We went during Hel-a-dazzle so it was decked out for Christmas. So fun! Our meals were delicious - ham & pear crisp sandwich and peanut butter double smashed burger. We also shared the peanut butter mallow cup for dessert. Yum! Our waiter was excellent - answering our questions and sharing his menu knowledge so well.

I've had several positive experiences at Crasqui. Free on-site parking is a gamechanger considering its proximity to downtown. The bar is a great place to settle for a cozy cocktail - I would highly recommend trying some of the imported rums. It's also a great place to celebrate milestones with loved ones. The elevated, authentic cuisine nourishes the soul, and the staff is welcoming and unpretentious.
