The best food and service with a wonderful atmosphere. Oyster trio was awesome. Also ordered some bread and salad as appetizers. Main course we got the ribeye and snapper. Brought bread pudding home at server’s recommendation and it was awesome! By far the best meal of our vacation.

Had a wonderful crab and shrimp boil out on the deck overlooking the beach. Marvelous service provided by Beth. Recommend the snapper bites as an appetizer. Much nicer than those crowded, noisy places in the center of town.

AMAZING SERVICE!!! Beautiful restaurant, easy parking and you have valet option too, went for dinner service and unfortunately my fish and chips had close to not salt my fish was cooked in old oil, it made the fish taste old and the bad kinda of greasy to the good kind. If the meal would have tasted great the price would have been worth it but it did not. Again I must say amazing service but very poor food.

It’s definitely a hotel restaurant, so don’t let that fool you. They have a little bit of everything for everyone (chicken, fish, steak). Our service was slow mainly for drinks. I would suggest this place if you don’t want to wait in a long line at another restaurant on a busy weekend or you would like to see a beautiful view

Not cheap, but I did enjoy my food. The fried snapper was excellent. My son preferred the snapper over the grouper in the fish and chips. Overall loved the meal and would visit again. Really can't complain. Sometimes you pay for what you get.

We have ate all Foodcraft before and loved it. This time, not so much. Was up all night sick and had to drive home the next day. Let’s just say that it made the trip home miserable.

Requested a table on the deck. When they tried to take me to a different area, I again requested the table on the back deck. Although there were a bunch of open tables…. We were placed at the one table that would put the sun in our eyes.

We requested a high top table, but when we arrived it seemed like the front of house did not want to sit us at a high top (no explanation was given as to why). We relented and took a standard table and ended up sitting in the middle of the restaurant right in front of the doors to outside patio seating and getting blasted with hot air every time a server entered and exited the main dining room. The food and service were excellent. Overall we were happy.

The food was great and our waitress was great. This was our second time to eat at Foodcraft. We enjoyed our first visit, that’s why we returned. However, the second visit was not as enjoyable. The management seemed to have an issue with our large party & figuring out how to seat us. I will never understand why resort towns (restaurants, shops, etc.) have problems accommodating large groups. Especially when it’s a holiday. Large families will gather and they will need to eat. Please be kind and understanding when a large party comes in and has made a reservation. I was made to feel that I needed to apologize. What happened to treating the customer with respect & kindness??

Very limited menu on Sundays for brunch. When making the reservation, the menu indicated the buffet would be open, but it closed at 11. Great atmosphere but it’s basically a “hotel restaurant”. Nice for a quick bite!

We had a great impromptu breakfast at Foodcraft Coastal! Found the spot via Open Table early this morning and though we made reservations just to be safe, it was a quiet morning and we could have been seated immediately otherwise. Beautiful/serene setting and the food arrived quickly, hot and delicious. Our server, April, was excellent and on point! We had looked at Perch for dinner reservations for dinner early last week but didn’t book. Our wonderful breakfast experience prompted us to secure a spot there for our Anniversary dinner. Thank you!
