We were at Cranes on a Wednesday evening with Carolyn as our server. We had a great dinner, with the tempura and yakitori dishes as favorites, and the service was really first class. All of the staff work together seamlessly to get the food out, and made it easy to feel like we were the only table in the restaurant. In particular though Carolyn was very friendly and professional, and really made our experience at Crane’s a special part of the night.

enjoyed the ambiance of this restaurant, staff were attentive. I had the omakase experience with elevated drinks pairing, i would skip the pairing if you are not a fan of sake. The food was good but nothing mind blowing. I enjoyed the wagyu dish and prawn dish the most.
