My friend was trying to come for her birthday on a Sunday, and the hostess was extremely rude and not helpful. we tried to make a reservation and she said to go in person, so we did. She originally said 25 minutes and then changed it to 1 hour and 30 minutes when we got there. We put our name on the list and then she never called, when we called back to check she said we needed to put our name on the list again. This is very disappointing considering we love Crave and eat here all the time. They need friendlier staff if the want people to come back.

As others have complained…the food is very good but the service is awful. I arrived before the person I was meeting and was told to take a seat right away…I ordered a ginger lemonade which I never received…took almost 45 minutes AFTER my party arrived to get drinks, including tap water…we had to order food at same time because we had been waiting so long. We had to pay at the front because we waited almost 1 hour and were visibly done yet no one brought us bill.The table next to us was getting agitated too. Their bill was brought to them 3 times and was incorrect all 3 times. The poor service is going to run this restaurant into the ground, no matter how good their food is. This is not the type of restaurant you would expect to spend 3 hours at.

I am usually a big fan of Crave, and used to love stopping by the one near home with my mother. But this particular branch is not really my vibe.I usually have meetings right after lunch, and am usually not too bothered by wait times but when a place is so small, you'd think things would be more organized.We visited twice, with one visit ending before we got to order because it took an hour to even order food.The second visit, we actually got to have some food, but the wait was quite annoying yet again. I had assumed two hours would be enough for a lunch break given other restaurant wait times, but once more, it took an hour for someone to come take our order after they had seated us.The food arrived much faster than the table service, but at this point I was going to be late for my meeting and had to eat in a rush.I will say that the food is not bad, but it isn't absolutely wonderful either. They are average tier soups and sandwiches at best, and definitely not worth waiting an hour and a half for.Overall, I don't recommend this restaurant unless you have a lot of time to kill. The food will be tasty, but you'll definitely be wondering why you didn't just go home and make the same thing for less trouble.Vegetarian options: I can't speak for certain if there are sufficient vegetarian or vegan options (maybe just some salads and quinoa) but a lot of meat is cooked and fried here. And it is a small space, so cross contamination is a high possibility.Parking: It is a peculiar, sort of slanted parking space. The space you want to enter is never convenient to get into from your side of the street. But the meters are relatively cheap.Kid-friendliness: It's a very small, often crowded space. It's not that there are a lot of people but the area gets cramped easily and children would likely be uncomfortable.

Crave is fine. The parking around there is minimal. The restaurant is very small. I went during lunch. I sat myself, and it took a bit for me to get a menu. Waitresses told me to sit yet they didn’t hand me a menu or anything. I thought service was kind of off putting until one of the male servers helped me. Food was fine.

The chef needs to seriously consider taking the chicken parmesan sandwich off the menu. It was what I ordered, and it was the most disgusting sandwich I have ever had.To begin, the sauce was tasteless, it had the tomato peel, chuncky in a not texture pleasing way. No notes of having any spices added. The chicken was breaded, not crispy , it also lacked spices. The bread was bland, not toasted, or warm.Overall it was highly disappointing. I will definitely avoid this restaurant.Also, the prices are unreasonable for the quality of food. I don't mind paying $$ for my meals, I do mind paying for something that is below the quality of fast food.Parking: The parking is metered only. I did not see any free parking.Kid-friendliness: Not at this location.

This review is based on my personal experiences at Crave Kitchen and Bar, shared without any external influence or compensation.Crave Kitchen and Bar is a culinary haven in the heart of the city, renowned for its vibrant atmosphere and mouth-watering dishes. A standout experience for brunch enthusiasts and food lovers alike, Crave offers an exceptional dining experience characterized by innovative flavors and high-quality ingredients.The Mimosa and Chicken and Waffles dish is a testament to Crave's culinary prowess. The Mimosas are perfectly balanced, offering a refreshing complement to the rich and savory Chicken and Waffles. The chicken is flawlessly crispy on the outside while remaining tender and juicy on the inside, served atop a fluffy, buttery waffle that perfectly absorbs the accompanying syrup, creating a symphony of flavors that is both satisfying and delightful.It's worth noting that Crave's reputation for excellence means it can get fairly packed, especially during peak hours. The bustling atmosphere adds to the vibrant energy of the place, though it's advisable to expect a crowd. This popularity is a clear indicator of the quality and appeal of Crave Kitchen and Bar, making it a must-visit for those willing to dive into a lively dining experience.In summary, Crave Kitchen and Bar offers an outstanding dining experience with its innovative dishes and lively atmosphere. The Mimosa and Chicken and Waffles dish is a highlight, perfectly encapsulating the quality and creativity that Crave brings to the table.

Any burgers on Tuesdays for only $7.99. They are all delicious and it must be dine in.
Service was nice but a bit slow. Food was ok. The green chile chicken and waffle needed more seasoning. The chicken was really bland and lacked spices or flavor.

Crave a small restaurant and the seating makes it almost impossible for wait staff to move around. My waitress was nice.I ordered the chicken and waffles. It looked delicious , but the. Chicken was undercooked and pink. Another waiter took it quickly back but left my asparagus. He then brought me the Mac & cheese only and I had just my sides for about 25 min. They did offer me a free dessert & The Mac and cheese was good.
