Oh and did I mention the lively, cute decor? Staff were super friendly and knowledgable also :) Recommended!
Definitely going to come back for happy hour. A great spot on divis!
Our waiter was rude and slow.
So at the end of the service we weren’t happy automatic 20% tip was included.
We were gonna pay like 10% after $411 total.
The restaurant manager kept insisting it’s a normal to add 20% automatic tips even though we were only 4 people.
We explained to the manager the server was kind of rude and service was slow, after that she agreed to take 20% charge out of our tab. We left 20$ tip (about 5%) but the waiter harassed us to the street. Had a horrible experience and ruined double date that night. I just found out the restaurant still charged my card 20% tip. Now I have to call my bank to correct that. Lucky for me I took the photo of my receipt. I also found out they added tips before the tax. All around scam master restaurant, don’t go there… food wasn’t that great either.
UPDATE: About a week after this review, Bar Crudo reached out by email. The owner told me that after their own investigation the waiter was let go and they also refunded $60 from our bill and told me he is sending a gift certification as well. I appreciate the owner reaching out. After a good gesture by the owner, I feel like it was more of an isolated incident by a grumpy waiter that night.
I've changed my rating from one star to three star now. I hope the restaurant learned their lessons and emphasis on a good customer service going forward.
It was my first time trying the Black Magic oysters and they were so good I didn't even need to use mignette or the cocktail sauce that they came with. Nice bright flavor with a plump texture and perfectly balanced size which made sliding out of the shell quite easy.
Dungeness crab toastada is a must try. The sweetness of the crab was nicely balanced with the peppery flavor from the arugula. I did not add any of the salsa. I don't think it needs it to be honest.
Get the natural white wine blend, "SALT". Get a bottle if you're with friends. You will thank me later. It will pair perfectly with pretty much everything.
This chowder has been living rent free in my head. Lots and lots of fish and the creamy broth definitely deserves some bread to soak up every last delicious drop!
If you want dessert, ask for the port. The tawny was delightful but not on the menu so make sure you ask for it! I would love to see a dessert pop-up with Simon from @topogato chocolate. I think it would be an excellent addition.
