| - We went on a Sunday night and had to bring the kids (7yrs and 10yrs). We were rushing to get to Crave because we had bought 2 of the Living Social coupons and had $80 to spend before the expiration, 3/2/11. With $80 to spend, we spent freely. I had read the reviews before we went so I was a little anxious about bringing the kids and the slow service. We got to Crave about 6:30pm. For a Sunday night, there were more people there than I expected. There was no problem having the kids with us. They have games to play (connect 4, chess, UNO and Taboo). We played the first 3 games as we ordered and ate. We ordered the Strawberry & Honey Mojito ($11). It was very refreshing, we also ordered a regular Mojito ($9) which was a bit strong. We both liked the Strawberry one better. The kids got diet cokes that are $3 a piece..a little steep for soda. We ordered plain hamburger sliders and asked for the ketchup ($9). The hamburger sliders come with grilled onions and blue cheese, but my kids are don't have that full palate, yet. Funny thing was they didn't have ketchup, but before it was an issue the manager had already figured the kids wanted ketchup and he ran out and got some. Nice touch there. We also ordered the combo slider (hamburger with blue cheese and onions, buffalo chicken and cumin crusted pork tenderloin )($9). The sliders were very good, though John thought they were on the small side. As a side not on the size, my 7 year old boy ate 4 of the sliders (just with the ketchup) by himself. So, that's about a $12 kids meal (with not french fries). We also ordered the flatbread pizza which was chicken and pesto. Not very flavorful as compared to the sliders. For dessert we ordered the Victorian Chocolate Cake and two cupcakes (Coco Coco (chocolate) and Vanilla). The vanilla cup cake was the best!! Very moist and full of flavor. The other two desserts were good - not as moist. I think if you go try a dessert that you normally don't order - try something different because I saw other desserts that came out that looked very good. (We always order chocolate desserts, but if I go back again..I'll order something different). All in all, a good place - they are changing their food menu so i will be interested in seeing what they do. Tidbits - there are no sides with meals (that might change) so don't come if you are starving. Eat someplace else and come for the desserts.. On Sundays they don't bake so order your dessert first and have them hold it until you are ready. Again..check the menu as they are changing it and may have more options for meals. I'm giving it 3 stars because the service was a little slow and also because we ordered 2 different desserts and then the server came back and told us they didn't have anymore. Maybe he should have warned us and told us to order the dessert first.
