This was my first visit and upon arrival I was charmed by the setting. It’s a small dining room and the menu is fun + creative. My review of the food is split because the Feta Dip Shareable was absolutely fantastic. I wish I took a picture - the cucumber is perfectly thin and the dip is so delicious. They seem to be known for their Sweet Potato Fries with marshmallow sauce, which is a fun interpretation. Sadly my Bibb Lettuce Salad was not as good; most of the lettuce in my bowl was wilted or brown. I dove into the Tuna then noticed it was more pink and fishy than I realized. $13 for the salad plus $9 for the Tuna add-on - all in all $50 including tip without an alcoholic beverage. Their prices are definitely competitive for a city but I would be cautious to order a salad if I returned.

I was needing a bar after caring for someone in ICU for a week. I wanted somewhere I could walk to and Cincinnati st was the closest to the hospital I could find. It’s been about 21 years since I lived in El Paso and when I saw Crave walking up Cincinnati,because everything below was not looking good, I thought it would have similarity to the ones from Los Angeles. Thankfully not, because those ones have menus that are novels. No, I was greeted immediately by myself because there is a large mirror panel at the entrance. So you can imagine I was shocked because I had been crying all morning. But as I took a few steps in I was greeted by a friendly staff. Since it was just me I sat at the bar. Thomas was the bartender and waited on me as well. He did a great job and was attentive to me. I had a beer and ordered the whole hog burger with fries. It’s definitely been the best burger I’ve had since I’ve been here and the shoe string French fries were really amazing. The seasoning on the fries was like Cajun with a zestyness to them. Since I was at the bar I could see all the food coming out of the kitchen and they all looked really nice. I definitely have to try more of their menu. The atmosphere was great, I could hear myself think.
