buffet could have made it feel like a more complete meal.The dessert area bas particularly bad. It was very messy, not clean. Tongs to grab things were dirty. Everythin gwas clearly pre-bought, nothing homemade. Online it said there would be assorted toppings for the cheesecake, however it was just a plain cheesecake in a wrapper. We had to ask a manager for some chocolate sauce.Not worth the $45.

Mentioned milk and egg allergy. The order was wrong (missing the mushroom conserva and onions which could be made with oil instead of butter which wasn’t offered they just decided to leave it off). I was polite but internally concerned that there would be further mistakes. I got SO SICK from eating here had to go to the emergency room. They didn't handle the allergy awareness with care despite being a restaurant that offers a wide range of dietary options. I’m still sick to my stomach from lunch on Thursday.

Came in around 3pm for a quick snack. We ordered drinks at the bar and the firecracker shrimp and the chicken avocado egg rolls. We have gotten the firecracker shrimp appetizer and are never let down! Just incredible and they are cooked in a swirl shape, making a fun app. The chicken avo egg roles were much larger than expected. Very good, but the chicken pieces were pretty large and not as much shredded as expected. Service was great! Food was hot and came out fast. It was quiet and or back during this not peak time.

My Mushroom fettuccine was good, however some of the asparagus was stringy. When we ordered our drinks, the waiter knocked an entire glass of chocolate martini on one person in our party. She had to wring the wet out of her jacket. Another person also was splashed, but not as badly. The glass was broken at our feet. We were not offered a new table until we asked (there were plenty of tables open and our table was sticky with drink). The manager came over and comped a new drink for her and offered a free appetizer or dessert, which we would not have ordered if it weren't free. We were having dinner before a show so these two ladies had to wear wet, sticky clothing to the show. I feel that they both should have had their meals comped.

Edamame was so-so. Also, my friend asked for a menu item to be omitted, yet it was not.

Crave is a super fun place to go to! I especially like their Saint Louis Park location. I had the blackberry mule and we had the crispy brussel sprouts for an appetizer which were both amazing, highly recommend. We had the chicken rosa, the california roll, and the shrimp tempura roll. The chicken rosa was great and the sushi rolls were good. I am excited to try more of their signature sushi rolls!
Service was atrocious as they only had 1 server for the whole restaurant who was also running the bar. Great atmosphere and food was also

My fiancé and I were walking to the theatre but instead we decided to walk into Crave to grab dinner. We walked in blindly not knowing what they serve. We had the best waiter, Keegan! I ordered the crunch sushi roll and miso soup, it was delicious! My fiancé ordered steak (grilled new york) and it was cooked to perfection! We’re visiting from California and asked Keegan if he recommends any places to visit and he went above and beyond and gave us a list. His recommendation for dessert did not disappoint, we had the smores brownie with ice cream. Thank you Keegan for making our visit at Crave memorable and we definitely will visit the places you suggested.

Our server was pleasant, friendly, and funny. He told us in advance when the food would arrive. He brought a birthday sparkler to the table and let us know in advance that the mini-dessert for restaurant week was probably not enough for two.

I can't stand the extra 4.9% surcharge added to the check. For goodness sakes just adsjust your prices!

The apps were very good but absolutely ridiculous happy hour pricing is only available in the bar area at 5pm. I can't conjure up any valid reason for it. I ordered chicken rosa. Almost inedible. The service was very good as was the atmosphere.
