Crush-UkiahWedding party late evening June 7thWe came in with a group of 6 on the 7th to celebrate a friend's wedding. It was last minute and the AC in the back room was broken. The staff seemed like they were slammed at the time but still helped us as best they could. The waiter we had was EXCELLENT!!! He seemed super busy but was trying his best. It really helped that time didn't matter to us and we were just there to visit and have a good time! Food was excellent and the wines that we had were perfect. We even added two more people toward the end of the night and the staff moved us to a bigger table even though I know what a hassle that is!!!!!! Overall it was a great evening despite the last minute reservation and lack of AC in the banquet room.6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMPleasant surprise for travelersWe like that Crush is located within walking distance from our hotel. We can walk over, have a nice coctail and dinner, and stroll back. While this place is a steak lovers paradise there was a varied menu selection for non steak eaters. We had the chicken piccata, beautifully presented and was delicious. We had a local (Mendocino) Sauvignon Blanc, which was refreshing and tasty. The space seems large, high ceilings, and relatively quiet - a rare thing these days. Our server was attentive and very pleasant. In our experience, the prices were reasonable, not unlike some of our favorite restaurants at home. We plan to visit Crush again when we find ourselves traveling through Ukiah.6/3/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Food!The food was excellent and the service was okay. Waitress was clueless as to food preparation and presentation. When we asked her about the house salad vs. salad bar, she became defensive, and seemed irritated to elaborate, though she was more than willing to tell us of her previous waitressing experiences...hmmm.
Now the food was something altogether different -- superb comes to mind. The shrimp cocktail was not only excellent, but plated beautifully. I recommend everyone try that, I know I'll order that again & again. The chicken piccatta was cooked perfectly, tender & flavorful & my husband's ribeye was seared and seasoned, again perfectly. The only downside to the meal was our side of brussell sprouts, they were average at best.6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMUkiah Crush restaurantVery good quality steaks - I got the rib eye and my daughter got the filet. Cooked perfectly and the beef was flavorful & tender.
We had a wonderful server (forgot his name) who was attentive & funny.
Not a lot of "higher end" restaurant choices in Ukiah so this is a good destinations with every entree <$30 and portions are good sized. Can definitely share salads & side dishes.
It's a big, new place lacking an intimate feel nor any type of historical charm. If you want that, there are a few spots downtown that will fit that bill.
Recommended - would go back there.5/31/2013 12:00:00 AMVery nice place, good food...The food is very good (although if you are a true "steakhouse" lover, they don't offer all of the dishes associated with a traditional steakhouse, but it's not that big of an issue). The kitchen is a bit slow, our server apologized for the delays multiple times, but we weren't in a hurry so it was not a problem. Overall, a very good dining experience, we will be returning.5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMBirthday dinnerDinner and service was excellent. Our dinner arrived quickly and was served by at least 4 people so that our dishes all arrived at the same time. We were checked on during both visits by no less than 5 different people. I think the service at Crush is exceptional. This was our second time at Crush and the dining experience was just as good both times. Our servers Adam and Charles did an excellent job. I will definitely recommend Crush and come back again!5/22/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent Alternative to BroilerSalmon appetizer was delicious, ribeye cooked perfectly, salad bar excellent choices, waiter and server very polite and not too overbearing. Much better dining experience than the previous eatery at this location.5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMPre-prom meal.I made this reservation for my daughter and her prom date for their pre-dance meal. She reports that the food was excellent. Also, the staff were very considerate to their need to be done in time to make it to their dance on time. Their meals arrived in a reasonable time. They both had the same dish (fettuccine Alfredo) and loved it. My daughter was thoroughly pleased with the service. Per her report, they even wrote "prom" in the bread dip! Lol.
Thanks crush! My daughter and her date had a great experience!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMTasty ExperienceSmart Menu. Not a lot of choices yet everything on the menu would be plates I would order and enjoy. The meal and service was very good. The ambience was not too quiet though friendly with a bit of elegance thrown in for good measure. I had the Cioppino which was presented well. The flavor of the broth and fish, shellfish combination was unique. The meal bested some of my favorite locations for this dish. My wife had the Chicken Picatta. She also was impressed with the presentation as well as the flavors and textures. f The paired wine was the Sauvignon Blanc from the local Parducci Winery that we had visited earlier in the day. The Key Lime Pie and Rich Dark Roast Coffee for Dessert was a perfect finish.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst time at Crush, we hadFirst time at Crush, we had a party of 5 and EVERYONE had a wonderful dinner and drinks. The salad bar is AWESOME and the steaks were PERFECT. It's so nice to have a quality restaurant to go to.

We will DEFINITELY be returning.4/22/2013 12:00:00 AMsalad bar;;;;mediocre qualitysalad bar;;;;mediocre quality filet steak outstanding service a little slow4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMWe enjoyed Crush. ReservationsWe enjoyed Crush. Reservations on line were a breeze. We were seated right away, we had contact with our server right away. The salad bar was clean, spacious and well stocked. Our food was delivered within a reasonable amount of time and was good. Even when a well done steak was sent back for a little more grilling, it was handled graciously and returned in a short period of time. Good experience!4/15/2013 12:00:00 AMwe had a great time and thewe had a great time and the food was wonderful. the booths are really great. the baby did fine there.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMMy steak was a little overcookedMy steak was a little overcooked and not really that much flavor.
