Crave Menu

Crave Restaurant Review:

About the restaurant: After browsing through Tiffany and Crate & Barrel, smart Galleria shoppers take refuge at Crave. Design-wise it's got a little bit of everything: a showy demonstration kitchen, a watch-them-work sushi bar, a walk-through wine vault, a see-and-be-seen bar and a patio so appealingly landscaped and outfitted that one barely notices it overlooks a shopping mall parking lot.

Food: The menu is similarly designed to appeal to every craving (get it?). Because its customer base consists primarily of women, the kitchen knows how to creatively toss a salad, and while there are few surprises among the entrées---rotisserie chicken, grilled tuna, slow-braised short ribs---all are prepared with finesse. Skip the so-so pizzas but don't overlook the sushi, especially the value-oriented platters designed for sharing. Sunday's à la carte brunch is a highlight, with fruit-stuffed pancakes, super-gooey, glazed cinnamon rolls, a fine ham-spinach quiche and a crab-asparagus omelet that could easily satisfy two.
