    There were negative reviews after they first opened, which can be expected. The drinks, food, and service were outstanding. Savsnnah was a good server and made excellent recommendations. Definitely will be back

    We celebrated my partner's birthday last night and ate at the Crane. We'll definitely go back. Everything from the innovative cocktails to the shared appetizer and our entrees were all outstanding. The wagyu potstickers were flavorful with a soft filling and chewy wrapper. My surf and turf was a fantastic meal - I got the smaller size and it was just right for me. My partner got the lamb chops and he was very satisfied with them. I shared my cheesy risotto with my partner who said it was the best risotto he's every had. And our service, Julia. She was just excellent. She knows the menu through and through and all of her suggestions were winners. Look for Julie...

    The food and the service were fantastic. The seabass was delicious. The asparagus were the large type other upper end restaurants should offer and don't. Before I say any more I want to secure a reservation for Fathers Day.

    No idea how this restaurant is as when we showed up it was closed for Memorial Day even though I made a reservation on open table. Big let town when we had a visitor in town and tried to take them to a newer local restaurant. Overnight on someone’s part…

    Crane is a beautiful restaurant with a very promising menu. Unfortunately, on both of our visits our food was delivered under cooked. Our most recent visit the arancini balls were still frozen on the inside. On our first visit the crab stuffed grouper was raw in the middle. My second glass of wine also had a bug in it from the bar. The service each time was on point. Each entree was removed from our bill and the wine was refreshed. It's just unfortunate that we've had these issues during our visits. It's a beautiful restaurant. We hope things get ironed out.

    I was extremely disappointed that the Crane has a policy where they do not guarantee any meals to be gluten free. Our server was very clear that cross contamination could be an issue. I did stay and eat as we had limited time before a show we were going to to, and the food was delicious! I wish they would be accommodating to allergies.
