    Food was great. We ordered off the happy hour menu. C&C sliders and bone marrow were our favorites. We took our young kids (our mistake) and wouldn't recommend for families as they don't have a kids menu. We improvised with the mac & cheese and french fries. Both were also really good. Would definitely go back for a date night with my wife and leave the kiddos behind.

    Seems like our order was not placed on time, took over an hour to receive any items. Waitress came back to “confirm” what we had ordered. I believe she might have forgot to place our order. All other parties that were seated after us had received their orders prior to us as well. Food was fantastic, just believe better communication or check in would have been appreciated.

    We have loved Craft and Commerce for a long time. Unfortunately, yesterday was not a successful visit. We could not tell if the long waits for beverages and food were due to the bartender, the server, or the kitchen. In any case, we were unhappy with the service. I hope they can remedy this, as we would like to return.

    I was excited to eat here based on the reviews but the service was honestly very poor. We almost walked out multiple times from dinner. Food was pretty good but the lack of service really ruined this experience for us. Wouldn’t come back and probably wouldn’t recommend to any friends.

    My wife and I had dinner last night at Craft and Commerce. I really liked the wood grilled oysters. The pig ears were my highlight. Wife had the burger and was not disappointed. Good food, ambiance and service will have us back soon.

    Any restaurant you visit in downtown San Diego is going to be packed for dinner on a weekend, so expect crowds. I made reservations for my family to eat here on a Saturday Night and was seated immediately. There were a lot of people . A lot of noise. Our waitress was nice, but she was extremely busy as she had many tables. We didn't get a couple of things we requested, but that was ok, as the food was eaten anyway. Our food was pretty good, our drinks were pretty good. The ambiance was nice, it was very dark and we had some trouble reading the tiny print on the menus. Not many places cater to the 50+ adults who want to have a good time, but I guess they figure younger people spend more money? I don't know. We still had a good time and some good food. I would come here again.

    Great experience and great food. Only thing they needed to work on is having more attentive waiters as we were waiting around 10 minutes to submit our entrees. Sometimes I felt like they were avoiding eye contact to keep from getting their attention. Definitely show up with a reservation.

    I’ve heard about Craft & Commerce for a few years now so it’s been on my list. Brought a friend here and this place exceeded my high expectations. We were seated quickly and our server was incredibly attentive. I don’t know what kind of magic they’re working in the kitchen but the food was absolutely amazing, and it came out so fast. Portions are all shareable and price is fair for the quality and experience. The ambiance is lively and fun but not too chaotic that you can’t have conversation. Bring a group so you can try the whole menu!

    Our group of 4 had a great time at C&C! We had the Shishito peppers, great sauce, the Bone marrow, good portion and sauce, the miso cornbread, hot out of the oven and wonderful, the seared ahi (one of us said "the best he'd ever had!"), and two orders of the mussels in a wonderful curry sauce. Happy hour (Wednesdays from 4-5) drinks were good and the service was very good as well. While we had one primary server (forgot her name) the teamed up to make sure we were taken care of. And as we were celebrating 2 birthdays they comp'd us a chocolate mousse! Thank you C&C for the fun birthday celebration.

    I always bring out of town guests here because it’s so funky and unique. I love the open air aspect and the vibe. They also always have great cocktails. The bathroom situation is weird because you have to go out of the restaurant and down a ramp, through another door, but whatever. It goes with the funky aspect.

    I was a bit disappointed about the service. This has been on my list for a while. It took a while For our waitress to bring us extra menus. And once we placed our order took a while for us yo get our drinks and food. After we received our food our waitress disappeared. We had to wait forever for someone ELSE to bring us our check so we could pay. I probably won’t come back to eat again. However the speakeasy service was great. I suggest the speakeasy over craft and commerce. At least as far as service goes.

    Definitely make reservations because it gets packed but uts worth it. Our server has been the same one we've had for brunch also and she is amazing! The food is delicious and the drinks are spectacular. The ambiance is intimate and after a certain time the lights dim down. My wife and I love going as a date night, brunch or with a group of friends.

    The first restaurant I went to when I moved to San Diego from NY & it’s been a staple for me. Everyone down to the other tables are just amazing. My only complaint is having to leave the whole entire restaurant to go to the bathroom. I feel restaurant guest should be able to go from the inside the same way their employees are and if you go the the speakeasy in the back then you go outside. The whole leaving the establishment - in downtown San Diego where homeless roam around especially near a parking lot - just isn’t really my vibe or even safe to be honest because there’s no one out there making sure we get in and out of there safe. It’s something I really believe management should consider because even thought it’s a short distance - God forbid something happen on that short walk it will be on there hands. Other then that I truly really do love this place, the food is amazing and the staff is literally TOP TIER!!
