    Food was pretty average. We ordered risotto that was very undercooked and the wedge salad had cheddar cheese instead of the typical blue cheese. Overall it was just an average meal.

    Very good food at a very resonable price and the atmosphere was amazing. We got an outside table and the sound of the wave together with nice background music and my date, make it a memorable dinner

    We thoroughly enjoyed our Easter Brunch at Foodcraft. The service was very good and so was the food. The only complaint was that the hash was not cooked as described in the menu. Would definitely recommend though

    There were small insects in the blackberries (later after diner’s own research were likely thrips), but the manager response was lackluster. The first response was “where are the insects? I don’t see any on your plate” to which I had to explicitly answer, I killed all of them … because I didn’t know what they were and they were on my plate. The second response was, “I am not sure what they are, I am not a scientist. All I know is that we follow all same procedures in washing them.” I guess it is reassuring to know that they washed them, but in the moment was somewhat unsettling. Later in the buffet section, there were yogurt that was expired for 10 days, thankfully, I checked the date before eating.  The restaurant has a lot of potential, the waitstaff were very courteous and thoughtful, and the location is unbeatable. Just wish they had better management.
