Update numero tres... is that allowed?
I hope so because this is a different Crop, but the same in all the right ways.
I can't help but agree with yelper Brandon I's review completely. I took two of my traveling colleagues (Chicago and Orlando) here for a meal and it made me feel so proud to live in a Cleveland. I don't know what their reviews are going to say yet, but I will say that their plates were empty. A good sign, right?
The perfect cocktails, the balsamic popcorn I remembered, and entrees still on par with the quality of the original location. But wait... in a new, huge, glamorous space that really does suit the equally huge flavor of the cuisine. Fabulous.
Don't get me wrong. I loved the coziness of the old space and was a little skeptical after reading some reviews. Maybe it was a difference in where I was seated, but I didn't feel on display at all. In fact, I felt in awe the entire time of the ornate ceilings and gorgeous decor. Does it make sense that it still felt simple as well? It just did.
Either way, it was an incredible meal with incredible company in a strikingly gorgeous new venue with the familiarity and quality we've all grown to love in Crop's food. Win.
