    Excellent food, great service. Julia our server was friendly and knowledgeable with very good recommendations. The setting is beautiful. My one criticism was the noise level. Although not filled to capacity it was difficult to hear even our guests at our booth. An overall good experience and will definitely return!

    The restaurant is beautiful and the food was outstanding. The noise level can sometimes take away from the overall enjoyment of The Crane. This was my second time here and a bit less noisy than my first time. I will definitely come again.

    Awesome place! Exquisite and unique decor. I had the duck which was quite good, very succulent. The other 3 in my party had the bison which they loved. Service was exceptional. Great seating. Great vibe. Fun bar. We will definitely be back.

    We loved the look and decor, but we were there on a Sunday night, so there was no hip vibe. The food was good but overpriced. Excellent shrimp cocktail (but only 3 for $20), good tuna ceviche, so-so lobster appetizer, mushy risotto, excellent spinach side, and good Chilean sea bass.

    The beet and mango salad was outstanding, and the seafood dumplings were excellent. My husband had she-crab soup and the scallops entree, and they were excellent. We shared the chocolate mousse dessert, and it was outstanding. This was our first visit, but we will be back and also recommend it to friends.

    What a great time, there were 5 of us. The beef carpaccio appetizer was sensational, and the entrees were great. And their large, comfortable booths are perfect - when can 5 ever have a booth?! For sure, we'll return.
