We had the crab claw appetizer, a dozen oysters, shrimp ceviche, fish ceviche, two face tostada and blue crab tostada. The crab claws were excellent, but could have used a small container of sauce instead of just a small smear under each claw (though it was prettier that way). The oysters were good, but we had one or two that were off tasting (ie old). The two ceviche dishes were perfect and very generous. The two face tostada was very good but not as earth moving as the reviews led us to believe. The blue crab tostada was amazing - so fresh and such a harmony of flavors. Ive never had anything like it!! Service was good and very helpful but a bit slow. I’d definitely go back here. What a great find!!

Great food and fish is extremely fresh. The two faced tostada is a must. Price is high, but for the location, quality of food, and beautiful setting, it is a fabulous date night venture!

Crudo ofrece un menú aunque limitado muy recomendable, mariscos frescos, ceviches muy bien preparados. Recomiendo las almejas con chorizo, excelente sabor, la tostada de callo con atún bastante bien servida, tomamos un negroni y un vino blanco Albariño, buen precio en general. Podría mejorar el servicio , tardaron un poco en atendernos , pero se percataron y nos regalaron un postre. Si regresos

The service was great! Oysters were great. Margaritas expensive but you can expect this in So Cal…and they were great! We are ceviche fanatics and seafood lovers and I thought some of the sharing plates were “ok”. Still good ambience and friendly service so maybe just our tastebuds were off for the night.

I really wanted to like this restaurant more than I did, but unfortunately it did not meet my expectations. Our appetizer was great but the items we ordered as our entrees were not. I am still going to give it another try since we didn't try any of the oysters and tostadas. Deborah the sweet young lady that served us was outstanding ...

The food and service were both good. We sat outside on the sidewalk which was nice. The inside of the restaurant is fairly small with limited seating and has a cool vibe. I would go there again.

We had a wonderful time this Saturday night. We were at the counter bar and what a perfect seat to see the chef in action. All the dishes (we tested and appreciated all the 7) were very tasteful! The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant.

The food was delicious especially the Happy Hour Oysters at $1 each! It was fresh. and There is only 1 toilet which was not working properly. There is a also a 20% service fee for even a Party of 5 which is a total shock!! It was no longer A HAppy experience.

Food was well prepared and very tasty. Missing liquor license is a minus that will change. Prices are a little steep. Wine list is seafood oriented and excellent with US, Mexican and European wines well chosen.

Very nice restaurant with great staff. The food was excellent but the portions could have been a little large. We ordered tapas style and ended up getting 5 plates for a table of two. The cocktail were very good as well. I will definitely recommend this to friends and family.

The ceviche are freshly made. Our waitress Debbie is very attentive. Ambiance is nice in Little Italy. We noticed tho that there's not a lot of people going in here Maybe because it is seafood in Little Italy area and the price range is pretty high but I did enjoyed it. Wine selections is great as well!

Excellent ceviche options! Everything we had was delicious, especially the tiradito mixto - the sauce and flavor was outstanding! Our server was knowledgeable & made great suggestions too. We only had a few different types of ceviche, so I'd like to return for the mussels & oysters.

Fabulous! The hostess was enormously courteous and able to accommodate us inside. If you are interested in fresh seafood from Baja, ceviche in creative ways, fresh oysters (they have both east and west), but order the west coast ones from Baja, they will not disappoint! I’m from NY and I’m telling you to “forget about” the east coast oysters! This is a wonderful little restaurant that anyone with a diversified palat should add to their list of favorites. Best nights Thurs, Fri and Saturdays. They bring fresh fish up Thursday and Friday. Our outstanding server was Rebecca and she deserves a raise!
