   Cool spot. Had no idea it was there. Our cocktails were great! Our server was super sweet and accommodating. Would sit outside next time. It was a little loud inside but otherwise great night.

   Despite making a reservation for a " quiet, shady" spot when we were seated there were none available. Eventually, after moving our table, chasing the shade, a shady spot opened up, and we changed tables, but a noisy party of 4 were immediately seated next to us. The price of add on protein items is not given on the printed menu, perhaps because the price keeps changing to reflect market rates? Our server had to be reminded to pop the top on a bottle of water and failed to return to see if our food was okay once, after a sustained delay, it was served. The food was so-so. All the ingredients for my poached Bosc pear salad could have been purchased from the local Trader Joe's. It was long on arugula but short on the tasty marcona almonds and pomegranate seeds, served with a thimbleful of dressing. I've dined here on two other occasions recently and overall like the laid back service. We've never felt rushed and the servers have been thoughtful and responsive - not so much yesterday. Not at all sure if I would recommend this place to a friend or if I would want to return again based on yesterday's experience.

   The restaurant is hard to find. It's easy to find the entrance but you pull in and it's a big set of office buildings and there is no visible sign on the front of the restaurant (only at the curb, so you know you have arrived but then you don't have any idea where it is from there. We went early on a Tuesday and it was not busy at all. We did have a very good meal and service. Please get better signage.

   Good choices for vegetarians. Went for lunch. Total number of lunch choices are limited. Brunch is only served on Sunday. We went on Saturday expecting brunch but we were not disappointed with lunch choices. We also tried deserts, order three of them. All of them were great. Service was great. The restaurant is big place with outdoor options. Will go there again.

   Waitress and hostess very accommodating. Food took minimum 20 minutes to come out every time we ordered something. We got 3 cocktails, they were good but not amazing for the price. A kale salad to share - this was good! And the pistachio dessert, also good. Nothing was wildly amazing other than how nice & knowledgeable the waitress was. The check was $99 without tip.

    First time trying this hidden gem that I discovered on Yelp. Very pleasantly surprised by ambiance & aesthetic. Friday nights they have live music and the musician was awesome. He played a wide variety of covers that would appeal to all or most people. Customer service was excellent. We ordered the burrata salad, seafood pasta, pesto gnocchi, new york steak, duck fat fries, a pistachio dessert & 3 cocktails. The burrata salad was a very tiny portion, good tasting but I wouldn’t order again. Seafood pasta was $28, small again for price and my friend too many empty clam shells. Pesto gnocchi was best value, was a good size portion and tasted great. Our favorite dish by far was the new york steak, we ordered it medium well and it was cooked perfectly. It came with a smoked sauce and some veggies, delish. Cocktails were really yummy. Dessert choices were slim pickings and all too similar, light and fruity. We were craving something rich & chocolaty which they didn’t have but decided to try the pistachio dessert recommended by our waiter. It was ok. I would definitely come back for the steak and cocktails on a live music night.

    While our waiter was rather snarky and unamused by we 3 “older” ladies who didn’t consume alcohol, we really enjoyed the food and our evening. Service was good and the noise level on a Wednesday night was low enough to let us talk for hours! I had bbq wings (gluten free!) and the pear salad and my friends both had flatbread pizzas. We’ll be back, but it’s probably really loud when busy.

    nice people but just terrible service, and average food took forever even though there were hardly any tables filled. I don’t know how this place will survive unless they just kill it weekdays with the surrounding business people coming for breakfast and lunch during work… best of luck but we won’t be back.

    When we arrived we were asked if you wanted to sit inside or outside. We chose inside thinking it would be warmer. However the doors were open and it was so cold inside we thought it might’ve had a better choice to go outside where at least there were warmers. They did close the door that was closest to us but they opened another one and it was very cold the entire time we were there. Made a reservation for Valentine’s Day, after seeing such great reviews and post about it on Instagram. When we showed up there was a reduced menu and it seems like maybe they were short staffed. Or drink order took a really long time to come, but they were tasty, our food also took quite some time, and my husbands papardelle dish had mushrooms even though the menu did not mention it. They were very accommodating and got him a new meal which obviously took a while so by the time his food came I was already done eating. The staff was amazing and they did take care of us by not having us pay for quite a bit of the meal. However it was Valentine’s Day and it was a bummer night to not have it be what we expected.

    This was our first visit to Crafted Culture. We came to celebrate a birthday, and we were greeted with accommodating and wonderful staff, excellent drinks, and delicious food. We will be back, especially as the weather turns. Great outdoor seating area where you can eat, drink, visit and have a good time. Thanks, Crafted Culture, for making our birthday celebration so much fun.

    Great spot with lots of outdoor space. We ordered kind of tapas style for sharing- citrus salad, the meatball, broccolini, fries and the poblano dip. It was too much for the two of us but everything was tasty. Loved the fries , poblano dip and meatball!

    I enjoyed a fun Friday out with love music and a fun outdoor setting. I brought family back for a late Saturday lunch/early dinner and didn’t have a great service experience. Menu items weren’t available and service—while we understand the shortages and issues—was impatient and short. Long wait time for food, which was good, but more importantly , it wasn’t a warm reception from staff.

    This place is a gem. I've been there twice in two weeks for an early outdoor dinner with a large group, and the patio is lovely and very comfortable. The food is very fresh and beautifully presented, with lots of great vegetable options (and I say that not as a vegetarian, just someone who likes veggies!) My two favorite things so far are the corn fritters (light and fluffy, with addictive sauce) and the Brisket and Bao, which is so tasty and also fun to put together with the brisket that you carve yourself, the fluffy bao buns that come in a bamboo steamer, and all the pretty little bowls of pickled vegetables that come with it. The servers were attentive and friendly, and it's very easy to park. Both my groups had nothing but raves--they've got a winner with this one, in an area that was really needing a good restaurant.

    It was super cold inside the restaurant - I wore a coat and a scarf. We repeatedly asked for the double doors we were seated near to be closed. The waitress said the "owners like the doors open" well I like to eat dinner in space warmer than 60 degrees. There was literally a wind coming thru the doors blowing our napkins around. Finally while we were eating the waitress closed 1 of the double doors and that helped. Also, the food took a long time and the restaurant was mostly empty. About 10 mins after we ordered the waitress came and told us that they had just sold the last "avocado cesear salad" which didn't make much sense. And seemed too long after our order to be told that. When we commented how long our food took to come out they blamed the pork chop - but we were really talking about our appetizers. It just seemed like no matter what we said - they didn't really care how we felt as the customer - like they were only going to do what they liked or wanted to do. Also, they were "out" of like 10 menu items (including drinks) seems fairly silly. I don't see this restaurant having very many repeat customers if they treat people like this. We will not be back
