Yummy but... – We have been going to Criallos for a couple of years (before it "caught on"). We love the food, and tolerated the bar, which has never been great . None of the bartenders makes a good mixed drink (martinis etc). The last 3 times we have run into unpleasant bar staff who seem incapable of managing a crowd without getting huffy. I think success may be their down fall. I know lots of "regulars" who have stopped going since it has become popular. The last time I ordered a cosmo, which was horrible. After paying $9... read more

Not impressed – My boyfriend and I tried this Friday night because of the Citysearch recommendations. I started with a salad which was good but so is Chili's. Then I had Trieste which was a medley of Shrimp, Scallops, and Lobster. Both the lobster and shrimp were over cooked. The angel hair pasta was simple with loads of butter and garlic. The fresh vegetables were not fresh they tasted like they came out of a bag. My boyfriend had Ahi Tuna which gave him a stomach ache. We have eaten at a lot of great restaurants in town bu... read more

A secret, not for long. – When my friends and I walked in we noticed the fans, which are hand made and belt driven old timey style. The fans were the first of many delightful suprises. The atmosphere is soothing, especially, with the live music, but more importantly every food presentation was a masterpeice design in culinary expression. Adam had the Angus Filet, Heather had the Atlantic Halibut and I had the wild Salmon, all were spectacular. When Chef Red Munson visited the table he explained the EuroAsian cuisine, patente... read more

great place to find out about – crab cakes, calamara, and the fish dish I had were outstanding. One of the best places I have been in a long while. A good 10+ for me.

Food Presentation, Ambiance, Value, Wow – Gee, tucked away from the main stream chains, find this jewel and you will return. Grand Piano nightly, jazz, intimate, classy, romantic, .... and the FOOD, WOW...... I will return and return again, as I unwind in this cozy, atmosphere. An expereinced, well traveled chef is behind these creations.. Go............

Great date spot! – I don't know what's better here - the food, the ambiance, the service or the live music (grand piano). I've eaten at Criallo's several times now ... the food is beautifully presented and consistent each time. I highly, highly recommend Criallo's as a date spot because it is private and not anything like the rest of the chain restaurants in Cool Springs. You can actually hear the other persson talk and enjoy a good bottle of wine. Ten plus rating from me!!

time to re-visit--again and again – I originally visited Criallos in late 2002, early 2003 - at that time it was a nice restaraunt. We visitied again in late summer of 2004...they have evolved. While I would not classify my earlier visits as negative, the "new" Criallos is much improved. The bar is wonderful, the service impeccable and the food well prepared and presented. It has now become a weekly sit at the bar, relax with a drink and then have dinner. They also have a light jazz ensemble 4+ nights a week that is very nic... read more
