Top quality fresh ingredients, wide range of menu options to flatter any particular palate, infact every dish is art, culture, a sheer joy for your tastebuds. And a dinner at Craft is an experience that always makes memories. Kudo to the chef and to the impeccable service quality of dining room staff.

I understand why it was easy to get a reservation. A very underwhelming meal for a restaurant that is a shadow of what it used to be. Over $1000 for four people, no starters, a average grizzly $400 ribeye we waited 90 minutes for and very average service. Quite clear locals have long since abandoned this place and now purely an out of town crowd. With so many good restaurants in the city, one can do way better.

Craft has been my favorite restaurant in NYC since it first opened and it remains so. The service is as outstanding as the food. And each time we go, we request a carrot dish that hasn't been on the menu for years, and they always make it for us.

The food at Craft is always superb. However, it was clear they were shorthanded and the staff was stressed. It took multiple tries to obtain menus, then it required me leaving the table to find someone to take our order. We were seated 45 minutes before our first course arrived and our T bone, although cooked to perfection, was not served the way we asked. We skipped dessert, went right for the check at 2 hours at 15 minutes later. They can do better and I know this will get fixed. However, they should have addressed the lack of service with an apology and honesty. It would have made the experience less embarrassing for me and my guest.

My friend I were visiting New York for the weekend, and I suggested going to craft. I used to go annually years ago, but haven’t been able to come back to New York for a while. I was hoping it would be as good as I remember and it was! We had the scallops and Braised beef ribs, with a side of sautéed greens. And for dessert we had the corn pudding for two. Everything was delicious from start to finish and the service was impeccable. I can’t wait to come back on my next trip to NYC

We came for my daughter's 21st birthday and bachelorette party and they went above and beyond. We kept getting things compliment of the chef and the food was outstanding!! We asked for medium and got rare steak and that was the only complaint we had. I loved it, but the other people in our party wouldn't eat rare steak. The staff though was awesome, and made that night very memorable. If we ever come back to New York, we will be back!!

I wanted to love the Summer tasting at Craft, but it was a huge disappointment. The portions were off and many of the dishes were cold and sloppy. The butter poached crab was bitter and funky. We couldn’t eat it. The turbot was cold and chewy. Usually everything at Craft is delicious, so I was very surprised. Our service was very good as usual, and even our server noticed we weren’t enjoying the meal. Unfortunately, nothing was done to remedy the situation and when we followed up with the restaurant afterwards, we were told our feedback would be shared with the kitchen, which hardly seems like an appropriate reply when someone makes that kind of investment of their time and resources in your establishment. The wines in the pairing were delicious and the opening amouse of gazpacho and dessert were the highlights of the meal. Was it worth the over $400 we spent on dinner for 2 (excluding the wine)? Absolutely not. Very disappointed.

I invited my granddaughter for her first time in NYC and they welcome her printing her name in the menu

Gracious design, ambiance, and touches such as little gifts from chef throughout. Food is perfection. Hen of Woods risotto. Pork chop. Duck. The take away treat. I think it’s terribly boring for fine dining like this, yet it was tasty. Chocolate ‘soufflé’ terrific. Pavlova regrettably uninteresting. Service absolutely charming. Good Wine offerings available under $100.

The service and hospitality is unparalleled and I’ve been to almost every 5 star restaurant in Manhattan. The food is sublime. It’s private while not stuffy. I say this without hesitation while Craft is destination restaurant for a special occasion more importantly it doesn’t matter why you are there or who you are they make every diner’s experience special.

The Summer Tasting menu was absolutely superb! The amuse bush gazpacho tasted like it had the freshest heirlooms of the season and was paired with the perfect level of acidity in the beautifully herbaceous “pesto”— not sure if it was in fact pesto. The granita in the first course was perfectly balanced with the succedent lobster. The fresh raviolo had a perfect al dente texture— perhaps because of the use of whole egg— I’m not sure! The house made ricotta was so creamy! The truffles and the duck yolk were outstanding! I wish I could drink in the sauce from the third course for breakfast every morning! The butter poached crab was the best thing I’ve ever had the pleasure of enjoying in a restaurant. The Turbot was the most unique tasting fish I’ve had and it had the perfect level of salinity. The woman on that station deserves a raise and European vacation! The summer vegetables, on that turbot dish were so unique, perfectly seasoned, and expertly cooked. Our server kindly agreed to add the quail to our tasting menu and the tender, smokey, bird exceeded all of our expectations! I am so impressed with how tender yet perfectly charred the quail was. I kept asking my fiancé, how did this chef achieve this!? The jus in the wagyu beef course was tied with the quail’s jus for the number one spot, but the roasted veg that were paired with that beautiful final savory course tipped it to the top. Although the jus on the quail had a slight sweet, tartness that was just exceptional.

The food was sub-par for the price. The crispy fingerling potatoes were not crispy, the medium pork chop was overcooked, the eggplant side was not that good. The starters were the good part of the meal. I would not recommend this restaurant. I had never left food on a table at a restaurant in this price range before, and I don't regret leaving food there.
