   So glad we found this wonderful dining experience. The entire staff and owner were kind, professional and engaging. The dining and bar environment exude warmth and the decor is quieting and inviting to the eye. The cuisine was delicious and presentation was pleasing as well. Whether cocktails and apps or a full dining experience, this will now be one of our frequent stops especially is the Fall and Winter months.

   Our meals were incredible! I had Chicken Piccata and my boyfriend had the short ribs! They were both cooked to perfection. Our server Janice was amazing, we truly enjoyed ourselves! The only downside? My guy put my to go on his side and we forgot it! I’m so bummed not to have my leftover Picatta for tomorrow!

   We have eaten at CR’s several times. Tonight’s dinner was not as good as other dinners. My fish was dry, it tasted over cooked. My husband ordered short ribs and mentioned they were dry not moist. Our server Patrick was very good and attentive. Unfortunately, dinner was not as delicious as what we had experienced in the past. CR’s is a nice restaurant that we will dine at again. I am hoping this was just an off night.

   Absolutely wonderful evening. Our server Autumn was top notch and knew when to appear. I wouldn’t change anything about the evening.

   We have been to CR's on 2 prior occasions with good experiences. I even wrote a great review once. Unfortunately last night was extremely disappointing and I am not sure we will ever go back. We went to celebrate a milestone birthday, and in the reservation notes to the restaurant conveyed as such, requesting a nice table in a quiet corner. The host did not even acknowledge the request or occasion, and attempted to walk us to a tiny table jammed in a spot close to many parties blocking the walking late around the room. They had the back section of the dining room closed, probably to save heat and keep everyone closer to the servers and kitchen, and that they did, herding everyone together like cattle. We redirected the host to the table we want and she took us there. The server arrives, pleasant and professional, we place our order. The Caesar salad took an unusual long amount of time to arrive, but fortunately was the best part of the meal. We finished that and waited again for a very long time, our entrees arrive, both were cold on arrival (vegetables, protein, starch). I had the Lamb, which although was cold, at least was not overcooked and it was seasoned well, but the rest of the items on the plate were drowned in salt - the coos coos covered in the saltiest black olives (which tasted like they came from a jar) and the sauce splashed around the lamb and plate. I woke up this morning feeling dehydrated from all the salt. As I said the plate and everything on it were cold. My wife had the Beef Tenderloin which came with mashed potatoes and green beans, all of it very cold. Also disappointing, her cut of beef was very chewy and poor grade quality which should never occur with tenderloin. Finally the dessert, the apple cranberry crisp, which was pretty good but unfortunately had a scoop of Richardson's ice cream on it. If you aren't going to make your own, at least buy something with quality ingredients-Richardson's is loaded with corn syrup.

   The salmon I had was absolutely perfectly fine. Nice crisp skin and moist throughout. The spinach side was similarly cooked to just the right consistency. They were busy too so I was impressed by the speed and quality of the meal service.

   I don't think anything can match this for festiveness and tastiness--such a lovely place to bring a family celebration, and it's been decorated just beautifully for this Christmas and New Year! There's food to please everyone and we are always treated thoughtfully and kindly by the staff. We were glad to be seated further back in the restaurant early in our dinner--the live music is a terrific tradition, but nearer the bar it can make things a bit challenging for conversation.

    CR’s again exceeded expectations. From the staff’s warm welcome, to our prompt/knowledgeable/polite server Nolan, the fresh food quality, the presentation of each dish, to Chuck himself welcoming us back and taking time to chat with us during and after dinner, as well as surprising us with some appetizers, all made for an exceptional dining experience. We drove an hour and a half and it was well worth it! Don’t miss out on this gem of an establishment!
