    All seven at our reserved table had a wonderful Crush Winebar experience. The service by Dan was equally as excellent as the tasty cuisine prepared by the chefs and Nick's bartender skills... Gotta rate this dinner with 5 ***** Stars !

    It's a really great place. Very nice flavors. The duck wings and the scallops stood out. Everything was prepared and cooked perfectly. The oysters were shucked nicely. The shrimp were perfect with a nice sauce. The sushi rice was clean and light. The only thing that just didn't work was the ricotta sauce on the duck confit pizza. It was good, the other flavors on it were really good, but the sauce was a little gritty. If I'm in the area again. I would definitely return.

    Overall service, food, and atmosphere were amazing! The only complaint I have is that pricing on the appetizer plates are a little high for the size of them. The ribeye was one of the best ribeye I've ever had!

    Went to Crush for New Year’s Eve dinner and enjoyed wine and several shared small plates. The service was great. Ambiance is warm and inviting. The food was so delicious we are still talking about it and planning to make this an annual tradition.

    A suggestion would to lessen the salt on the Ribeye. It was over salted. The rest of the guests had the fish and they it was the best they have. Also it would be nice to have a choice of salad. Thank you

    We came up to Sandusky for a girls cedar point weekend and found this wine bar and were very excited. We were looking forward to the sushi menu and the drink menu, given a lot of the drink menu is vodka, I was very excited. Unfortunately upon arrival, we were informed that they have not had sushi since MAY! Everything was still very good but we were quite disappointed once we were informed of the lack of sushi.

    Really nice and tasty meal cooked by Crush's owner Andrea Crawford and attentively served by our waitress Meghan. My guest, Fr. Joe Steinbauer, had the Market Fresh Walleye and I had the Pork Chop dinner. Very scrumptious topped off with a Manhattan, Johnny Walker Red and dessert of two Hennessy 's...I highly recommend...

    This restaurant was recommended by our innkeeper. So glad that he did. This was exactly the kind of restaurant we like for spending an enjoyable evening. Good wine and small plates prepared by a chef who really knows his flavors. I particularly like the ambiance, reclaimed main street commercial, which has been done with taste. After our meal we strolled down to the nearby waterfront and enjoyed the dusk looking out over the lake. This was a fond memory of our vacation. If we're ever back that way again, I hope to be able to come back to this restaurant.
