The Crane - (Near St. Petersburg, FL)

5 /5 Cara Zuraski: Instantly captured by the aesthetic and decor of this place when we passed by in the car so we parked and went in. Friendly staff. Service was a little slow. And the drinks were mid but I just had a rosé and my husband had a gin and tonic. The lobster was beautifully cooked, asparagus was perfect. Just needed a little salt. And the risotto (not pictured) was cheesy, creamy and tangy. Lovely. We also shared the spring rolls which were piping hot. The place is well designed with high quality furnishings. It feels open and expensive. Dinner for 3 with 3 drinks, 2 apps, 3 meals and 2 desserts = $200 before tip.

3 /5 Charles Drake: We ate here last night and were able to walk right in and get a table which was nice. The hostess didn’t have much of a personality but that’s not too big of a deal. It’s a nice looking atmosphere but it is very loud so it could be hard to hear for some people. Our waitress was very nice and helpful but it would have been nice if she could have come by the table a little more. We had to look for her a couple of times. It did take almost a 45 minutes for our food to come out and my wife’s steak was dry and not cooked the way she wanted. She asked for medium rare which isn’t really that hard to cook. My scallops were a little chewy as well. The drinks were really good so I will give them that. For some reason the men’s bathroom was closed so that made it harder for when people had to go. We will most likely not be going back anytime soon.

5 /5 Dave Cope: Really enjoyed dinner at this restaurant. I have eaten at their other sister restaurants and all of them have been great. The food of this restaurant was super fresh with really deep flavor profiles. Daniel was my server and he was super friendly and attentive. I will definitely eat here again. There were so many yummy things on the menu.

5 /5 Isabel Massi: Lisa was our server and she was fantastic!!! She has the best personality and was wonderful! She made recommendations and made sure our drinks were always full. The food was delicious!! We had the seafood dumplings and lobster spring rolls to start and both were delicious! For entrees I had the prawn risotto and my husband had the tomahawk special. The tomahawk was absolutely delicious! I ate more of that than I did my prawns and risotto. Highly recommend for dinner! The restaurant is beautiful also.

5 /5 komata22: Great date night dinner at The Crane. Started with wagyu and seafood lover dumplings. Also, Calamari. They all came with different dipping sauces. Entree was Flounder with crab stuffing. Everything tasted delicious. Excellent service from Rachel, very nice and friendly. Atmosphere was upscale but relaxed. They also have drink and food specials for Happy Hour. Highly recommend!
