My wife and I love eating at craft. Our favorite thing about this place, even more than the amazing staff, is the incredible selection of appetizers! They are all so good that it is always hard to just pick one.

Their beer burger is amazing, maple goodness. Always great service and a great atmosphere, I especially love their new art ;). Get the bread pudding, you won't be sorry.

Shamefully, I kind of forget about Craft, but I shouldn't - it's so good! The drinks are spectacular - I got a blueberry basil margarita, and it was one of the best drinks I've ever had. I ordered the Tuscan chicken pasta, and it was also delicious. It was huge - I got a total of three meals out of it. The waitstaff was so friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend stopping!
