    We happened to go on 1/2 off wine night. We ordered a bottle, and then my husband wanted one more glass of wine, so he asked the waiter what cabernets were available by the glass. The first one mentioned was $135 per glass. That was a surprise. The server did point that it would be 1/2 off that price. The carrot appetizer is truly just a giant plate of roasted carrots. I can see that as a shared side, but as an appetizer, not very appealing. Plusses: the bartender was excellent, the decor is pretty and valet parking is readily available.

    I found the restaurant on Opentable for my wife’s birthday celebration. We always like to try new places and this looked interesting and worth a try… I know, I took a big chance… I’m glad I did. The ambience is both vast and intimate at the same time. We were seated at a booth that felt private and very comfortable. Our food was delicious and we enjoyed all of it. Our server was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and took very good care of us. It’s a bit pricey but well worth it. We’ll be back…

    Another excellent dinner at A Chrystal Cove! Beautiful space, nice bar with innovative drinks. Try the Pecan Old Fashioned! Our party of six was seated promptly when we had finished our drinks, Waiter was friendly and attentive. Food was great! (One exception: one entre was not up to expectations - it was promptly taken off the bill...) An enjoyable time was had by all...!

    My friend and I celebrated our birthdays last night at A Crystal Cove for dinner. The tuna appetizer and chicken piccata were delicious. Our server Emmanuel was superb with his recommendations, kind personality and prompt service. He truly contributed to our celebration enjoyment.
