    Reserved more than a week in advance, specified 4 top against wall as my wife is hearing impaired, specified NO high top tables due to back issues, let you know it was our 46th anniversary and requested a candle in dessert to surprise her. Arrived and receptionist tried to seat us in high top 2 seater. Asked why couldn’t get table requested and was told “we have to hold those for people with reservations.” Reminded we had reservations, was told “the computer algorithm decides the seating.” When pressed finally admitted “i didn’t read the reservation requests until a few minutes ago” for a 6:30 reservation on a Tuesday?! No candle in dessert or even a “happy anniversary.” Menu seems much more limited than it used to be as well, told “oh no, it’s always been this same menu.” No it hasn’t. Time to find a new favorite in Sandusky I guess.

    Our server was fantastic and the food was really, really good. We are from Massachusetts and found this gem while looking on Open Table. If we are back in Ohio, we will definitely be going back.

    Great dinner as always. Love the sushi and the Ragu bolognese and they never disappoint. Only criticism is the overhead fans; we were seated right under one and they can’t turn them off individually. But that aside, the restaurant is amazing!

    We have been to Crush several times and it is one of our local favorites. The service is alway great. They have a solid regular menu, but I recommend giving their specials a try. They never disappoint.
