Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Carnegie Hill

When I’m fortunate enough to find myself in NYC on business I make time to visit the Met museum; this is the second time I’ve had lunch solos in the Met dining room, and it is cemented as a tradition I’ll continue. The staff are second to none: I was welcomed warmly and treated with friendly, knowledgeable and prompt service throughout the meal. The menu changes on occasion and I love to see what has inspired the chef; today I enjoyed a delicious Bibb Lettuce & Chicory Salad with mashed avocado, radish and a delightful , sherry vinaigrette. The salad was beautiful, and perfectly dressed and seasoned. I also chose a “raw” dish: the yellowfin tuna in ponzu sauce, which was a feast for the eyes. Service was impeccable; my waiter Michael was helpful in choosing dishes I would enjoy & he and the team gracefully set and reset my table between courses, while filling my water and ensuring I could simply relax & enjoy the beautiful view of the park. Thank you for a truly delicious meal in an incredible setting with a a wonderful buzz of energy from fellow museum lovers. I look forward to joining you again when I’m next in town!

Great restaurant with incredible food. Highly recommend.

Always excellent food and service. This is a don't-miss restaurant when you are in NYC.

We celebrated my birthday at Craft, and every aspect of the dinner was excellent. From the food, the service, the wine, the music, the ambiance; everything. Highly recommended for every day meals out or special occasions. Portion sizes are also very reasonable, and the price-quality ratio can't be beat. Real ingredients are showcased for their inherent value, rather than over-processing foods into foams, etc. If you want to enjoy excellent products in an excellent space, look no further.

Great food and extra friendly service. Lively atmosphere.
