   We wanted an outdoor venue where we felt Covid safe. Crafted Culture definitely provided that. Our waiter was great. The food tasted good, but the portions were disappointingly small.

   Crafted culture is great for all occasions. Theres plenty of outside space for kids to run around. Fridays have a great ambiance with the music. They have great food and kids menu.

   We were surprised at this little gem in an industrial park. The food offering gs were delicious and quite varied. Southern corn fritters, Korean brisket, duck fat fries. The cocktails were beautiful and unique. There is also a play area for children by the outside dining area. This is such a great idea. Families with small children can dine stress free while their littles run and play beside them. Definitely recommend!!

   It saddened me that we had a bad experience. The kitchen/server got my food wrong twice. It was awkward enough to tell the server once, then the food came out a second time and I just ate the wrong order to “get it over with.” Oh yeah, and our server flat out said he forgot about us. It took us 47 minutes to get our drinks. For $150 dinner… it all was outrageous.

   Went for date night. No refills on water offered. Waitress checked on us one time in the beginning and that was it until the bill. Had to ask for salt and pepper, salad was bland. We got the avocado Caesar salad add shrimp, duck fat fries, New York steak and some cocktail can’t remember name. The best thing was the shrimp add on. The salad was confusing. I asked for no pickled onions, but it came in and it was fine I just picked them off. The combination didn’t make sense. The dressing had no flavor. The fries were soggy. The steak was super smoky and the juices were all over the potatoes. It was a lot. Kind of felt like the chef does more than he/she needs to and kind of ruins the dishes. The location and ambiance is great already so guests will come. Cocktail wasn’t great either. The hubs wants to return to give it another try but idk if we will. The previous ownership/restaurant that was here before was wonderful and menu much more tasty.

   Overall the service was great, food was good, and the ambiance was perfect. We were a large family party with everyone ranging from grandparents to kids, and everyone enjoyed the outdoor seating area, though a bit more shade would have been nice since it was an especially warm day. The only drawback for us was that the lunch menu was not available. Not sure if we would have made reservations here if we knew it was brunch only all day on Sundays. Nonetheless, everyone enjoyed it and wanted to come back for another visit.

   Food was delicious. Drinks were good. Staff was friendly. Service needs work. Every visit To Crafted Culture, they always said they are under staffed. I’ve gone here 5 separate times already. Service to get the food and drinks took a really long time, every single time. This last visit it took almost an hour for our food. 45 minutes to get a drink made from the bar. It’s a great establishment, but they really need to fix that problem. Please hire more staff. I sadly can not recommend this place to my friends.

    Celebration for a promotion with my work team and it was great. They got our party of 9 an extra umbrella and sitting outside was lovely. Tons of appetizers, salads, flatbreads and wine! I ordered the sparkling and still rose. We ordered a cab as well. The meatball, hummus and chicken wings were my table contribution and were tasty. They don’t have ranch but make sauces in house. I was Offered the garlic aioli which worked. Isabella, our server, was attentive, along w her team. The only suggestion was larger water glasses. Live music was a fab surprise.

    Food was good but overpriced. Waiter said the Branzino was shareable but it was a smaller piece of fish. Took a while for our drinks and to get more water. Waiter was distracted. Cost was $16 for a glass of wine that you could buy the same wine at Vons for $20.

    They seemed understaffed. Service was extremely slow but friendly. They had good music playing but not all tables outdoors have umbrellas so you are just in the sun depending on the time of day you go. Bloody Mary’s weren’t anything special and they charge for more toppings but don’t really give anything more than a standard bloody. It was ok

    Worst thing about this restaurant is just trying to find it. There isn’t even really a big sign, the sign says a coffee place. It’s in a business park area and very hard to find BUT it’s worth it! Great food, ambiance and drinks. Recommend the corn fritters and pork chops!

    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.
