"On Saturday night we went to another restaurant we had never visited before. I had heard some good things about this place, so we pulled the trigger and drove to Hampton to CR's The Restaurant(Pic 1). You are located directly at I-95 on Rte 27. Drive until and then to the restaurant leave us with the impression and promise of things to come. After we set ourselves on our table, we started to look over the menu. A few minutes later, our waitress Anne stopped and introduced herself and told us about the specials of the evening. For an appetizer, my wife ordered the Sweet Potato Stew(Pic 2). This was made with sweet potatoes, black-eyed peas, chorizo and kale. She loved this app. It had a light kick, was tasty and delicious. I ordered the Beet Salad(Pic 3). It was loaded with fresh water cresss, red and golden beds, dried cherries, shaved red onion, sunflower seeds and a refreshing goat cheese Vinaiigrette. Wow, that was a wonderful salad and big enough for two to share what I didn't do. It had great taste and the cherries added beautiful depth to the dish. I would definitely order it again. For dinner, my wife ordered the Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken (Pic 4). This was a really big salad, the romaine salad, croutons, gurke and their own homemade dressing. The chicken was moist and delicate and perfectly grilled. For my dinner selection I chose the Mediterranean Shrimp(Pic 5). The dish included 6 large shrimps, which were boiled in a white wine lemon broth with mixed olive oil, capers, garlic, spinach and spaghetti. I sat every bite of this plate. This dish had so much taste!!! What I loved is that when I was done, there were hardly any broth. It wasn't groundy, it looked more like an engraving. I've had dishes swimming in broth. This dish was perfect and I was sad that it was gone. Anne asked us about Dessert and we said yes. She brought us the Dessert menu and Decaf coffee. We chose the Tuxedo Mousse(Pic 6). As you can see, there is a white chocolate mousse on the bottom, then a dark chocolate mousse over it and then with a thick chocolate goose. On the side a puppet sweater was blown with Cacao-Nips. OMG!!! I'm glad we share that. Holy cow, that was Sssoo good. The mousse was light, but with taste and the goose was rich. This was a decadent dessert and a suitable way to finish a beautiful evening. CR's The restaurant has not disappointed and the promise we felt on arrival was delivered to spades. Your menu is extensive and the food is as good as the restaurant looks. It's beautiful inside and out. The service Anne provided us was impeccable. We will definitely make the trip to Hampton again to taste other dishes. If you have not been, you might want to consider adding this jewel to your list. Go!"
