    Kudos to The Crumb! What a lovely lunch we had. Our server Shannon was well versed in all the menu items and their ingredients. Food came out in a timely manor and was incredibly delicious. Lots of different flavors from all around the globe. I will definitely be coming back and love supporting a women owned business.

    We booked a reservation for two on a Friday night for our anniversary. We had passed by the restaurant for years and finally decided to try! Shelia at the hostess booth was warm and welcoming and got us seated at a cozy table away from everyone for our romantic evening. Delia, our server, took exceptional care of us. She offered very helpful insight to our order to make sure we were ordering things that complimented one another and helped so we didn’t order too much! Food was so nostalgic and good, everything we ordered was perfect. They were even sweet enough to bring us out a small dessert plate and two glasses of bubbly for our special night. We can’t wait to come back with friends !
