We visited the deli/shop as the restaurant was closed. We stopped in to grab lunch. They have salads by the pound and premade sandwiches. Very limited menu. We ordered the Italian sub which was on crusty bread and warmed up. Very tasty. Since couldn't modify sandwiches and order without the bread, ordered a half pound of the chicken salad. It was good. Had berries and grapes with lots of herbs in it. Could have done without the grapes. Grabbed a bag of Bloody Mary chips that were tasty. They do have lots of wine and a huge drink case. There's also the market that sells lots of unique and specialty brands, as well as local brands. They do have several bakery items such as cookies and some lovely looking cakes available by the slice. This is a boutique style deli/store so be aware that that vibe is also reflected in their pricing. Nice place to explore.

First time here & I didn't realize this old Woolworths was doubling as an exceptional art gallery w/ booths for many artists. If you need the bathroom, get in line right away vs. sufferring. Next time, I'm bringing my youngest son Jeremy who would definitely appreciate the place. My husband ordered the curry chicken sandwich & I ordered the grilled cheese & side salad. Very tasty sandwiches & side salad. Eventually we shared a chocolate shake which was very nice. 25 Aug Warning: My husband & I went home & he had the worst stomach upset throughout the night ( I'm fine). the only difference between us today, he ate the curry chicken & he used the soda fountain bathroom; he suspects the curry chicken sandwich & looking at previous health violations there is concern.

I was very excited to share this experience with my kids, since I grew up with a woolworths soda…read morefountain/retail store. One of my kids has a severe nut allergy so we advised the young lady taking our order. She said nothing had nuts but she would write it on the order. First, there are nuts in the menu- pesto for staters. So we went ahead with it because you could see the food preparation. So we sat at the counter and as we watched we quickly realized there was a ton of cross contamination. I see the manager and I tell him that we placed an order and we have nut allergy and I only needed care with 2 items ordered. He said we dont have nuts, kinda matter of factly borderline rude and was trying to walk away so I say well you have pesto on the menu and that contains nuts. He says oh well we prepare pesto in a separate area and "I dont think" we've used it today. So I say thats ok I only need the gloves changed and putting a piece of the wax paper you use in the baskets as a barrier on the prep counter (mind you this is not a real protection but I knew this was going to be an issue) so he tells the young lady prepping as she clearly had already overhead my conversation because she looked back at me annoyed, she turns to him- slaps her gloved hands (in the middle of a different food prep) on her lap and says so I have to change everything?! I say (in the kindest way) hey no look if you can just put a barrier on the counter and just change your gloves I would be comfortable with that (I low key was not but again,I saw the potential for no prevention). She side eyes me and begins to slam things down. I cant verify if she changed her gloves or not because she stepped off to the side and returns to proceed to put the wax paper down but I had faith that she understood that someone life is at stake. She prepares the sandwich and basically slams the basket on the counter so that it slides at me. I said hey thanks for doing that, I appreciate it, she doesn't look at me, no response, nothing. I'm waiting for the rest of our order and the manager comes back around so I say (again, and kindly) hey thanks for doing that, he says Yeah, and she mumbles something under her breath so I say someone with food allergies can die from a simple cross contamination so its very important, thank you. I cannot believe that people working in the food industry are so poorly trained in the importance of food allergies and that a manager no less, did not properly address the proper way of handling food allergies and preparationof surfaces and food. Otherwise you should tell people when ordering that they are not willing to accommodate allergy issues and we would have left. Totally disgusting behavior. Food was typical, counter food, nothing to go back to and certainly not after this event. Very unethical.

Celebrated my birthday at Crusco last night and loved it! Cozy and upscale without feeling stuffy,…read morewith genuinely warm service from the moment we walked in. My husband forgot his glasses and couldn't read the menu, and both the host and our server offered him readers. We did the Dinner for Two $85 -- two starters, two vegetable plates and an entrée to share -- which was such a fun way to experience the menu. We started with the Turnip Cake with XO sauce and Hamachi Crudo with shiso and grilled cucumber. The turnip cake was unique with a great garlicky crunch from the XO, but the bright, fresh Hamachi was definitely more our speed. Next were the Beets with mint, tom kha and makrut lime -- probably the hardest dish to describe because I've never had anything quite like it! The earthy sweetness of the beets was paired with a creamy sauce with hints of lemongrass, little crunchy bits and fresh mint. Earthy, citrusy, creamy and fresh all at once -- a really unique take on beets. Then came one of our favorites of the night: the Fried Potatoes with soubise, lovage and roe. I admittedly had no idea what soubise or lovage were, but crispy potato + creamy sauce + pickled onion (I think?) + salty roe was an AMAZING combination. That little briny pop from the roe reminded me of capers, and we both loved every bite. The Crispy Chicken Thigh was another winner -- perfectly crisp skin, juicy tender chicken, a little pork sausage layered in, plus lima beans and marinated peppers. I wish I took a photo of it after I cut into it to showcase how well prepared it was. Not a bite left behind! And major bonus points for taking such good care of my daughter. She has special dietary needs, and when I asked about something off-menu, our server didn't hesitate. The kitchen made her campanelle with butter and parmesan, and she loved it so much she ordered a second plate. Great food, beautiful cozy atmosphere and friendly, unfussy hospitality. Such a lovely birthday dinner, and definitely a place we'd return to!

It is important to align your expectations: this is still a buffet, so you shouldn't expect every dish to have the refinement of a carefully composed plate at a fine-dining restaurant. However, this certainly isn't Golden Corral, either! The quality of the food, preparation, setting, and service are all noticeably a step above the typical buffet experience. Everything we tried from the seafood spread was good, and there wasn't a single item we actively disliked. At the same time, nothing was especially memorable--other than how much my wife loved having unlimited access to the shrimp cocktail! The dessert area was definitely one of the highlights. My only regret was filling up on so many crab legs and other seafood that I didn't have enough room to fully embrace everything the dessert bar had to offer. Poor planning on my part! Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal in a beautiful setting. We would happily return, especially to try the Saturday night prime-rib buffet.
