The food was mediocre. The wait staff were attentive once we got their attention. The appetizer we got had velveta cheese in it??? Just why? If I’m going to a sit down restaurant I do not want processed cheese product. The salad I ordered was pretty good. I also ordered a small side of chicken and that was very flavorful. I needed it to get the feeling of plastic cheese out of my mouth.

Great little “Bistro” with a bar vibe. Good seating for a couple or a small group of 4. The food options are plentiful and decently priced. The beer list is awesome and pretty much all local. However, it’s over priced – $8 for a pint is a little high for local brews. Overall, very good. Great staff!!!

Located near a hotel, kind of off the normal tourist area. Plenty of seating, only two servers for the whole place so service was a bit slow. I got the Buffalo chicken strips which were a bit over powering. My wife got the Sriracha rolled tacos, which is an odd combination, but she liked them, even though they were a bit spicy.

Went here for dinner as part of a large group (12 people!). They accommodated our group, let us reserve tables, and helped us add more tables as people arrived. We were in the back area and it got really loud back there, it was hard to hear after awhile.

The food is overpriced for what it truly is. If the menu was designed by a chef who used higher quality ingredients, it would be a 5-star meal.

Really good food. I got the philly cheesesteak and was a great pick. The sweet potato fries were also amazing, this was a great area for this place. Would recommend 10/10.

Hello, my name is Ashley. I have been a frequent flyer at two cranes for 3+ years. I have nothing but great things to say about this place! The food is PHENOMENAL , the wait staff is even better. This place is a gem and has a fantastic vibe to it. You’ve gotta stop in for karaoke on Tuesdays. Thanks for your service Two Cranes!

First time and the food was not great. Ordered a chicken ceasar salad. I think they must have confused the salad dressing with plain mayonnaise because that was the taste and texture. The chicken was rubbery and dry. I asked to order something else and eventually was told the “kitchen agreed” at which point I decided to not take the risk. My partner had huevos rancheros and it was good, albeit overly salty. Not many patrons were there and it was pretty quiet. I can’t imagine we will visit again.
