Love the 90s decor. The lamb and crab dip is well seasoned and a must have. Drinks are flavorful and strong.

The restaurant was out of alot of the food options, but we were not told until order came out. I ordered shrimp & grits; my plate has only sausage, tomatoes & scallions (they were very stingy on those items) The scenery was quiet and chill.

I recently dined at krave and found it to be a mixed experience. The food was truly exceptional. However, the service left much to be desired. Despite the restaurant not being overly crowded, we experienced slow service and continuously had to get the server attention when we need something. In summary, if you’re looking for a place with good food and don’t mind slow service, Krave is worth a visit. Just be prepared for a slower pace of service.

OMGGGGG, The food was AMAZING!!! I had the crab dip w/ pita chips and lamb chops. It was well cooked, and came out HOT! The owner came and checked in on us and gave us free shots. Definitely 100/10

Cute place in a great location, but the music was really thumping for a Sunday brunch. If that's your scene, that's great. They sat us upstairs by ourselves, which was also kind of odd, but allowed us to ask them to turn the music down. Food was very salty. The waiter was very nice and accommodating, but I have a feeling brunch just isn't their focus. Or brunch for folks above a certain age anyway ...

Would 100% order Cajun pasta to go in the future, however that wasn’t my meal I ordered. I had the stuffed chicken based on servers recommendation.. the piece chicken was tiny and extremely dry. Nice vibe, but would really only go back for drinks and maybe try the hookah.
