I wasn't expecting our trip to Crop to end in the best meal of my life (so far) but he sure the heck did. Crop is 5 stars in my book and I only wish I could keep experiencing the night over and over.
We made our reservation for 8PM on Friday night at the Chef's Table. The CF at Crop is bit unlike others. Instead of a table to yourself in the kitchen you are sat at a long bar overlooking the kitchen/prep. It's pretty cool and also comfortable for bar like seating. I think I'd actually have a hard time sitting elsewhere in the restaurant because we loved being in the action. Having each dish presented to us by the chef/owner was so cool, a highlight for sure.
We did the Tour de Chef, a very flavor bursting, stomach filling meal. Every course was beyond my imagination. Things I never liked before, I loved here such as beets and scallops!
We also paired my meal with a wine tasting so for each course I had a new glass of wine. They were not skimpy on the wine either. My husband had the beer tasting and our waiter proceeded to tell us, "i like you guys!" so I'm giving you full glasses of beer from now on instead of tastings. Advice- if you do tastings you are going to be rolling out of there!!
Crop was overall more than a 5* in our book. It was the best restaurant experience I have had thus far. The best food I have had and wrapped up with some amazing service to make us truly feel special.
Go here for: Dates, chefs tastings, cool atmosphere, good happy hour, to be ooooed and awed.
Don;t go here for: Probably not the most family friendly. If you're not open minded to food. Also, if you complain it's too expensive- some people are just happy with their Texas Roadhouse steak and prices to realize the true magnificence of this place.
