"A crescendo is a musical passage that rises to a peak.
There were several peak experiences during our dinner at
Crescendo...[Their] wine list is impressive: extensive, reasonably
priced and intelligently annotated. Crescendo in Albert Lea is
well worth the drive."
   -Extracted from a review by Minneapolis Star Tribune
           Food editor, Jeremy Iggers

Featured as one of six roadworthy restaurants worth travelling to visit within the entire state of Minnesota, "Crescendo takes advantage of local produce, and the oft changing menus tend to 'chase the seasons.' There is no doubt the dining experience at Crescendo builds to a peak late in the evening when Tewes has finished cooking and plays the grand piano."
           Minnesota Monthy Magazine,
   Currently listed as an Editor's Choice Restaurant

Currently featured as the recommended dining spot in Albert Lea in the Moon Travel Handbook of Minnesota as "one of the biggest surprises in all of Minnesota is Crescendo...a trendy gourmet bistro with a Mediterranean menu and a decor right out of Greenwich Village." Extracted from Moon Handooks, Minnesota: The Cure for the Common Trip (www.moon.com)
    "America's finest travel guidebook series...extensively researched, engagingly written,
intelligently indexed, and packed with helpful maps and sidebars." --Money Magazine

Voted a Best of Citysearch.com restaurant
