CRAVE, Mall of America



Along South Street in the Mall of America is CRAVE, a local chain that has expanded by the want of locals. The chic atmosphere and variety of the menu makes CRAVE the perfect choice for dining that will please everyone in your party.

When we sat down, we were handed the regular menu, a sushi menu, the wine list, and Monday's are burger night, so there was a burger and shake menu on the table, also.

We ordered the special 1881 Sirloin steak, wrapped in bacon and topped with slabs of herb butter and served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The sauce, the butter, and the potatoes, were delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly. And, well, its wrapped in bacon. What more can one ask for?

We also ordered the roasted chicken and penne (without the goat cheese). Again, the chef nailed the sauce, it perfectly complimented the dish, and the taste of the pine nuts brightened the dish without making it heavy or adding an additional, unnecessary flavor.
