Definitely would recommend going for any occasion. Well worth the trip. Cheers!

                                                          The design is excellent and makes for a lovely evening. Maybe there were too many waitstaff?? Almost a little chaotic with so many people moving around the room. And while the food was outstanding, the prices were very high and the portions really small. Example was the scallop entree, 3/4 of the plate was empty/$42. The short rib dish included exactly 1 small short rib/$38. While we had a good meal, our waiter was goofy and we left hungry after $180 before tip. Went home and got out some cheese and crackers. Not sure we’ll do that again soon.

                                                          our server, Antonio did a wonderful job. Very personal, and professional. Blueberry/Apple muffin was a great start to Brunch. I specifically asked for my Omelette cooked "Soft, or easy" and it wasn't even close. I may just need to stop ordering them. Everyone else was very happy. Crepe was great !

                                                          Had a great experience at The Krebs! The short rib is something else, and the grilled brussel sprouts were delicious. Top it off with some pretty great cocktails and you've got one nice anniversary dinner! Well done!
