   We made a reservation, however when we walked in we waited about 10 minutes to be greeted. Once we finally sat down, it took forever to get our drinks. We told the waitress we were in a hurry as we had a show to catch at the Belly-Up. That did not help. The food was good, not great, I just ordered the wrong thing, I wasn’t expecting my chicken piccata to be fried in a tempura like batter.

   Ravioli was amazing but the Alfredo chicken was very bland. I understand it being Valentine’s Day that it may be a little bit crazier but quality wasn’t there. Also, a fairly loud and out of key guitarist/singer in the corner wasn’t great. Luckily we finished before the lights started flickering like crazy. I would Give this place another shot on a slower day. Also, we had a 8pm reservation and got seated at 845. So there’s that.

   Came here for a Valentine's Day dinner with my husband and this was by far the worst meal we have ever had. We found Crush on yelp and saw such high reviews that we decided to make a reservations. We arrived 10 mins early for our 7pm reservation and we were seated right away. We were sat at a table right by a window and I had asked if we could possible be moved to the table next to us because I was cold and the waitress replied "can you stay here, it would make things easier for me" I am not one to pick a fight so I said okay even though I was clearly uncomfortable. Throughout the night not once did she ask if we needed refills or how we're doing. My husband had to waive her down just to ask if i could get another drink from the bar. We placed our order right away (7:15) but did not receive out appetizer until 8:20 and our actual meal until 8:35. I completely understand the wait on such a busy night so even though it was frustrating to wait that long for food I understood because I also work with food. When our entrees finally arrived I could not believe how small the portions were and how extremely bland it was. My husband fettuccine Alfredo tasted so horrible, absolutely no seasoning whatsoever. It seemed as no effort was placed into a meal that took an hour to cook. I ordered the pesto shrimp and although the shrimp was some what enjoyable, the pasta itself was so unappetizing, again no seasoning. The only thing I can praise about this restaurant is the live music they had (the musician had and amazing voice and played beautiful music) and the quality time my husband and I had spent talking as we waiting for our waitress to give us any of her time. Save your coin and go to Olive Garden. Bigger portions with salad and breadsticks, better costumer service.

   What a great restaurant. We sat in the lounge which was nice and relaxed. The menu was ample--it was hard to choose and will require more trips! The bar was full with locals and a musician came in. He doubled down the ambiance.

   ambiance and service were good. the food was fair to good, certainly not great. the wine list was terrible. the selection was OK but extremely expensive. Erath pinot noir at $80.00?!!! I can buy the same bottle of wine at Costco for $11.00. come on man! I understand restaurants need to charge more, I owned a restaurant as a young man. you need to reconsider your wine prices before you lose a lot more customers like us.

    We sat in the bar to enjoy Happy Hour. The bartender was fantastic. He was friendly, efficient and extremely knowledgeable about their wine offerings. He made everyone in the packed bar area feel welcome and well taken care of.
