Food is good (however the Myrtle Beach location is much better). Bartenders are pretty good too. The servers you can tell have not been trained very well. Owner is the most unprofessional person I have met in my entire life. Rude and just truly not a good person. It’s sad because he gives the Crave brand a bad name. Has treated me with disrespect on multiple occasions- cussed me out over the phone as well. Him and his wife sit at the end of the bar and speak to no one there- even the regulars. Staff has said that they are not very nice people and don’t treat them well either. You get a completely different experience at the restaurant in Myrtle- support them. They have good food AND good service- owners are top notch at that location and truly care and take care of their guests. Will not be giving any more money to this location.

IN RESPONSE TO OWNER’S RESPONSE: Thank you for reserving me a spot “from the outside looking in”, however I will be supporting the Myrtle Beach location instead of yours now. I will also be making sure that anyone who asks for recommendations for places in the area now knows the way you treat and talk to your guests. I am not the only person who has had this experience with you. And if anyone reading this review needs the honest truth about this owner- ask the servers who have left this location and moved to the other one due to the owner’s treatment of them in the workplace. I have personally witnessed so many occasions where professionalism is not upheld. Terrible representation of the Craven brand. You should learn a thing or two about hospitality from the Myrtle...

I brought my friend here for a girl's day out and to celebrate her birthday! We couldn't decide so ordered two lemon drop martinis, calamari, tomatoes & mozzarella to start. OMG! Everything was soooo yum! This was actually a month or so ago. Ive been meaning to get around to writing this review as i plan on bringing my hubby back. Our waiter was great! He was attentive but not over the top. He didn't waste a trip and kept our table tidy and drinks filled. We had let him know we took an Uber and that we were celebrating. I believe his name was Hunter. Then we ordered our main dishes. I had the chicken marsala and she had the margarita pizza. Both came with a side salad. Our food was delicious, fresh and hot! We both were very pleased. I thought the price for what you got was very reasonable. A salad with pizza is a meal by itself! Then my friend went to the restroom and the waiter was able to suggest dessert. I ordered 3 since I wasn't sure what she would like. I gave him the candle and in about 10 minutes he brought back all 3 desserts with a lite candle and helped sing Happy Birthday. We got the cheesecake, tiramasu, and the chocolate cake. Yum and yum! We couldn't finish everything so to go boxes we received. A manager also stopped by our table while we were there to ask how things were. I forgot to mention that the sautéed spinach that came with my chicken marsala was soooo good too. It was seasonEd perfectly. I will be bringing my hubby here for Fathers Day. Can't wait! Food was delicious and everyone...
