   This restaurant was disappointing. The food was average at best. The waiter never brought any bread to our table and the only size steak available was 40 oz. My husband and I didn’t enjoy our appetizers or main course so we didn’t bother to try the desert.

   We visited NYC and decided to go to Craft to celebrate my hubby's birthday. We would like to thank the wonderful staff at Craft who went above and beyond to create such a special night for us! The food was exceptional and we will definitely be going back for more!

   Food was very good, but not fantastic. My wife and I are fine dining critics and we liked this place, but not as much to come back. If you are looking for a trendy place, nice decor and good food. This is your place. If you are looking for an outstanding dining experience, I probably wouldn’t.

   We were very surprised by how bad this experience was for us. We had high expectations and Craft failed to deliver over and over. The bartender was lovely but overwhelmed. The person who took our order (I believe he was the sommelier) couldn’t answer basic questions about the differences between the steak options. Regarding the beef options, we didn’t expect that there were zero options for one person to order a steak ... the smallest steak that you could order was 34 ounces - enough for four - and as a party of two, we were really disappointed that the lack of options kept us from trying multiple dishes. We ordered the steak anyway, at medium temp, and after waiting about 45 minutes were presented with a very rare steak. Honestly for $200 I expected it to come out perfect, yet we had to send it back it was so inedible. We watched the bartender (we sat at the bar) tell the manager how bad it was and she never came over or said anything to us. When the steak came back, it was so burnt and charred on the outside it was inedible in a different way -- and honestly, by that point, the experience was ruined. I like to give the benefit of the doubt -- we eat at a lot of restaurants ... high and low ... and no one is 100% all the time -- but this was just really bad. To add insult to injury, we had to let them know there was no toilet paper in the ladies room, and during our time at the bar, we refilled our water and wine glasses ourselves. In a normal world, not really a big deal, but it's just not something you'd expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Edited to note that we have since heard from the manager and appreciate the quick response. Perhaps next time we're in NYC we'll give it another go, but unlikely.

   The Persia drink was well balanced& interesting. The amuse buche was good but hardly remarkable. We appreciated the gluten-free bread order also delivered to table for one of our guests. The hen of the woods mushrooms were outstanding. The take home gift of cinnamon coffee cake was a lovely touch too. We also liked the choice & size portion flexibility of the ice cream & sorbet desserts.

    The service and ambiance were great. Unfortunately the food was absolutely not. The duck was overcooked, the steak was flavorless and dry (cooked “medium”) the potatoes, mushrooms and other sides were very very oversalted, the scallops were fine, but bordered on underdone, and at $55 for four I hoped for a bit better than that. We got the smallest cut of meat available which was $170 (before tax and tip) and while I understand “showcasing the natural flavor of the produce”, in this case that felt like a complete lack of sensitivity to flavor and texture. It’s rare to have the entire table express sadness over the quality of the food, and we had that from each person at every course. Very disappointed. To cap it off the ice cream, sorbets and other desserts were very over-sweet so we could hardly make out the flavors underneath all the sugariness.

    The overall experience was great. The ambience and service was stellar. However, my chicken was bit overcooked and bit tough to eat…The menu is a bit pricey for the quality of the food… I’ve had better in less expensive places.

    They served my friend Billy a piece of short rib that was more fat than meat. For $67, that’s unacceptable. It’s small enough to begin with, so it should have been checked. No one asked what was wrong when they came around - but he barely got to eat any of it. For a meal that cost over $100, they need to do better.

    Craft is amazing! The food was really tasty (recommend the halibut- it just melts in your mouth and very savory). I came for celebrating my guest’s birthday and Craft put out all the stops! Specially-designed menu itself, little treats for our table as “party favors”, everyone saying happy birthday when at our table, and very accommodating to other requests I had. Santiago was extremely great and very regardful of our table. Santiago gave top recommendations and was very explanatory to unknowns in the menu. Santiago was very accommodating to my requests for my guest and made our reservation a fun experience. Hostess Mariah was very sweet and receptive to us as well. Overall, extremely great experience and will definitely be returning to celebrate other events! I highly recommend Craft for any occasion.

    We were seated, given a drink and wine list and left to sit for 15 minutes. No water, no menu. Finally given bread and water. Still no menu. But asked repeatedly if we would like a cocktail or glass of wine. How can you order wine if you have no idea what you will be eating?? We ordered the tasting menu with wine pairings. Only one wine was served on time with its course. The rest were midway through! The white asparagus was like wood at the end of the stalk. Not edible. One course had the exact same pea purée poured over it that we had been given a moment before as an amuse bouche with a drip of mint oil in it. I could go on. Our waiter was a disaster. The bill was $600. We have had some lovely meals here in the past. It no longer appears to be the same Craft that it used to be. We are so disappointed and feel totally ripped off.

    Excelente elección; fuimos a celebrar nuestro aniversario y agradecemos las atenciones que tuvimos, nos dieron un menú con nuestro nombre grabado y una copa de vino espumoso. La mesera también se sacó un 100. Los platillos no son muy abundantes pero muy ricos. La selección de vinos es inmensa. Fue una gran experiencia.

    Fantastic service throughout our visit. We spent about two hours dining and were able to have desert as well. We got a lot of recommendations from our server and we’re glad we did - we ended up having a bunch of half-size orders so we could enjoy 6-7 dishes between us (two of us). Flavors were amazing. I found most dishes a bit too salty though.

    Overall, really satisfied ($360 dinner for 2 - 2 appetizers, 2 entries, 1 glass of wine) Was a little out off by waiter. Asked for recommendations and just so happens, everything he pointed out was the most expensive thing on the menu. Totally possible, everything he pointed out was the best thing on the menu, on the other hand, he has an incentive to make the bill as high as possible. Did feel like he lost objectivity and was trying to take advantage.

    We had high expectations for Craft based on Tom Colicchio’s critiques of other chefs on Top Chef, and I have to saw we were not disappointed. Everything we ordered (and it seemed like we ordered half the menu) was delicious. Even so, there were highlights: the hamachi crudo was perfect, with beautifully fresh fish, a sharp but nicely balanced sauce, and just the right dash of finishing salt; the hen of the woods mushroom side dish had us all fighting for the last bite; the gnocchi starter was similarly a bit hit; the duck entre was cooked perfectly, as was the ribeye. Colicchio often critiques chefs on Top Chef that their dishes needed a dash of seasoning, and we could see he takes that advice to heart in his own dishes as everything had a final sprinkle of salt that gave just the right pop and worked perfectly with the dishes. Our waitperson was a joy, and the sommelier was excellent with full command and deep knowledge of the wide ranging wine list. Also, we were a large party which can sometimes cause dishes to come out unevenly, but everything was paced well and dishes of the same course arrived at precisely the same time. We will definitely return.

The absolutely exquisite food was only surpassed by the most thoughtful, caring service we've ever experienced. It was a truly once in a lifetime meal for us, and we had the best time, top to bottom.

    Craft never disappoints! We were celebrating my daughter’s graduation early since I was in town, and they didn't hesitate to pull out all the stops, even though their graduation offering didn't start for a new more weeks. My daughter was so surprised by her personalized menu and we both enjoyed their Craft-only sparkling wine. Our meals were delicious, as always, and the pavlova is a must-have when it’s offered. Go- you will not be disappointed.
