This was my second visit to Crave Mediterranean Cafe on Republic Road…read more Overall, it's a solid fast-casual experience -- not fine dining, but that's clearly not what they're aiming for. We spent about $40 for two people and had table service, which was a nice touch. Our waitress was very friendly and had a great attitude, though it seemed like she might have been having an off night as there were a few small mistakes along the way. The food was good across the board -- nothing bad at all, just not especially memorable. The space itself is a plus: larger dining room, comfortable seating, and a nice place to sit and enjoy a meal. If you're comparing Mediterranean options in Springfield, I'd probably give the edge on food to Greek Belly, but Crave offers a more spacious and relaxed dine-in atmosphere. Overall, a good, reliable option -- especially if you value the setting as much as the food.

There were 5 of us. Menu was very simple and easy to read through. They have open kitchen, so you can see the cooks working it up in the kitchen. There are different variety of gyros and shrawma that they have. I usually order a either of it. So it's surprising to see more different one! I stick with the basic gyro and my daughter got the Philly cheese steak gyro and the beef shrawma dinner plates. We also order some appetizer and dessert. Food tastes very fresh and good. A must try spot.

My wife and I went for an early dinner and so she could have the prime rib dinner special. I decided to go with the chicken fried chicken again. We like to sit in the bar area for the TVs and Candace, our favorite server. And she didn't disappoint . Well I was a little concerned when our entrees came within about five minutes after getting our salads. It takes a while for chicken to fry and for the prime rib to cook and rest as well. We felt our entrees weren't cooked fresh for our order. The flavors were good but neither were as good as we've grown to expect. We didn't say anything to our server but won't order them again. Every restaurant can have an off night and we'll probably give them another shot down the road.

The onion strings fall apart easily and have to use a fork to eat them with or just greasy fingers!

I HATE the Club Lotto stuff at the table- and lotto machine- are they sponsors of the place? it really just diminishes the atmosphere. Nice to have the games at the table. You don't need lotto to add to the ambiance! Overall I would go back, but maybe order to go or get DoorDash. It appears they have a lot of beer on tap- but I don't drink. My husband had the 2 patty burger. It's the same as the kids- just 1 less patty. I would like to try the salad or chicken strips sometime.

Enter The Grotto west coast food. Since I lived on the west coast for 40 years I thought it was appropriate that I come to judge the West coast authenticity. This place is awesome. My friend had a Baja bowl that looked and smelled divine and I had the steak Gorgonzola salad, the meat portion was huge and the candied pecans were delicious. I might even bring my super judgmental west coast rude family here since I think even they would be pleased at how delicious the food was. We sat in a comfy booth and loved every bite of our meal, the balsamic vinaigrette was the perfect complement to the savory steak and sweet pecans. I can't wait to go back to the grotto
