Was looking forward to coming back here after the fire! Glad to see them back on their feet with a full house. First noticed that it seems visibly smaller. Not sure if that's because of the damage caused so am okay looking past it. Just be aware that there are maybe 5-6 tables inside and you will be close to your neighbor, or sitting at the large bar. Drink list seems great but wine list is in Spanish? (my silly bad for not understanding it fully) and wish there was some more details/flavors on the wine by the glass listed. Food was decent. Not sure it blew us away this time. They were certainly understaffed for a Friday night. Food was slow but our waitress was kind and appreciative of us so that was nice. read more

What a lovely dinner experience! Have been looking forward to coming to crudo nudo, who experienced a devastating fire and lengthy renovation. Needless to say, the food was amazing and the people here are so welcoming. With a wide variety of portion sizes, there is definitely something for everyone. This is one place where I really wanted to try the entire menu. Can't wait to come back. read more

Crudo Twudo! They're so back - excellent atmosphere (if brighter), great food and drinks, and the staff couldn't be more thrilled to be back. Go get your tapas fix! read more

Dishes were so clean I fixed my hair in them. Me and my hair left looking better than when I went in.

Amazing tapas bar of the best Spanish appetizers. They kept most of their menu from before the fire plus some new favorites!! Great spot to split some entrees with a group of friends and catch up. Atmosphere was a bit loud with the tables so close together it can be overstimulating but otherwise a very tasty experience!! read more

Amazing small plates with unique combinations of ingredients well presented in a great atmosphere. Would go again.

I went with a party of six on July 1 and enjoyed a delicious meal; however, I was charged three times, same amount. The erroneous charges were partially corrected after I went to the restaurant to contest the extra charges. I was told it would be corrected, but it was not. Finally, after contacting the restaurant a second time with no results, I had to resort to my credit card company to resolve the issue. If you go, enjoy the food, then check and double check your charges before you leave!! read more

The service was excellent- attentive, but not intrusive at all. The cocktails were extremely well done. Thoughtfully crafted. And the food! Wow! I'd heard good things but still was knocked out and delighted that everything was so very scrumptious! I would highly recommend! read more

This review is late in coming (been busy and haven't get caught up) but nonetheless hopefully informative. Crudo Nudo is definitely highly recommended when you're looking for great tasting tapas style food for your sophisticated taste. Understated from the outside, you are greeted by friendly staff with ambiance that is cozy and romantic but yet airy for gatherings. Food is reasonably priced and well-seasoned. read more

Super cool tapas bar with a Japanese vibe. Yummy food and great cocktails. Our bartender/server was super friendly and helpful and we enjoyed and excellent date night here!

Absolutely delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful. Loved the sheep chevre, angolotti, jamon and leeks the most. But everything was amazing. The best tapas we've had in the US. read more

This is one of our new favorite date night spots! The restaurant had a really dark and moody vibe to it, perfect for a date night. Service was WONDERFUL, and the food was all fantastic. There is definitely something for everyone between Crudo, hot and cold tapas dishes, and some really heavenly pastas. We went with tuna crudo, patatas bravas, Serrano wrapped bleu cheese dates, Manchego cheese with honey, and the Shrimp Buccatini. Everything was great, but the pasta was probably my personal favorite of the main meal. The absolute unquestionable star of the show though, was the ice cream. For $9 you can get a trio of flavors, but there are 4 offerings. The current options were Black Sesame, Nutella, Honey Almond, and Goat Cheese. We couldn't totally agree on which to leave off, and our server advised we could add the 4th for $3. Absolutely worth it. This was no joke the best ice cream I've ever had in my life. It was incredibly creamy, with almost a gooey texture with a slight chew to it in the center. That probably sounds less appetizing than it was but it is a MUST HAVE. The Black Sesame was my favorite. The scoops came atop a crumble which seemed similar to a graham consistency, and it was a great compliment to the ice cream texture. Definitely add this one to your list if you need a new date night spot, or want to take friends to a unique local place. read more

Incredible tapas experience! Space was swanky and modern. Staff were unbelievably helpful and knowledgeable. I chose to stay away from the typical tapas dishes you might expect to see (e.g. patatas bravas, albondigas, etc.). They had so many great and exciting options like the crudo, beef tartare, and picquillas. I asked the server for drink pairings and he nailed it. Even an off-menu sherry to go with dessert. Would come back again and again. read more

My brother and I came here after enjoying a day at The Chrysler Museum (which was also awesome, by the way). This place is fantastic!!! Be aware that you will need reservations as the dining room is fairly small and this restaurant is really popular. The tapas are fairly large portions compared to other tapas places we have been to, so I would recommend picking your top items first (we didn't even finish 4). We ordered the olives and the almonds first. The olives come warmed, which I was surprised by, but they were very good. The almonds were delicious! We didn't finish either one. I also ordered the Midnight Trust...twice. It's a mezcal drink, so if you like mezcal... this drink does not disappoint! We asked the server whether to get the mussels or albondigas, and she recommended the mussels, so we ordered that and the patatas bravas. OMG, SO GOOD!!! The mussels come in a saffron sauce, and there's some Spanish chorizo in it that is out of this world! The inside is quaint and you may be seated directly next to another diner (think separated only by a foot or so), so if you don't want that, make sure you ask for a booth or your own table when you reserve. I just want to know how to reserve the swinging chairs The service was amazing with someone constantly filling our water and asking us if we were doing OK. My brother got the avocado cheesecake, and I got the torta for dessert. He LOVED the avocado cheesecake and said it was one of the best deserts he ever had! We will be back as I still want a whole order of the chorizo, and I want to try the black rice, ceviche, and manchego and honey. That's already 4 more for next time! read more

Newly reopened! The interior now features a long bar on the left, table seating on the right. Small but sophisticated interior design. Tapas style, with menu ranging from small items as expected to a few medium and larger dishes. The black rice with shrimp entree portion was very flavorful. I'd get it again. The bucatini pasta likewise was tasty, dressed with a garlicky olive oil. Charred carrots were a hit. Of course with tapas everything is à la carte and prices can add up quickly. The bread was very good, but there was an extra charge for butter. One bread order can suffice for table, it's a nice crusty loaf. Would not order the fermented non-alcoholic green tea again. A light tasty kombucha type beverage, but $16 for a 4 oz pour wasn't worth it. Pricier than most of the wines. We were asked if we wanted the tapas to come out as they were ready, as is typically done, versus all at once. We said when ready. Mistake. Three of us were completely finished eating and the fourth person had to wait another 10 minutes for her pasta dish to come out. That was too long. The 3.5% additional credit card charge is annoying. Isn't this already included when you developed the menu pricing? It should be. Overall I thought the food, service, and atmosphere were very good. My friend thought prices were high for what you get, and I tend to agree. Best for when you aren't too hungry and want a drink with a little nosh. I'll be back. read more

Love this place ! Not only is the food unique and well prepared, the drinks are fantastic and the service is great!

Love this restaurant! Food is always on point. Definitely a place to share plates and try lots of new things. You MUST get the carrots. And the ham croquettes are my favorite comfort food. Service is always friendly and the cocktails are impeccable. Great for a date night or just a group of friends. Don't miss out! read more

Everything is absolutely delicious. Never had a bad bite. My one con would be the closeness of tables to your neighbors if you're not in a booth. read more

I stopped into Crudo Nudo with a friend for some late night cocktails and dessert. We sat at the bar, which gave us a front row seat to the magic of their drink creation! We both loved the cocktails we got; one mezcal blackberry, and one a mango gin and tonic. They were so creative and refreshing! We got the tart for dessert, and it was super light with delicious fruit under a delicate almond cake. A great night!! read more

I took zero pictures of the delicious tapas we ordered, but the atmosphere and food was incredible. What we ordered: Serrano Rolito Pork Belly Patatas Bravas Sautéed mushrooms Spinach & Goat cheese agnolotti Black sesame ice cream Every bite was delicious, unique and obviously infused with high-quality ingredients. I loved the Serrano rolito, the agnolotti and the black sesame ice cream most. I already look forward to coming back to try more of their fun menu. read more

This was my first time dining at Crudo Nudo and I really enjoyed it! It's such a cute little restaurant centrally located in Ghent. What's great is that there's an area to park as well. We made reservations in advance, which seems helpful, because the restaurant is small. I loved the swing seats in the window, although we sat more traditionally at a booth. The waitress was really nice. She made great recommendations. We started with cocktails and a cheese board. It was a great combo! I ordered the jamon croquettes because I am a croquette fan, but they were not a winner for me. The Serrano wrapped blue cheese stuffed dates were absolutely divine! All of the other dishes were also tasty (octopus, chicken and rice, and cresto di gallo). The only hiccup was that the pork belly did have peppers on top, and I do not eat spicy food....unfortunately I took a huge bite before realizing the peppers were hot. I also am a fan of more crispy pork belly, but it was still a great dish. We finished with a Neapolitan icee cream featuring goat cheese flavor instead of vanilla call three were delicious, with Nutella flavor taking the crown. 4 STARS! Great service, cute decor, unique and flavorful options. I would love to visit again and try other options! read more

First and foremost, the ambiance here is a whole vibe- their seating is all really amazing, and we were lucky to have gone on a Thursday mid-late afternoon where there were only a couple other tables. My friend and I only came for drinks, and we sat in the cute swing eggs in the front. We were immediately greeted, and told about the half off Sangria special for that day (I think it's every Thursday for the half off sangria half pitcher or full), so we obviously ordered that. My friend makes her own sangria, so I will say it wasn't AS good as hers, but still very tasty! The glasses they are served in were so cute and Spanish-y. We didn't eat here, but I do look forward to coming back on another Thursday for another sangria pitcher and trying some Tapas. read more

DATE NIGHT SPOT Savoring the wonderful tapas experience we had at Crudo Nudo! It's the perfect date night spot to enjoy delicious food and drinks or drop in for a memorable lunch.

Everything was made to perfection and definitely can't wait to go back to try more on their menu! read more

Dreamy and romantic place with a hint of tropical fun to it. This is perfect for a date night l, group dinners, and even to eat by yourself over at the bar. Service was timely and polite. I was with a group of 3, to include myself. We shared three dishes and a pitcher of sangria: 1. Classic Board -- We chose the large board, which was plenty for 3-4 people. It had prosciutto, manchego cheese, garlic hummus, olives, patatas bravas, chorizo, roasted rainbow carrots, and bread. I loved the patatas bravas. Super soft as soon as you bit into the crispy outerlayer, and a nice savory taste. 2. Pan Con Tomate -- I usually expect the tomatoes to be more paste-like, but instead the tomatoes were flattened. It tasted more like bruschetta in my own opinion, but it was still good and a good amount of food. 3. Octopus with Marinated Beans -- Loved the marinade over the beans and octopus. However, I felt like the price of this dish was not worth for the amount of octopus that was on the plate. I would've preferred a whole tentacle because the sliced octopus felt like only half of one tentacle. read more

Popped into Crudo Nudo for lunch. What a great addition to Ghent. The food and cocktail menus were awesome! We tried the beef tartare, brussel sprouts and the sausage pasta. Everything was super tasty and paired well with the delicious cocktails! We sat at the bar and the bartender was super attentive and had great recommendations on what to order. The restaurant itself if set up nicely and has a great ambiance. Will definitely be back again! read more

I've been coming to crudo nudo for 3 years now. It is great for small celebratory dinners. However, I even had one of my birthday dinners here with 8 other friends. We called in and reserved a few weeks out though. The vibe here is more on the intimate side. I come back to crudo nudo over and over, because the food here is delicious. I always get the spinach and goat cheese agnolotti as one of my starters to share with whoever I am dining with. The marinated octopus over white beans taste like a delicious steak! I completely demolish their mussels in saffron broth and chorizo when I order it. The goat cheese ice cream is light and not too sweet (I personally like that). If you are experimenting with sobriety or do not feel like drinking alcohol but want a fun drink, the bartender can make you a mocktail! I had one made with passionfruit syrup. It was so refreshing that I ordered another one. If you are thirsty for some alcohol, the pitcher of sangria or any of their wines are a great choice to pair with your meal. read more

Staff is always very friendly & knowledgeable. A place we go to very often. Restaurant is a small tapas and plate restaurant. Reservations are recommended. They have amazing & one of the best sangrias in town. The pasta is a newly added addition which was very creamy and tasty. I've been multiple times and will always give 5 stars. Food is always hot and can always be modified. The inside is very cute and decorated with personal made paintings. Keep up the great work crudo Nudo! read more

We got scallop ceviche, hamachi crudo, and mussels for starters. Then we got bucatini & lumache pastas for entrees. The mussles and ceviche were pretty good. The hamachi was disappointing. There were few pieces of hamachi sashimi drowned in olive oil and salt, which was all we can taste. The oil was so overpowering that we can't really enjoy the taste of hamachi. Do not recommend that dish. The bucatini was DELICIOUS. The flavoring was on point and balance. They gave generous amount of shrimps as well. However, the lumache pasta was soooo salty, I couldn't finish it. The pasta it self was good though. I would definitely return to get the bucatini! read more

We went here after some serious pickle balling nearby. The reviews looked good and we love tapas. We had such a great time. Our waiter was the best. I can't remember his name (young man)but he really took care of us. We had the hamachi and salmon crudo. So good. The Brussels were great but maybe too crispy? I know that's not possible. The potatoes brava were so crunchy and I loved that. The pasta fusilli was tasty and the mussels tasty as well. My son had the Airmail cocktail and I had a mock tail. Super refreshing! They have a totally yummy avocado cheesecake and the catalana has an amazing orange flavor. We want to go back! read more

I'd read about this place, great reviews. I was there for lunch on a Friday. I ordered 4 things. I was disappointed w the canned or jarred white asparagus. I was looking forward to white asparagus in Europe -an annual fresh vegetable used in so many ways. This was mushy and flavorless. The mushrooms w spice and garlic were black. I love mushrooms. Typically --but these were not good. I ate maybe 3 of the entire serving. Thé jambon croquets were good. The wine by the glass was nice. Tho the bartender struggled to describe it to me. I love tapas. Ever since I first was in Spain n 1999. But this was uninspired and really not that tasty. The blue cheese stuffed dates were good. read more

Had bar service on a Saturday. You need a reservation on weekends to get a table but there is limited bar seating that is walk in. Service was really good, all the food was great if pricey. My only knock and it's not enough to take a star off is they pass on the credit card fees to the customers at a 3.5% add on. It's a cost of doing business and frankly at their prices they shouldn't be tacking on a fee on the back. Everything else is so good though it overcomes that little knock. Great, intimate ambiance. Cocktails were $11-16. All 4 we had were good, not extraordinary but the price points were in line and we had no complaints. We had salmon that was flash seared and excellent (think like sushi) at $14. The in prosciutto wrapped dates were a large portion for tapas for 2 but would be great for 4 and at $14 is not bad. Wasn't my favorite, but the flavors worked. The shrimp bucatini at $26 was a nice portion and great. The steak was phenomenal and maxing out pricing for what it is at $31. 4 tapas and 4 cocktails had us out the door at $161.85 before tip. It's worth the splurge though! read more

I love finding new spots like this in Norfolk, and Crudo Nudo is definitely a mainstay! First: cocktails!! I got the Celery Gimlet and oh my god. I've never had anything like it. I think I expected celery juice? It sounded good no matter what and what arrived was a bright and refreshing gin gimlet with celery bitters. Out of this world wonderful. Boozy and unique. I asked them how they make it and already have the specific brand of bitters they use in my Amazon cart... For a table for 4, we ordered: - Hamachi Crudo (incredibly tasty and fresh, the order came with 6 small pieces) - Hummus with corn nuts (very fun texture combination! We quickly ran out of bread for the hummus and they brought us more without charging extra) - Catalan Style Green Beans (I just love green beans, these were great and I loved the breadcrumbs on top) - Spinach & Goat Cheese Agnolotti (the butter cream sauce on these ravioli-type pasta pieces was so indulgent. I would've gotten 2 orders of this, just for 1 more bite) - Chicken and Rice (This was a chicken, rice, mushroom, and chorizo dish. Honestly, it was the least impressive of the bunch yet the most filling. I would pass on a future visit) - Cheese Board (This came with their manchego and honey, a bleu cheese, a sheep's milk chèvre, and Idiazabal cheese which was definitely the crowd favorite. It also came with some olives and bread) - Patatas Bravas (A classic, you can't go wrong! Theirs were hot and crispy with a nice creamy aioli with a kick) This amount of food was perfect for us. We ordered it in 2 rounds and did not have dessert. The restaurant itself is small and cozy. They have a colorful and comfortable vibe that made me want to hang around even longer. To quote my friend's dad: "The only bad thing about Crudo Nudo is the menu never changes. But the best part is that the menu never changes." I look forward to coming back to try more things as well as familiar favorites. read more

Small, intimate vibe, with a comfortable noise level to hold a conversation. Overall, food was decent. I was with a party of 4. In total we had about 10 different dishes, not including dessert. Of the 10, there were two dishes we passed on, the cod fritters (just not good) and patatas bravas (the sauce on them was not complimentary with the potato). In hindsight, we should have asked for these to be taken off our checks, but in the back of my head, I'm use to good servers at establishments of this quality to offer that when they see a menu item has not been eaten. Tip to future visitors bring cash to save yourself the 3.5% cc charge, or at least 3% of it as my check said there would be a 3% discount if paying by cash. Also, we were a party of 4 (should have been 6), and the automatic gratuity was 22%. The service received was not worthy of a 22% tip. One member of my party stated they would have given 15%, I would have given 18%. Our waitress was slow to service, did not write down our orders and brought out a wrong dish, overall had a an attitude of not giving a care to provide top service but I guess when you know you'll automatically get a 22% tip there must be no need to try. We ate here the night of Friday, December 29th, and had a female waitress. read more

Great new Spanish spot for us. Tapas and pasta. No beer, but wine and cocktails, including a white wine on tap. We started with a "small board" which turned out to be quite large in variety with a glass each of the wine on tap. We chose different wines to go with our next and last offerings which were delicious...blue cheese stuffed dates wrapped with Sorrento ham for me and calamari and black olives for my wife. Definitely a new stop for us. Can't wait to return. Parking lot next door with one HC spot. We sat at the bar and the service excellent. It's a cozy spot and was very quiet during our Monday mid-afternoon visit. read more
