We are huge fans of Top Chef and were blown away when we got to see Chef Tom a couple times. I love the décor and vibe in this place. Service was great. Started with some New Brunswick oysters which were a great way to get the palate going. Next came one of his famous pastas, the Agnolotti. Perfectly cooked with an amazing brown butter sauce. You definitely should split it. It is very rich. I followed up with the dry aged strip that I consider to be one of the 3 best steaks I've ever had. Cooked with rosemary and packing an amazing amount of aged flavor to it. Not to mention it is huge. Incredible. Great wine and beer lists. Servers could be a bit more knowledgeable in that area. Finished the meal with some Grappa. A great evening.

It had been a few years since I’d been to craft so it was nice to revisit it again. The three main takeaways were this: the decor was inviting & calming; the service was friendly and professional; and the food represented cleanly and deliciously what it WAS. Whether it was raw bar, steak, fish, or vegetables it was prepared perfectly. We loved our meal!

Ate in the private dining room. Fantastic
Food and martini was excellent
Service excellent
Just I called earlier and told them it was also my 10 year anniversary. Wanted a candle or something special for my wife. They agreed but they did nothing to make it more special then Valentines Day
Yes we would go back. But not for a special occasion

Having booked a month in advance for our Valentines dinner both myself and my girlfriend left feeling underwhelmed and overcharged.

I’m often told not to book a high end restaurant on an expected busy night and this exemplified why.

The food was not bad but also far from outstanding. Choosing from a set menu on the night I felt all three starters lacked any real flavor, in particular the leafy salad that was borderline boring.

The main courses better but again, excellence is what I had hoped for in choosing Craft and I left disappointed.

Except for the oysters which despite waiter saying good were not the food was terrific as was the service

There were four of us and waiter suggested two appetizers, a main course for each and two sides. He was spot on We even left a few veggies behind

The calamari and cheese apps were delicious. Two of us had fish, my daughter had steak and I had short ribs. All of us enjoyed.

We had cheese for dessert. Plus a moderately priced bottle of wine. Some bottles only for an expense account

While expensive certainly worth every dollar. Wish there was an UES outlet
