Service was horrible, Thought the waitress forgot about us! Had to flag her down for water refills, The food was good though

Went to crave with my dog, service. I'm a patient at mayo. After being seated and being respectful i requested a table at bar with my mate respecting the space. After being seated i was asked 3 times by other ​staff if my dog was service and what kind. Not appropriate, decided to pay for cocktail i ordered and leave. It was uncomfortable for me and I could tell my dog was feeling bad. We left upon leaving i mentioned to host why, manager came back up and seriously had to push in to conversation, i raised my voice he was rude, raised his voice to me my dog was totally upset. He told me to never come back, not to worry, never have i had that happen. I will tell everyone about this. As s patient mayo will be made aware. Michael llanunde 6128075008 read more

Crave - Sushi Bars Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

My friend and I dined at the Rochester, MN location on May 16th, 2024. The meal and service was great until the end of the meal when I got the check. There was a 4.75% surcharge and I was shocked to find out about this that at the end of the meal. This surcharge was not advertised anywhere on the menu and when I asked the server what it was for she said she did not know. Just that the restaurant takes it for themselves. It really ruined my experience. read more

Large menu and large portions. Mediocre food. My salad was mostly lettuce. Their French fries are good and I enjoyed the mocktail options.

Great ambiance and delicious food ! Their mushroom fettuccine was my favourite! Truffle parmesan fries are delicious as well! read more

Came here with a friend when we were doing a patient panel at Mayo. Many people recommended this place and we were not disappointed. My friend had sushi. I had a chicken stir fry and it was divine. I have no stomach so I don't get to eat most of my meals when I am out but I was able to eat this. I can still taste it! The highlight of this place though was the lavender Champaign. I've never had anything so delicious. I got 2. I don't normally get more than one alcoholic beverage but when in Rome or errr Rochester :) I will definitely be back to try more of the menu and drink menu! read more

I was most I pressed with the atmosphere! I loved how open everything was and the natural lighting. It gave it a happy and casual feel! The food was also delicious, however was hoping the drinks were a little better! The service was also top notch! Definitely would recommend it! read more

Service was very good food was also tasty. Calamari but was good but a bit pricey for what you got

The service and the food is always great here. It is on the pricey side for what they actually offer but I'd still recommend people to try it out. read more

Absolutely awesome! Have had brunch and dinner here, both equally fantastic. Nice ambiance-- good girls night or date night place. The cocktails are tasty. The salmon was absolutely perfect. The chocolate cake was amazing, and easily 3-4 servings!!! read more

Crave - Chocolate cake - Sushi Bars Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

On July 17th, I dined at this restaurant with my son and his friends. The teenagers were a bit rowdy, but nothing extreme. Since I was from out of town, I had made reservations. We were seated fairly quickly. Our server was the dude with tattoos. Well, he kinda seemed more focused on other tables than ours for awhile. It took a while for us to place our food order, and then it took a while for the food to come out, which was frustrating as the boys were hungry. Overall, the service was pretty slow, and it seems like the restaurant could use more help to assist this guy. The server was at least pleasant, so we left a good tip. When I resided in the Chicago area, I frequented establishments similar to this one on a weekly basis. The ambiance was pleasant and the layout of the space was quite appealing. I might give this place another try in a few months when I return to Minnesota. read more

Eaten at the MoM location a few times and this Crave twice. I just don't think I'm a Crave guy. It's expensive for the quality of food, and honestly, I just don't love the flavors that they put together on a lot of dishes. Starters: Lettuce Wraps and Chicken Avocado Egg rolls. The egg rolls were disgusting bland mush. They either screwed ours up or I don't understand how people think this garbage is good. Lettuce wraps were "fine" but it points to a big reason I don't love Crave... the flavors are just cloying and 1-dimensional. It's just like sugar and soy sauce. Mains: Pasta Rosa-meh, Mexi-Roll (sushi) was good, Spicy Tuna Roll was just okay and was poorly rolled Drinks were good, the space is lovely, service was good But for me, it's so unspectacular that the value proposition just fails miserably. read more

It has been a very long time since I have been to a restaurant and everything was great! The drinks were tasty and strong, the food was fresh and delicious and high quality, the service was friendly and helpful, and the ambience was amazing! (Now, I am from Chicago where we have really great tasting food but we are used to people (service) who are kind of careless n rude, so take that into consideration) If I come back to Rochester, I am definitely coming to this restaurant again! read more

Crave - Crab and lobster appetizer - Sushi Bars Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

We enjoyed the food very much. However, the management is very sneaky. When we received our bill buried at the bottom was an additional 5% fee. We questioned the waitress and she said it's "a management fee". That is BS. How many people don't notice it? The waitress said people complain, and she apologized and offered to take it off. read more

The service was great, the waitress was very friendly. The portion and taste for the high price was not worth it. For this and a coffee it was 26 dollars. The cheesy hash browns were bland and needed salt. The jam tasted homemade and it was nice. I recommend Benedicts and pannekoeken instead. read more

This is such a beautiful location! I've been to several different locations but this one has the best vibe by far. It has a nice indoor patio area with plenty of great nature light then it also has a cool bar area. The food is fairly similar to any other classical American restaurant but I am a fan of the sushi they have added on. Our server was a little slow but very kind so it was all good. read more

Excellent quality and great ambiance in downtown Rochester. Service was good, and my veggie burger was top-notch. It's a good dinner spot not far from the Mayo Clinic. It's inside the Hotel Indigo building attached to the tunnel/subway system. read more

Wow, this is by far, our favorite upscale restaurant in Rochester! Everything was absolutely perfect! Service was outstanding, the food was impeccable, and the ambiance was beautiful. It was very pricey compared to some other upscale restaurants, and they charged a 4.95% surcharge on our bill. Parking was free since we went on a weekend. Overall, we highly recommend and will definitely be back for another wonderful date night! read more

We had a great experience at Crave tonight. Wonderful food and service (thank you Giovanni)! We had the chicken avocado appetizer, very tasty. I had the wagyu burger. It was amazing, however the portions are so huge that I couldn't finish my burger. I hated wasting any of it because it was that good. We also had the Walleye which was very good but again a huge portion. We wanted to try a dessert but were just too full. What a great find Crave is! We definitely recommend that you try it. read more

Definitely try sushi rolls. They're amazing. I had pasta and they were amazing too. Recommend for date nights. read more

Food, service and atmosphere were fantastic. Recommend this place highly. Everything we tried was great.

Loved the ambiance, service was quick and attentive, all the food we had was fantastic!! I highly recommend the smoked Manhattan if you're a bourbon drinker. read more

This is definitely a Rochester MN version of the popular Minneapolis/suburbs hotspot. If any city could take a classic millennial hangout and turn it into a hotel bar, Rochester is the place. The food was good if not ridiculously expensive for Rochester (on par with metro Crave prices). If you are looking for a place to eat in Rochester, there are many better choices. read more

Server was great but the food was gross. I ordered mac and cheese and it was soupy, I had to send it back. I ordered crab cakes instead and they were prepared fine but served cold. read more

This place is AMAZING! The wait staff were so social, helpful, and friendly. Update: 2nd trip: shrimp appetizer and veggie burger were delicious! I'm not even vegan I just wanted the fries. Octoberish 2020: they first opened. Even the potato fries and sauce...orgasmic! The sauce for the calamari...surprisingly delicious! Wonderful meal for both myself and my guest (sushi and wagyu burger). It's kind of a higher-end place. read more

Love the atmosphere, great location, always excellent service and delicious food. Love the sushi and the things lovers platter!

Pretty good sushi, with a nice atmosphere. A little overpriced compared to sushi of the same caliber of other restaurants.

Food was good but the waiters vibe was not it at all. Me and my friends felt like we weren't taken seriously and she seemed bugged that we were there. read more

I frequent this establishment and tonight the service was completely off. It took almost 15 mins after being seated before being acknowledged and a server approached. Additionally once we had finished our appetizer, another waiter approached, asked if we were finished, removed the plating , and asked if it was one check? We had to inform him we were still waiting for our entree. Something is definitely wrong with this picture . read more

Crave was located on the second floor of downtown Rochester, MN. We made a reservation beforehand for brunch. The interior design of the restaurant was beautiful, and all the staff was masked appropriately and responsibly. We were very impressed by the service and even more impressed by the food. Everything was delicious! Of note is the blueberry and peach mimosas which were made with in-house syrups. I ordered the spinach, feta, and mushroom omelette which came with two fruit cuts, wheat toast with jam, and cheesy hashbrowns for a fair price considering the amount of food. The restaurant had beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows and dark grey clean designs. The food came out quickly. There was pop music playing in the background too! read more

We absolutely love Crave! Stayed at the Hotel Indigo multiple times and we ate almost every meal at Crave. Sushi, steaks and salmon have been so good, and I love the chicken and avocado egg rolls. We haven't had anything that wasn't great! read more

It's not horrible but nothing special as well. Overpriced for what you get, my wife had pasta with shrimp and scallops for example, and the pasta was dry and overcooked, our kids wouldn't even eat the leftovers we had. The central dining area is great once the roof opens but when closed it was pretty loud. The oddest thing is the 3.5% surcharge they add to the bill to cover 'uniforms and training', it's the most bizarre thing I ever heard of and if it's something that is really needed, just increase the price of the food. read more

The sushi rolls was ok but I enjoyed how "thick cut" the sashimi was. We ordered drinks too. I don't mind spending money if it's worth it. Just left me feeling that it was over price for subpar Sushi rolls. read more

I've had bad experiences the past two times that I've been here. The first time, the good was great, but a server was cleaning a table near us and dropped a ramekin of ketchup on the floor. The ketchup went all over my jacket. The server told me that he got "a little" on my jacket and gave me a wet napkin to clean it. No offer to discount. I had to dry clean my jacket because of his action, but he acted like he did me a favor by telling me. Next, I was there again two days ago and saw that they have added a percentage fee to the bill. When I asked what the fee was for, the server said it was to help pay for uniforms and things for the staff... really!? Just increase your price instead of adding an unadvertised fee! I'm not going back here. read more

This was our first time at Crave. Ambiance is very nice, and wait staff are friendly and attentive. We ordered Chicken Avacado Egg Rolls to share as an appetizer. Very good, and much more than we could eat for an appetizer. I ordered wine, which was good, but VERY expensive by the glass; they could sell one glass and pay their cost for an entire bottle. Also, the pour was minimally acceptable for such a high price per glass. That should have been a clue to me of what to expect when the check came... more later ! My wife ordered Steak Frites with french fries, steak cooked medium rare. Steak was cooked correctly, but the meat itself was tough and chewy. I ordered Filet Mignon, medium rare; the steak was cooked correctly and good. The side for my dish was "crispy roasted brussel sprouts, flash fried & tossed in honey soy balsamic glaze" and "mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were good, but had a couple of large chunks, which were not mashed. The brussel sprouts were terrible ! They were extremely hard, not being cooked completely through, and they were definitely NOT crispy or "flash fried" as advertised. Add to that, the "honey soy balsamic glaze" was not a good taste at all, and I had my wife try it as well and she agreed. Overall, the food was just "average", and over-priced for being "average". In fact, we skipped desert because we didn't trust that it would be any better than the main courses, in quality or price. Now for the kicker ! When I got the bill, there was a 5% "surcharge" included. I went back and looked at the menu again, and it stated at the bottom that it was to allow Crave to hire and retain workers. So basically, they are charging the customer for their labor costs ! As a result, my view is that Crave should pay their workers the 5% they collected from me; thus, I subtracted 5% from my tip ! Again, the "workers" (wait staff, bar staff, etc.) were all nice, friendly, and served well. So, I hope the workers will complain to management if they are not receiving the 5% "surcharge" as part of their pay. We will NOT be eating at Crave again ! read more

My Friends chicken was undercooked when we asked about it waiter told us it was normal and that they bake them. (Me being a previous server would have still taken the plate back) he didn't. We got another server to bring back our chicken and the manager covered a few shots and the chicken as well. (That was nice). Although, They sat us at the table that kept leaking water from the roof (they said it was the AC) talk about roof water in our food, drinks and everything. It took nearly an hour for our food. Everything was slow and just not it. For our first time I don't think we'll be back. read more

My adult daughter and I were visiting from out of town and thought we'd try someplace special. We found the restaurants decor very appealing and quite fancy. We were greeted and seated immediately and our server welcomed us with menu's and a cheerful short conversation. The hot towel service was a nice touch. We had the Caprese Flatbread "starter", delicious. I had the Shrimp and Scallop Sauté and my daughter had the Wagyu Burger. Both dishes arrived at just the right time and were also cooked perfectly. Nice presentation as well. A bit pricey but between the service, decor, and food quality, worth it for us. One area of concern for us were the huge open windows which face the street below. There was quite a bit of traffic noise and occasional exhaust odor coming in and it was eventually chilly for us. read more

Beautiful location. Great ambiance. Good service. Do not order sushi or sashimi or poke bowls. Maybe burgers and fries is the safe bet here. Disappointed with the quality of cuisine at this restaurant and will not be back. read more

We stopped for appetizers and dessert LATE!! Our Bartender, Host, and Server were the MOST accommodating. Highly recommend the Coconut Cake with fresh raspberries. We even got freshly brewed coffee very close to closing. Staff is amazing going above and beyond!! Decor and atmosphere is fabulous. read more
