Crave's Coastal Kitchen & Cocktails

My girlfriend and I went to Craves for a nice Valentine's dinner and I must say I certainly picked the right place. I had the prime rib with a baked potato and she had the Bourbon Maple Salmon. The food was cooked perfectly. It was a great meal and I plan to do it again soon. The place was crazy busy on the night of Feb 14th and I had to park two blocks away, but it was worth the trip. One server had called in sick but Charlie still provided good service. The only thing was that it was very loud on the second floor and I think that was due two large parties seated nearby.

We enjoyed the daily special of fried shrimp, fries and slaw also the fried scallops with fries and slaw. The shrimp were delicious and prepared butterflied and fried. The fries were standard ok fries and the slaw was served in a small condiment cup which we thought was very small but all in all there was no waste as all 5 shrimp were eaten up quickly.. The scallops were delicious but a bit stringy. There were 4 scallops in the serving along with 1 hushpuppy.

The restaurant was cute with a minimalistic beachy look. The waitress was friendly and the manager checked on us after the food arrived. The Gator tail was a little chewy. The Prime Rib was very good. I got the Blackened Grouper sandwich, but I didn't like the kind of bread it was served on and it was weird covering it with coleslaw, Swiss cheese and thousand island dressing, so I just had grouper. The best thing I ate was the Collard greens. The fish n' chips was okay. The fish was a little overcooked and the fries were only warm. The food is overpriced, but I guess they charge more because it has an ocean view. Unfortunately, I wouldn't eat here again.

We have been here a few times and it has been very nice. Just recently went again for the big four O (40th birthday) to have the 40oz prime rib. It was the best experience yet! EVERYTHING was above and beyond! Our waitress Moe (Maureen is her name but everyone calls her Moe) was the best! When my aunt asked about spices because she can’t handle spicy stuff at all, they made sure she was well taken care of. Next thing we knew Moe had gotten the cook and they came out and collaborated with my aunt to make sure she was taken care of. Then the 40oz beast was laid in front of me and OH BOY that thing was massive!! Most importantly it was incredibly delicious!! I mean FANTASTIC! Thank you Craves for the awesome experience!

Not sure why I slept on this place. Upstairs view was spectacular! Went for the twin lobster tail special on Thursdays. Outstanding and comes with choice of 2 sides. Maple bacon Old Fashioned was perfectly crafted. Excellent service e as well. Ready to return check out other menu items!
