So this restaurant is new to State Street here in Madison. Until a month or two ago it was a Himalayan restaurant. Not sure if Crandall's moved here from another location in Madison or whether it's completely new to Madison.
Anyway, we thought we'd give it a try today (a group of 4 of us). It really didn't impress us at all, as you can tell from the rating. In fact, it was downright disappointing. When you order something for $13, you don't expect to get something that tastes like something I can get for $6 at a local Chinese take-out. And I don't know if it was a bad day for them or what, but the wait was too long AND they couldn't offer us half the things on their menu. So... what DO you have to serve us today? You could count on one hand the options we had. After we got our food, it was really unimpressive for the price and setting. Our food was bland and didn't have much taste. The chicken was bland ("Rotisserie chicken" from the menu), the Quinoa dish was bland and tasted like chinese stir fry, the tofu version of the "lomo" dish was ok, and the steak version of the "lomo" dish was ok.
Really, really not worth anyone's time considering the amazing other restaurants surrounding it on State Street - and DEFINITELY not worth the money they're charging you for these dishes. In one word: "meh".
