" A wonderful dining experience at Petit Crenn! The food was delicious, especially the innovative lobster dish that melted in my mouth. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The ambiance was perfect for intimate dining. I would recommend it for anyone who appreciates a connection to their food and fine dining as it feels so exceedingly homely yet elevated! " (*Curated Review*)

" We made a last-minute reservation at Petit Crenn and were lucky to get a spot at the chef’s counter. Watching the chefs at work was an experience in itself. The food was definitely on the finer side, with elements like the grilled fish leaving a lasting impression with its freshness. However, I felt that some of the non-seafood options were overshadowed and could benefit from more exciting flavors. Overall, a lovely place for seafood enthusiasts! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Petit Crenn and was impressed by the freshness of the ingredients used. The elegant simplicity in the presentation reflected the chef's background beautifully. One of the standout dishes was the kampachi crudo which was just divine. However, the lane service felt a bit off during peak hours. Still, I plan to return and try the chef’s other creations.

" A fantastic dining experience at Petit Crenn! My partner and I had the prix fixe menu, which was a delightful surprise with every course. The sommelier paired wines that enhanced our meal beautifully. The ambiance made it feel intimate and perfect for our date night. My only critique would be the lack of substantial portion sizes; I left still feeling a hint hungry. However, I appreciate the artistry and technique behind each dish. I would recommend choosing multiple courses if you're especially hungry. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was impressive, especially the vegetarian options that were bursting with flavor, my server seemed a bit overworked and the service lagged at times. Still, the atmosphere was so inviting, and the modern decor was refreshing. I particularly enjoyed the ambience created by the cooking displayed at the counter. I'd love to return, but I hope for a more synchronized service on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)
