Craft

The hospitality and the staff is outstanding there, craft have a great collection for anyone who loves wine. They also have a variety of cocktails and mock tails there, it’s was my boyfriends birthday and when I called them to tell them about the special occasion, the lady said she’ll take care of it nicely. When I walked in, our table was all set and it had customized menu with my boyfriends name written on top. The food is 10/10 guys, I would recommend you guys to try the octopus and the salad from the appetizer and aged steak, the duck and halibut fish from the main course.

This was likely one of the best meals I’ve ever had in New York City, and I have been to hundreds of places. Making a reservation was extremely easy and adjusting short notice was accommodating, since our plans changed last minute. My partner and I and expected the a la carte menu but when we asked about the tasting menu, they said they had a few left and we knew we had to try it (we also got the wine pairings $$$). FYI - you usually have to book the tasting menu in advanced, but they were able to squeeze us in because there were extras. I knew the meal was going to be special, but I didn’t think it was going to blow my mind the way it did. Each course was new and different, fresh and flavorful. The wait and wine staff were EXTREMELY friendly and helpful. Will be back and will be recommending to EVERYONE.

My husband and I had an amazing experience here yesterday. We had a day date and opted to come to Craft and try the tasting menu. It did not disappoint! All of the dishes were absolutely delicious, even the obscure ones which I normally would not have tried. To top it off, the cocktails were next level, and the service was impeccable. We're definitely going to come back with friends and family.

Went here for my birthday. Tasting menu with wine pairing is a must. I love tasting new and adventurous things. Definitely recommend this if you are into new foods and tasting menus. Did I mention wine!!! There were lots of pours of wine..

Generous and gracious service. Proteins don't normally impress me at any restaurant, but the oysters and venison melted in my mouth, and the sea bass was exceptional (tasting menu). I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Craft is a solid choice only degraded by the price. For $25 for a gem house salad, I want it brilliant. Other than being slightly over priced for the value, the service was good but I kept having to ask for utensils. The food was solid but a little salty which I consider getting lazy. The Cod, broccolini, and bread were very good. Ribs were above average. The desserts were also both tasty and creative. Overall, this place should be in your NYC rotation.

Food was delicious, especially the duck that was incredibly tender and just perfect all around. Not overly dim and quite spaced out interior but still a very intimate space, perfect for a slow dinner with some wine.

I have been a fan of Tom Colicchio for almost twenty years. A friend flew into NYC for the first time for a celebration and decided Craft needed to be apart of the itinerary. The Good. We decided ahead of time to get the tasting menu. I can happily say it did not disappoint. I thought the progression was well thought out, and each dish was balanced with surprise ingredient pairings that delighted your palate. The portions were also very adequate. The standout for both of us was the duck and Kumquats. The food component gets 4/4 stars. Room for improvement 1. When we arrived, we were promptly seated but were both wearing heavy coats that we had to shove in the booth. I saw later there was in fact a coat check; we just were never offered it. 2. There is an accompanying wine pairing with the tasting menu. I had asked if someone could walk us through a description of the wine pairings. Instead, we were simply given the menu. After deciding to then order a la carte, there were various lulls that we found ourselves sucking on ice of our empty cocktails during the 3.5 hour tasting experience. 3. We had come to Craft for a celebration that I had written out a note on our reservation (because it asked). This celebration was never noted or acknowledged in anyway. The lack of service and attention to detail is something I would expect from a pop up, not an established restaurant. 4. The last service fail was the bathroom. The hand towels had overflown from the basket area provided, and were scattered all over the bathroom floor. Again, expected more attention to detail. Overall, we would return again and are excited to see how this tasting menu progresses. I understand the service components can be day to day, especially with staff shortages and the challenging labor experience that Covid has created.
