    Ambience, staff and service were all great but the food was somewhat lacking in taste and presentation. We did not have any cocktails so I can’t speak to that. Mussels were ok, tuna was good, broccoli was overcooked.

    Dinner here for us was on the light side as we had just finished two days of too much food elsewhere. We each had a cup of soup...tomato (devine) and SheCrab (good). We split the crab cakes as an appetizer and a side of fries. The crab cake appetizer was certainly enough for two and could have easily been an entree. Delish with street corn around it. Fries were crispy and hot. Would definitely try again for a larger meal. Beyond anything else, the staff from entrance until departure was outstanding, friendly and attentive.

    We had a delightful evening at Crave. When I made a reservation I requested a booth if they had one available. They had one waiting for us when we arrived. The food was excellent! I can't even begin to say how wonderful our server was. He didn't rush us but was always there when we needed anything.

    our server was not very attendtive and did not have his hair back. that is a DHEC violation. Food so so and came pretty late. WE all waited very long for our bills and then had to track down another served to ring us out.

    Staff was very friendly, and on top of everything. Atmosphere was nice. Food was mediocre. The famous mac & cheese wasn't anything special, and the mashed potatoes tasted very grainy and had too much salt. Alcoholic beverages weren't worth the price imo--they were very watered down. The tomato soup was excellent though, but I wouldn't come back just for it. The staff was definitely the best thing about this place.

    Impressed by not only the timeliness of being seated, but also the service (Adam) & the food’s taste/portions. Enough for lunch & leftovers for dinner. It’s a long drive (25+ miles) from the house down the coast, but when in Mt Pleasant next time we would go back.

    We were so excited to try Crave, and by chance ended up going during Restaurant week. We ordered the whipped feta with crostini, peach salad, Mac and cheese fritters, Mediterranean bowl, butternut bisque, country fried steak, and double fudge cake. The food overall was good, but the Mac and cheese fritters and butternut bisque were excellent. I was very disappointed that there were no vegetarian dishes other than salad…even the Cheese Ravioli has bacon in the sauce. I ended up having to order a few things a la carte from the restaurant week menu, which ended up being very expensive. Service was mediocre and it was not busy when we were in there. Overall, I give it a B. It was good, but we prob won’t be back since there are so many other places to try.

    We made reservations for dinner on the patio - ambience was nice, staff was friendly and service was prompt. The positives end there. The food was terrible. The “famous” mac and cheese tasted like a Goldfish cracker…very bland and the consistency was like soup. Basically just noodles in a puddle of cheese sauce. The mashed potatoes tasted like not a single bit of salt or butter was used, they were also extremely bland. My boyfriend got the scallops and he said they were cooked perfectly, but the risotto was overcooked and dry, and the green beans were undercooked. Overall we were super disappointed, this place had great reviews but wasn’t worth it at all.

    Cute place, but music didn’t fit the ambiance and the lighting was a bit too bright over the booths like spotlights. We ordered the grilled peach salad, Mac and cheese, crab cakes,steak and friets. Salad was good overall, Mac and cheese was bland and nothing to write home about, crab cakes were very good, the steak was the most disappointing. It was under seasoned and over charred. The fries were greasy but still tasty none the less. I also had a fabulous glass of cab from Jax Vineyard that made my night. This was our first experience but would try again. The neighborhood/shopping area is very quaint.

    Could not say enough great things about the service we received during our dinner reservation. Food came out hot and fast! The appetizers and drinks were very good but the main course was dissapointing. My grandfather ordered a steak and could barely eat it. The mac and cheese and short rib were bland and tough. Usually my short ribs fall right off the bone and I needed a knife to cut it! Again, service was wonderful but my food was subpar.

    Overall a pleasant dining experience. Restaurant was nice, service was great, but the food was underwhelming. We had high expectations coming in but my husband received just 3 small scallops and overly heavy risotto on his $36 plate, my Greek platter was alright but nothing flavorful, and the kids meals seemed like moderate quality (probably frozen French fries). Not bad, but we won’t be returning.

    Excellent food - top notch ribeye, Mac and cheese, collard greens, barramundi for meal and calamari for appetizer! Hostess was very accommodating as we waited for table to get prepped and offered suggestions on menu and favorites- chefs have talent and it shows- great place to get away and have great meal

    Not our 1st time at Crave, usually we are satisfied but monday 8/21 was not a great night. Not sure what happened in the kitchen, but food (from appetizer / greasy and tasteless Fried Calamari to main course cold fish special) was simply bad. We will come back since it was probably an accident, but we hope that it will improve.

    We enjoyed our visit to Crave. We were glad to go at 6 because several large parties came in shortly after us. Matt was excellent as our server. The menu is diverse and service efficient. I had not had their mac n cheese before and found it creamy and tasty. I got it with a crab cake and really enjoyed it. Crave is a real neighborhood gem.

    Had lunch at about 3:30 PM on 9 Aug 23. There were 4 of us and the wait staff was excellent! They were very patient and were fun to talk to! Service was timely and the food was outstanding. Pricing for most choices was good. I think the toppings for the macaroni and cheese were a little on the high side. Mediterranean Salad was very good and so was the Short rib sandwich. Quantity of food per entre' was very good!

    We’ve been coming here for years and it started as a nice neighborhood place but seems they are trying to be more high end. Got a burger and it was $2 for cheese. Just make it $2 more and give me my choice of cheeses or no cheese… it’s just ridiculous when you charge me $2 for one slice of cheese
