THECRAFT

Lured in by the photographs of Chicago-style deep dish pizza displayed on the sidewalk in front the restaurant, we may have had impossibly high expectations for this restaurant. While the half dozen other restaurants that we failed to get in earlier were fully booked Friday night, the Craft’s availa...ble tables may have been a harbinger for our disappointment. My deep dish pizza - the Diavola - was undercooked in the middle, to the point of being soupy. While the crust was well cooked (difficult for deep dish!), the inside of the pizza was soupy to the point that it was difficult to eat. My partner’s mushroom and bacon pasta was decidedly fine, but, in similar fashion to the pizza, very much not worth the price paid. The beer selection is, indeed, unique - beer lovers may appreciate this place - but my disappointment vis-a-vis the pizza overshadowed all else. We join the chorus of others who found this place overpriced and lacking in quality and, as such, won’t be back.

Beer and food was great! Price was definitely worth it! A must! Have a good snack/meal enjoy a variety of beers and head back out.

Stay away. Overpriced for tiny beers and they have the gaul to add in a seat charge. Staff trying too hard to look good rather than serve. $40 for two 300ml beers. Feeling ripped off.

Really nice place with good beer and great food! Get there early if you don’t have reservations. Good selection of north island beers

Stopped in for a beer. Was great. Free popcorn. Had the grilled edamame. Where has this been? I would stop in for another beer if ever in the area.
