"Recently featured again in the November 2009 of Where to Eat Now in the 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 Monthly Magazine

 

"Featured on a recent episode of "Cities on the Move" 

- TV segments of KSMQ- TV.

 

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."
