“I'll jump the plot to say, if you value excellent atmosphere, service and food, then Credence is for you. The atmosphere is really nice. Elegant, vaulted ceilings, Texas themed details throughout and beautifully set tables. Lively, but the space allowed us to enjoy our conversation without having to be loud. We enjoyed having two servers take care of us. Professional and fun! We never had to look around or ask for a thing, they were so attentive. If you like crab, the deviled crab appetizer is a must! We ordered a flat iron and a filet cooked medium rare and they were perfect. The crab fried rice also perfect. The citrus creme brûlée for desert was a unique and delicious offering, as was the coconut cream pie. But...they lost our leftovers!! Sent them home with another table. Bummer!! Unasked, they cooked us an entire new meal to take home! Who does that? Credence has already won a Michelin award for service. Go see them and you'll understand why. We can't wait to go back!”
“From the food to the attention to detail and the attentiveness of the staff, I can honestly say this place was amazing. I took my friend here for his birthday, and we absolutely enjoyed every single thing they had to offer. The icing on the cake for me was when the staff gave my friend a signed birthday card from the entire team that truly became the highlight of the night. It was such a thoughtful and personal touch that made the experience even more special. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Easily a 10/10 experience, and I’ll absolutely be back.”
“After hearing non stop great things about Credence from friends and on social media, we finally went for dinner the other night to celebrate my birthday with some friends. The dining room is chic and feels very upscale but comfortable with a large open fire kitchen that was really fun to watch while dining. They were very on top of service with both our dining captain and waiter checking on us throughout the evening. For appetizers we ordered the deviled crabs, tuna tostada and wood roasted carrots. All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides. Everyone was very happy with both their main courses and the side dishes. We were too stuffed to order dessert but they sent out a s’mores inspired sunday for my birthday which was both thoughtful and sublime. Overall we were very impressed with our meal. Food was delicious but veeeery indulgent. We will be back.”
“Credence delivers a high-caliber dining experience that hits every mark. We started with the Tom Collins, which was crisp, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. The standout of the meal was the Deviled Crabs appetizer. They were exceptional rich, flavorful, and easily the highlight of the starters. For the main course, we shared the Caesar Salad with Shrimp and the Market Fish, which was Bass. The shrimp were grilled to a perfect char, and the bass was delicate and expertly prepared. From the attentive service to the quality of the kitchen, everything was excellent. Credence is a top-tier choice for a polished lunch.”
“Credence is one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants, so I was thrilled when my boyfriend chose to come here for his birthday dinner. We started with the Pan de Campo and burrata—both were exceptional. I especially loved building my own slice of flatbread with all the delicious toppings! We caught the tail end of their fall menu before the release of their spring menu, which made the experience feel even more special. I ordered the heritage half-chicken with cornbread gnocchi and mushrooms in a flavorful sauce— so good. Of course, we had to order the french fry service! The birthday boy went with the steak and the team also surprised him with a chocolate cake! To finish, we couldn’t resist the buttermilk soft serve and the coconut cream pie—both were outstanding. Our servers, Zach and Christian, were fantastic—knowledgeable, attentive, and super helpful in guiding our decisions throughout the meal. Thank you both for such a wonderful experience. We will be back soon!”
