| - Talk about a beyond incredible experience with the most unbelievable service. I don't know if I'm the only one that feels this way, but I'm just so sick of spending money on the same mundane restaurants that can be found on nearly every corner; ones that run more like corporations than friendly neighborhood cafes. I am on a mission to find new places that are as unique as they are delicious and BINGO! Crudo proved to be that place.
My boyfriend and I tried it a couple of weeks ago on a weekday when it was pouring rain outside so, lucky us, we had the already tiny place all to ourselves. Our server (her name was Liz) was so friendly and knowledgable and took her time with explaining the menu to us thoroughly. Not only did she rock, but the chefs were just as incredible. In fact, the owner Cullen (I hope that's how you spell it) hung out with us and told us all about how he can make items that aren't even on the menu as long as he has the ingredients. But I don't know why you would want to because his creations are so well-thought out and inspiring.
So, onto the meals. My boyfriend got the Butterfish, which was phenomenal and anyone that has tried it will attest to this. And I decided to be brave and try something raw for the first time. I had one of the tunas and, unfortunately, wasn't completely in love (not because of the dish but because I'm so picky). Anyway, it didn't go to waste and boyfriend enjoyed it enough to eat that dish too. He did say he preferred the butterfish though...in case you were wondering. Anyway, I went with something more safe: the veal. I would go back there every day to eat that. Seriously, it was incredible. It also takes a little longer to cook so the chefs made us a little something special (on the house) while we were waiting. Did I mention how awesome everyone is that works there?!
Onto the dessert: BACON COOKIE!!! I don't want to give it away and would rather you just be intrigued enough to go there and have one yourself. Just know that it was so so yummy.
All in all, it was a wonderful night and we stayed and talked to the staff for nearly another hour after we ate. But don't take my word for it (or do). Either way, try this place for yourself!
