I carefully read through so many reviews before choosing to try Crudo.   I find that I disagree with most of them.  The best thing about the entire evening was the mosaic created on a wall with old painted window shutters.  We started with the albacore for an appetizer.  Delicious but severely overpriced.  I get that it is an appetizer so it does not need to be a substantial serving, but if I am going to be served less than half an ounce, don't charge me $12.  Also, the garnishes were lovely but so tiny that it wasn't really possible to enjoy any flavor.  My main dish was the brisket. . . . I have created more flavorful versions in my crockpot.   It was extremely fatty. . . Enough so that I had keep surreptitiously slipping bits of fat out of my mouth to set aside in the plate.  The polenta was tasteless.  Actually, polenta is pretty much always tasteless.  It is what you do with it that can make it a pleasure to consume.  They did nothing with it.  Think mush.  I left very hungry. My companion had the squid ink risotto.  He enjoyed it but said he has had much better.  I tasted it and found it had too much heat for the delicate flavors it was combined with.  If I had originally chosen to have the three course meals ($35) or the four course ($45), I probably would have complained about what I got for my money.  It was seriously disappointing.  All smoke and mirrors, and not enough substance.  We will not be returning.
