    I loved the Breakfast buffet at this restaurant. However the Christmas buffet experience was just okay. I was disappointed at the lack of kid friendly options, and for as much as we paid, I really feel like there should have been more variety. Service was good, and the atmosphere was nice.

    We really enjoyed the Christmas buffet for our first time. The food was all tasty - especially for a buffet. The only thing that kept it from being almost perfect was the temporary running out of prime rib. After waiting some time for it to be replenished, I finally gave up and ate the rest of the meal. My husband did go back for some after eating his dessert, and it was very good. We understand that it can be difficult to judge, and that would not prevent us from eating here again. The dessert choice was amazing, and they tasted as good as they looked!

    Thanksgiving supper at Food Craft was perfect. Sat outside on a beautiful day. While the placed was booked solid, it didn’t feel crowded or overly busy. The food selection was good and varied, but the ambiance is unbeatable.
