    I brought my mom to The Krebs for her birthday celebration and we couldn't have made a better choice! From the ambiance, Christmas decor, Christmas music, phenomenal service and exceptional food everything was beyond what we expected. Our server, Erica, was attentive, kind and enjoyable. I wish I could give her more than 6 stars!! We will be back for sure!! If you are looking for a quiet and enjoyable place with exceptional food visit The Krebs. Happy Holidays!!

    We had a fabulous experience at Krebs! It was our first time there, and every single aspect of the evening was perfection. From the young man who greeted us at the door and took our coats, to our waiter John, the service was top notch. Our cocktails, dinners and dessert were all absolutely delicious. The cozy ambiance throughout the restaurant was wonderful. We’ll be back for sure!
