Crush Chico Reviews
Crush is our favorite spot for date night. me and my wife love the Churro bread pudding, so please bring it back:)
Nice experience at Crush, my first time. Lots of happy hour crowd. Thins a bit at 6pm, then is still busy but not swamped. Went on a Friday night. The food was very good. Portions good sized and the food was generously topped. The drinks were good. Somewhat sporadic in quality during the happy hour rush. But, easily said, they know how to mix whatever your pleasure. Definitely putting Crush on my "go to" list.
Our server, Katie, was very impressive. Professional, personable and accommodating. My brother wanted to split a Wedge salad(who does that?), but she made it happen. Katie has a wealth of knowledge on their wines, cocktails and menu. All of which made for a great dining experience. My compliments to the chef, all the staff and especially, Katie👏
Originally from Long Island, New York, I’m a lifelong lover of Italian food, and it’s a rarity to find a place out here that truly hits home. Crush does it every time. My daughter goes to Chico State, and when I visit, this is our spot. Crush has become our mom-daughter date night go-to, and we’re never disappointed. The atmosphere is warm, the service is attentive, and the food is consistently delicious. The bruschetta is our absolute favorite — fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. Cheers!
Wasn't sure if this place would live up to the hype. I was very happy that it did. Arrived ten minutes before happy hour ended. Most places won't even bother to offer it to at that point but the server at the bar made sure we knew so we could get in an order before it closed off. Drinks were excellent. Gorgonzola salad was excellent. Crush pizza was excellent. Dessert was excellent. Price to food value was excellent.
This is definitely a great place for any small celebration. I suggest the fig and prosciutto pizza, which was really good, with gorgonzola and scallion. My wife had the ricotta gnocchi, which had a truffle cream sauce that was also very good. We liked the truffle fries and garlic aioli. Overall everyone in our group liked their options and the dish they chose. The plate art on the oil and vinegar dip was very cute. The Christmas decorations were a very nice touch as well, it made the place feel very cozy.
My first time at Crush, but won't be my last. A friend and I went for a casual dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Our waiter (didn't catch his name) was fantastic. The roasted brussels sprouts were amazing and a must try!! We also had the gnocchi with chicken and the sausage lasagna. The bread with dipping sauce was also delicious.
Very excellent staff, food, drinks. Loved all of it. We had the impressive bruschetta, chicken picatta, berry moscow mule, pizza. All of it was top notch. Chico over here surprising me. Keep it up! This will be my new fave place to come. Thank you, Crush for finding us a table when we were starving!!
My happy place! I have never been disappointed at Crush and yesterday evening was no differant. Shawn was are waiter and he could not have done a better job if he had a super hero cape on. Even gave me a tech tip. We started with a couple french 75s, cold and perfect. We ordered the bruschetta, I was so pleased with the cold pesto and creamy mozzarella on golden toasted bread. Julian was throwing pizzas, I love a hand tossed pie and there is not a lot of places in town that do it. This guy was amazing. We tried the BLT pizza, it wasnt your typical Italian pie but it was delicious and perfectly done. Next came the carpaccio, Crush changed the recipe a bit a while back added capers, those capers oh my goodness! I ordered a few green olives from Shawn just because I like them on the carpaccio. Chuck was the cook and we watched him magically plate several mouth watering salads. Before we left this magic land of food, Josh the manager stopped by to say thanks for eating with them. If you want exceptional food and service in a great atmosphere this is your place.
Loved being on the patio outside at night, especially during the Farmers’ Market fun! The food was worth the return and the drinks make it a sure thing the next time I am in town. My friend and I had a wonderful time here. While the host was sub-par, our server was polite and helpful. Give it a go for sure!
Been here in Chico about 7 years and never been here. What was I doing. Amazing restaurant. Great ambiance and stellar customers service. The filet was amazing....better than 5th Street. I would have given a 5 stars but the Tiramisu wasn't exactly what we expected. Everything else was great. We had a reservation and sure helped get seated quickly.
Good not great. When they have French onion soup it’s great and their stroganoff is good to great depending on when you get it. Love the cheese garlic bread. I’ve tried a handful of other things and been underwhelmed. Still my second choice for Italian food in town. Service and atmosphere are nice.
The Caesar salad was perfect as usual. I always add shrimp. This time I ordered the garlic cheese bread. It was awful! I expected melty cheese and garlic. Instead I received bread with a very strong Gorgonzola paste. No melty cheese at all.
Went here for an anniversary, on a slow day, server even asked if we were celebrating anything and we said yes and why and then didn't even get bread. Ordered the 6 hour Bolognese, which was just flavorless. Also had the margarita pizza which was oily and just gross. Not with the prices or the hype.
After a laughably bad experience here a couple of years ago, my wife and I ventured in tonight to give them another shot. The first table we were seated at, we were being splashed by their water feature. We requested another table and while their faces told us they thought we should stick it out in the splash zone, they moved us. At 5:30 we were seated at our new table. We perused the menu and decided on drinks and apps but unfortunately never got to order. Despite 4 or so different waiters walking by, our table seemed to be unclaimed. Knowing this meal would cost close to $150, we decided to cut our losses after being ignored for 20 minutes. On the way out, my wife politely let the staff at the host stand know that we have been waiting for 20 minutes with no one stopping by our table for a drink order and we were going to just go ahead and leave. Both staff members stared at us blankly and never came up with a response of any kind- good or bad. This was almost identical to the service we received on our first visit in 2023, but that time we were inexperienced with what was to come and sat through an excruciating 2.5 hour long experience filled with wrong drinks and food and almost nonexistent service. Do your self a favor and go anywhere else.
