Solid place! The staff was very attentive. The menu was interesting and tasty. The quinoa with beets was a hit. I had the Soba Crepes with Beets. Incredibly tasty and not heavy. more

Our quick take is that the food was worth every penny. My husband had the baby octopus appetizer and the halibut entree. I had a ravioli to start, followed by the pork tenderloin. All were well-prepared with distinct and memorable flavor. Portions are on the small size of medium, yet I wasn't hungry for dessert, possibly because I ate two... more

Service--impeccable. Food--mmm, wish I could go there again tonight. Creative flavor combinations that all worked together. Standouts included the wild mushroom appetizer, the quail appetizer, the quinoa-corn johnnycakes. From start to... more

We shared an appetizer of wild mushrooms which was outstanding. I had the scallops and my husband had... more

I took a group of customers here that were attending a large convention in Chicago. I had heard wonderful things about Crofton on Wells. The hostess was rude on the phone when we confirmed that 2 extra people would be dining. We were told they could not be accommodated. When we suggested adding 2 chairs (we didn't mind the tight... more
