Our mission is to achieve such distinction in food and wine, service, atmosphere, and setting that the restaurant gains a first class reputation for gastronomy and gracious hospitality which will bring new and repeat customers year after year. We strive to have every customer who walks through the doors of Crave to have an overall dining "experience" and leave impressed with the seasonal and regionally inspired menus and chic decor that they will be excited to return again. Edward Kowalski, alumni of the Culinary Institute of America, aim to make Crave the most exciting restaurant in Poughkeepsie.
