   The staff made this dinner an experience! From the person seating us, to the GM John Gargano and Santiago our waiter for the night. Service was exceptional! Main courses were super delicious, especially the scallops, gnocchi, and broccolini. Definitely will be revisiting.

   Was really happy to celebrate an anniversary with my husband at Craft tonight. As usual the food was great! Got 2 apps, 2 entrees and 1 dessert. They were so nice to bring out a menu with our names on it as well. We felt such great hospitality. When we arrived everyone wished us a happy anniversary. The waiter, Cesar, then poured us two Champaign glasses to celebrate. Didn’t ask, just poured as he was saying happy anniversary and that the restaurant provides this. Had a great meal, great service. When the bill came we were SHOCKED to see that we were charged for the two glasses of Champaign that we didn’t ask for. Now it’s not about the money, it about the fact that they congratulated us and poured it for us without any “you’ll be charged for this” I found that to be extremely sneaky on Cesar’s behalf. He seemed charismatic all evening until then. I felt almost betrayed by this restaurant as this place holds a special place in our hearts.

   CraftResponded 2 days agoGood afternoon Elle, My name is John Gargano and I am the General Manager here at Craft. Starting with an apology for Cesar's oversight in forgetting to remove the anniversary pour of Cava, I humbly request to jump on a call with you to explain what took place here. Craft, it's staff, and I, are unlike any other human being that walks this earth, we make mistakes. When we do, we ALWAYS stand tall and accept responsibility. Please know you have been refunded twice the amount of the cava.

   The ambiance and service was lovely but the food was a bit disappointing — especially for the price. My risotto and potatoes au gratin were very watery. That said, the burrata and broccoli were delicious, my friend seemed to really enjoy his scallops, and the service was excellent.

    start to finish, an amazing place! excellent staff sees to it that your evening is a memorable one. Hard to describe the food to do it justice - 4 of us all tried each others starters and entrees - one dish was better than the next. hard to say that any one stood out because they were all exceptional.

    I cannot say enough about how great this experience was at Craft. From the staff to the food to the ambiance, this place is truly a gem and everyone needs to try it. It is a true Farm to Table restaurant and the food was amazing. We did the seven course tasting menu with wine pairings and it was so good and really opened my eyes to some new wines. The staff was also amazing and they made this birthday celebration extra special. Our waiter Cesar was incredible and we were so lucky to get him - he new his stuff, made you completely comfortable with each menu item and allowed you to eat comfortably through each course! So well done. I cannot wait to come back and enjoy another meal at this Fabulous place!! Kudos to the entire staff!

    We really enjoyed our evening at Craft. The ambience, the food, the staff member who ran to open the door for me when I first arrived out of the 95 degree weather to get me into the AC asap, the bartender (who replaced my drink when I spilled it by accident and came to my aid with napkins), our waiter (Ed- who guided us perfectly in quantity of food to order and food preferences we expressed). My husband and our adult children loved the place. Thanks Craft! We'll be back.

    I had much higher expectations for this restaurant. Very disappointed with at least half of the 6 course tasting menu. All of the courses were too large, except for the lab and the olive oil cake. The corn custard was acceptable only because the chef included truffles, but hinted the downward spiral to come. The Fluke Crudo was very oily and not at all tasty The rabbit was extremely dry and bland (I can't imagine anyone actually tasted this before serving) The lima beans inlcuded in this dish were undercooked and similarly tasteless. The fact that I came out for my birthday as well as the lamb were the only reasons I didn't outwardly complain about the food. Very difficult to recommend this place to anyone. I'll be sure to bring a notepad next time to provide a more thorough review of the food.

    My first visit since the pandemic shutdown and it was splendid. The server was uncommonly helpful, patient, knowledgeable and charming. The food was superb: our party's oysters, octopus, pasta with black truffles, chicken, scallops were all pronounced delicious. The chocolate souffle was sinfully good. The room is unchanged and kind of perfect for today. It's airy and spacious but the noise level is civilized. One never has trouble conversing. The seats are comfortable. The tables are large. Everything reeks of uncompromising quality. The tab was $700, including tax and tip, for 3 people, with 2 glasses of wine apiece. It's not cheap, and it shouldn't be, but one doesn't walk out feeling gouged. In 2022, Craft is very nearly as good as it gets. Highly recommended.

    Good food, disappointing service. Our family was excited to visit this restaurant for a special occasion and big splurge. The evening started well - the menu was intriguing and our welcome was gracious with some lovely special touches. Unfortunately, what should have been a wonderful night out was marred by distracted and inattentive service - something we were not expecting based upon Craft's fame and reputation. The contrast between the service we received at Craft and our dinner the next night at another NYC restaurant that provided a stunning meal and impeccable service (for a third of what we paid at Craft) was too stark for me let this go unremarked. Maybe it was an off night? For the sake of those who will go to there and drop four figures for their meal I certainly hope so. I just expect to be wowed. We weren't.

    Craft is one of my favorite NY dining experiences. The menu is well structured and the wine list extensive and not the usual cliche of super Tuscans and Californian fruit bombs. The waiter service is the highest caliber I have encountered in my decades of dining in Manhattan. Knowledgeable, efficient without being curt and kind to their customers. The sommeliers really know their stuff and don’t try to upsell you and will advise you well if you want to go off piste. It is not cheap but it is absolutely worth it.

    Service was very good. Ambience (loud party behind me) quite noisy to the point where i could not hear my wife at the other side of the table. Some dishes were exceptional: the desserts (chocolate cake, sorbet), the foie gras, eggplant, oysters and risotto: fantastic and worth it. However the mains fell short and at this price point they shouldn't. Duck ($67) was unremarkable (just super fatty) to put it mildly, and the gratin ($20) missed any discernable hints of peppercorn or thyme, was just bland potato slices swimming in some sort of butter/cheese mix. If I had made that at home i would have thrown it out after the 2nd bite. That fatty aspect surprised me the most-almost every dish was doused in some sort of animal or dairy type of fat. i did not expect that in the middle of a NY Summer, and it didn't pair at all with the in itself expertly mixed cocktail which at the suggestion of the waitress, we had another one of during the meal. That was a big mistake, and a little weird why she would think that to be a good idea. Some great dishes, they can cook and know how to serve, and maybe we just picked wrong menu items for the night, but all in all, a bit of a mixed bag.

    Food was good but not spectacular, particularly given the insane prices. The real issue was the poor and unorganized service. We were handed dessert menus while still waiting for our entrees to come. Water was spilled all over our plates as it was poured. More than once! We brought wine with us and paid a corkage fee. It was serious wine and we shared tastes of each w the som which he appreciated. He later asked what he could bring us to drink - which we thought was awesome. We told him to surprise us. Well he did - nothing came and we found out during dessert that he had left for the night when we asked about him. It was all just a very disjointed experience and I don’t think we will return. Too many other high priced establishments in NYC where we can overpay - but at least get much better service and much better food.
