From the Restaurant
Tom Colicchio's Craft in New York City received the James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant nationwide in 2002, and five years later brought Craft across the country to join the other "top chefs" in Los Angeles. His new American dishes marry the finest ingredients, haute cuisine and family-style service. Under the execution of Chef de Cuisine Matthew Accarrino, Craft features produce from local organic farms, all-natural meats and amazingly fresh seafood. With the award-winning architectural design of Bentel and Bentel, and under the glow of filament bulbs, diners share from dishes that celebrate 'single' ingredients, expertly and simply prepared.Awarded Three Stars by S. Irene Virbila of the Los Angeles Times, she states:"THIS is modern American cooking -- unfussy, direct, strong. Colicchio's food is not intellectual -- and that's a compliment. ... It's also evident in the generous portions. He cooks for people who like to eat."

their doughnuts are amazing. the scallops were delicious. and the green beans, carrots and turnips… wow.. i never tasted veggies so good! also tried the olive oil gelato. it wasn’t as bad as i thought it’d be. the pumpkin pie was good, although the cranberry gelato tasted “soap-ish.” Our server started off good in the beginning, but towards the end became slow and forgetful.

In a nutshell, I was very disappointed. When one of our many servers was serving our cocktails, she spilled one of them on me. Unfortunately, it was a bad start to the evening. The quality of the food is top-notch, but I would’ve enjoyed more flavors. The hamachi with apricots was clean and simple, the ribeye was perfectly cooked, and the sweet shrimp risotto was good…but not outstanding. I’d have to say that the doughnuts saved the meal. Also, the gelato and sorbet sampler was a nice gesture by our servers. I definitely forgot about the mishap. After our experience at Gramercy Tavern (when it was under Colicchio), I really wish that he had brought Gramercy Tavern to LA instead of Craft.
