    We had a wonderful evening at Craft to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday. Service was attentive from the moment we arrived, and all of the dishes we ordered were fantastic. Highly recommend the duck, the aligot potatoes with Comte cheese, the hen of the woods mushroom side dish, and all of the desserts. We can’t wait to return.

    Amazing staff! Really kind and helpful. I’m vegan and they made me a vegan hot cocoa with almond milk. My mom got a french toast and it was huge, great service.

    Although there is no brunch menu, the lunch menus (both prix fixe and a la carte) are good value and our choices met all our expectations, though the chocolate mousse did not measure up to my memory of that same dessert from several months ago. It was good, just not as good.

    Very helpful staff, we enjoyed the ambiance, and the food was delicious. We started with the bruschetta, and a Caesar salad and the main course was chicken Alfredo. We definitely will come back and recommend to everyone.
