Want to impress your epicurious arm candy with a bustling Gaslamp-vibe,
but lack the patience and funds? Hillcrest
hears your cry and has delivered the terminally hip solution. Crush, the
perfect blend of intimacy and class with an edgy flair. The ambiance balances
fine wine, chic art and gourmet cuisine with jazz beats, bold energy and subtle
lighting.
Don't worry novice, Crush allows no ostentation when it comes to wine.
Freely peruse the selection of boutique and esoteric wineries as well as
international vineyards to quench your date's thirst. Crush boasts fifty wines
by the glass, ranging in price from $5 to $12 (compare that to your Gaslamp
bar tab!) Whether you prefer red or white, you two will look fabulously
chic sipping your pick in the striking azure atmosphere. Check it out for
yourself—an oversized mirror hangs amidst the deep blue. And although
conversation may have been rocky with your first crush, the atmosphere in Crush
beams with communicative potential.
Crush adds a spicy kick to familiar American favorites with ethnic flavors
and prep methods. The small plates served tapas-style are gourmet-to-the-tee,
but still function as funky, fun and completely non-intimidating. Just in case
your mental image is thrusting you down Market Street, remember– no Gaslamp, no
lines, no drama, all Hillcrest.
