I'll admit, based on the reviews, I was apprehensive when my friend suggested Crave before shopping... I was either going to dig it or detest it. Bearing in mind we got there at 11:30, we were ahead of any rush. Nice enough weather to sit outside where they have lots of umbrellas for those who don't enjoy direct sunlight dining. Before moving on, I will say that the hostesses were quite friendly but I hate how they dress! I think there's a red/black dress code- which I'm on board with- but the women (more like girls) looked like they belonged at a club, not a restaurant at a mall in Summerlin in the afternoon. Our waiter was adorable & on his game. We started with the bread assortment with fragrant olive oil... we loved every bite, though they were a tad skimpy on the oil. The tables have salt & pepper grinders but if you're a pepper user, don't use salt because there's a bit in the pepper (we super liked it!). She ordered the chicken breast entree that has a tropical spin (with jasmine rice) & I ordered the steak (with mashed potatoes & heirloom carrots). There was a bit of a panic when the chicken came, because it was on the bone with a wing & skin- my friend doesn't like meat on the bone, chicken wings or skin. Our waiter very apologetically offered to do what he could to make her lunch enjoyable & she settled with a side of the glaze since the glaze was only on the skin she wasn't going to eat. At that point, she liked it but I doubt she'd get it again. My steak was tasty & so were the carrots (either sauteed or lightly roasted). The mashed potatoes had a homemade texture but no butter or sauce/gravy of any sort- I ended up using some of the side of chicken glaze to spruce it up & it worked wonderfully. I'd definitely get my dish again. All in all, I think Crave has potential but a few kinks to work out. I won't rush back but I won't protest if it's suggested.
