Crave American Kitchen & Sushi Bar

UPDATE: I have been back a couple of times and the experience was much better then the first time. They seem to have gotten their act together although it’s never very busy. ————————— BEWARE GLUTEN ALLERGY FRIENDS! I went there on Valentines day with my son and was given the gluten free lunch menu. I was going to order the grass fed burger with French fries but luckily asked the waitress to make sure the fries had a dedicated gluten free fryer. She came back to tell me in fact the chef said they did not have a dedicated fryer and they would be contaminated. I ended up ordering the Sushi which was good but very expensive and not worth the extra cost - the sushi in the eatery is better. I asked to speak with a manager about the gluten free issue. I explained to the manager they should be careful not to have a gluten free menu with items that are not actually gluten free. I then explained that using the same fryer for breaded items and gluten free items was dangerous for many people. The manager assured me that the fryer was in fact gluten free and dedicated. The next night I came back with my wife because I was curious as to what the real answer was. I asked a different waiter to talk to the chef about the fries. The chef also told him the fryer was indeed shared and used to cook breaded chicken and other items. I would not normally leave a bad review but this is very dangerous and the managers in particular should know better especially when I asked such a straight forward question about the fryer and told her that I would become very ill if she was indeed wrong. I also found her to be rude and quick with me as if I was asking an offending question. When I ordered the sushi I asked for gluten free soy sauce - one assistant manager told me they did not have any but my waitress brought me some guaranteeing it was gluten free.... There is no possible way that I would risk eating in this restaurant again. ( I will add that the wait staff was very friendly and went above and beyond to try and help me.)

Food was okay, atmosphere was forgettable, service was terrible. In spite of telling our waitress three times, two of our drinks never came to our table. The drink that made it was the wrong drink. It took over 30 minutes for our food to come out, even the single appetizer. Most embarrassingly, though, they ran out of forks. As in, we ordered dessert, and they told us they didn't have any more forks to give us. WHAT?!

Wouldn't have gone here if not in a group. The food is overpriced. While everything tastes pretty good, you could get better quality for cheaper at a mom and pop shop.

I do like this place very much for their drinks and truffle fries, but the other things I've had like the Mac and cheese(not pictured), their burger(not pictured) before which were alright but they honestly need to refine their sushi skills. The poke I had was actually pretty good and filling. The fish pieces were cut even and the mango in the poke was fresh, however that pickled carrot in my sushi roll was extremely odd and really left a weird soury vinegar taste which kinda just made the roll taste weird. It tasted better when I poked it out. I wish there was a way to rate service and cleanliness because the restaurant was very clean, the staff was extremely attentive, and they even came and sang me happy birthday and gave me a warmed brownie and ice cream. 5 stars on the service and cleanliness but the food is just okay.

It was a fun place, eclectic menu, but all was tasty and well prepared. Maybe a little pricey, but not discouragingly so. I would go again if I was in the area.
