CRAVE Food & Drink Sioux City

Highly recommend! My MIL treated my husband and I to Christmas Eve dinner at Crave. I am a person that definitely checks out a menu before visiting a new restaurant and it was hard to choose. I opted for the 3 for $39 meal. I chose the brussel sprouts, the steak frites, and then a slice of tiramisu. My husband ordered the Ginger Chilean Sea Bass and also ordered a side of Lobster Mashed Potatoes. The sea bass was cooked perfectly and those lobster mashed potatoes were phenomenal. I live in Arizona and I can't stop thinking about the brussel sprouts and the lobster mashed potatoes. My MIL ordered the Chicken Stir Fry. The chicken was tender and the best I stir fry I have ever had. Definitely will be a must visit when we make it back to Sioux City again. Next time, we will need to try some sushi. Thank you for an amazing Christmas Eve 2025. I am sorry I didn't get photos of food.

Love, love, loved the food! The waiter on the other hand left something to be desired...we were there forever before he even came to our table. The hostess actually came back to check in on us because we were left so long. Once the food arrived it totally made up for the wait.

This is my second time trying Craves and the food was as delicious as I remembered it. This time I ordered take out; the pink Panther Sushi roll. Delish! Editing for 3rd time visit: braised ribs, Thai steak, more sushi, firecracker shrim, tiramisu and brownie

Beautiful view of the Missouri River while you enjoy your meal, food is excellent and the staff is very helpful. Got the pleasure of watching a Bald Eagle fly in and grab something out of the river and fly off while eating!

Staying at Hilton Gardens and had cocktails and dinner at Crave tonight. Sat outside looking over the riverfront. Started with drinks- Angry Dragon Martini, Raspberry Ginger Gimblet and Crave Smoked Manhattan. All really good. Spinach Artichoke Dip, Sausage Ricotta Flatbread, Truffle Fries, Steak Frites, Tuna Poke Bowl, Truffle Mushroom Spaghetti and Rigatoni with Vodka Sauce. All the options were generous portions and delicious. We had the nicest server. I think she was fairly new, but she took such good care of us. Thank you!

OK… I’m not really sure where I should begin to tell you all the reasons why I think Crave is one of the best restaurants in Sioux City. Its location is pretty great. It is on the river with a beautiful view, patio when it’s nice, floor to ceiling windows when it’s not, ample parking, connected to a hotel, and not difficult to find. The staff is friendly and professional, the menu is extensive, and not only has great sushi, but also fabulous entrées, if seafood isn’t your thing. I also appreciate that they have an entire gluten-free menu, vegetarian options, and a mocktail list to go with their fabulous cocktails. I’m not even going to try to tell you all the different food you should try here because it depends on your tastes and there’s plenty to choose from. However, there’s smoked Manhattan (pictured here) is pretty exceptional. I actually like getting it without the smoke, but if you like a smoky cocktail, the presentation is fabulous. It’s a little spendy, but the ingredients are superb. Oh and did I mention that they have a happy hour…

Came to this restaurant with a pretty large group (seven people). We made a reservation ahead of time so they were able to seat us within a few minutes of us arriving. Service was alright — friendly, but not very detail-oriented. They gave us one drink menu and one restaurant week menu despite the relatively large number of people in our party. There were plenty of food options, ranging from sushi, salads, and poke bowls to burgers, pasta, and steak. Portion sizes were large both for appetizers and entrees. Presentation was good. The food itself was alright. Nothing too adventurous or unique, but still generally satisfying. I tried the tiramisu for dessert. It was from the restaurant week menu, so it was smaller than it would be if we’d ordered it from the normal menu, but it was literally four bites. It was so delicious, though. The drink menu was relatively extensive, with some fun cocktail options and plenty of mocktail options. I tried the prohibition tonic mocktail and it was light and refreshing. In terms of vibe/ambiance/aesthetic, this place was alright. The restaurant itself does quite a bit to make it feel like a more high end dining experience, but it’s unfortunately diminished by the fact that most people were there in very casual clothes, like sweats. We ate inside, but the restaurant has an absolutely beautiful view of the river and I would definitely recommend requesting patio seating if the weather is good.
