A word from Craft Dallas

The menu at craft | DALLAS is American Contemporary and is completely a la carte. First courses, meats, fish and side dishes are all ordered separately and served on platters in the center of the table. "I've always been attracted to Dallas because it has an amazing food culture," states Tom… Colicchio, chef/owner of craft | DALLAS. craft | DALLAS' menu celebrates meat from artisanal ranchers, day boat fish and just-picked vegetables - the best seasonal ingredients prepared simply and with finesse. Many favorites from the craft New York menu are also prepared by chef de cuisine Tim Bevins including Braised Beef Short Ribs, Gnocchi and Hen of the Woods Mushrooms. Desserts created by Pastry Chef Laurel Wimberg include a mix-and-match list of pastries and custards Continued

"We went on a Monday and there were very few diners there. Service was great and the food was excellent. I really liked the amuse bouche, the dessert sampler, and the muffin for breakfast the next day."

"Ridiculous pricing keeps this restaurant from being a worthwhile experience. There is no good reason to pay $50 for a steak that is no better than a steak you can buy for $10-15 less at a nearby restaurant, just for the privilege of being in the hip environs of the W Hotel. Otherwise, it was fun, and the waitstaff was excellent."

"ALWAYS IMPRESSED WITH THE CUISINE AT CRAFT. THIS TIME WE WERE LIMITED BY TIME AND HAD A THEATER SHOW TO ATTEND AFTERWARDS. OUR SERVICE WAS PROMPT AND ATTENTIVE. WE HAD A THREE COURSE MEAL AND STILL MADE OUR SHOW IN TIME. I ALWAYS HAVE THE ARUGULA AND LEMON SALAD. IT'S SUPERB- SIMPLE, LIGHT AND DELICIOUS. I ALSO RECOMMEND THE DIVER SCALLOPS AND HEN OF THE WOODS, AND BRUSSEL SPROUTS. ONE OF MY FAVORITE DESSERTS ANYWHERE IS THE STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING- HAND'S DOWN. I'M NOT SURE WHY THERE ARE SOME NEGATIVE RATINGS, I'VE ONLY HAD EXCELLENT DINING EXPERIENCES HERE."

"Love craft. Have never been blown away by the desserts or the dessert menu, but the proteins are always perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The short ribs are delicious, and the pork shank is wonderful (but not if you dislike fennel!) Anyways, service is always impeccable and I really enjoy the restaurant whenever we get out to Dallas from Fort Worth. I appreciate the amuse bouche before the meal and small bites before and after dessert. The take-home muffin is a wonderful touch, although last time was dry and flavorless. Hit or miss, but a great touch."

"The restaurant was dead. However, when ever my wife and I were involved in a private conversation (I was toasting our 5 year anniversary) and the waiter walked up right in the middle and stood at the end of the table hurrying me to finish so he could talk...
Worst example of fine dinning service I have seen! My wife's fish was over cooked. My pork was 50% fat and over cooked. Then when we ordered coffee (both of us) the waiter brought one cup dropped it off and rushed away. We asked for another cup and it took 5 minutes to get the second cup.... We have eaten at the Craft in Atlanta and NYC. Both were great experiences, but this one was terrible. And on our anniversary too."

"This is my favorite restuarant, but I had a not-so-hot experience. The food was tasty as usual (but the steak for two needed some cleaning). Each time I eat here, I pick out my main entree, and allow the server to base the rest of my meal around that. My wife and I both feel he took advantage of us, as he brought out THREE appetizers and THREE sides to accompany our steak for two (and I only weigh 160 pounds). Needless to say, it was way too much food and he was just looking to have us spend as much money as possible. Every other time I've been here it was not the case. The servers took extra special care of me and created a menu with 1/2 sides and extra little things to balance the meal. I'll come back, but I'll pick my server."

"It was just okay. I have to say I expected more from Craft. Service was lackluster, not very polished. Food was fine - not so special. Maybe I ordered wrong."

"i cannot fault the service we received at Craft. The food, drinks and overall service was absolutely perfect, could not recommend it any more! Our waiter was particularly knowledgeable and was excellent. We even were offered a courtesy car to drop us off home afterwards....."

"Been to Craft a number of times and loved it, I must say the service and food this time was not as good as it has been in the past. We had to wait an extended period of time to see our waiter while trying to order apps and then wine after we said we planned to order these things, unacceptable really. Our food came out 1.5 hours after we sat for the first time, this was totally unexpected as they where at maybe 30 percent capacity that night. The food was also fair, again not what was typical of our past experiences. Some of the dished where room temp and should have been hot, made it clear what was sitting out during that hour after ordering our main courses. For $100 pp this was an ok to fair meal, but hope this was just a bad night."

"Fantastic, world-class service. From host to wait staff, took care of us "just enough" to make sure all our needs were met, but didn't overdo it. Food was fantastic -- just needed a bit more of the delicious sauce on the lemon sole. Unbelievable 6-minute poached duck egg over escargot -- will eat that *every* time I return. And I will return."
