Reviews for Craft in New York, NY
Went here for my birthday. Tasting menu with wine pairing is a must. I love tasting new and adventurous things. Definitely... recommend this if you are into new foods and tasting menus. Did I mention wine!!! There were lots of pours of wine.. Read more
This was likely one of the best meals I’ve ever had in New York City, and I have been to hundreds of places. Making a... reservation was extremely easy and adjusting short notice was accommodating, since our plans changed last minute. My partner andI and expected the a la carte menu but when we asked about the tasting menu, they said they had a few left and we knew we had totry it (we also got the wine pairings $$$). FYI - you usually have to book the tasting menu in advanced, but they were able tosqueeze us in because there were extras. I knew the meal was going to be special, but I didn’t think it was going to blow mymind the way it did. Each course was new and different, fresh and flavorful. The wait and wine staff were EXTREMELY friendly andhelpful. Will be back and will be recommending to EVERYONE. Read more
Refined posh upscale restaurant at the top of its game. Highly knowledgeable waitstaff along with a welcoming host staff makes... for a pleasurable dining experience. Wide ranging menu touch all the right notes.Competent wine selection. Service laggedsomewhat at the end of the meal with a noticeable delay in clearing the table. Not what one would expect at this price point.That aside, it is still a special occasion restaurant to add to one must visit list. Read more
Craft is a solid choice only degraded by the price. For $25 for a gem house salad, I want it brilliant. Other than being... slightly over priced for the value, the service was good but I kept having to ask for utensils. The food was solid but a littlesalty which I consider getting lazy. The Cod, broccolini, and bread were very good. Ribs were above average. The desserts werealso both tasty and creative. Overall, this place should be in your NYC rotation. Read more
Being a fan of Tom's for years, our visit to Craft was highly anticipated. Our expectations for our meal and experience were... exceeded. We started with the wild arugula salad and the complimentary French sourdough. We then received an amuse-bouche ofchilled potato leek soup. My wife ordered the ricotta agnolotti and I ordered the rigatoni with white bolognese. We finishedwith the toasted marshmallow semifreddo. We also had a couple of cocktails - she had the Bee Sting and I had the Black Widow.Amazing cocktails!!! The Black Widow was a riff on a Boulevardier and it was absolutely fantastic. This was easily one of thebest meals we've had in a long time. Read more
I have been a fan of Tom Colicchio for almost twenty years. A friend flew into NYC for the first time for a celebration and... decided Craft needed to be apart of the itinerary. The Good. We decided ahead of time to get the tasting menu. I can happilysay it did not disappoint. I thought the progression was well thought out, and each dish was balanced with surprise ingredientpairings that delighted your palate. The portions were also very adequate. The standout for both of us was the duck andKumquats. The food component gets 4/4 stars. Room for improvement 1. When we arrived, we were promptly seated but were bothwearing heavy coats that we had to shove in the booth. I saw later there was in fact a coat check; we just were never offeredit. 2. There is an accompanying wine pairing with the tasting menu. I had asked if someone could walk us through a descriptionof the wine pairings. Instead, we were simply given the menu. After deciding to then order a la carte, there were various lullsthat we found ourselves sucking on ice of our empty cocktails during the 3.5 hour tasting experience. 3. We had come to Craftfor a celebration that I had written out a note on our reservation (because it asked). This celebration was never noted oracknowledged in anyway. The lack of service and attention to detail is something I would expect from a pop up, not anestablished restaurant. 4. The last service fail was the bathroom. The hand towels had overflown from the basket area provided,and were scattered all over the bathroom floor. Again, expected more attention to detail. Overall, we would return again andare excited to see how this tasting menu progresses. I understand the service components can be day to day, especially withstaff shortages and the challenging labor experience that Covid has created. Read more
Extremely strong service by staff going to the last detail such as pouring wine while holding the base and ensuring label is... directed toward you (small but intentional detail). Duck was unbeatable. Pricing does represent that quality but for a properoccasion it is a great meal. Ideal for team dinners, guys night out, or client meal. Read more
Food was delicious, especially the duck that was incredibly tender and just perfect all around. Not overly dim and quite spaced... out interior but still a very intimate space, perfect for a slow dinner with some wine. Read more
