    Well intended servers who were clearly too busy to adequately attend to our table.

    Great vibe for dinner. Free Photo Booth is a cute idea and the dJ starting at 8:00pm adds a nice energy to the place.

    Had an early reservation for 4 and we were sat at a table near the fireplace and bar. Table was too small for 4 people having dinner. Chairs were on rollers, very low to the table and sunk back. Chairs are not suited for eating, and seem suited for having a drink and maybe appetizers. Food was good, but negated by uncomfortable seating arrangement.

    We had an amazing birthday dinner at A Crystal Cove! The energetic and lux vibe was perfect for the occasion, and the service was outstanding! Rachel**, our server, was fantastic—super friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. **Jason**, the sommelier, was a wine genius and picked out the perfect wines for each course. Everything from the food to the service was incredible, and it made for a truly special night. Can’t wait to come back!

    Celebrated my friends birthday at A Crystal Cove for lunch . We shared the duck liver pate served with huckleberry jam , then 4oz of the Wagyu A-5 , perfect with a side of the best french fries around . Bubbles paired nicely with our "lite" lunch. Staci took care of us, she perfectly timed everything. All items are available for dinner. Perfect starters. A beautiful restaurant . Thank you Staci for your A-mazing service Thank you Jordan for your hospitality. B.C.
