Great food, so-so service – We went to Crush on a Sunday night with friends. It was a group of four adults and one child. I must say that the juxtaposition between the traditional vibe of the house and the very very modern vibe of the furnishings still has me wondering. Not sure about the white, plastic chairs and white formica tables. A bit cold. That being said the food is very good. We started off with the sweetbread app. They are wrapped in chicken skin and fried. Not for the calorie adverse but they were delish. The two... read more
Good - But Service Is Pretentious... – The food was great, except for the raw fois gras. I know its supposed to be served rare - but not raw. Other than that the meal was wonderful, especially the to-die-for short ribs. But the service, while attentive, was really pretentious. The guy kept calling me Madame. Where are we - Paris? It was so over the top my mom and I started giggling at one point. True, I am 43 and probably had a good 10 years on the waiter, but Madame? It was too much. The wine steward comes over in jeans and... read more
Mixed Review--good, but not great – Parking is awkward in this "edgy" part of Madison Ave & 23rd. The restaurant is a house and garden--whose entrance is very inviting. Unfortunately, the front door opens smack-dab in the middle of kitchen noise, bar noise, and waiters weaving through you with nicely plated dishes. The word reservation should be taken loosely here, since chances are your table will not be ready when you arrive and you'll have to wait. If they offer you to dine at the bar, stay clear of the traffic and draft ... read more
A well hidden gem – After a friend told me about the food at an event that the chef catered, I had to try it. My wife and I made reservations and when we got there, we were warmly greeted and promptly seated. We ordered the fois gras for an appetizer, and WOW, I've not had better in my life. The portion was more than i expected and was easy to share and feel satisfied. My wife ordered the scallops, and i ordered the duck breast, both came out in perfect timing after we finished up the appetizer. The scallops were top notch, ... read more
Just Okay..... – Went there because of the reputation. My expectations were high, I will admit. I was disappointed with the a food (average), cheap decor, noise level and difficult parking. Best thing about the place is the attitude of the wait staff. There are much better restaurants in Seattle that command these high prices.
Good, but not great. – We went there about few days ago for our 6 yr anniversary... i have heard great things but we left somewhat disappointed with the food. When I arrived (reservations for 6:15) - I was told that since i was 15 minutes late, that the next guests would arrive at 8:15, but that i should have plenty of time, she just wanted to let me know. Very odd to greet a guest that way I thought. What was so strange was that there were SO many empty tables all night at least on the first floor. For a friday night, It fe... read more
Couldn't even get seated – I ate here before and it was fantastic. Unfortunately this time we couldn't even get seated for our reservation. And either could the big crowd gathered at the door with many asking about their table situations. The snobby host didn't do a good job and it took forever to get our drinks so we just left. I would suggest going on a weekday.
Service with a Middle Finger!! – Well after all the stories about how great Crush was suppose to be I decided to give it a go. In fact, I decided to have my girlfriends birthday dinner there. Expecting that it would be a great atmosphere, and of course great food. However, I was completely let down! After waiting around almost 30min past our reservation time, and then being met with extremely lack luster service. Our server treated us like we weren?t good enough to be at Crush (which was nice seeing as that I spent $200 + at... read more
Great all round – This is probably the only restaurant I have ever eaten in that every dish was a pleasant surprise. Even those items I tried at others urging (fried anchovies) were superb. I am puzzled by a previous poster's remarks about uneven dishes and steep prices. Compared to other places touted in Seattle this was a bargain. Extremely pleasant staff, great building (except for parking) wonderful wines, and hardy entrees. Don't miss this place if you are visiting Seattle. You can't walk there from downtown, but it is ... read more
