    Our experience at crush was awesome. The food was delicious, we all completely cleared our plates and the drinks were yummy too. Lindsey, Zach, and all assisting staff were awesome.

    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.

    My husband had the breaded pork chop and it was delicious. It was so flavorful and tender. I had the sautéed halibut with sweet potato hash. It was cooked perfectly and the creamy sauce that was served with the fish was like nothing I’ve ever tasted. Our server was friendly and attentive.

    Absolutely horrible from the moment we walked in until we left shortly thereafter. Out of sushi, did not know what a cosmo martini was and ordered bread that was stale and served with a plastic cup that was virtually nothing but balsamic vinegar. Waitress was both incompetent and rude after she slammed down our receipt after paying. Just a terrible experience from start to finish. Would be an idiot if ever returned!!’

    Never disappointed with our evenings at Crush. The food and service is always excellent. I had the Shrimp Andouille sausage potato chowder and it was exceptional! That with the watermelon salad were great! My husband had the 10 oz. steak with mashed potatoes and asparagus that he loved. Topped off with a nice bottle of wine and we were very happy!!
