We went to Crave on Saturday night for a friend's birthday. The food was absolutely incredible. I started with the mussels, which were perfectly cooked and seasoned, and ordered the sea bass for my entree. Another member of our party also ordered the sea bass and we agreed it was the best we'd ever had. As another reviewed mentioned, it is crispy on the outside and moist inside. The honey butter glaze was just incredible. The sea bass came with grilled vegetables, which were a good contrast with the fish, and couscous, which I don't normally like but was well done by the chef. And speaking of the chef, Dave Martin came over to our table several times throughout the meal, including once to pour our wine. His hands-on approach is really impressive; it's obvious he really cares about creating a great experience for his guests. AND he comped us dessert. I would definitely go back to Crave. It wasn't incredibly busy at primetime on a Saturday night (I imagine because of the far West location), so I hope as word gets out more people decide to make the trek. I would hate to see this great restaurant fold.
Pros: Sea bass, mussels, pizza
Cons: It's near 12th Avenue.
