Craft, New York NY

6 of us had one of the best meals ever - we are a three generation family group, experienced diners. From the lovely person who greeted us and give us a very brief but intelligent description of the building that houses this restaurant /while somehow managing to convey an honest-to-God pleasure that we were there, to the charming, knowledgeable waitress who made great recommendations on the food and showed a real delight in doing so, to the manager who came to our table at the end of the meal and showed us the kitchen staff at work (!), the service was without peer. Managed to be warm and friendly while being so competent. The food was perfect. We had a variety of dishes and each was just wonderful. I cannot say enough about what a perfect experience it was - from the perfectly cooked tiny stubby carrots (never have seen such a thing) which were only a garnish on a dish, to the fabulous hen-of-the-woods mushrooms which retained every bit of the flavor and texture which they are known for, and never even mind the short ribs, duck and pasta. And perfect small coffee cakes to take home? Be still my heart.

Great dinning experience.
Food tasted amazing
We ate everything! And that was the first time I actually ate everything on my plate at a restaurant.
The steak are shareable size in my opinion
The music was calm and soothing

I came here before for Valentine’s Day, and the food then was excellent. For a normal dinner yesterday, I have to say I was pretty disappointed. Perhaps the prix fixe menus for these special occasions and tasting menus are better though. We had the hen of the woods mushrooms, which were the only part of the meal we really liked a lot. My girlfriend’s sea bass came out cooked not particularly well, oddly textured, and was pretty flavorless. The duck I had was definitely cooked nicely, and I enjoyed the breast portion with their sauce. However, the leg, while extremely soft and nicely textured, was way too over seasoned. Bits of it were good, but the majority of it felt like I was eating a mouthful of seasoning and could hardly taste the duck itself.

The cocktails are excellent however, and the wine selection is very solid. If you go, definitely try the tasting menu, because that seems a lot better. I’ll probably return to give that a try next time.

This was an amazing experience! My husband and I ate here today for our 17th wedding anniversary. The service was spectacular, put a huge smile on our faces with friendliness and charm, and the food was superb. My cocktail was the best drink I have ever had. I really can’t say enough good things about our evening. The whole staff was just so nice it gave the night an extra sparkle, besides how delicious our meal was, from appetizer to dessert.

Solid service, food is always great and the ambiance works. Music isn’t too loud so you can always hear your dinner companions.

The ambience wasn’t great beautiful place and very elegant. The service was excellent. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre with a high price tag. Definitely had better for less. Overall great experience…

The food was incredible. The staff was exceptional. Fantastic service, attention to detail. An incredible dining experience

The food was super tasty and our server was great but, honestly, it felt pretty overpriced for short ribs and mashed potatoes… but, hey, the restaurant was full on a Monday night, so what do we know?

We dined here recently on a three day trip to NYC to celebrate our engagement. The food and service exceeded our expectations! Cesar went above and beyond to give us an unforgettable experience. When we told him we were celebrating our engagement, he asked us what champagne we would like. Then, asked for our names to print us out a personalized menu congratulating us! As if this wasn’t enough, when I told him I was a former chef, he gave us a tour of the kitchen. We don’t get to have meals like this often with our income so we are so thankful to Cesar and all the staff here making this trip worth it! We will definitely be back next time we travel to NYC!

Caesar, Daniella, and the entire Craft staff made an absolutely unforgettable dining experience. Their level of care, professionalism, and kindness only elevated the absolutely EXCEPTIONAL meal they served us. Every moment in Craft was special and appreciated.

My recent visit to the Craft fine-dining restaurant left me thoroughly impressed. We opted for the chef-tasting menu and every course was a delightful surprise. The food was not only visually stunning, but it was also packed with flavors that were out of this world.

Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and presented each dish with a detailed description of the ingredients and its cooking method. The portion size was perfect, not overwhelming but enough to leave us feeling satisfied. We were introduced to unique ingredients and flavor combinations that we had never experienced before.

The ambiance of the restaurant was elegant and intimate, perfect for a romantic evening or a special celebration. The service was impeccable, with the staff going above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and looked after.

Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a memorable culinary experience. The chef-tasting menu offered a variety of creative dishes that were executed to perfection, and the service was exceptional. This restaurant undoubtedly deserves every accolade it has received.

All around lovely experience. Excellent staff and service. Food was simple, tasty, and well-executed. My husband's pork chop definitely outdid my short rib, but both were wonderful. Delicious cocktails as well.

An ideal place for a business meal. It is relaxed, jazzy music but you can hear everyone at the table but other tables can't hear you.
Great food, great service. Our table of 6 devoured the beef and the pork as well as the fish.

Dining at a quality establishment is a privilege and an expense. Craft is such an establishment. Excellent service and excellent food. Expensive yes but for a special occasion we'll worth it. Thanks Craft!

We enjoyed our Easter brunch at Craft.

The service was super friendly, although a little disorganized at times.

The food was very tasty. The portions were large and there was enough to eat. The price-performance ratio was at the upper limit because coffee and tea were charged separately.

We can only recommend the restaurant.
