Sioux Falls

About the restaurant

Riccardo was born in Florence, Italy and grew up in Boston, MA. Marybeth, a Sioux Falls native, ventured to the east coast as a nanny and then nursing school in Somerville, MA. The two met, fell in love, and became engaged on Martha’s Vineyard island. Moving back to Sioux Falls in 1999 and working at several area restaurants, they opened R Wine Bar in 2018. As owners of R Wine Bar, Riccardo and Marybeth are passionate about one thing: people. They believe that people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. With a curated wine list, local craft beer on tap, and beautifully executed menu, Riccardo and Marybeth are thrilled to bring R Wine Bar & Kitchen to the East Bank of Downtown Sioux Falls along with their General Manager Jane Allen, Assistant Manager Bailey Bernal, Executive Chef Cesar Vivas, and Sous Chef Carlos Chanquin.

Our server, Oliver, was amazing. The relish tray was spectacular. Definitely recommend ordering that if you have a group of 2 to 4. It's a lot. Manager Brandon was nice enough to visit with us for a little bit. Always enjoy our visits to Ironwood

We had our first date at Crave 3 years ago and it’s now tradition to go on our anniversary. Every time the food has been delicious and filling and the staff is very welcoming. We just went for our 3rd anniversary, today. I had the Salmon Poke Bowl and my boyfriend had the baked Mac and cheese with crispy chicken. We both had leftovers! We will be going for years to come.

Sioux Falls

About the restaurant

Situated in beautiful historic downtown Sioux Falls: surround yourself with century old quartzite and brick walls, funky & energetic ambiance, tempting & flavorful dishes, innovative cocktails and an extensive wine & beer list. Take notice of our namesake as you are stepping over the threshold, the original 1963 Crawford's logo is still there.

The decor unabashedly integrates masculine and feminine: wild west meets gypsy...from the cowhide paneled bar, quartzite bar top, iron railroad track footrest and reclaimed wood tables to the vintage tiles, jeweled wallpaper, Moroccan chandeliers and antique Indian columns ...no detail is left untouched. The same holds true for the food: from your prime cut of steak to the wild-caught salmon, every element is carefully considered.

Excellent dinner and cocktail menu, full bar, 58" LED TVs and fireplace.

We got to the restaurant a little before 6pm (which happens to be the cutoff time for 1/2 price appetizers). Our waiter was quick to take out appetizer order so we could get the discount. It was also Burger night and the burgers were very good.
