   We went on a weekend and the restaurant was very noisy. It was noted that it was a date night when reservations were made. Our server also was made aware. Instead of sitting us in a corner table, a less crowded area, we were seated in the middle of the restaurant. Several times we had to get up for customers access .

   I love going to crush 11!! Everything there is so delicious and all the cocktails are amazing!! I was surprised it was busy on a Tuesday night. Our server was Nicole and she was so sweet!! The only thing I took a star off for was it took a while to get our food and drinks. Granted it was busy, so I’m sure that’s why, but it did take longer than expected. Other than that, this place is spectacular! I do miss when they changed up their menu seasonally. They don’t do that anymore and it makes me sad. I do think this place needs to have seasonal cocktails or seasonal specials or something to spice it up a bit.

   Exceptional meal and service. Parking is challenging, but a multi story city parking garage is a block to the North. Arrive early and enjoy a fantastic cocktail selection that wont disappoint.

   The kitchen has just run out of their crab cake Benedict offered for brunch. The alternative was to wait 20 minutes until lunch began. My date and I left hungry. Would have been willing to try a salmon Benedict but not a chicken, or bacon entree. Really didn't see any effort to try to whip up a healthy alternative for my date. But we'll try a dinner date on a future occasion. Btw, three other restaurants in the area had issues with being short staffed as was explained to us by the Melby rooftop restaurant who had a 45 minute wait time. We left that too. I really didn't enjoy the downtown Melbourne experience as a whole.

   Excellent brunch… the special cheesecake with chocolate nibs and lots of salted caramel was delicious. Please keep this on the menu!

   I had not been to Crush XI for brunch, only dinner. The brunch menu had many options. We started with cranberry mimosa. I had the burger and my friend had the steak. She asked for substitutions and the chef was accommodating. We ended with great cappuccinos. Brian, our server, was attentive and informative.

   Always a great experience at Crush. The service is above and beyond, the food is great and the ambiance makes for a great date night or special occasion place. Try the catch of the day which is always tops or any of the regular entrees. The burrata is a favorite but I'll warn you, it's a big appetizer so plan to share it. There were at least two birthdays being celebrated and the staff clearly responded with the level of attention the diners had asked for: one very quiet, one with the birthday song and a candle in the dessert. Equally nice is just sitting at the bar, chatting with the bartender and others and enjoying a smash burger. You can't go wrong here.

   The chef did a marvelous golden tail entree special, which both my wife and I had. It was fantastic, and the espresso cheesecake (I’m not doing it justice with just the name) was out of this world! It “almost” reminded us of a light tiramisu! The cappuccino was perfect, as was the home-made orange-cello. Compliments to both the chef, and our server, Julia H. She was very articulate in describing the dishes and answering our questions fully and patiently, did great describing and confirming the pairing wine, and was very attentive throughout. The only disappointment was that we were seated next to a very loud and noisy 13-person party - even though there were several tables open including in an adjoining room. Julia did kindly and quickly help us move a few tables away, at our request, but it was still a bit difficult to have a quiet conversation. After we moved, the hostess promptly sat another couple in the same area, who also asked to be moved. A noisy party is no fault of the restaurant, but it did affect our ambiance. All that shared, we are already looking forward to coming back!

    Crush XI never fails to deliver on quality, flavor, and panache. By far this is THE destination for fine dining in downtown Melbourne!
