| - What can I say about CRAVE? I can't say that I'll CRAVE it anytime soon. To me, this will be a go to spot if it were the last option ever. I was told by family that this was a good place to eat.
The hostess was friendly and sat us a few minutes upon arrival. Then greeted by our waiter a few min later. He asked us if we had any questions on the menu and my friend asked about their rice bowls, and he had to go ask someone about the ingredients, one time was okay, but 2nd time he had to go ask, it just felt like he don't know the menu all too well. Or am I just being too critical? Okay, let's skip that....
According to the waiter, we came on a "slow" night. So, I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but our food came out FAST! It didn't even feel like ten minutes before it even came out. I ordered the Chicken Caprese Pasta. Flavoring was great in the pasta as well as the flavor in the chicken, but what was bad about all this was the temperature of the pasta. It was in between cold and luke warm. How is that possible... it just is. Some bites that I took was just cold. The chicken was cooked in a bread crumb/tempura batter and honestly the presentation of the chicken looked burned. It was a dark brown color, and I was expecting it to be a golden brown color. My friend order the Thai Curry Shrimp bowl. It came with three jumbo shrimps. For the cost of $16 dollars, you would think you'd get a little bit more shrimp. So if we broke it down, it was around $5 something per shrimp with a side of rice and curry sauce. Yep, that sums that up. I honestly would have been better off at an Olive Garden. At least they served bread with my meal.
The server that we had, we'd be in the middle of a conversation and he'd reach over and fill our cups with water and MY CUP WAS STILL FULL!!! He did that several times! Which started to bug me because my cup didn't need any water. When we were finished eating, we were still talking and when my water was actually empty, he NEVER came back once to fill it up or offered to fill it up!!! WTH!!!! The whole time I DIDN'T need water he was trying to fill my cup and when I NEEDED water, he didn't even bother filling it.
If you do try this place, I truly hope you all have a better experience than I did. With that being said... Happy Eating!
