Food: Edible but not exceptional

Their Trio Crudo, Squid Ink Rice, and Ceasar Goes Vegan Salad imply options which are delightful, yet patrons still find their creativity suffering. Diners praise Crudo E Nudo's surprising freshness, but are disheartened by the small portions and excessive pricing. The lack of variety also seems to mar the overall dining experience.

  • Very Creative

    Chef's genius blends East and West, creating exceptionally unique, special dishes.

  • Okay Taste

    Mixed feelings on food; hits are great but misses with inconsistent flavors.

  • Bad Variety

    Menu can feel frustrating, lacking variety and satisfactory options.

Vibe: Confusingly lackluster setup

The ambiance at Crudo E Nudo seems disjointed and inconvenient for many, with tables too close together, making it unfavorable for date nights. Moreover, the wine pours fall desperately short, all but eliminating enjoyment from the drink selection. Expect a casual, but chaotic outdoor seating experience that fails to impress.

  • Negative Buzz

    Casual outdoor seating in a busy street, lacked ambiance.

Perks: Hard-pressed for comfort

While finding parking at Crudo E Nudo is easy, the dine-in experience leaves much to be desired, with noise disrupting meals and tight outdoor seating. Making reservations is difficult and even with them, guests have been kept waiting. Less recommended for large groups due to space constraints.

  • Easy To Park

    Parking is easy with a close lot and street parking available.

  • Bad Service

    Service inconsistencies, rude staff, slow service, and seating delays noted.
