Good time here and also so much room for events... food was good, service was amazing and atmosphere was definitely the real star here, but just one hic up. Ill elaborate... We were quickly seated (we had reservations) on a Friday night and water was delivered to our table. Soon after, our server identified himself ( Koi) and took our drink orders. When our drinks came out, we ordered apps and entrees . My girlfriends and I tried the Ahi Tuna ( Amazing, Fresh ) and shared the Meatball Salad ( Combo was actually great). Drinks came out quickly and they were fantastic. On to the Entrees; One of my girlfriends and I both went with the burger and my other two friends ordered the pasta and seafood special. They all came out in a timely fashion and the staff was always around to see if we needed anything. Pasta dish appeared good, though really heavy on all the seafood. They overdid it with the amount of Clams . Scallops , and salmon, but the seafood was for sure fresh!! !Burgers were amazing; mine was a bit overcooked given that I requested it to be cooked medium, but it came out medium rare, (the English muffin saved it). I loved the English muffin style bun, I found it crumbly and a tad dry. After dinner we headed into the bar area , this restaurant almost transforms as soon as 10pm hits and for the good. There was a Dj , The bartenders were friendly and asked us right away what we were having and the drinks were made perfectly and served quickly!!!! Key word-QUICKLY!!! The night was off to a great start, but then it happened-The reason ill never go back to crave or any of my 3 girlfriends for that matter!! The Owner showed up. AL. We know he was the owner because its the first thing he told us when he came up to us with his slicked back hair. He Presented us with Drink tickets for free drinks , We Kindly turned them down, yet Al did not stop there. He proceeded to start bothering his bartenders demanding they get us drinks and we again kindly said " no thank you and we just want to stay to ourselves" two of us are married and we were just having a girls night out. So he finally left, the night was great, The music was flowing and the Dj played mostly top 40 music. The Crowd was of an older group and decent to great looking people!! You can tell Crave is the place to be for a happening singles scene and they really market themselves to it, BUT this is the part where we now decided to leave. AL came back after he had a few drinks and his demeanor well lets just say the word "persistent" is putting it lightly. My friend Jennifer told him that we both were married and were out having a few drinks and thats when he told us that " I am going through a divorce, and his wife is leaving him!! All we could think to ourselves is "how unprofessional and HELLO who cares because we dont - straight pervert" We left our drinks and walked out. We ended up going over to another bar down the Street where we unintentionally found out that AL was just at the Fairfield police station over some issue involving a female staffer!!! We are not surprised. His push-ons literally made the bad outweigh the good experience we had. Please dont walk by Crave and if you do and see someone claiming to be the owner , RUNNNNNNNN for your own good!! Sent from my iPhone

Me and 11 friends went out last night for one of my friends birthday. When we first got to the bar everything was ok, until this guy who claimed to be the owner (was dressed like all the customers) came up to my friends and I at the bar. He approached one of my friends and make a smart remark, she didnt find it funny and ignored him. He got annoyed and said she needed to leave, she said she would but she needed to close her tab. When the bartender was taking too long the guy picked her up over his shoulder, he tripped and fell on top of her on the way out. Then he threw her on a car outside, meanwhile I was behind them filming what was happening. He snatched my phone out of my hand and deleted the video! I asked him for my phone back several times, he only returned it once the cops came, he literally threw my phone on the floor! He also threw my friends passport in a puddle. This guy needs to removed from his position, I was told he is not the owner. The employees also told my friends and I that this happens every weekend, he gets belligerent and assaults people. I was also told that he always deletes the video footage, so there is no evidence. As a business this needs to be addressed. My friends and I will never return to this place or recommend it to anyone. They also let anyone in, so many underage kids! If you want to have a good night with your friends go to 55 instead!

The service was great. Thats where it ends! We ordered the fried meatballs to start, they were lukewarm at best. The guacamole had extra stale chips. I ordered the "burger of the day"and it sucked. It was charred and you can taste it. For the limited menu they had, I was scared to try anything else. The only thing that was good was the wine, and thats because they didnt make it. They definitely need a new chef. This guys sucks!

I came here on a Saturday night with some friends. We came and ate, the food was OK. The service was bad, the sever got 90% of order wrong. We were barley offerd an apology. On top of this they decided to close early at 1:20 and the bouncer guy started having an attitude with everyone. He physically pushed me multiple times when I did nothing wrong. This place is garbage, I wouldnt recommend to anyone.

Fabulous bartender! Came for Happy Hour and had a super time. Shared a great wedge salad and Disco fries. An amazing Lemon Drop as the martini of the week and a great grapefruit spritzer as another special of the week. Both are only $5 each. The vibe is super. So many microbrews available. Neat people too.

Surprisingly, very little was going on Saturday night. We could choose a table for dinner. The menu was tempting and we ordered Steak Frites, Carolina Style Baby Back Ribs and Chicken Scarpiello. All very tasty.

Food was ok, staff was friendly. Had poor experience with manager, as I had a complaint and he was very rude and couldnt be bothered. As long as your dont have to deal with him, experience was decent.

The food was most excellent. Everything we ordered was great. We were there at an off hour and the only ones in the dining room so the service was great as well. I highly recommend.

Fried calamari was very bland and came with very basic marinara dauce from a can. Food was just blah... not impressed by any means. No reason to go back.
