Ate dinner here Sat evening. Place was busy, but not overly noisy, and the service was still great. We had steaks (ribeye and filet), sushi, a burger and dessert. Everything was delicious. Drinks were wonderful as well.

We had heard only positives about this restaurant so we wanted to try it. I chose the halibut and butternut risotto special and my husband had the ribeye. We also enjoyed the sangria, beer, and a sushi appetizer. The bar areas were both full and there was a nice vibe throughout the restaurant. This was our first but will not be our last time enjoying delicious food and drink at Crush.

This was our first time to Crush in Sandusky, OH and it was absolutely phenomenal. The service by Marissa was exemplary and all of the food and drink was excellent. The atmosphere for Valentine's Day was perfect and we cannot wait to return. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening!

Once again a great meal. Great service. They seated us in a nice cozy/private spot which, on most days, would have been nice but it was cold out and since there were walls of windows next to us, despite their providing a space heater, it was chilly. Our toes were even cold. That was really the only downside.
