| - My wife and I were hungry and found this nearby on Yelp. We saw it had 4 stars and decided to give this place a try. We were pleasantly surprised.
When we walked in, the place looked nicer than we expected. We were seated fairly quickly. Since it was the weekend they had a special brunch menu. The price points overall for food were not bad, so that was a plus.
Drinks: I had the angry mule (basically a moscow mule with jalapeno vodka I think) which was enjoyable and my wife had a grilled pineapple mojito. 4 stars for this.
We got a free app of street tacos for checking into yelp. Since it was a free app, we figured it would be fine, but to our delight they were really good. They were presented well, had a nice green sauce and a slaw on top. 4.5 stars for this.
My wife ordered from the brunch menu and got a skillet. The skillet was pretty good, but the side she got (roasted brussels sprouts) was even better. There was a nice flavor on the sprouts as they were roasted with garlic and olive oil. 4 stars for this.
I ordered shrimp and crab enchiladas, which came with a side of drunken beans and rice. This was pretty good, though definitely not a highlight of the experience. 3.5 to 4 stars for this.
Service overall was good, polite, patient and water refills were fairly consistent. 4 to 4.5 stars.
Only thing I think they should do to expand patronage is add some PA craft beers on tap. There are a number of craft beer drinkers who would help expand patronage. People who drink craft beer definitely are not low on the income scale and will pay $6 for a pint of good beer. There are not that many places with good PA craft beers on tap on this side of town. Crave is not as good an overall establishment as Juniper Grill, so I think JG has a real opportunity here that I think would be golden. Heck, I'd be happy to help make this happen if there was a way for me to do so.
