Crave

Went to have a nice dinner and was seated outside where the chairs cushions were SOAKED. So now I’m forced to spend my evening at the event down the street with a soaked ass. The “manager” gave me attitude after I was rightfully upset about spending $130 on a dinner to end up with a wet ass. Be careful going and sitting outside as they obviously don’t check to ensure that the seating is clean and dry. “So I have to suffer for it?” Yeah, you have to listen to my complaint because you’re the manager. (Photos added to prove I was there so they don’t try to remove the 1 star)

I took myself on a solo date at Crave this past summer and it has quickly become one of my favorite places. Since then I've been back alone, with friends, and with my partner. Great meals were had every time. The food is delicious and changes seasonally, drinks are thoughtfully prepared and unique, and I've always had a good experience with any staff I've encountered. The atmosphere is very cool and fun to look at, and it's typically busy but easy to get a table no matter when I go.

The menu looked really good on paper but the food was subpar. Super dissapointed in the quality of the dishes. I split the black bean burger with my friend and after the second bite we sent it back. It tasted like a crispy quinoa patty and it was siper dry. The cheese on the burger was burnt. The vegan risotto was out second option but it was undercooked and the tofu was burnt. We ordered the fried green tomatoes and they were crispy but also just okay. The goat cheese was good. The server was being nice but she could see the quality of the good was not great. I wish she would've done more to make up for the experience besides knocking a dish off.

I was very much impressed by the food, and if you see my other reviews around Akron you would know I am quite picky here. I got the seared tuna app and cornflake crusted chicken entrees. They were unique, not what I expected, but still phenomenal. The aesthetic of the restaurant was very unique looking as well being an old bank, and they played great music.

In downtown akron there is not many great places to eat. This places however is quite good. But it is very pricey. The black pepper pasta was ok. It wasn't the greatest thing ever. But it wasn't bad. It reads as a Carbonara with an Alfredo sauce. The predominant flavor is just black pepper. The airline chicken however is very interesting. Let's start with the bad the chicken at the thinner end is way overcooked. But the thicker portions near the bone are perfectly done. So you get about have a chicken perfectly cooked and the other half is a little dry. But the cornbread pudding pickles and caramel sauce its paired with is so interesting. This is a very interesting take on like a chicken and waffles. It's a great mix of sweet, savory, and acidic. The flavor pairing is exceptional. It is a very well conceived dish. It's only downfall is the execution on like half the chicken. I will say the airline chicken is worth it's price. The black pepper pasta is not. The black pepper pasta just isn't special enough to warent it. The crave martini is just an orange martini. It's good it's fairly balanced the orange juice isn't overpowering by any means and it doesn't read like a brunch cocktai
