Crush Xi

I went for Happy hour on a Tuesday. When I got to the restaurant, I noticed the bar area was practically empty and was able to pick any seat from the bar. I really like the decore of the restaurant. The bar chairs are comfortable and the art work on the wall is cool. I ordered 3 items from the happy hour that runs til 6pm. I ordered the crispy salmon, bacon wrapped dates and the honey truffle chicken tenders. I also got a ginger lemonade with a piece of candied ginger to wash down the food. All of the food was presented very nicely and the portion sides were very reasonable considering it's happy hour. Food: the salmon was a very interesting dish. It had pickles, arugula and a bbq sauce. The salmon was fresh and the ride was crispy. However the dish was a little salty for me. Still a good dish but my least favorite of the three. My 2nd favorite fish was the honey truffle chicken tenders. The chicken was savory and juicy and had a great crunch. My favorite dish by far was the stuffed dates. This dish is incredible its sweet, salty, smokey. It's unbelievable. They stuff dates with cheese wrap it in bacon and pair that with grilled pineapple. The portion size of this dish is the smallest but each bite packs a punch. They rest of the menu looked great. I would definitely be back if in the area.

A quaint and eclectic restaurant with a varied and well put together menu. Atmosphere was friendly and vibrant with superbly clean surroundings. Service was outstanding and we were well taken care of from the greeting to the food and drink service. Overall the food was well prepared, tasty and delicious and well worth the money spent. We will definitely return.

This place was recommended to me by a friend. WOW! The first time we went was for brunch and the second time for dinner. Both experiences were absolutely amazing in terms of food, drinks, and service. For brunch I got the brunch burger, and for dinner I got the salmon. I love that they even have gluten free buns and gluten free pasta available! I got the serrano blackberry margarita both times which was amazing!!! I have nothing negative to say about this place, I will definitely be coming back here for special occasions and any time I want to celebrate something. 😊

Passing through downtown Melbourne last night, and we randomly picked Crush XI for dinner because they had outside seating for the dog. We were thoroughly impressed and pleasantly surprised! The food and cocktails were delicious and inventive, the service was amazing, and the atmosphere was beautiful. Will definitely be coming back to downtown Melbourne to visit this place again! Highly recommend Reece as a server- he’s was phenomenal!!! Very informative, nice, and made great recommendations. Ummm and that carrot cake ice crease was to die for!!

This was our first time here. Lovely environment, Brian the manager was nice enough to take me around the restaurant. Nichole was our waitress. She was great and very knowledgeable. The food was amazing. I probably wouldn't order the sourdough bread again. The first one was burnt and then the remake was like a blob of oil. Prices are reasonable, cocktails are good. I will definitely be coming back with friends and family. An all around fantastic experience.

Truly exceptional. I literally cannot say enough good things about this place. They made us feel so special and the service was amazing. We never once ran out of water or had to ask for anything, they already had thought of it. The drinks were well mixed, creative, and fun. I tried the blue cheese stuffed olives from the dirty martini and they were so tasty. We got the honey chicken tender app and the date and goat cheese stuffed bacon with grilled pineapple. I have never tasted such exceptional flavors. We were so blown away by how fresh and creative the food was. I got the mushroom chicken and artichoke feticini Alfredo and you could 100% taste that the sauce was homemade. I'm so excited for the leftovers. We also got this lil cake with popcorn for dessert. The textures were insane. Definitely a talented chef that works here. I love the atmosphere service and food so much I can't wait to go back. Easily one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in my entire life. I'm so happy we found about about this cute little place in Melbourne.
