Amazing holiday classic! The decor is just amazing- beautifully decorated for the holidays. The food was equally amazing. We had the tomahawk steak special with three included sides. The steak was delicious and perfectly cooked. The lobster Mac and cheese and vegetables were delicious and the presentation was worthy of photos which didn’t do it justice. The service was friendly but efficient. We will be back.

Great experience once again. Was seated right away though my guest was 5 min late. Thanks...it's important to me not to have to wait in the corridor for a "full party." Had the steak frites lunch which was excellent. We shared the lobster mac and cheese...delicious...cocktails were amazing as usual. Service was A+ Love that room! I will be back. I had a great time with my date. Thank you!!!!!

Craft never disappoints - we were told we have a wonderful table in the back but we were given the table next to the server station at the very back. It was still wonderful because the servers weren't interfering with our dinner at all (only Craft can pull that off). The food never disappoints and neither does the service - it's on point and friendly and just wonderful. We had apps, mains and dessert and didn't have a bad thing to say about anything - everyone was happy. Next Time I would request a table not at the very end so you can experience more of the ambience and not look at a wall but other than that all good. Yes - it's pricey but you won't complain about what you ate.
