| - After circling the block a few times, we finally found this little jewel. As other reviews mentioned, Crudo shares its space with a salon and retail store. It was slightly odd, at first, sitting by clothes and I kept getting distracted by the cute jewelry displays. Eventually, we moved our table closest to the bar which was more comfortable. With bottles of wine half off on Fridays, we split a nice bottle of Nebbioso. After the half off, it was $18. The menu is very limited but I wanted to try so many things on it! Decisions, decisions. I went with the 4 course menu ($40) because I wanted to try a little of alot. I chose the Market Crudo (squash blossoms, tempura fried stuffed with mackerel), Risotto (Beet stained with lightly fried beet chips and mixed with lardo), Butterfish (with tomato, lardo, and a citrus sauce), and Gniocchi. I wasn't a fan of the gniocchi as it had a sauce that reminded me of pot roast. I do not like pot roast. But the other courses I had were delicious. My hands down favorite was the creamy risotto. My only disappointment was that I couldn't eat more of it since it came third and I was getting stuffed. We split the Cheese plate which had so many things on it including some bread and meats. That was also a favorite. The service was excellent and the server was very knowledgeable and attentive. Since I plan to go back, I think I may stick with the cheese plate and risotto (and refuse to share with the husband). It was sooo good. I think the most I would do is the 3 course - $30 (as opposed the 4 course I chose) but that is because I can't hack eating more. I wish I could because this is place is way worth that....maybe I should invest in a cute pair of stretchy pants for my next visit.
