Very sleek and cool ambiance upon entering. Looks like a good place to eat and hang out. Unfortunately the food was very bland and took a very long time to arrive. My husband and I were both dressed up after coming from a special event and our booth evidently had ketchup all over it that we didn't see from the last guests. So a trip to the dry cleaner was necessary to get all the ketchup off of my husband's nice suit and I had ketchup all over my legs and dress. We probably won't be returning. read more

Great experience, great food. Had the strip steak, was perfectly cooked, big portion. Mushroom were perfect and rich in flavor, I wish my fingerling potatoes were cooked just a little more; maybe even, a little smash and fried edges. My group had the fillet, katsu chicken sandwich, the wings, and the scallops. All looked excellent. read more

Came here for a late dinner on a Thursday--and was pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem! ~ Location, Ambiance and Service ~ This spot is a bit small, being tucked in a strip mall. There is plenty of parking, and it's a well-lit area. Ambiance was great, it has a rustic feel with electric candles on every table. There was plenty of seating for three of us; we noticed a handful of larger tables for groups, and bar seating with a front row to their TVs. They have only been open a few months, so this one looks like it's still flying under the radar. Our waitress was extremely attentive without hovering. She helped us narrow down what to order, and was very accommodating with one in our party needing to adjust dishes for food allergies. ~ Drink ~ ・Two Roads No Limits Hefeweizen, Two Roads Brewing ($7): This was a great beer, really crisp and not too heavy before devouring my meal. They had an extensive cocktail list, and I would try one if I had been in a cocktail mood. ~ Food ~ ・The Old-Fashioned Burger ($17): The burger was cooked perfectly and the brioche style bun was toasty, but not overdone. The burger comes with caramelized onions, Gruyere, house cured bacon, house pickles, and roasted garlic aioli. It was extremely decadent *drool* and I recommend you come hungry! ・Black Truffle Mac & Cheese ($12): the mac has shell pasta and had an abundance of sauce. The portion was decent and the dish was simple, yet delicious! Overall, this is a top-notch spot for a good drink and great food, that has a cool atmosphere. Would definitely come back when I'm in the area! read more

This place is so good!!!!!!!!!!! The ambiance, service and food were outstanding. We started with a pitcher of the habanero infused margarita. The presentation was unexpected and so unique and cool. The octopus appetizer is so so so amazing! This was just phenomenal. I can't say enough good things about it. So flavorful and the texture of the chorizo with it was such a great combo. I had the half chicken and this was again phenomenal. It was so juicy and full of flavor. I can't recall when I have had chicken like this that was so moist. We also ordered the jalapeño crab pasta which was great. Don't let the strip mall fool you or discourage. Once inside this place has it all wonderful inside and great food. read more

I was reccomended to Craft by friends. After seeing pics and the menu I decided to come with my family. Inside is nice, updated and in a good location. Menu is diverse, anything from steaks and burgers to seafood dishes. We arrived on time for our reservation and we're seated immediately. We were a group of 5, so they just grabbed a chair and had my sister sitting out on the open. She was constantly moving her head to avoid collision with the kitchen staff bringing out food. Since the restaurant was only about half full I wish they would have seated us at a larger table (which were unused). Apps we ordered a cheese board, calamari and an octopus salad. The apps arrived quickly but we had no silverware... we sat and watched our apps get cold while we waited to flag down a Waiter for silverware. Then, we were only brought 4 sets... apps were ok, nothing to write home about. None I would say you had to try. For my main couse I went with the squid ink pasta and seafood. Pasta was cooked well, but the rest lacked flavor. When our apps were cleared the staff took KY parents silverware. When our main courses came they were never given replacements, so again they sat watching their food get cold waiting for utensils... We very rarely go out for an occasion and don't order desert and a cappuccino. None of us were impressed with the food, or the service so we opted out of desert and stopped for ice cream on the way home. Overall a disappointing experience. I doubt I will be back. read more

Both the food and the service are very good at craft. The only thing I would say is I think it's expensive. Went out with a party of seven and one or two drinks each, three appetizers that we split, and seven entrées came out to $62 a person with tax and tip. I loved all the dishes that I ordered and tried from my guests and undoubtedly the food is fantastic. I just think $15 for a Martini is a lot of money. Just my two cents. read more

Tried this place for the first time today because my daughter wanted chicken tenders and this was the closest restaurant at the time of search. Service was great, even when they had a large party in a separate room. Chicken tenders had more dough than chicken and were over cooked but my daughter enjoyed the challenge. Mixed feelings on the steak tips sandwich... great, tender steak, but 'pepper sauce' was more vinegar than it was pepper. Will try again. read more

A fantastic option I'll have to keep in mind for the future as I travel from this corridor from NYC to Boston often. Posed this as a dinner spot for 5 people on a Friday night, and every agreed, the menu looked the best and that wasn't even taking in account the seasonal offerings they had. We were sat quickly and served just as quickly! I got a very delicious maple old fashion that balanced the flavors very well! I got some hoison mustard wings to shard, and they were really delicious. Since not everyone in my enclave is a heatseeker like myself, this was a great compromise and they were very, very good. I opted for the mushroom ravioli and I was incredibly happy. The umami flavor permeated the dish and the parmesan with that sauce and drizzle was stellar. There were also quite a number of these pillowy pasta pockets and I left full! I also tried the truffle fries - YUM, and one of the diners in my party was gluten free and the gluten free option for the bun on a hamburger scored huge points. Very much enjoyed my time here with a great menu, a great nuovo American feel with great service. read more

Great staff, great food and very accommodating. Took my son's hockey team here twice in one weekend. We used their private room and they were great. The servers didn't miss a beat when it came to ordering and serving. We showed up both days on a whim and they were able to accommodate all our needs. Quality and price was very good. read more

I had a great time. Luckily I arrived during happy hour and some things were discounted. I had the cauliflower off the happy hour menu and the octopus off the regular. They were both very tasty, octopus could use a touch more char, but is was soft and flavorful with the arugula salad and chorizo. The cauliflower could be spicier and lacked any crunch. Then I had the wings off the happy hour menu. The shirachi butter needs to be spicier. The Gorgonzola dipping sauce was interesting and I'll have to recreate it at home. Pete the bartender is a magician. First a simple martini up with a twist, very clean and tasty. My favorite martini is a 5 to 1 ratio and he pulled it off. Then is asked for a New York sour, which he was a touch hesitant but it was very good. Lastly I noticed the had amaro nonino so I ordered a paper plane. He served it in an old fashion glass with a large cube of ice. Very nice, better than a coup glass than warms up too soon. Could this place be better, yes. Would I come back, definitely. read more

My daughter and I had lunch here 5/6/25, to celebrate her 60th birthday. The server, Anthony, was attentive and knew his menu. If he hadn't had an item himself, he'd mention what clients said about items of interest. Both the soup of the day and the onion soup were delicious. The scallop dish was done to perfection as was the Filet Mignon. The key lime pie was truly genuine. The creme breule cheesecake melted in my mouth. The whole experience was 5+ stars. We will be back bringing friends for their Sunday brunch. read more

Food price / quality (value) rating 7.5. The atmosphere is contemporary/neo-industrial/non-descriptive. We've been here twice now. The menu is pretty varied with some interesting choices, including a decent draught list. I had the Shrimp and Grits and the wife had the Garlic Shrimp Nachos special. Both entrees were very good. The service was also good. The prices seem to be a little steep considering that everything is strictly a la carte. There are bread plates set on the table for an unknown reason. Although everything was prepared well, I thought it was a little overpriced for what was received. read more

MUST TRY!!!! Came here after learning they just opened and wanted to try it out. Wasn't expecting much since it's newer, but I was wrong! Such a nice clean simple vibe inside, and nice outdoor space with a menu that was so different from anything in the area. Everything was so delicious! From the drinks (OMG THE DRINKS!!!) to appetizer, to entree and dessert. Was with 3 others and everyone said the same thing. I saw them making one of the pitcher drinks (margarita maybe) and their twist on it was just so beautiful. I'm sure it tasted just as good as it looked. Can't wait to go back and try more from the menu! read more

Blown away by the interior decorating including the bathrooms. Great job on decor! Full bar with ample seating. Darkened interior sets a great relaxed vibe. The service was great. Our waitress was attentive and funny, her name slips my memory. The food was so good I ordered a to go plate for my Gf. The Mushroom Ravioli was superb! The drink was soooo good, order it, it's called the Hotel Nacional 13. Will Definitely return very soon! read more

Service was literally the worst. The waiters/waitresses walked by our table multiple times, giving eye contact, and paying us no mind. We had to signal to someone to get service. The time that we went was not even busy! On top of that, the next people that came in got service RIGHT away. Maybe they're selective of who they choose to pay attention too. They also served alcohol to the people behind us without their IDs! They said they left their IDs at home, but the waiter decided to trust them by word of mouth. (We have the exact date and time this happened!) The food was mediocre and the service made the experience even worst. Trust me, there are better spots around with WAY better service and food! Don't waste your time at this place. read more

I came here the other day for the first time with my friend for drinks & apps. I am so happy we did! First of all our server, Jackie, was an absolute sweetheart! She was super attentive, genuine, friendly & clearly very conscientious of her work ethic. We loved her!! The food was delicious; the octopus was so tender & flavorful, the tuna was incredible. I cannot wait to go back to try out the rest of their menu! The atmosphere was also very nice, we enjoyed the patio since it was a nice day, but eating inside looked to be a nice experience as well. read more

I found Craft Kitchen and Bar in search of brunch for Mothers Day. The brunch menu looked great as did the restaurant. The choices for the 3 courses were a great variety along with the bottomless drinks choices. My mom & I ordered a mango and peach Bellini. They both tasted the same, but we're still good. We had the half romaine salad and guacamole bruschetta to start. For our second course we had the Spicy Colonel Sanders and The Big Lou. The portions for both these courses were great and everything tasted delicious. We didn't finish to save room for dessert. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. I would come back to try dinner for sure. read more

Met some friends here and the food and drinks were delicious! I had the tagliatelle pesto and it was perfectly cooked and a good size. It was not enough for leftovers, but that was what I wanted, since we were over an hour from home. Table also had burnt ends sandwich (good but very hard to eat, messy), the risotto with scallops and the desserts were very good and good sized - Chocolate cake and almond torte. My gin and yuzu drink was very nice and tart. Service was excellent. I would recommend!!! My only small complaint was that you have to know it's in the Panda House Plaza in the back. We drove right by it, even though I knew that was the correct address. Also it's dark, so bring those reading glasses. read more

I really enjoyed this restaurant. This was a last minute decision. I feel like it was not as busy because it's a hidden gem. We had a party of 5 and all enjoyed our food. The drinks were perfectly made and the staff regularly refilled our water. We had finished and still felt comfortable to sit and talk. I loved the fact that we weren't pushed out. The atmosphere inside was great but we sat outside. The manager seemed to be really observant about everything happening. The only negative was the toilets in the women's restrooms. The toilets had a little difficulty flushing. read more

Amazing food and staff. Chris was knowledgeable, friendly and put up with two tried campers at the end of a long drive back home from vacation. Portions are generous.

We will definitely be back! We were celebrating a birthday and I was able to come in a little early to drop off the birthday and put some balloons on the table. They do a nice job accommodating a large group. I had the grilled octopus appetizer and mushroom ravioli for dinner. The octopus was nicely grilled and served with flavorful fingerling potatoes and a savory sherry vinaigrette. The mushroom ravioli was light, airy and full of flavor, not like a traditional dish, heavy in a cream sauce. I also had the red sangria and it was sweet and refreshing. Craft is must! read more

I was meeting a friend and this restaurant was one of three options we considered. I checked out the menu along with pics of the place and thought it would be perfect for our birthday lunch. We both live approx 45 min in opposite directions so it was perfect. We ordered tacos, I got the grilled shrimp and she ordered the fish tacos. It normally comes with French fries but we both preferred a side salad which they willingly did for no extra charge. Both entrees were delicious, generous and served at the perfect temperature. I had told the waitress, before my friend arrived, that we would are celebrating her birthday. At the end of the meal she brought over what appears to have been a creme brûlée cheese cake with a candle compliments of the house. Such a great surprise. This was perfect and I would make the trip back up to eat here even if not meeting a friend, sorry for no food pics, forgot ! Too busy catching up with each other. read more

The atmosphere seemed nice here, but I didn't eat - just drinks for my girl and I. They had a great beer selection and pricey mixed drinks - all of which were very good. It seems someone invented the marketing term "craft cocktails". It means you can charge a lot more for something bartenders have been mixing up for a thousand years or so. My father was telling me, "Nobody orders Tom Collins's or Whiskey Sours so much anymore, but believe me - in my day there were many complicated mixed drinks. You'd be surprised." I might come back and try the food, but I have to give that some thought. This Danbury location had a wonderful bartender hitting on my wife the whole time, which was partly amusing then mostly annoying. I still gave him a decent tip, hoping he'll save up and maybe move out of his parents house and find himself his own girl with a paid Tinder membership. If you're a single girl or divorcee, I strongly recommend a seat at the bar. You won't be missed - there's a guy in heat behind the bar. read more
