Crush Ultra Lounge

Was staying at the attached resort.  Needed a place to go hang out after everything closes, so my wife and I hung out here.  Def a bit pricey but food was decent.  Got mostly appetizers and drinks.  Fries were the star of the show.  Had Marissa as a waitress.  She made the experience great, super friendly and attentive.  Ask for her if you plan on getting a few drinks.

On a whim one dreary afternoon we checked out the Crush Ultra Lounge. What a great surprise! The martini menu is great, the food is excellent ( burger w/ blue cheese; crab salad; & a reuben were ALL perfect!) the prices very reasonable.  Was surprised to see all the local deals/offers for bowling and happy hour - we WILL be going back! Only down note...service was very friendly but really, really slow.

Crush is built into the Meritage, which is kind of a weird place. However, Crush was a highlight of the Meritage experience. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. I had a great burger and great fries. Crush is pretty noisy, as they have a built-in bowling alley. While the idea of a high-end bar with a bowling alley might be novel (for California); it's not cheap.
However, after a few days of meetings..it was a great place to get away, grab a burger and a glass of wine and read a book.
While this place is kind of an insta-resort...Crush isn't bad.
