CR's The Restaurant

The food was good! We had dinner at the bar. The bartender was not too friendly. We had to ask for everything a couple times. It is a happening place. They offer many gluten free food. The flavors were great! It is not too close to the beach. It was pretty busy on a weekend. I would recommend to make a reservation. They have an outdoor patio as well.

Saturday night's date night brought us to yet another restaurant we had never been to before. I had heard some good things about this place, so we pulled the trigger and drove down to Hampton to CR's The Restaurant(Pic 1). They are located just off I-95 on Rte 27. Driving up to and then entering the restaurant left us with quite the impression and the promise of things to come. After being seated at our table, we began looking over the menu. A few minutes later our waitress Anne stopped by and introduced herself and told us about the evening's specials. For an appetizer, my wife ordered the Sweet Potato Stew(Pic 2). This was made with sweet potato, black-eyed peas, chorizo and kale. She just loved this app. It had a slight kick, was savory and delicious. I ordered the Beet Salad(Pic 3). It was loaded with fresh watercress, red and golden beets, dried cherries, shaved red onion, sunflower seeds and a refreshing goat cheese vinaigrette. Wow, this was a wonderful salad and big enough for 2 to share, which I didn't. It had great flavor and the cherries added nice depth to the dish. I would definitely order it again. For dinner, my wife ordered the Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken (Pic 4). This was a really big salad that included romaine lettuce, croutons, cucumber and their own house-made dressing. The chicken was moist and tender and grilled perfectly. For my dinner selection, I chose the Mediterranean Shrimp(Pic 5). The dish included 6 large shrimp sautéed in a white wine lemon broth with mixed olive, capers, garlic, spinach and spaghetti. I savored every bite of this dish. This dish had so much flavor!!! What I loved, is that when I was finished, there was hardly any broth left. It wasn't runny, it instead looked more like a gravy. I've had dishes that were swimming in broth before. This dish was perfect and I was sad it was gone. Anne asked us about dessert and we said yes. She brought us the dessert menu and decaf coffee. We decided on the Tuxedo Mousse(Pic 6). As you can see, there is a white chocolate mousse on the bottom, then a dark chocolate mousse above that and then topped with a thick chocolate ganache. On the side was a dollop of whipped cream sprinkled with cacao nips. OMG!!! It's a good thing we split that. Holy cow, this was sssoooo good. The mousse was light but teeming with flavor and the ganache was rich. This was a decadent dessert and a fitting way to end a lovely evening. CR's The Restaurant didn't disappoint and the promise we felt upon arrival was delivered in spades. Their menu is extensive and the food is as good as the restaurant looks. It's beautiful inside and out. The service Anne provided us was impeccable. We will definitely make the drive to Hampton again to try other dishes. If you haven't been, you may want to consider adding this gem to your list. Dine on!

Great experience. The restaurant has a really nice atmosphere, with a nice bar area (with a fireplace) and dining area. We thought the decor and lights were very nice. The food and cocktails were delicious. Service was excellent, also. There was a great duo singing, adding to a lively atmosphere. We'll be back!

Found this hidden gem by accident while searching for dinner on the ride to Maine. Loved the ambience especially the bar. Friendly staffs. Wide selections of drinks. Had the Seared Rare Tuna and it was amazing!! Served with some tasty veggies and sweet potato. Couldn’t have asked for a better dinner meal.
