Crave's Coastal Kitchen & Cocktails

So my husband and I finally got to try Crave's! We moved to Flagler Beach in May, we live just down the street a few blocks away and since we haven't been to yet I made reservations for Christmas Eve. When we arrived we were taken upstairs where I had reservations for but unfortunately our table was not ready yet. We did have to wait approximately 20 minutes before we were seated but Joseph who took care of us did a great job getting us a great table. Joseph also ended up being our server...I don't know if he was supposed to be but we were happy he was. He took our drink order which we both ordered house margaritas. Joseph brought out rolls with butter and our margaritas which tasted delicious! I ordered the prime rib rare and garlic mashed potatoes, my husband ordered the Delmonico rib steak with a loaded baked potato. My prime rib was huge and delicious (love the horseradish). My husband said his steak was terrific! Joseph really took care of us and I'm so happy went came here for dinner. The owner Mike also came to our table and welcomed us to Flagler Beach which was so welcoming!! we sat upstairs and it was so nice. It was decorated beautifully for Christmas. Love the floors love the space between the tables. We will definitely be back!!Thank you Joseph and Mike, we had a terrific Christmas Eve!! Merry Christmas!

We ate in the bar. There were quite a few locals there, seems like a local favorite. This place has been here a long time, maybe 15 years. The AC is arctic! Bring a wrap if you get cold.Rolls soft and fresh. I'm wondering if this restaurant has a local bakery they use. The marble rye seemed not to be grocery store type too.Sandwich - the Grouper was VERY lightly blackened. There was Cole slaw inside the sandwich. It was a good combination but hubby said the fish was skimpy. True, in this area Grouper sandwiches are usually more impressive.Lobster-cargo- delightful, full of yummy lobster claw and leg meat (not chunks of tail). Nice with the croutons.Lobster ravioli - I had to send it back the first time because it wasn't hot anymore. It took some time to get the replacement and hubby had finished eating before I got my new plate. The pasta seemed fresh, maybe made in house. There was a lot of lobster meat, and 4 ravioli was a big portion. I could only eat 2. The vodka sauce was nice, not too heavy.Service was mostly very good, except for me having to interrupt conversations the bar tenders were having with other customers. Our food took a long time, over 30 minutes. When I asked, they said there were some big parties upstairs and ours was up next. It still didn't come out right away, and as I said, mine was cold. The fries may have held up our order because they were hot and fresh but not remarkable otherwise.Ambience is VERY casual, very beachy. No draft beer, no happy hour but a beer is only $4. I had a nice meritage from Conundrum that I really liked for $9 a glass.We will probably go back for the view and cheap drinks but it's not on the top of our list.

Today is my birthday. My wife and I went to Craves for dinner. The service was great. Bonnie was wonderful. I had a martini and it was delicious. I had the Delmonico steak, which is huge bone in ribeye and my wife had the filet mignon. Both were excellent. It was a perfect meal. When we were ready to leave we were told that the people sitting across from us had paid for our entire meal, including tip. It was so unexpected and wonderful. So to the very nice family with the wife with the sparkling eyes (as my wife noticed) a very sincere thank you.

Excellent!! Every single time!!We love the blue cheese stuffed olives in the martini

First time coming here since the new owners. And I have to say it's just as good as it was when it was Martin's the place is so clean and nice I love how they decorated it. The service is still great. He never wanted for anything, and the food came out perfect and right on time. I also love how our waitress make suggestions and when I asked between two things, she said you must get the salmon and I'm so glad I did. Great service great food highly recommend trying that out.

We had a GREAT experience here! It was very busy, and we still got great food and service! At one point when the bartender was super busy, the owner even came behind the bar and started serving the customers until the bartender could get caught up. Loved seeing that! The atmosphere was fun, and they have lots of TVs. We had the fish chowder, and it was very good! The special of the day was chopped hamburger steak with mushroom gravy and mashed potatoes. Such comfort food! The French Dip on pressed garlic bread was the star of the meal! It is made with shaved prime rib, and the au jus was delicious! We felt like the prices were reasonable for what we got, and that the quality was perfect. Overall, such a great visit and can't wait to go back!

Excellent service! Delicious food! Cozy atmosphere! The collard greens are delicious!

It just gets better with time. A Flagler tradition continues to delight under its new owner (Mike Crave?). The team at Crave's delivered for our Saturday stay in Flagler Beach on a busy Saturday night. Fantastic service from Charlie, very reasonably priced and great wine (not 3x like many others), and a blackened triple tail with blackened shrimp and Cajun sauce special that should be on the permanent menu. The owner came by to inquire about our experience and food and really listened to our feedback and asked great questions. My wife's family has been coming here since it was Martin's (maybe 30+ years?) and although the famous prime rib is still on the menu, the chef and owner really have continued to innovate and make Crave's a real treat when visiting the area. If great food, wine, and service with a view of the beach is what you're looking for you've found the place.

Great meal at Craves!We got there shortly before 5 for an early dinner and glad we did because they got full quickly.I had the prime rib which was seasoned and cooked beautifully. I am kind of picky on prime rib but this was delicious! It was a thick cut but not over cooked. I opted for broccoli as the salad. It was not bad, but nothing standout. I added a house salad with the house vinaigrette and it was great! I like my vinaigrette a little tangier than normal and this was great! Wife had a cheeseburger which she said was good and the kiddo had chicken tenders and fries which looked good.Wonderful service by Lori Ann! We will certainly be back!They do appreciate cash as opposed to cards and using cash does get you a discount.

Consistently awesome! The crab legs night is one of my favorite, although I might actually like the potato even more than the crab!! And wine from Washington??? Perfect added touch.
