Crave - Akron

Afternoon lunch out with my mother and we loved it. The atmosphere was great, customer service was great, and the food was delicious. We had the crab cake appetizer,I had short rib dinner, and She had the duck confit dinner. Each dish was beautifully plated, and had a great balance of flavors and textures in them.

CRAVE! I love you! Located right by Lock 3, there's ample free parking available at garages nearby. My experience at Crave a few weeks ago was un bee leave uh bull! I am going to daydream about this meal until I get a chance to go back. From start to finish it was better than I could possibly put into words I haven't been there in 6 years and now being vegan, was excited to see what they had. I tried every vegan item and here's the low down: VEGAN CHICKEN APPLE BRATWURST Creole Mustard, Peppers Onions, Vegan Cheddar on a Hoagie MMMMM well, if it means anything, I placed an order for creole mustard after trying this. Holy cow, this was incredible. So flavorful, I could've eaten three. VEGAN PAU'E Layered Potato. Shitake Mushroom. Cippolini Onion. Asparagus Pea Sauce. Truffle Oil. Vegan Parmesan. Umm... What. Hahaha. This was unbelievable. At this point my jaw was on the floor.

Pretty cool place. Service was a bit slow, but I give them a pass since they were full to capacity on a Thursday! Also we were a party of 8. Not too many vegetarian/vegan dinner options but had 2 to get by. Drinks were creative and generous with the pour. Our server was personable and attentive. We tipped over the already included tip for a lg party bc our server was amazing.

This is the first time I have been since the moved to Main Street. The decor was top notch but that was unfortunately the best part of the experience. It was obvious that a lot of the staff was new and they had not learned to work together yet. My daughter had a pork chop, which was considerably undercooked. See photo. I had the Mac and cheese, which tasted good, but every so often on of the noodles would be very cold. It happens about 6 times. I have had good experiences i the past there, but I will have to take some time before I head back. I am hoping they will pull it together.

As I sat in the restroom I recognized the music. It was from the original Sims pc version, the music when you went into one of the stores. Am I in the Sims right now? I asked myself, questioning the universe and wondering if we really are living in a computer simulation. The ceiling is interesting and there's a neat ambiance about the place. Food was good.
