Fried Green Tomato Stack
Joshua L.

Upon entering this ford avenue establishment one is greeted by the hostess accompanied by the rustic charm of a cozy country home adorning the walls. In addition, to the classy presentation in the front entry way there are two to three dinning areas in the restaurant. One is the bar to the far right. Another is the slim corridor in the middle of the space which employs a smart looking wood finished floor. The third is a square room with a fireplace under a taxidermy elk. I thought the decor was classy, rustic, and thoughtful. Albeit a little dark and they did not do enough not to remind guests that they are dinning at the old Beijing house. I could still see touches of the old Beijing house which made me sad about its closing. Service: I thought the service was a little lacking especially on the front end of my experience. It took the server a while to greet me and even longer to bring out my drink. I wanted to order the soup of the day and a fried green tomato appetizer. But I was interrupted in between ordering the two dishes to be told they ran out of the French onion soup. The server also did not pre-bus well and left my empty glass on the table when she brought me a new sweet tea. The service improved toward the end of the meal when my server became more accommodating and offered things like a to go box and dessert. She even offered me a Togo drink which I found more than hospital. Food: The food was pretty good and I have to say executed well. The Fried Green tomatoes were good but a little pricey for the portion size. The Redfish and grits were cooked excellently. Definitely homemade grits and the fish was definitely seasoned Cajun style. Personally I found my particular filet a little fishy earnest the bloodline. The food was good but nothing to write home about. Overall: This is a nice classy restaurant and I like that they are open during lunch hours. If you like the classic feel of an old southern homestead you'll like this place. For me I thought the food and service could have been a little better. It's fairly good, but did not blow me away.

Short ribs and schnitzel
Meghan L.

Amazing food! We had: - Fields of Berries cocktail (good) - Rock candy old fashioned (good) - Southern fried schnitzel (great) - Slow braised short ribs (great) - Banana pudding cheesecake (great) We liked the atmosphere and service, too. The whole experience was fantastic.

Cheese and fruit spread

Great food Excellent service Very comfortable ambiance We enjoyed dinner there so much we held a family event later. Everyone enjoyed the event thanks to the great buffet and dedicated service of the staff.

Espresso Martini & Chocolate Godiva Cake
Jessica C.

Espresso martini was made perfectly, nice light foam on top. The chocolate Godiva cake was moist and mousse was on point! We also tied the bread basket with the honey lavender butter and ughhhh, the warm biscuits paired with the butter was lovely! The menu includes a recipe for the biscuits, definitely need to snap a picture next time! My husband loved the Banana pudding cheesecake and peach margarita!

Ordered short ribs, got a pot roast.

Place looked cool, couple folks told us about it so we figured we'd check it out. We were told 15 minute wait so we sat at the bar. No drinks.... We were sat at the table, asked for drinks in a reasonable amount of time, however the wait for the drinks was way too long. After we received the drinks, no follow up. And when there was, she didn't ask if we wanted another drink. Ambiance was decent, they turned the music on an hour before they closed. So, back to the food... three short rib orders and a hamburger. Hamburger was asked to be pink, no pink! Short rib, we're actually chuck roast, not short ribs. Food was good. Dessert was, ok. Hummingbird cake... A lot of potential here, need to make some adjustments and you'll get there.

My bartender had no idea how to make a drink. I think he was trying to get me drunk. Straight liquor.

We probably go to Crafted about once a month when we can sneak away from the kids for a bit. I…read morestill can't believe this little hidden gem is in Richmond Hill! The atmosphere inside is both intimate and welcoming with comfy chairs at cozy tables. They have room for couples as well as slightly larger groups. It's a great place for a date night or a friendly gathering. The food is always delicious. They have a smaller menu that changes seasonally, which to me means that whatever they make, they make it well. The service is above and beyond. The waitstaff is always friendly and attentive. It feels like they're genuinely happy to see you. Now, for the drinks. They have a cocktail menu that also rotates seasonally, but I'm not really a big drinker. They have mocktails on the menu which are always delicious. The last time I was there, I wanted a mocktail with a lavender flavor, so I asked if they could make something like that. What I ended up with was a lovely concoction that was both pretty to look at and tasted fantastic. I was not disappointed. I wish I knew the name of the mixologist who made my drink, because she's always so nice. She even came by to make sure I enjoyed my mocktail. This place is just lovely and worth a visit.

One of the best places for a great atmosphere & light dinner in Richmond Hill. I'm not a fan of…read moretheir ginger beer and they always want to put bourbon in mules & other cocktails that typically have white liquor, and they add cream or baileys to their espresso martinis, which is all a little strange for me so I typically stick w prosecco if drinking but the small bites are good and atmosphere too. Try the Brussel sprouts. The burger used to be really good but it's changed over time. I wish they wouldn't change something that was so good but it is what it is. Shrimp ceviche is new and it's ok. Their menu changes but typically has some staples that stay. Service is always good
