Stopped by here for lunch/dinner (it was 3...what meal does that count as?); it was pretty quiet since we didn't come during regular lunch/dinner hours. Crane Alley is a "Restaurant & Bar" but it definitely feels more like a bar than a restaurant--it's very dimly lit, there are pool tables and a large bar area. I guess if you like bars/feel comfortable in bars you probably won't notice this.
I got the veggie sandwich and it was amazingly good. Please allow me to list the ingredients of this most tasty of sandwiches: cucumber, bell peppers, onion, tomato, sprouts, lettuce, basil oil, sunflower seeds and dill cream cheese, all on two big slices of wheat bread. The greek pasta salad was also tasty, and overall it was a very satisfying, generous portioned meal for a little under $7.
My boyfriend had a hamburger and it was HUGE. The fries were good and he liked the burger (although he said it had some kind of seasoning on it, which he seemed kind of "eh" about).
Between the two of us we spent about $15 (before tip and without any drinks). Not bad. The desserts also sounded really good (flourless chocolate cake...mmm...) but we passed on that this time.
I'll definitely be back. I feel like if I had any interest in beer then this would be my new favorite place, but since I'm not a fan of beer or bars in general, that's kind of a deterrent for me (completely aware I'm in the minority here). Oh well. I'll still come back for their yummy food.
