The ambience of the wood grill and lighting make it cozy and relaxing !! The specials were amazing ! Lobster corn dog is a must, Ribeye with grill shrimp is also a absolute , the dipping sauces chimmiechurrie and bearnaise sauce were perfect with the steak and seafood! Pricey but absolutely worth it.

All style no substance. It’s as if you’re paying for the ambiance more than anything. I didn’t think that the service was terrible. The food wasn’t horrible but it definitely was not worth the prices. The lobster cornbread was three pieces of claw meat deep fried in cornbread, the sea bass was pretty good but the crispy potatoes, they were more display then anything. The burger was a good size but not a $20 burger and then $3 for toppings.

Not super impressed, based on the prices the food wasn't particularly at par - some of it was actually pretty mediocre. Much of the food was good, I enjoyed my burger and sweet potatoes fries but, the Cole slaw was terrible and the soup special was bland. The beer menu wasn't super well balanced, some of the descriptions didn't make sense and the prices made me think I was in NYC.

The Craftsman is a beautiful restaurant with a hotel directly next door. Walking distance for sure. We found parking without a problem despite there was a wedding party there too. Speaking of, there was so so so much seating that we didn't have to be on top of or even near anyone. There are private rooms for bigger parties which is AWESOME!!! The appetizers and drinks came out super fast and Man oh man were they great. A couple more ipa's later and our dinner arrived. WOW was it all great. Dessert was excellent as well as the presentation of every dish. Well put together for sure. The waitress

Good food with a lot of unique dishes like deviled duck eggs and s'mores creme brulee, but also familiar favorites like fish and chips, buttermilk chicken, and burgers, and nice atmosphere to the restaurant. They have a nice patio area with fires. The service was a little slow, but not unusual considering that everywhere has staffing shortages and also we had a large group of over 10 people. The staff was very friendly. I would recommend this place for a special occasion (but casual dress is totally fine).

Having been recommended to Craftsman by the rave reviews of a friend, I stopped in for dinner when business took me to the area. I was certainly not disappointed !! Great ambiance, tasty food, with friendly staff (and a manager who checked in). Of particular mention was my bartender, Zariah. Her attentiveness coupled with a delightfully friendly nature, managed to take an already wonderful evening at Craftsman to another level. Thank You one and all :)

Had the BEST steak last night. The back deck was the perfect place for the girls to get together for wine and food. The wood grilled asparagus and beat salad was delicious. Our server was fantastic and very attentive. We also had the manager come over to check on things twice during our dining experience. It was a great night. I can’t wait to go back.

Met a small group of friends on a beautiful Thursday night and sat out on the patio. The ambiance was perfect, and our waitress was wonderful - suggested some great dishes. The food came out quickly, but not so immediately that we didn’t have time for wine and conversation. I had the wagyu sirloin, and we shared an order of crispy cauliflower to start. Everything was cooked perfectly and the food was delicious. One of my favorite places in the area!
