Nicely greeted to be seated immediately. Waitress was very accommodating and helpful explaining menu. Order was taken with modification and delivered perfectly with accommodation. Seafood enchiladas were great; especially since it was filled with local seafood. So yummy. My friend ordered the veal cutlets and I will definitely order that next time. Panneed and fried to perfection. Enjoyed the ambiance and service. Will definitely go back.

My fiancée and myself stopped in for brunch on a Saturday. I got the stuffed French toast with berries. It was phenomenal and not too sweet! My fiancée got the Docville pasta (not pictured) it was delicious as well. The service was great. She checked on us several times even though they were really busy. The restaurant is a great option for brunch which is rare in the parish as well as a nice dinner. They have daily specials that fuse international with Cajun/creole. Highly recommend this place if you are ever down the road!

Wow! What a find thanks to the Hotel staff! A worker who also was staying at the same hotel said I had to try it! Not disappointing at all. Short staffed but not a problem as the manager coached her team to success. Everyone was flying around helping with all diners! I ordered an ice cold beer to start and ordered one of the pick your fish dishes - choice of three fish (redfish, mahi, or red snapper) prepared three different ways. Thai, Creola or St Catherine! I went with the redfish creola! The picture says it all! Perfectly seasoned and cooked! Lump crabmeat and tomato on top with a butter sauce. The side of fries and green beans were perfect! The green bean cook was something else with garlic to boot! A great compliment to the dish! The restaurant is small but nicely decorated and a lot of fun. Watching the staff interact with the local clients was something else like family! If my work returns me back I will be there again!!

The Brunch at Crave is excellent. Chad has another winning combination of excellent food with a fun and friendly atmosphere for his customers. The owner/Chef is always at his restaurant and he is working alongside his staff, visiting with customers and keeping things going perfectly. He is so very dedicated to his business, staff, customers, family and customers. The Brunch menu is soooo yummy and versatile. So far we've been every Sunday and plan to try everything on the menu. I'm a m pancake girl and the strawberry and Blueberry pancakes are so light, fluffy and delicious with a strawberry or Blueberry compote and sprinkled with powered sugar and a dollop of homemade whip cream with a sprig of mint. Yummmm. I cannot wait for next Sunday to come because I'm CRAVING !!!!!!!

The Cuban was very dry needed more mustard and the pork should be less dried out. The alligator bombs are very rich in flavor. Crunchy outside, but needed something to cut through that rich flavor. The border town salad is great. If I were to say anything just that the meat chunks could be bigger. The seared tuna was an amazing. Melts in your mouth, but a slight fishy flavor. Service was great, when we went it was very slow so that made it easier. The ambiance was nice well decorated also.

I got the shrimp and grits, which needed to be warmed up a little more but the taste made up for it all! It wasn't spice but had so much seasoning, the corn grits were cooked to the perfect texture. The shrimp were cooked just right also. Everything about this dish was top notch. I do think the serving could have been a little bigger but still amazing. I ordered a side of coconut rice and it was also delicious. Cooked perfectly, great subtle sweet coconut taste and I just added a pinch of salt to mine. My husband got the Cancun burger and loved it, he said it was one of the best burgers he's ever had. It was cooked medium as requested, seasoned well and the sauce that was on it really pulled it together. Hannah was our server and was so sweet and personable. Restaurant was clean and well kept. They had great weekend specials! We will definitely be back

This is a surprising gem in St. Bernard Parish. It has some typical dishes, like burgers and fried seafood. It has some international dishes, like quesadillas and Cuban sandwiches. And it has some interesting fusion dishes, like the "Sushiritto" and Cajun edamame. I've eaten here a couple times now and haven't had a bad dish. The portion sizes are maybe a bit smaller than other dining options in Da Parish, but I still usually have a small to-go box at the end.
