craftbar

Location: Flatiron (btn 20th St. and Broadway)

A few weeks ago, I had dinner at Chef Tom Colicchio's restaurant - Craftbar. For those who need an introduction, Tom Colicchio is the judge on Top Chef (I'm addicted to the current All Stars series!), and he also owns Craft, Craftsteak, and 'wichcraft. Craft is his upscale restaurant in NY, Dallas, and LA. Craftsteak is, clearly as the name states, his steakhouse with locations in Las Vegas, NY, and Foxwoods. And 'wichcraft is his sandwich shop around NY (one in Bryant Park and another near KTown). 

We had a group of 8 people at dinner, and we loved it! It has a very chill, relaxing, yet elegant feeling to the place. And needless to say, the food was delicious!! 

We started off the night with a bottle of the Vernaccia Nera "Collequanto" from Italy. It was so good that we ordered additional bottle refills after we finished the first one!

Appetizers: white anchovy & soft cooked egg bruschetta and pecorino risotto balls.

Entree: Red Snapper. Yum!! It's already half-eaten!!!

Entree: One of the specials of the night. Duck?

After dinner, we had drinks at 230 5th - a rooftop lounge that offers a beautiful view of Manhattan. Since it was still cold outside, they offered us red robes to keep us warm!




 
Can't wait to try Craft next!! Which Craft restaurant is your favorite??
