" The atmosphere at The Craft House truly feels like stepping back in time – the historic charm is wonderful! The wait staff were all very welcoming and attentive. I tried the pierogies and they were absolutely amazing – bursting with flavor and paired well with sour cream. I also recommend their craft cocktails; I had an espresso martini that was deliciously made! Only thing I wished was that they had more outdoor seating for lovely days. Overall, it was an excellent experience and can’t wait to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I attended a birthday party at The Craft House, and it was a fun venue! They set up a nice area for the party with plenty of space. I really enjoyed the crab cakes – they were flavorful and added a touch of elegance to our meal. I would recommend trying their craft cocktails too; the mixologist was impressive. To top it all off, the atmosphere of this historic house is just lovely, making it perfect for gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to have dinner here as we’ve heard good things and the ambiance was cozy. While waiting for our food, we enjoyed the craft beer—they had a really good selection. My fish tacos were delicious, but my partner’s chicken salad lacked flavor. We were impressed by the service, though; incredibly attentive throughout the meal. I’d give them another shot, hoping for better food consistency next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited The Craft House last weekend with friends and it was a delightful experience! The cozy ambiance of the historic building reminded me of a charming pub from the past. We started with some nachos, which were surprisingly generous in portion, and then I had the shrimp tacos. They were bursting with flavor and very fresh. The service was a bit slow, as they seemed a bit understaffed, but our waiter was very polite and attentive. I'd definitely come back, especially for the live music they have on weekends! " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to hit up The Craft House for a special night out. The place was packed, and it really has a warm, inviting charm to it. We ordered the special for the night, which was a seafood paella – it was hearty and full of flavor. Although we had to wait a bit for our food, the service did their best, and we enjoyed the live band playing while we waited. I think this is a place full of character, and I’d love to return to try more of their features! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to The Craft House didn't quite meet my expectations. While the ambiance was lovely and the historic feel of the place is unique, I was disappointed with the food quality. I ordered the Craft House special fish and chips, but the fish was dry and overcooked. Fortunately, my friend loved her salad and remarked on its freshness. Service was adequate but not remarkable; our server was polite but not very engaging. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I'm not sure if I would return. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Craft House is a hidden gem! I went there for the first time last week and was taken aback by how friendly everyone was. My friends and I shared some appetizers, including the wings, which were flavorful and more than enough for sharing. I particularly loved the ambiance with the historical decor and relaxed vibe. As for the main course, I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich – it was perfectly seasoned and juicy! Great beer selection too. Will definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)
