    Thanksgiving supper at Food Craft was perfect. Sat outside on a beautiful day. While the placed was booked solid, it didn’t feel crowded or overly busy. The food selection was good and varied, but the ambiance is unbeatable.

    It was my wife and I 27th Anniversary we were guests at the The Hilton Lodge Hotel which is a Beautiful property we made reservation at Foodcraft with instructions but our hostess just set us next to a crowded table with children. Our server Kim was wondering and the food was awesome and that made our Anniversary moment very special . We will be back.
