  • My fiancĂ© had been wanting to bring me here for quite some time. We finally had a weekend with zero plans and were able to have a cozy date night. I always look forward to an eclectic hand crafted cocktail menu and Crudo has nailed theirs. I ordered the Temporary Treuse. It was hot outside and the promise of lemon and pear sounded cool and refreshing. The drink was tantalizing and the garnish was a nice touch. Pear honey and lemon pair so nicely...who would have thought? ;) Anyway - the concept at this place is like a cousin to the tapas theme. The plates are smaller and great for sharing w/ another person. I really liked this concept and besides, sharing plates with my better half while on a date night made the experience even more fun. The menu is split up into 5 categories: Raw, Cheese, Antipasti, Cooked, and Grilled. We decided to do one of each (except no cheese). We did 1 Raw 1 Antipasti 1 Cooked and 1 Grilled. The pig ears from the antipasti menu were delightful. These fun little cracklings have the saltiness and texture of a pork rind glazed with a sweet Thai chili sauce. This small starter made for an exciting appetizer bite before our other dishes came out. They went quickly so it was a good thing the next couple plates came out fast! From the Raw menu we ordered the albacore with citrus tonnato and dill. This was by far the best albacore I've ever had. All we could do was talk about how FRESH it tasted. The citrus was so light it was the perfect pairing w/ the albacore and didn't over power it at all. The dill was a tiny garnish which gave it a little kick at the end of each bite. From the cooked menu we got the Squid Ink Risotto. This dish was fun. The flavor was great but risotto is never high maintenance when it comes to flavor - just when it comes to cooking it and this dish was cooked perfectly. And no - the squid ink did not turn our teeth black hahaha. Lastly from the grilled menu we ordered the Squid dish. This was served with some sweet nardello peppers and cannellini beans in a nice salsa. The grilled squid was a nice texture to pair w/ the risotto and helped to feel like you were having an actual full on meal instead of small plates. The squid was cooked to perfection and did not have that overcooked rubber texture - each bite was clean and crisp. The beans in the dish provided plenty of protein and helped to "fill you up". Everything on the menu was so tempting but after these 4 dishes we had zero room! The bar staff was friendly. Busy but still made time to chat w/ us. Typically we sit at the bar because we enjoy pursuing the liquor choices. The prices are incredibly reasonable. You get a big city menu that boasts big flavor, you get big city drinks that are exquisitely crafted, and all at the cost of a boutique local spot. The bar area was def more quiet than the restaurant area which we enjoyed. The wall behind us was a giant chalkboard that had the entire cocktail menu all chalked out with small graphics of what each drink looked like when its poured. Thought that was a nice artistic touch to get the guests more involved when selecting their drinks. The lighting was soft and the foyer was inviting with its large armchairs and small library. All in all we'll be back again to try something new from each menu! We were very pleased.
