Our Guestbook
“ Started off with a Mexican Old Fashioned and it was delicious! I made my own pizza with no cheese and five toppings everything was cooking to perfection. The rest of my party mostly had pasta collectively we all gave this restaurant a 9/10 and had all of us craving for more. Atmosphere is great as well and the outdoor area was my favorite part. I will definitely be back. ”
“ Crave is so good that we ate there twice. The atmosphere is excellent. The salads were delicious. The mussels appetizer was really good. Scallops were very good. The service was excellent. ”
“ 5 Stars – Melissa is the Heart of Crave! I don’t normally leave reviews, but after visiting Crave, I had to shout out one of the best bartenders I’ve ever encountered—Melissa. From the moment we walked in, her energy lit up the room. She’s professional, personable, fast, and somehow still takes the time to make every guest feel like a VIP. If I owned a bar or restaurant, I’d hire her on the spot—she’s that good. Melissa isn’t just an employee; she’s the best part of the company. Crave is lucky to have her. She truly elevated the entire experience. Can’t wait to come back! ”
“ Looking for fine dining, well here it is! Reservations are strongly recommended but we called and there wasn’t a wait time @5:30p on a Monday. We were greeted upon arrival and seated at a booth near the evening musician. Nice ambiance and service. Ashton was our waiter who was very knowledgeable and attentive throughout our dining experience. We ordered a glass of rose, mozzarella sticks/triangles, lasagna, caesar salad, and an assortment of hot bread. The garlic knots are 10/10. The food arrived hot and was so tasty. We enjoyed the violinist and we would definitely return to Crave. We were told by the waitress that we were able to dine til 7p. for those who made reservations. ”
“ Tonight I had the opportunity to go with one of my cousins to visit this restaurant that he had been recommending to me weeks ago and he was not wrong in saying that it is one of the best if not the best of all the Italian restaurants that he has visited; From the welcome to the last goodbye by the staff they made us feel very comfortable and well taken care of, our waitress Sireece was a love of person recommending each special of this night in great detail, always with the best disposition and a charming smile. As if it wasn't enough, so much explosion of wonderful flavors, sereece brought us a small dessert from the house . We will definitely be back very soon, thank you very much once again for such excellent service. ”
“ Enjoyed a wonderful Mother's Day dinner. Our server was Lexi - who was just perfect. I had the special, which was flounder on risotto with "colossal" shrimp and a creamy white sauce and tomatoes. Excellent. My husband had the Pork Oso Bucco on a bed of risotto. He liked it. We loved the bread before and the dinner salads as well. The NY cheesecake was disappointing though. I've never had cheesecake made with ricotta - ugh. Anyway, they also had an Italian crooner who made my night. Highly recommend this restaurant! ”
“ We had a good experience at this Italian restaurant! I tried arancini for the first time and absolutely loved it—crispy on the outside and perfectly creamy inside. The rest of the food was just as delicious, and the service was warm and attentive. To top it all off, there was live music that created a lively, welcoming atmosphere. A perfect spot for good Italian cuisine. (Alex, Yesy, Liz, Aiden) ”
“ Food was excellent. Seafood Pompeii was over the top. Live music provided by Frank on Sundays was totally amazing and made our evening. Our waitress, Lexi, was personable and attentive. She just turned Crave into our new favorite restaurant in Myrtle Beach. ”
