"Tried Crave for the first time on a Sunday night made reservations a few days in advance for our party of eight and they had either 4 PM or 8 PM seating available. So we went with the 8 PM reservation. Although they closed at 9 PM on Sunday when we arrived for the reservation at eight, it was busy and the parking lot barely had any spots available. We were seated immediately and our waitress was very friendly. From all of the reviews, their menu selections, and what I could gather from the talk about town I didn't expect it to be such a fancy place. I'd say it has a casual vibe for a fancy place as in no one was dressed up and it's definitely appropriate for families with kids. It's definitely fancy enough and and appropriate for a special celebration. Our waitress introduced the restaurant as it was our first time and told us about the premium flour used to make fresh pasta so we had high hopes. She also made a big deal about their french fries being really great. I ordered a salad with salmon, other meals at the table were the turkey Reuben, a wedge salad, ribeye steak, pasta with shrimp, mac cheese with french fries, and an Ahi tuna bowl. We ordered the focaccia bread as an app. Since we are all family, I tried a lot of the different dishes. Out of everything ordered, the best of it was the wedge salad and the turkey Reuben sandwich. My salad with salmon was a good choice for a light bite. The salmon was tender and just slightly undercooked, but that's exactly how I like it. The ribeye was very marbled and very difficult to cut. It was either the knife or the meat but I think they just gave us a dull knife because the meat was pretty decent and it wasn't too tough. The pasta with shrimp was my least favorite because it was so oily. I was disappointed since the pasta was supposed to be so good but I couldn't tell if it was any different than any other pasta. Even the mac cheese was not anything special. My children loved the french fries, and raved about them, but the fries didn't excite me. Overall, I'd say that I enjoyed the ambience and the service, but the food wasn't as impressive as I was hoping it would be. As it was hit and miss this time with the food quality we will try again and try different things."
