Crescendo Fine Dining

Like many other reviews, we came in from out of town looking for a decent place to eat for dinner What we got was above and beyond decent.

I had not visited this restaurant in many years, but I was very impressed with the menu, food, and service. It was definitely worth the drive from Clear Lake, IA!

Excellent farewell and a charming atmosphere. When the server ground the pepper, he seemed lawful as if there was nothing in the world he would rather have done. A wonderful place. Ver carta

Should probably be made clear that it’s reservation ONLY… trying to support good local food options while traveling for work is always a goal of mine, unfortunately I’ll never know if this was any good. The fellow at the door informed me they are closing for good at the end of the month. Ver carta

I can't believe I have never been to this restaurant before. The food was fantastic and the staff were very efficient and friendly! I will definitely be returning here for special dinners. Service: Dine-in Meal Type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dish: Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee.

Wife and I shared the crab cake appetizer, it was delicious. I had the filet mignon, it was phenomenal! The Crème brûlée finished our meal perfectly. Excellent food, very relaxed, demanding atmosphere, highly recommended. Bonus of the cook creates crazy delicious food, but also came out and played the piano. Very impressive!

My wife and I are from the east coast and we really enjoyed our visit to Crescendo. The food was Exquisite and we feel that this restaurant would fit in where we live. The steak we had was seasoned well, the parmesan garlic mashed potatoes are delicious, and the asparagus was a great compliment to the meal. The atmosphere was relaxing and the music only added to the ambiance. The servers were very attentive and informative. Albert Lea is lucky to have an establishment such as Crescendo! Ver carta
