I am new to the North Buffalo area, and am exploring the local restaurants this wonderful area has to offer. Because of this I decided to take my husband to CRaVing for his birthday. I am very happy with my decision as the dinner could not have been more perfect.Situated in the Heart of Hertel, CRaVing offers dinners a unique experience by providing fresh local foods farm to table. This week they purchased a whole cow, so their menu is catered around the animal using all the animal.The atmosphere, was very warm, intimate and the server named Tom was nothing less then outstanding. He was attentive to us as well as the other patrons in the establishment during a busy time.We started our meal with a wonderful Bone Marrow, that is roasted and topped with a mushroom duxelle, and served with house focaccia. The bone marrow was prepared and presented beautifully, the Chef in this establishment has great skills at balancing flavors especially between the rich bone marrow and pairing it with the mushroom duxelle. In addition, we decided to have the Stuffed Dates that were bacon wrapped after being stuffed with chorizo, served on a bed of romesco sauce, this again was balanced well and due to the richness of the dish I decided to pair it with a bottle of Champagne, which worked perfectly.For our entrée, we both had a Root Beer Braised Short Rib served with a local vegetable hash with spinach and garlic. The entrée size was more than adequate and the meat just needed a gentle tug to full off the bone. The vegetable hash, was packed with flavor and again as in previous courses/ dishes complimented the short rib very well providing a much-needed contrast of flavor.Overall, I hope to visit this place quite often and am impressed with the quality and size of the portions. I will say that I would take advantage of reserving a table online, because of the intimate setting seating is limited and you really do not want to miss out on this gem.

Where to begin with this beautiful gem. First time in Buffalo and I stumbled across this place. To start, the staff was incredibly Swift helpful and kind. Probably the best service I’ve seen in a couple of months. big shout out to the chef and culinary team responsible for the farm to table experience and incredible execution. I wish I just had more time to try the menu item since the menu changes on a daily basis almost. Even the simpler items were blowing me away like the arcini and the barbecue pizza. I praise them on every aspect of dining, affordable pricing and sizable portions.

My favorite restaurant! I love coming here for their rotating menu. Everything is always in season and fresh, especially the veggies. The dishes are well balanced and simple, and so good. A cozy atmosphere well suited for anything from afternoon cocktails to a nice dinner.

Excellent, knowledgeable, and skilled bartenders. Creative, passionate, and customer pleasing chefs. Why would you spend your time, money and memories anywhere else. Public parking is right next door. Come in and taste the experience of hertel avenue.

Service was rushed, ordered the pork and it was over cooked and chewy. My date had salmon which was really pretty good! Two because prices are high for a meal and you are hoping that the meal will be out of this world. Worst pork dish I have had in a while.
