I think we are finally done here. We liked this place. Good food, good staff... horrifically undersized and far too busy to be passively and poorly managed at the hostess station. Make no mistake this is a fact. Good food and good people can be destroyed when the rest of the operation is a mess and the venue is wrong. This is their reality.
Including tonight (when we waited for over 1:20 min in near claustrophobic mayhem after being told the wait was :45 min before finally walking out without a table in sight) I can say that we have NOT gone as many times as we have specifically because we don’t want to engage in a cage match to get a table only to pay a healthy premium for food and drink.
Today was was the braking point. The hostess says :45 to everyone who entered the door (we were trapped inches from her jammed in like sardines) and the tables themselves are poorly organized and inadequate. They have no idea what the turn rate is and neither will you. They have a hostess station where tables should be and a moronic barrel high top that serves zero purpose other than to occupy real estate that they desperately need for more seating. Your closet likely would feel larger and be more functional.
Skip it. There is good food everywhere. Unless you want to eat on a Wednesday at 4:30 or 30 min prior to close then it’s not good enough to tolerate the insanity. Bottom line - proximity is an illusion of you can never get a table. Drive to better dinning and save yourself the hassle. If this restaurant was anywhere other than in a vacuum of options it would have long ago collapsed under the weight of its...
Read moreFrom the moment we sat down, our experience was elevated entirely by our incredible server, Lauren. Dining out can be hit or miss these days, but this was nothing short of exceptional — and it was because of her warmth, professionalism, and instinctive attention to detail.
Lauren struck the perfect balance between friendly and respectful, making us feel genuinely welcome without ever hovering. They knew the menu inside and out, offering thoughtful suggestions. Her timing was impeccable — drinks arrived promptly, plates were cleared seamlessly, and always seemed to appear just when we needed something, without us ever having to ask.
What really stood out was the above and beyond effort and enjoyment of making sure we had a fantastic experience. When one of our guests mentioned a dietary restriction in passing, Lauren not only confirmed ingredient details with the kitchen but also returned with alternate recommendations, clearly going out of their way to ensure a safe and enjoyable meal. It felt like we were being taken care of by someone who truly cared — and in today’s fast-paced dining world, that level of service is rare and priceless.
We left not only full and happy but genuinely impressed. If you’re lucky enough to land a table in their section, trust me — you’re in for a top-tier experience. We dined here just under 2 weeks ago and telling friends they must go is how I remembered to go back and leave a review! We look forward to...
Read moreMy husband's investment club ate at Crumb & Spigot tonight. In talking about the menu, several of the guys talked up the wood fire pizzas. This was the first time we had been to Crumb & Spigot and I have been longing to find a restaurant that makes an awesome Margarita Pizza. My kids decided to have Dominos tonight so I asked my husband to being me a Marinara pizza home because the guys were talking it up so much. He came home telling me how the restaurant was small, quaint, and his waiter was wonderful. He was pretty excited thinking I was going to like the pizza and said it was pretty close to my idea of a good Margarita Pizza. He had 2 slices at the restaurant. Unfortunately, we recently had our 1st case of Covid and he apparently doesn't have any sense of taste??? I grabbed a slice and microwaved it and told him it was awesome if you don't mind burnt. I showed him the bottom and he was so shocked that he looked at the bottom of the remaining slices and apologized that he didn't know how he didn't notice blackened pizza. This seems like it could be a decent pizza if you can get past the blackened bottom and the lack of ingredients - Some slices had mozzarella slices, some did not. Some slices had basil, some did not. Title on the menu needs to be changed to Blackened Marinara!! Such a...
