It happened to be Sandusky’s Restaurant Week and the offerings were varied and delicious! The wine list is voluminous and we found a bottle to take home, the craft cocktails were delicious. My wife had the halibut and I had the duck. So good. Our server Krista was a delight. Highly recommend for every aspect. Food, service, ambience, cleanliness. Everything just clicked. Just lived it

I chose the halibut and butternut risotto special and my husband had the ribeye. We also enjoyed the sangria, beer, and a sushi appetizer. The bar areas were both full and there was a nice vibe throughout the restaurant. This was our first but will not be our last time enjoying delicious food and drink at Crush.

They seated us in a nice cozy/private spot which, on most days, would have been nice but it was cold out and since there were walls of windows next to us, despite their providing a space heater, it was chilly. Our toes were even cold. That was really the only downside.
