I have dined at Crave four times. Pretty average choices for vegetarians. Very inconsistent responses when asked about accommodations to their menu for vegetarians. Last night the manager told me that being a vegetarian was a personal choice on my part and that basically I needed to accept the few choices they had, that he made money from selling meat, not vegetables. I guess he didn't notice the 12 dollar martini I was drinking.
I was there with Sally so I tried the same things. The vegan options are few, but what they have is good. The veggie sushi roll is amazing. And the hummus appetizer has a whole roasted garlic bulb and olive spread and is delicious. I also had a pomegranate mojito that was heaven. It might not be the place to go if you are vegan and starving, but if you want some drinks and some apps and are in the area, it’s a great little spot.
I have never had such an amazing vegetarian sushi roll in my life!!! It was *so* fresh. It's not listed on their dinner menu, but it is on their sushi menu which I had to ask for. This roll is worth going to the suburbs for.
I also had the pita & spreads listed on the appetizer portion of the menu. This was also extremely delicious.
We wanted to order the spring rolls - which appear to be vegan on the menu, but *gasp* they contain shrimp. Thankfully, our server alerted us. Hopefully they will change their menu - for vegetarians, vegans, and those with allergies.
I can't wait to go back here. Even though there are few vegan options, what they do have will make your taste buds dance!
I am a frequent visitor of Crave. I was strictly veg for 5 years before I started adding fish and then only rarely other meats that are raised locally and humanely. In any case, while Crave's menu doesn't out-right mark things as vegetarian, almost anything on their menu can be made as such. There is this pasta there that I LOVE...I forget what its called but on the menu it has sausage and peas in it. I sub out the sausage for some portabella mushrooms...it is AMAZING. Anyway, they are always accommodating any time I feel like making some creative changes to make my meals meat-free :) All you have to do is ask! Plus, the cocktails and wines are superb.
