    Chefs Andre and Josh presented a wonderful "Christmas Around the World" menu. From the duck tamales to the prime rib, everything was perfectly prepared. Our servers, Makenzie and Ben, kept the food and drinks coming to our large family party. This was a memorable night.

    Fantastic happy hour menu and prices, including food and drink. The happy hour cocktails were delicious and not just run of the mill. The wood-fired oven is there for all to see (and generate heat) and put out great charred New Haven style pizza. As a pizza snob, I was very impressed. With the happy hour start that we had, the dinner was unbelievably affordable. The place has a nice vibe, and as it filled up, so did the noise level. The interior is largely wood - walls, floors, and tables all made from a similar wood, allowing sound to bounce across the room. The place felt vibrant! I will absolutely be back at Krust.
