    I love going to crush 11!! Everything there is so delicious and all the cocktails are amazing!! I was surprised it was busy on a Tuesday night. Our server was Nicole and she was so sweet!! The only thing I took a star off for was it took a while to get our food and drinks. Granted it was busy, so I’m sure that’s why, but it did take longer than expected. Other than that, this place is spectacular! I do miss when they changed up their menu seasonally. They don’t do that anymore and it makes me sad. I do think this place needs to have seasonal cocktails or seasonal specials or something to spice it up a bit.

    Amazing meal that we are all still talking about! The catch of the day is so fresh and changed frequently. Get the onion crusted option, and the fried spinach!
