Love the new menu. Our app, entrees and drinks were pretty great. And, our server Megan K. really is a personality dynamo. But, boy, was this an "off night" for service. We had to ask the manager for water - and never got refills - and the water jug never returned. Our drink order was taken 15-20 minutes after we were seated. And, we had to flag down our server several times. CRAVE is one of our favs, and we won't be discouraged. It was just an unusual night, in terms of getting served. Just an FYI.

One of the worst dining experiences ever. Food was over hyped, below mediocre, and way over priced. Never had service as bad as this was. We had 4 people and our server took our drink order twice, our food order four times, and we had to ask for our check 3 times. Will not be going back.

Generally, good marks for food and service for party of three. The food could have been better paced, with entrees delivered before finishing appetizers. Expected walleye orders to be something other than deep fried fish filets.

We had a wonderful dinner. Our server Megan was fabulous and we were visited by the manager Mark who made sure all was well. We really liked the artichoke dip and my filet was cooked perfectly. Thank you to the entire team for a fabulous night!

Very disappointed about the change of menu! I always loved the salmon piccata on the gluten-free menu and feel like gluten-free options in general have been cut down as well as good fish choices. Love the old menu, especially being gluten-free, but not as excited with the updates.
