    the service was incredible, our server was so attentive, intuitive and incredible. We had birthday celebrations to celebrate and it was a lovely celebration. It was pretty loud in the restaurant - but that was the only downside and still manageable.

    Excellent friendly service bu our server (Lexus — her actual name, not just a car brand). The fish (trout and 2 different forms of salmon) in our party members’ orders was done to perfection and the sides were equally excellent. The beet salad and salmon tartare starters were wonderful. More noisy than usual because of large, festive holiday season groups having a great time even on a Wednesday night.

    Dined with a group of old friends for a much-needed get together and had a fantastic experience! Our server Jorge was excellent and set the tone for a great evening. He was attentive, explained the menu really well and was just a fantastic young man overall! Beautiful and amazingly delicious food, great ambience, and stellar hospitality. This was one of the best dining experiences we have had post-Covid and although many restaurants are still struggling with staffing shortages, etc., you are 100% nailing it! Thanks for a wonderful night!

    Krasi delivers a bustling, upscale Mediterranean dining experience with standout Greek dishes and attentive service in a slightly cramped setting. Although my table by the door felt drafty and some offerings, like the octopus, seemed pricey for their portions, the tableside tzatziki preparation and especially the flavorful, filling lamb made it worthwhile. The knowledgeable staff’s thoughtful wine recommendations and the overall quality of ingredients make Krasi an ideal choice for special occasions or a memorable date night.

    This was an overall great experience. Service and food were great and the seating comfortable. When we arrived we were struck by the very high noise level which sometimes makes it hard for a conversation. It was pretty crowded for a Wednesday evening. All the staff was very friendly, cheerful and efficient. Thank you!
