We celebrated our 47th Wedding anniversary last evening at Crush XI, and enjoyed every minute. The caraf of California wine was delightful, salad delicious, and our entree’s superb. We were gifted with their Carrot Cake Ice Cream to share for dessert, and it too was delicious. The staff was delightful, and our Congratulations Card signed by the entire staff on our table as we were seated was a delightful surprise. We highly recommend visiting Crush XI, we will be back. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

A wonderful experience. The Yuca fries were very good. The Wagyu Burger was succulent, the lettuce was just ok. We sat outside at a table where the umbrella needed to be moved to be able to provide shade, our waitress Khali swiftly moved it. The weather changed to thundering and raining and once again our waitress Khali was super attentive and pleasing in accommodating us to an inside table. Khali is a beautiful young lady with a great personality ready to service a customer very positively facing any situation at a restaurant. She has a very bright future at any endeavor, job or profession she chooses. She made our experience at The Landing a very favorable one.
