    We were seated in private dining room and it was ideal for our 12 party group. Everyone commented on how they enjoyed a variety of dishes. Drinks and desserts also delicious,

    Server was very nice. After reading the reviews we were excited for a nice meal. Unfortunately, most of the components of our meals were way off. The greens that accompanied the crab cakes were crazy salty! I love salt…but even for me I had to spit out. The crab cakes were very thin; without much substance. The tri tip was like a rubber tire! Literally we took turns trying to cut it; and it was nearly impossible! I mentioned to sever; and she said it’s a common complaint…why in the world it’s even on menu is beyond me! I wanted to ask her why she didn’t tell us ahead of time so that we didn’t waste all of that money!!! Nice location, and the server still got a good tip…but super disappointed with experience here.

    Potatoes that came with fish and chips were outstanding. Like smashed and great flavor. Fried green tomatoes are a must

    Average food, decent service, nothing to write home about. Reminded me of a Disney Resort restaurant.

    We ate at Foodcraft several time during a week-long stay. The food was uniformly excellent. Very tasty, not too salty. Service was very good and the views are amazing! We kept going back because it was so good.

    Had their Thursday night specials. Very good and ample portions. Glass of wine included was a bonus. However the noise level was very annoying. Could hardly hear the person across the table. Would go back on a different night.
