Crave Kitchen is our go to place for awesome food when we want to eat out with friends in a classy atmosphere without going all the way downtown. We've been fortunate enough to have Matt as our server for two or three trips in a row now. He's fabulous and attentive. The restaurant is immaculately kept and ALL of the staff is friendly and accommodating. The bar area is beautiful and looks like a great place to hang out for happy hour on any given day. I can't say enough good things about CRAVE and it has been a staple in the Long Grove area off the Isle of Palms connector. Check them out!!!

We've dined at Crave many times and usually enjoy everything, but the food wasn't as good as on previous visits. Everyone is very friendly, and the service was good.

Shannon greeted our party and was our server . She was friendly and knowledgeable about anything we asked for , she was prompt and made our experience delightful . The food and drink’s were delicious and the atmosphere was warm and relaxed. It was my mother’s birthday and the cookie cake with ice cream was a great treat . We will be back when the weather is warmer so we can dine outside .

Our first visit to Crave…Joel was our server. His service was exceptional. We never felt rushed. He offered suggestions which were spot on. We had to try the award winning Mac and cheese. Yes, it was the best we’d ever had. My husband enjoyed the bolognese. I tried the grapefruit martini drink special. It was filled to the very top of the glass, which I appreciate and it was quite delicious.
