                                                          The Krebs is a beautiful restaurant, great staff that's very attentive. Varied and interesting menu. But the kitchen service was terribly slow on a not so busy day. Also the food was good, but not outstanding.

                                                          Great food, ambiance and love the menu. We’ve been here several times now and one peculiarity, your seated and it takes 10 to 15 minutes to get water and have your drink order taken. The restaurant wasn’t full so it’s strange to have it occur during multiple visits.
