    Such a wonderful meal! The restaurant itself is so vibey, feels like an intimate lounge or study but it’s lively and fun with their DJ playing great music all night long. My friends and I came for a girls night / birthday dinner and they made us feel so special! Food was amazing and our server Hannah was so kind and personable. Highly recommend and will be back!

    A Crystal Cove did a refresh on the menu but took out too many favorites and brought in som expensive and not that great items. Hope they dial it in and work on improving new items and bring back some of the favorites. Service and ambience are great and still some good items but might give them a month or so to improve before we go back.

    The Pot Pie is unbelievable, so good! Light flaky dome of puff pastry covers the entire dish., wish I took a photo! Service and music were great. My son had the skirt steak with Ranchero. The steak was cooked perfectly, he loved it, however, the potatoes needed salt/seasoning bad, they were super bland. My last visit to A, I was with colleagues, we ordered the whipped feta appetizer.. get it! It’s so good. I’ve been to A Crystal Cove many times. Always a great experience, good food and we loved the live music they hosted last week. We’ll be back!

    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.
