    The Krebs was a great place for Easter brunch. Lots of choices on the menu. Wait staff was professional and very attentive. Despite the fact that it was busy, our meal arrived in a good amount of time. It’s a beautiful restaurant and very pleasurable experience.

    Amazing ambience! Chef prepared our food to perfection. Service was superb! I love that the chefs were going for it, taking risks with some dishes. Though, not all of the combinations worked for me personally with the soup and dessert specials on 4/17. I can really appreciate the willingness to be different and more interesting. I would definitely go back.

    Chopped salad tasted freezer-burnt (not sure how that’s possible - maybe they are freezing one of the toppings). Almond cake was also freezer-burnt. I couldn’t finish either due to the flavor. The ambience was spectacular but I honestly don’t think I would ever plan to eat here again. Disturbing and disappointing.

    We had a wonderful dining experience by the fireplace! The food was excellent and service outstanding. The carrot ginger soup and lamb chops exceeded our expectations! We love The Krebs 1899😀

    This was our second visit to The Krebs and it did not disappoint! Erica was our server for the evening, and she was phenomenal. She was warm, funny and just made the night even better. The food was delicious and amazing. Our sommelier, Carter was fantastic with his suggestion for our wine selection for the evening. Thank you for a wonderful evening!
