    My birthday dinner was excellent! Filet au poivre, scalloped potatoes and creamed spinach - perfect! Dianne is a wonderful server, friendly and helpful. I couldn’t ask for more. My husband enjoyed his crab cakes as well, and he is very picky. If you haven’t been to Crane’s you really need to go.

    I have been going to Crain's for many years. It's one of our favorites on the island. It's perfect when celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. Get your reservation in early because the smaller place can fill up quickly. I like the steaks and my wife likes the shrimp & grits. She proclaims it's the best in the country.

    We went for Valentine's dinner to Cranes. Even though it was a very busy night, the waitress was appropriately attentive. The waitress kept my water glass filled. The scallops were perfectly cooked. The shrimp in the shrimp and grits were tender and delicious.
