Yelp is my go to guide for night out on the town as well as for the latest/greatest place to dine.\n\nLooking for a dessert place after a meeting and wanted to stay around the Uptown area. Yelper's wrote about Crave and some of the pictures just made my mouth water. As we headed to Crave, the place was closed for an event/party and the hostess said come back by 8 PM place will be available to the public. I was so bummed at first and thought so what do I do? The urges for sweets is just killing me. Hostess mentioned there are eateries on Church street or come back at 8 PM. \n\nSo from 6:30 PM we walked all the way over to Church Street then over to South Tryon Street. Beautiful weather and evening to walk around Uptown. The streets were lit up with festive lights and Christmas decorations so pretty. The Santa Bar Crawl was happening and it was so cool to see participants decked out in their holiday outfits.\n\nBack in front of Crave at 8 PM and we got a table. OMG!!! This place reminds me of NYC. Trendy, chic and colorful place with art work hung up promoting local artists and ready to be sold. I just love this place. Two tables next to us filled with Hookah smokers. Brings back memories of my trip to Egypt and North Africa. \n\nGreat service. Young waitresses/hostess all dressed in red dress just like the red logo Crave. Rich vibrant red colors in the decor too.\n\nWent for the Candied Bacon Ice Cream Cookie and the Pb & c layer cake.\n\nThe candied bacon is out of this world with ice cream. This dessert is so over powering. Eat everything else on your plate first and leave the Candied Bacon Ice Cream Cookie last. Save the best for last as the saying goes. \n\nThe Pb&c layer cake- The Peanut Butter Mousse with Grand Marnier. It's rich and buttery.\n\nCappuccino to wash it all down. What a delightful place.\n\nWill be back for the sinful drinks and their Happy Hour.\n\nPerfect place to take a date. Just to unwind and have decadent dessert to treat yourself or getting away after a long day at work.
