Festivore ChoiceOur Comments
Upstairs in this big, old restored house is a nice palette of white tables and dark stained wood. Downstairs is more clean-lines stark white with a bar at the entrance. The design is unique, as though it can’t decide whether to be urban-modern or cozy old-world. Everywhere the food is crafted by perfectionist chef Jason Wilson with a focus on great ingredients.
Outdoor tables: terrace (weather permitting)

From the Restaurant Site...
Nicole Wilson first envisioned the Tudor house at Madison and 23rd. She imagined lively rooms blending together, people milling in the foyer, energy flowing from the terrace, along the floating bar and into the main dining room as well as throughout the second floor seating. We designed the ambience to convey our menu to the forefront of your experience. Shelley Buurman’s interior design combines the crisp Verner Panton furniture with the warmth of chocolate trim. The room is at once a blank canvas for the kitchen’s creations and a rich enclosure for intimate dining.
Every evening you visit offers a fresh surprise, coupled with an ideal wine culled from our expansive wine list.
Crush revolves around our food. Chef Jason Wilson selects the region’s finest ingredients each day to create his Modern Northwest Cuisine. His musings tempt our eyes and seduce our palates. The Crush menu migrates through the seasons, with food procured from local, artisanal producers.
Our use of local farmers, producers and artisan purveyors gives us access to some of the freshest ingredients of the highest quality. We focus on supporting those growers that maintain sustainable and organic practices as we feel it keeps a closer connection to the food we serve.
Crush selects our wine list to reflect our belief in small wine makers dedicated to crafting the finest wine available. Our Wine Director explores every potential wine to determine suitable pairing with our diverse menu and works as closely with Chef Jason Wilson to anticipate trends as seasons change and the menu evolves.
