   Exceptional Dining Experience!!! I was celebrating a friend's Birthday and everything was fantastic! We started with the Cava Rose' - what a perfect way to toast her Birthday! Light, crisp, strawberries, bubbly - just wonderful. I tried the roasted cauliflower starter for the first time - OMG - every single bite was DELICIOUS! What a masterful creation. I'll be getting that every time now!! We both got the salmon - wow - they do fresh seafood so well - cooked to perfection, tender like butter, seasoned perfectly. We finished off with their famous Orange Caramel Cake... if you haven't had this, you need to come try it! We both agreed it's the best dessert around and our favorite dessert ever!! A special thank you to Robert for the exceptional service throughout our lingering 3 hour lunch! He spoiled us with beverage refills, attentiveness, and lovely conversation. Another exceptional experience at Cravings!!

   Went for a weekday lunch. We were the only ones in the restaurant but it took 25 minutes to get our food (sandwich and mussels) from the time we ordered. Our server was friendly but his first words were a list of the foods they did not have that day- a supply chain issue. Of course the walleye was my first choice to order. Not likely to return anytime soon.

   We were sat in a room that must have been used for storage at some point. There was no art, it was fairly dirty, and there was a drape over some boxes in the corner.... not ideal. The server was very friendly, that was the only plus. It was 5:30 and they had practically run out of food. We were told the prime rib was roughly 16 ounces. So my wife and I ordered a steak and a salad. The steak was tiny and didn't come with the listed sides (they were out). $40.00 for that prime rib is highway robbery. The walleye cakes were also overcooked, at least the walleye was. The drinks were good but overall, for $250.00 for 4 people, we did not leave as happy customers. This was our second visit also. We came 3 years ago, and even though I didn't leave a great review, this was worse...

   Parts of the wall had masking tape on it. Food was over priced for what it was. Won't return.

   Food was delicious. Two in our party had a Ravioli dish which they greatly enjoyed. One had a seafood pasta special (not on menu). Presentation on all 3 was excellent. I had a short rib with mashed potatoes and green beans. The short rib was tender, fell apart as I like it and the sauce tied the whole plate together well. Excellent wine list with good range of choices. Service was the only negative that impacts my rating. I believe our server was new or inexperienced. We were seated immediately, drink orders placed, We requested and were given ample time to converse. Food orders were placed and food came quickly. By this time, restaurant was quite busy. We sat for a long time but plates finally cleared. We were never asked if we needed new drinks or desired dessert. One of our party finally went to the bar to catch our waitress to request our check. Server was pleasant, just a bit overwhelmed. I do still recommend this restaurant. Service in past experience has always been excellent, and I am understanding of staffing issues many establishments are currently addressing.

    We were pleasantly surprised with our experience at Cravings Wine Bar. We went there last night for dinner. We had the cheese board and the steak salad. The wine list was fantastic and really unexpected. We will be back; especially in the summer.

    Maybe I’m just too picky, but everything was pretty much mediocre except for the ambience and the desserts. The Alfredo sauce was really runny and the ham specialty seemed like a canned ham so not impressive at all.

    We were seated promptly in a booth where it was a little quieter, but the overall dining space isn’t large. So noise level was on the high side. Our waiter Robert was friendly, attentive and very busy. It didn’t impact the quality of his excellent service, food, and wine choices we experienced. The enthusiasm served with a new wine on their menu of many fine choices was well deserved. The food menu is somewhat limited but what was served (shrimp pasta and a salmon dill dish) was delicious. The chocolate mousse didn’t disappoint. If you’re looking for a great wine selection and food that pairs well with it, Cravings should definitely be on your short list. Bravo!

    At many restaurants I avoid the “specials” as they rarely live up to my expectations. Not so at Cravings. The specials are always incredible! The food here is some of the best and most original in the area. We highly recommend Cravings!

    Quaint, lovely ambiance. Friendly service with a hard working staff! Great food! Our party ordered a variety ranging from apps, salads, pasta and burgers. All were fantastic! The Walleye Cakes were so light and flavorful. Not fishy. Better than any crab cake in my opinion. Parm Truffle Frites were crispy and very lightly seasoned so all palates enjoyed. Caesar Salad was artisan with petite romaine heads. Loved the small garlic toast instead of the usual croutons you see. Shrimp Da Diavolo pasta was delicious and had an abundance of larger shrimp for the dish. All burgers were cooked to specified perfection and were fantastic! Definitely will venture back for dinner!

    Service was terrible. He didn't know the specials, didn't take our order until well after appetizers were complete and never brought the soup. The food was not very good. Limited menu choices were not good. Ran out of salad. One of us got very sick after. Spent way too much money for a bad experience all around.

    I'll preface this by stating it was Valentine's Day...the ultimate restaurant catastrophe holiday. I will also say we've been to this wine bar on several occassiiins and loved it. Unfi, that was not the case on this night. We were seated promptly for our 6:30 reservation, but it went downhill fast from there. After being seated, we waited 23 minutes for a server to acknowledge us and stop at the table to take a drink order. She did apologize, took our entire drink and food order and returned with our wine relatively quickly. The host also stopped at the table to apologize for their communication error and assured us our service would be excellent from here on out. Sadly, it was not. Salad and soup came out. We hadn't even finished those and entrees were brought to the table. Seriously, restaurant timing on the courses of a meal is a lost art these days. I wasn't even 1/2 done with my salad and my entree was at the table.. getting cold. Entrees (Coq au Vin) were bland. Husband was 2/3 done with his before server came back to see how food was and take a 2nd drink order. We were also stuffed in a cold, tightly packed corner that was not very comfy, cozy or romantic. Our server was very kind and offered to buy us dessert, but we just wanted to go home. We love dining out and do so iftrn. This just wasn't the night for it. So typical for Valentine's Day.

    My wife and I return to Cravings time and again, and they simply never disappoint. The menu offerings are very thoughtful and creative, making good use of seasonal produce. The portions are appropriate - not huge, but not skimpy, either. Service is very attentive without being obtrusive, and they have an extensive wine list to find something to pair with anything on their menu. Great for getting together with friends, making new friends, or a quiet date-night visit. Strongly recommended!

    Great overall experience. Food and drinks were excellent--well made and very tasty. Service is excellent but can get a tad slow at times. Price point seems to mostly match the level of food and service. Would recommend Cravings for date night or special occasions.

    Had a burger at lunch which was tasty but not cooked to my order. It came without pink I’d ordered medium rare) and therefore seemed a bit on the dry side. The fries were delicious; I upgraded to truffle fries. My reason for the less than perfect rating is simply that the cost didn’t equal the value. I paid fifty dollars for two orders of Gorgonzola burger and truffle fries, no beverages. Although the burgers include five different forms of beef and a complicated process, according to our server, the end result wasn’t great. Again, it could have been because it was over cooked.

    We decided to have a dinner on New Year’s Eve at the restaurant…we choose Cravings as we love the place. Unfortunately it was overbooked and overwhelming for both sides, clients and service. We appreciated all hard work from staff but we waited for food 2 hours and my wife’s pasta was undercooked, my food was just warm. We will definitely come back to Cravings but not on New Year’s Eve with all respect to the staff. And I would suggest to have a barman for big events. Thank you for your all hard work!

    We love the food here! Such great attention to detail and great recipes. The most original dishes in the area and a great wine selection. It was very busy tonight and they were short staffed (like many restaurants these days) but the staff and owner were great. We enjoyed our evening immensely.
