I went to check out Downtown Summerlin yesterday with a few of my girlfriends for the first time. After an hour or so of exploring the new shopping area, we wanted to find a place to enjoy drinks and share a few appetizers.
We looked up happy hour specials nearby and found that we could still make it to Crave's happy hour.
I really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant - very modern and attractive in decor. We sat at a hightop by the bar so we could partake in the happy hour discounted specials.
For drinks, I ordered a glass of Chardonnay and one of my friends got the Kinky Mojito. I tried her drink; it tasted sour and I couldn't taste the alcohol. She didn't enjoy it either so she ordered wine for her second drink.
We all ordered our separate happy hour menu items and shared a Caprese Pizza. I ordered the Pork Belly Sliders and a Philly Roll. My friends ordered fries, Crispy Chicken Bites, a Futomaki Roll, and the Kogi Tacos.
The food wasn't bad... it was pretty average. The sliders had a unique taste - the pork belly was grilled in a Korean BBQ marinade and topped with a Kimchi relish. They were good, but nothing to rave about. The sushi rolls were rather large but I've had much better. I would not recommend this restaurant if you wanted to splurge on sushi. I enjoyed the fries my friend ordered, they were seasoned perfectly and came with a Peppercorn Avocado Ranch dipping sauce. You can never go wrong with fries!
Our server's name was Joelle and she was very sweet. Attentive to our needs and checked up on us throughout our meal. Nothing negative to say about her.
I would give Crave a 3/5 for the food and a 5/5 for the service. I would recommend Crave only for happy hour drink specials. I think I recall Blue Moons (my favorite beer) being only $4 during happy hour!
