    A level of care not normally found in St. Petersburg. Hog snapper was excellent and served with a flair. Wonderful appetizers and both chocolate desserts were a wonderfully finale

    I booked a Mother’s Day reservation over a week prior to this special day. The day before the reservation I get a call to confirm my reservation. At that time, for the first time, I’m told there’s a $100 prefix menu only. This is a terrible way to do business. My party consists of women that eat like birds. The food and service were great. But it’s shady!

    Went for Mothers Day, checked website multiple times leading up to the reservation and did not see anything about a pre-fixed menu for the holiday (we were trying to avoid pre-fix menus). When we go there, sure enough it was a $99 per person prefixed menu. We had some dietary restrictions in the group, a peanut allergy and a gluten allergy. They were not able to offer gluten friendly options other than the steak dinner. All the appetizers and desserts had gluten. We ended up leaving and eating somewhere else as we didn’t like the vibe. Not to mention the place was empty on a major holiday when everywhere else was jam packed. That spoke volumes as we walked in. Admittedly please don’t reference my review for the food quality as we didn’t have any of it. But 1/10 when it comes to food accommodations for dietary restrictions. Couldn’t even order off the regular menu despite the place being empty

    I would highly recommend the Crane. We went for an early dinner. The service and staff were very welcoming and attentive. The food and drinks were amazing. I had their mocktails which were well crafted, the dumplings were flavorful, the house salad was delightful with this fresh mango ginger dressing, and my wagyu steak bites were beautifully cooked. I would come back and recommend this to anyone looking for a new place.

    First time at The Crane. Excellent service from front end ladies, server and manager. Food presentation very nice and cooked to order. Octopus was over cooked but tasty. Noise level was very high but it was peak time. We’ll be back…!
