We had a wonderful evening at Craft to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday. Service was attentive from the moment we arrived, and all of the dishes we ordered were fantastic. Highly recommend the duck, the aligot potatoes with Comte cheese, the hen of the woods mushroom side dish, and all of the desserts. We can’t wait to return.

Amazing holiday classic! The decor is just amazing- beautifully decorated for the holidays. The food was equally amazing. We had the tomahawk steak special with three included sides. The steak was delicious and perfectly cooked. The lobster Mac and cheese and vegetables were delicious and the presentation was worthy of photos which didn’t do it justice. The service was friendly but efficient. We will be back.
