One minor gripe: the mac and cheese is a little one-note. It's not bad, it just doesn't surprise you. A little more depth -- sharper cheese, a hit of something acidic or smoky -- and it would be a standout instead of an afterthought.

Our service was amazing and the drinks and food came quickly - we didn't need anything ever (which is a remarkable feat for a table of that size!). Seriously kudos to the wait staff - best service I've had in years. Food is always great at Crave as well. We started with salads and the steak skewers which are jam packed with spice and flavor. My husband loved his smoked Gouda Mac and cheese with crispy chicken on top. He tried so hard to save some for leftovers but ended up not being able to. I had the salmon which was perfect medium and had a really good Asian sauce with it accompanied by rice and veggies which were also cooked to perfection. We were lucky to have a back room so we had a little more privacy which was nice but the restaurant was packed for a Saturday night so I'd recommend a reservation for sure. Another thing that was nice - $7 valet parking. Super convenient and cheap!

The Perfect Pistachio Martini is SO good. And little did I know, we were there for happy hour, and…read moreit was only $7. I usually wouldn't give a place 5 stars if I was just there for a drink, but this pistachio martini was just too good, and I'm still thinking about it days later. And the interior of this place was cool. I want to come back the next time I'm in town. I got the Banana Bread Espresso Martini because I was interested... hadn't heard of it before. But it was just okay. It was kind of watery, and mine had pieces of ice in it. I guess it was just hard to go from the creaminess of the pistachio one to the more bitter banana bread one. All in all, cool place, great happy hour prices, and really delicious, unique pistachio martini! Go here even just for that. See ya next time; thanks for having me!

A cozy, conversational, gem nestled in the quaint downtown of Cuyahoga Falls! This place is not…read moreyour traditional bar; it's a cocktail-forward, date night, girls night kind of joint with low lighting and eclectic, timeless adornment. To note: it's a small place and reservations are imperative. They don't allow standing room in order to keep the intimate feel, so plan ahead. I've been able to walk in and grab a seat at the bar, but this place is in high demand and frequently fills up. There's a 2hr time limit on tables to ensure a higher volume of patrons may indulge these unique, craft cocktails and award winning bites.

It's also ironic that one of my original complaints was the pinball machines but now that's one of the things I gravitate towards! I think my expectations on the first visit were different than expected. Brittany is one of the friendliest bartenders. I've eaten there plenty of times and I love all the food except for the fries. The shape just throws me off. Nothing wrong with them, but I just don't care for them. Between the sandwiches, the pizzas, wraps, and other appetizers there is plenty for anyone to enjoy.

Was told they are having a permanent roof in stalled soon. We started off with the pretzels, mustard and beer cheese. Yum yum! Belgium triple was very good (9.5%). Even a better choice was the fried haddock. The fish was so crispy and the remoulade was a great addition to the fish. The side of pineapple mango slaw needed salt, pineapple, mango was not very tasty. French fries were hot, crispy and seasoned. Add a side of pickled onions. Kim was our server and she was so up beat and knowledgeable on the menu. Great food and service!

I especially like the Shrimp and Grits. It's a bit different than most versions, more "stew-like" but excellent. The hand made chips are also fantastic.

Its bistro vibe enhanced with an intimate dining room gives you the option of a fine dining meal for a special occasion or an upscale, more casual option. We love to take people from out of town and dine in one of the booths in the cafe side of the space. You can order off both menus in the cafe. My seared duck breast with risotto and green beans was perfect, a French / Alice Waters type prep that had us wanting more. The cocktails were on point as well, with generous pours. Most recently we sat at the bar and had friendly, attentive service even though it was a very busy weeknight. We love and truly appreciate this institution.

Customers should not be treated this way!!! Nobody wanted to speak up, which was another problem. As for the food, the chicken sandwich and fries was mediocre at best. Looked on par from what you'd get at a little league snack stand. Much better dining options in the Falls where one can be treated with respect. I'd avoid this place at all costs, unless you want a rude owner to belittle you in public! Then ask for your money.

Service was friendly and the other couple seated near us were regulars and said they've never had a bad meal there. We ended up deciding to try the western omelet and a pancake with added blueberries and a biscuit on the side. After we ordered, the owner came and talked to us and said that they are famous for their eggs Benedicts and hollandaise sauce... If I'd have known that before ordering I would have tried one of those. He did bring us a little hollandaise to sample though and it was amazing! He also brought over a piece of baklava for my husband and I to try and we agreed it was the best we have ever had! Delicious and flaky and not too heavy...the owner said they make it without honey. My husband really enjoyed his omelet (it did look super fluffy and delicious) and my pancake and biscuit were good as well. They only brought out syrup packets though; I wish they had a syrup pitcher/jug but that's just personal preference. They also charged for the tap waters we ordered so that was definitely strange. Food was solid though and everyone inside was nice. I would go back and try an eggs Benedict and get some more baklava for sure! Thank you, Enchanted Cafe, for a nice Saturday morning breakfast.
