The Craftsman Tavern

Saturday night, my friends and I dined at this restaurant, and it was a delightful experience. Despite being a party of five, we were seated quickly, which was impressive given the bustling atmosphere. The menu offers a wide array of tempting options. My friend and I opted to share four appetizers, which turned out to be a generous amount of food—something to keep in mind for future visits! First up were the Brussels sprouts, which I highly recommend. They were perfectly crunchy, saucy, and boasted an excellent blend of flavors. The poke was next; while the fish was of high quality and tasted good, I would have loved if it included seaweed salad and wonton chips instead of the provided chips. The sweet potato tater tots were another highlight, accompanied by ranch and BBQ sauce. They were delightfully crunchy on the outside and came in a large portion, ideal for sharing. Lastly, the fondue cheese dip didn't quite meet my expectations for flavor, though the pretzel bread was enjoyable. One of my friends ordered the burger with butternut squash soup, and she couldn't stop raving about it. Another friend chose the four-cheese ravioli and highly recommended it as well. The service was exceptional; our server was both kind and efficient, handling the busy evening with ease. The restaurant was packed, with not a single empty seat in sight. As for drinks, I tried the blackberry cider beer, which I found quite nice. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant. The delicious food and inviting ambiance ensure I'll be returning!

I went there to kill some time waiting for my truck to get a tire fixed. I sat at the bar and waited for the bartender to acknowledge that I was there. There were about 8 people in the place. 10 minutes later she came over and I ordered a Paloma. It was horrible. I asked her for a menu and asked about the Cowboy Chili. She said oh it delicious. It came out very fast. I took one bite and it tasted like Hormel Chili. It was the exact same consistency and exactly the same flavor. Another bartender came on about 20 minutes into my visit. I tried talking to him and he seemed very grouchy. I saw him making a drink and I asked hey bro what are you making? His response was a cocktail. I stood up and walked out. I will never visit that establishment ever again.

Went here to meet friends for a bite and drinks. We made it for happy hour which was ok. The drinks were good. Everything was priced very high. In my opinion the value and the quality of food didn't totally match up. The food was fine but not for the money.

It took a while to get served. When my drink came- it was a very watered down, marguerita that did not at all taste chili infused. My son ordered a glass of the house red wine and it tasted terribly like vinegar. I haven't eaten here for a few years and it used to be really good- it was AWFUL. Our waitress took the orders at 2 other tables that came in after us, - I (nicely) flagged her down twice- and she nodded, but then ignored our table. Not sure why as we didn't do anything offensive. Ordered the hot honey flatbread and there was NO hot honey drizzle on it which is why we ordered it. (My son's Steak Diane was good.) Overall it was a huge disappointment terrible service, horrible cocktails, bad wine and mediocre food .

To start off, it was happy hour when we showed up with reservations. It took 20-30 minutes to get our drinks. The drinks were awful. The service was very slow, and the restaurant was quite noisy. This was not my choice of restaurants as we met family before we hit the road. Brunch is better than dinner, in my opinion. Order wisely and be patient.

I was not a fan. The restaurant was not that busy and there was no staff seen. We didn’t get menus untill ~15 mins in. The truffle fries where soaked in oil. I ordered the mussels and the sause was not good at all. My husband got the pizza and said it tasted like frozen store bought pizza. We did not get drinks but looking at the drink menu it was very expensive.

Very nice craft restaurant by the owners of Blue Ribbon Pizza. Butterscotch Pudding is a must have!!! The menu changes seasonally. I really liked the pork belly with corn chowder. Usually we get a lot of appetizers so we can taste a lot of dishes. Easy parking in the strip mall. They serve a very nice brunch with bottomless mimosas and bloody marys.

Super friendly, attentive staff For what you’re paying, the food is excellent
