Sometimes it feels like I want to keep a place all to myself, this is one of those places. However, this post is only fair since the reason I went was because of reviews read and suggestions received. Bar Crudo is simply great. Its small and attractive with the tiny open kitchen right in front of you as you walk through the door. There are two bar seating areas on the first floor, one in the front window and one that partially surrounds the kitchen. There is also a small seating area upstairs, though I haven?t ventured up there as I have opted for the bar seating area. The feel of this place is great, the staff is ultra friendly and they offer great suggestions on both food and wine. This is a raw bar and fish house. The menu is set up for cold and hot plates, all of which are ideal for sharing, which is really the way to eat these days. The staff told me that the menu changes frequently though a few of their specialties stay on the menu. We tried all 8 of the cold plates which offer 3-5 pieces of various fish, prepared in interesting, unique and tasty ways. Although a raw bar, this isn?t sushi and many items are cooked or seared?.a fun way to try fish in many different preparations.
Pros: open kitchen and close proximity adds to the fun of this place. great beer list.
Cons: not for people who are afraid of a crowded place
