| - I thought Crane Alley was my favorite restaurant. It's not. I just had one exceptionally good time, and the rest were more faithful representations.
Crane Alley offers certain dishes for a limited time. The first time I came here, it was the salmon burger, and oh my god, it was scrumptious. It was, like, one of the most yummy things I've ever had. I never saw it again :(.
I came back here, I think, three more times. Still yummy and then progressively less so. I think two of my least favorite things that I've tried (here and in my life time) were their spaghetti and lamb meatballs (which was laughably overpriced for how it tasted) and their Cuban sandwich.
The spaghetti dish was bland and mushy. The lamb uninteresting. It was a comforting meal, but seriously disappointing for its price and for the standards to which I held Crane. It... sort of tasted like Chef Boyardee. I like Chef Boyardee (I know, guilty, repugnant pleasure), so I'm not saying I absolutely despised it. Just... Not great.
The Cuban sandwich broke my heart. It really did. I was expecting a Cuban... Like, you know, a pressed Cuban sandwich. Like, you know, a Cuban. Well, it came on a sub, not pressed, and sliding around in its mayo. Not pressed. Not impressed.
I'd most definitely come back for the salmon burger though.
