    We had a great experience with dinner for five. There wasn't a single dish that the group didn’t enjoy. Service was attentive and spot on with good recommendations. Can’t wait to come back with my wife.

    Krasi delivers a bustling, upscale Mediterranean dining experience with standout Greek dishes and attentive service in a slightly cramped setting. Although my table by the door felt drafty and some offerings, like the octopus, seemed pricey for their portions, the tableside tzatziki preparation and especially the flavorful, filling lamb made it worthwhile. The knowledgeable staff’s thoughtful wine recommendations and the overall quality of ingredients make Krasi an ideal choice for special occasions or a memorable date night.

    I brought my staff for a celebratory holiday lunch and we couldn't have been happier. LeeAnn, the hostess/server,  was warm, friendly, and just the right level of attentive. We sat in the covered/atrium space in the back, which was perfect on a rainy day. Cocktails and food were delicious - I ordered the mussels and they were some of the best I've ever had. The lunch reminded me how much I enjoyed Frenchie before Covid and I'm looking forward to coming back on a regular basis. Thanks for a lovely wonderful lunch!
