There were 5 of us. Menu was very simple and easy to read through. They have open kitchen, so you can see the cooks working it up in the kitchen. There are different variety of gyros and shrawma that they have. I usually order a either of it. So it's surprising to see more different one! I stick with the basic gyro and my daughter got the Philly cheese steak gyro and the beef shrawma dinner plates. We also order some appetizer and dessert. Food tastes very fresh and good. A must try spot.

This was my second visit to Crave Mediterranean Cafe on Republic Road…read more Overall, it's a solid fast-casual experience -- not fine dining, but that's clearly not what they're aiming for. We spent about $40 for two people and had table service, which was a nice touch. Our waitress was very friendly and had a great attitude, though it seemed like she might have been having an off night as there were a few small mistakes along the way. The food was good across the board -- nothing bad at all, just not especially memorable. The space itself is a plus: larger dining room, comfortable seating, and a nice place to sit and enjoy a meal. If you're comparing Mediterranean options in Springfield, I'd probably give the edge on food to Greek Belly, but Crave offers a more spacious and relaxed dine-in atmosphere. Overall, a good, reliable option -- especially if you value the setting as much as the food.

The decor is pretty nice as they used raw materials in a way to make it feel comfortable. The service was exceptional as even when busy the wait staff was on their toes. My wife enjoyed her meals with a big smile on her face and a full tummy. What husband could ask for anything more!? I, myself, am a bit more of a picky eater so I did the basic breakfast. However, it was good. Food prep did seem to take a little longer than usual but the food was hot and plenty.

Not a noisy place- decor is not overdone. Waitress was pleasant. Overall would go back for breakfast again.

Gracey and Bruce were our servers. Both were great. Gracey immediately removed trash ( which is a rarity now days). The service reminded me of a cruise vacation from several decades ago. My wife and I shared the trio ( salmon, shrimp and chicken tenders) plus baked potato, steamed broccoli and a salad. Our bill was a bit over $20 plus tip. The only thing I wish we would have changed is we would double up the shrimp instead of the chicken. 3 at our table raved at the sirloin. My father in law said his baby back rips were wonderful. Everyone raved at the food and the service. My only warning is get there early--- don't expect to walk to table at noon. We got there when it opened at 11am and they accommodated our group of 8 immediately. My brother in law drove back for a return trip a couple days later ( I had to go home). My opinion is since Covid most places don't do good service anymore. FD's does.

Enter The Grotto west coast food. Since I lived on the west coast for 40 years I thought it was appropriate that I come to judge the West coast authenticity. This place is awesome. My friend had a Baja bowl that looked and smelled divine and I had the steak Gorgonzola salad, the meat portion was huge and the candied pecans were delicious. I might even bring my super judgmental west coast rude family here since I think even they would be pleased at how delicious the food was. We sat in a comfy booth and loved every bite of our meal, the balsamic vinaigrette was the perfect complement to the savory steak and sweet pecans. I can't wait to go back to the grotto

The onion strings fall apart easily and have to use a fork to eat them with or just greasy fingers! Not knowing how the inside looked before opening it was clean and fun to observe old features- ceiling and wood floors. I HATE the Club Lotto stuff at the table- and lotto machine- are they sponsors of the place? it really just diminishes the atmosphere. Nice to have the games at the table. You don't need lotto to add to the ambiance! Overall I would go back, but maybe order to go or get DoorDash. It appears they have a lot of beer on tap- but I don't drink. My husband had the 2 patty burger. It's the same as the kids- just 1 less patty. I would like to try the salad or chicken strips sometime.

It seems like this dish was not freshly made, but reheated, again. Piccolos was one of our favorite restaurants.

Especially that Salted Caramel Ooey Gooey Butter Cake!

I have visited this place several times now and always been impressed... until tonight…read more It was a Saturday night. It was 8pm, 2 hours before closing and an hour before the kitchen closed. We were promptly greeted and seated as always. We were then immediately greeted by the server, Austin, who made it very clear his mission was to get us in and out promptly. He immediately asks if we knew what we wanted to drink. Mind you we literally just sat down. I told him we would look at the menu but we'd like some bread and oil to start with. He came back for our drink order after just a minute or two and then immediately asked for our food order. Mind you we haven't even hit the 5-6 min mark yet. It was quite clear we were being rushed. So we hurried and gave him our food order. But because I was already perturbed, no drinks were ordered. Now mind you I almost always get a bottle or two of wine. (one of the main reasons we go there is the wine selection) Our server Austin returned after about five minutes with our food. Getting our food so quickly was a surprise. However, still no bread and oil so I reminded him. Which he admitted he forgot. The food was lukewarm at best and had no flavor. We waited for a few minutes for Austin to return so we could ask for salt and Pepper only for him "this time" to suddenly disappear. So I got up and asked the bartenders for salt and pepper. The food was bland and the serving size was half of what we usually get there. When Austin finally returned with the bread and oil, the bread was cold. No attempt at heating it or toasting it. It was literally a roll of French bread, cut into slices, and then some oil thrown in. We were hungry so we ate our dinners. Austin returned as soon as he saw we were done eating to take our plates and asked if we would like any desserts. I made a comment. I don't want any desserts if they taste like our dinner. He then grabbed our plates and walked away, staring at me the entire time. He then immediately brought our tab, which was $79 for two plates of half full pasta dishes, one iced tea and a cold French bread. I have been there several times before to where the service was outstanding, the food delicious, and the atmosphere great. But this was quite disheartening especially at being a Saturday night. I almost always order a bottle or two of wine plus an after dinner cocktail. Because of the way I was made to feel and how bad the food was. I decided not to stay and left almost immediately after my dinner. Especially since it was made so clear we weren't necessarily welcomed to stay. One thing I've always found kind of catchy about the place. Is they serve your water in old retired liquor glasses. Both glasses of water they brought still had the sticky residue left on them. Which was more of an agitation after the night we had. Again, overall, the previous experiences will allow me to go back again. But this experience needed to be heard.

We loved the different places to sit and it had lots of TV's for watching games. Our waiter started out pretty good but that's where it stopped. It took almost 30 minutes to get two burgers. No one bothered to refill our water or see if we needed another drink. Asked a few times right after our food arrived about how things were tasting but paid zero attention to the drinks. And then we continued to wait....gave up on any more drinks and finally went to the bar to get our ticket. The longer we waited the more disappointed we became. Now to be fair, our server was also the bartender. Not that the bar was really slammed.... Even so, you would think that the manager would come around and help. But he did not. And he knew this was our first time coming there. So at the end he asks what we thought. We said it was overall ok. The food tasted good but the services were lacking. He made an excuse and told us to come back again and they would take good care of us. First off, they won't remember us. And if you barely acknowledged the experience we had tonight, WHY would we come back??? I would give the food around 4 stars but the service a 2 and our overall experience a 3.
