    Chicken Alfredo Primavera, Bee Sting, Pep Rally, Seasonally Inspired Pizza
    Catherine Z.

    This was our first meal in Buena Vista and we were relieved to find decent food after a long travel day! I got the chicken alfredo and asked for pesto on the side. The flavor was incredible, especially with the pesto! My one complaint is that the chicken was a bit dry, which I find to be a common problem when I order chicken dishes in restaurants. We also had a salad (I think it was the house greens) to share, and it was one of the best salads I've EVER tasted. The other members of my party enjoyed their pizzas as well. One person got the seasonal pizza, which I believe was a bourbon bbq brisket pizza, and that was VERY flavorful so they couldn't finish it in one sitting. Service was attentive and the place was well-decorated and clean!

    Hearty portions. Neat ambience and atmosphere. Kind servers. A local hip spot to visit. Take a pizza to go. It will help during those long evenings at hot springs. The menu is extensive. I consider this place a favorite on my journeys to Buena Vista. You should go. You'll be glad you did. People watching is fun here as folks from all walks of life patronize this. The building is old and vintage with a modern feel.

    Pig & Fig
    Abby H.

    The atmosphere inside was very homey with a modern twist. It was beautiful with a bar in the middle and an open kitchen to see all the dishes being prepared. It's a very spacious restaurant with lots of room to accommodate everyone. It's located in the heart of Buena Vista surrounding by cute little shops. I got the pig & fig pizza and my husband got the Margherita pizza. The pig & fig pizza was very good with a handful of arugula, figs, pickled onions and prosciutto. The pizza was a bit heavier so I only managed to eat half of it but it was good. The Margherita pizza was thinner but delicious. I got to steal a slice. The cooked cherry tomatoes and fresh basil was simple but sometimes simple is better. The crust was a little more burnt being a bit thinner, but overall it was a yummy pizza. We opted to try their dessert which included a cannoli dip and cheesecake with whipped cream and mixed berries. The cannoli dip was good but the cheesecake was delicious! The cannoli dip resembled chips and salsa with the filling in the center with the fried bits around it. The filling was pretty good but I couldn't eat too much of it. The cheesecake on the other hand was something I couldn't stop eating. The cheesecake was so soft and rich. Mixing it with the berries and whipped cream just enhanced the flavors even more making it a top tier dessert. Overall this was a really good spot to eat at with very friendly and attentive service throughout the night. I'll definitely come back to try some of their other items next time!

    Bee Sting
    Abbey B.

    We ate at Crave twice during our stay in BV! Both times were excellent. We had the pig and the fig and the bee sting pizza. The cheese bread with tomato soup and caesar salad were also bomb. Sadie behind the bar was lovely and the FOH manager Mark is an all star. That dude knows how to run a restaurant and make sure everyone is happy! Highly recommend stopping here for lunch!

    Pep Rally
    Haley R.

    What a great place with super friendly service. It's a cool semi-open kitchen concept at the back and smells delicious as soon as you walk in. We ordered two pizzas--the Pig & Fig on focaccia crust and the Pep Rally on the sourdough. The prosciutto, pickled onion, arugula and fig on the Pig & Fig is unique and delicious. Both crusts were fantastic with the perfect crispy crunch. Not a super extensive wine list but my spouse also had the Limoncello spritz to start the night and enjoyed it. We will definitely be back again!

    Cheddar Broccoli soup and Mango Fig Salad
    Patti B.

    Artisan breads capture your eye asa you enter. be sure to order a bread board. We had soup and salad combo for lunch. cheddar Broccoli is hands down a winner. Loved the Mango Fig Salad. we waiting in line to order but the staff delivers and we're on spot with service. Loved open air patio, but we sat inside and still enjoyed the sidewalk scene. Do NOT miss this one!

    My wife and I visited this restaurant in Colorado small town, Buena Vista last night for supper and enjoyed our dining experience. The restaurant was conveniently located in the center of town, nicely decorated outside, were greeted upon entering, seated right away, greeted and given menus by our server quickly, the dining room was quite large and open with dining around all sides of the bar area that was an area in the middle of the large dining room area (unique), our server was friendly though a bit slow responding to our dining needs, the menu was adequate (kind of limited) and more pricey than we anticipated, our food was served hot and was delicious!, and the restrooms were clean and did not smell.

    Bee Hive 10" pizza
    Cathy T.

    Looking for a place to eat on our way home, we found Crave. I ordered the mushroom ravioli with a vodka tomato sauce and my husband ordered the bee hive pizza with focaccia crust. We split a Caesar salad. The food was very good and came out fast! There was a slice of fresh bread with the ravioli however it did not have a lot of flavor - that was disappointing because it looked so good! The service was adequate not overly attentive, even though there weren't many customers. The ambiance is casual. There's a large bar in the center of the dining room. We would definitely eat here again the next time we're in town.

    Margherita

    Crave in Buena Vista definitely delivers when it comes to the food. We tried a few different pizzas, as well as the pasta and a meatball sub--everything was absolutely delicious. The menu has a lot of variety, and there's a solid drink selection too if that's your thing. That said, the service left a lot to be desired. Our server seemed disinterested and disengaged throughout the meal. We were told we'd get refills on our Diet Cokes, but they never came, and there was little follow-up or friendliness in general. It didn't ruin the night, but it definitely took away from the overall experience. To be fair, the food came out in a timely manner and was genuinely fantastic. But when you're dining out, service matters just as much as the meal. If the staff had matched the quality of the kitchen, this could've easily been a 10/10 experience. For now, I'd say 3 out of 5--not because of the food, but because good service makes all the difference

    Margherita
    kelley e.

    We walked in and the host asked us to wait 10 min in order not to overwhelm her server and I appreciate staff looking out for each other. The food was pretty great, we got a margarita pizza with artichoke hearts added. Food came out promptly. Our server was kind and attentive but clearly busy so not a lot of chit chat but that's fine. Happy hour looked great and we were an hour early so I'd recommend going after 2pm for the deals! Menu was small but mighty. The place was spacious and pretty minimalist, and needed dusting on some of the chandeliers. Overall nice place, would eat there again.

    Lasagna with pesto. Yum!
    Kathryn O.

    This place smells enticing from the street. The staff is very friendly. Even though they were really busy, the host went to get some extra chairs for my elderly mother in law and her friend while we waited, which was very kind of her. The food was great. I had the lasagna and my kids had the meatball sandwiches; all of them had pesto as an addition, which we all really liked. Great service and good, and the restaurant was very clean and pretty.

But it's old school and I really enjoyed sitting outside with my dog and the views. This pizza is close to greatness. Thin, light, flaky, crispy delicious crust - around the outer third. Sadly the middle suffered from an excess of toppings, turning it into a goopy mess especially as it sat. But the sauce is wonderful - basically seemed like little more than a puree of good quality tomatoes, as it should be. Cheese tasted like good quality, also. There was just a bit too much of it for the crust, which also could've used maybe just 3 more minutes in the oven. Undercarriage was just a little undercooked. But I'd be very happy if this was my local pizzeria. It's very, very good.

Pretty easy to order, just walk in, grab a menu, order, and wait for the deliciousness to come out of the kitchen. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Does it look like an amazing restaurant from the outside? Nah, and that's ok, because when you are hungry, that does not matter.
