    Our waitress and server were both excellent. It's always fun to see the specials they have on the menu, as well as their drink specials. The burrata salad is amazing! The smash burger is the best around, and the butter cake is unreal!

    I have been to Craft House for their happy hour, which is delicious and reasonably priced. But I never considered it for brunch until I came to the REDO antique market today. It will be my new go to spot! Started with the most delicious bloody NAUDI. Blue cheese, stuffed olives, and bacon, and just the right amount of spice! Convinced my friend that we should share the chicken and waffles and each ordered an egg on the side literally have died and gone to heaven! Crispy juicy chicken, bourbon butter on the waffles. We asked to have the syrup heated, which was the right call! Poured on top of everything and the flavor profile was delicious! We really wanted to try the pistachio coffee cake, but were too full. I’ll be back for sure! Alex, our server was present, responsive and funny! Very fair prices and no up charge on the egg!

    Great atmosphere and decor. Parking can be challenging, but parking on street behind helps. Staff is amazing and so friendly. Food was 7/10. Great presentation, perfect portion sizes, and fresh ingredients. Food needs a little more flavor, but other than that great all around. Also, good bartenders here that make some nice drinks

    Went specifically around chicken pot pie but it wasn’t on the menu. Their social push featured chicken pot pie - chick bait. Was told “farmers market fresh blah blah”. Pot pie is carrot , celery , onion, maybe mushroom. $400 for 4 - not amazing
