The food was fresh, hot and wonderful. The entire experience was a pleasure. Highly recommend
The appetizer was delicious as well as the desert- the fish entree however tasted overwhelmingly like pepper.
It was a quiet Monday night, so we enjoyed each other on our Anniversary as well as incredible food and service. What a lovely night. They never disappoint!
Crush XI was a very pleasurable dining experience. The food was outstanding and the service was great. We look forward to our next visit, and recommend it to anyone looking for a superb upscale dining experience.
We were passing through Melbourne from Savannah to Miami and stopped to eat here based on Open Table reviews. Wow!! Amazing food full of interesting layers of flavor! There were four of us and we all ordered different things and each was equally kind-blowing. If you like plank steak, I highly recommend! We didn’t have room for dessert unfortunately but next time, we will partake. Thank you!
Great dining experience. Food was excellent and the service was amazing. Would definitely go back again.
Great food and service! I was only disappointed to find out happy hour was only available at the bar.
Fantastic service, excellent food & enjoyable experience.
Flavors on the food are fantastic. I’ve never had a bad meal here. We especially enjoyed the nashville hot duck tenders and my husband’s chicken Linguini dish was amazing. Typically it’s a little quieter, but we dined on NYE and it was extremely rowdy.
Didn't care for the recommended wine or filet. Nice ambiance but food fell short of other restaurants in the area.
New Years Eve! Excellent service and food! Definitely will be back!!
Overall it was great! Service was a little slow as a few neighboring restaurants were closed for holiday / special events, but the staff did a good job of accommodating the crowd.
Had a fabulous meal in a well-spaced and pleasant outdoor setting. Excellent service too! Very impressed with the care this restaurant takes not only with its food and presentation, but also — during these strange times — with its efforts to protect its staff and clientele from the pandemic. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and plan to return!
Interesting menu reads well, unfortunately the food's extremely disappointing. Also it's insanely loud in the restaurant.
Crush XI was outstanding as always. Loud, but the service was great and the food was outstanding.
Fabulous entrees and service. Not crazy about the desserts.
We've been here numerous times and never disappointed. This visit, however, was exceptional. Our waiter Victor made everything extra special. He was spot on with a great sense of humor and good timing. He didn't make too much, but made just enough of a special occasion. Bravo Victor, a diamond in this local gem of a restaurant.
Not busy on a Tuesday for Crush XI, but the service was impeccable by Kenny! Service with a "smile" behind a mask. Everything he recommended was great and I will definitely come back and ask for Kenny. Had two Bacon infused Old Fashions, not on the menu appetizer - Bacon-wrapped dates, Filet with Thai slaw and buttermilk mashed potatoes, and though I should not have - Brussel Sprouts with bacon and candied pecons with Maple Miso. The reason I should not have is that I had no room for dessert.
Great staff and great food/drinks
We Love this place, Friday night was packed and the noise level was too high. We got used to it, eventually, but it was really loud. Victor was our server and he was fabulous; on point with suggestions and his service was superior. The food was equally fabulous.
This was my 2nd visit to Crush XI. This is one of those restaurants that has trouble in delivering on the entire menu. Excessive saltiness was the problem with the first time (brunch) and dry, overcooked meat was the problem with my most recent visit. I won't be going back unless they improve on the food.
Catch of the day very bland not very tasty. Service was great and everything else as expected. Offered to replace with salmon but declined
Very loud in there like extremely. Couldn't hear myself think but the food is great. Guess that's hard to avoid lol
We had an excellent night with friends. The food was incredible and our service was excellent as well. We had not been there and the only drawback was where we were seated ( back room ) near kitchen entry / back patio - which service went in and out often, but other than that, could not have have a better night.
Food wasn’t as fresh as it should be for a $25 salad.
Loved the food and service
The only issue was they were having a Ortho joint party in the back a f they were very loud and noisy
We had the October tasting menu. Only 3 choices, but all were excellent. Great value. We ate at the bar during Happy Hour.
Absolutely recommend. It reminded me of a place I would hang out with my friends when I lived in the DC metro area.
Not to take away from the chef, the food or the physical space, Lisa our server was absolutely outstanding...but the food was perfect, simply tasted and balanced. Highly recommend, if you are in the area stop in and have a great meal.
We had a delicious meal. Great service and meal.
Love this place
We had the best fresh cocktails to start and the food was outstanding!!!! Simple dishes elevated to have delicious & unique flavor combinations. The waiter we had was so knowledgeable about the menu and this is honestly the best service I’ve had anywhere. I was amazed. I love this place’s vibe, the cocktails AND the food. It will be hard to eat anywhere but here in the future! Best of Melbourne for sure!!!
Our food was delicious and our server was exactly what you want, attentive but not obtrusive. Cocktails were delicious and the evening was wonderful!
The only problem with this restaurant is the noise level which makes it difficult to hear one another and the server.
However, it was a great meal and we will be back!
First time eating at Crush XI, so glad we decided to book with them. Food was delicious and service was excellent.
Out on Date Night away from the kids and all of the drama that typically entails, my 1st visit to Crush XI started with a nice setting and comfortable ambiance. Then our server, Denise, was friendly, knowledgeable and polite. But the pièce de résistance was our meal. 2 words...Absolutely Delicious! We had a wonderful date night and I highly recommend! Enjoy!
Crush staff was awesome and so was the food. A little pricey for the area but they made us feel special and left a beautiful notecard to help us celebrate our special anniversary!!
Always a wonderful dining experience
Excellent food, world class. Service is outstanding. Don’t leave Melbourne without visit this restaurant!
We tried Crush XI for brunch. We started with a caramelized onion tart which was especially good. I had the The Elvis and my wife had the Basic Breakfast. The seasoning a bit off on my wife's cheese grits (too salty) and scrambled eggs (too much pepper. The turkey sausage was slightly overcooked, but not dried out. The Elvis tasted great and the brioche french toast was perfect. I want to go back again because I believe this restaurant has the potential to be outstanding based on the quality of the bread and pastries.
Great food great service
