This place is awesome! We have been here twice now and both times were a gas. The first time we…read moreshowed up, we just did it a a spur of the moment on my birthday. Second time was a week later so we could take my niece for her birthday. I love trying new places and checking out their specialty cocktails. They have very unique cocktails with very unique names. Each cocktail has a fun story or description to it as well. They were all very tasty. My favorite, so far, is the Trust Fund Tiki. That is a dangerously good drink. Many of the drinks also come in very fun or classy looking glasses. So far, I have had, along with the drink I have already mentioned, the Cheeky Cheeky, the Porn Star, Irish Goodbye, and the Flirt in the Fruit Isle. They are all delicious and unique in their own ways. The bartenders are a blast too. We had great conversations with them and joked around. The second time we went we got food. I got the fried oysters, my husband got the chicken wings, my niece got the salad and her boyfriend got a chicken sandwich. Everything was fresh and they were cool and brought out my oysters right as they were ready so I had them nice and fresh. The decor... what can I say? Swanky, cool, fun, lots of conversation pieces. We will definitely be back.

Not the lame video content where 2 seconds into a bite an actor says it is soooo amazing. This is the real deal. As far as Oaxacan, straight up nails the flavor profile - which only comes with multiple preparation steps, layers, and time. Thus the expense. The only authenticity deviation I can tell is that the spice level is much lower, which my wife appreciated. It has been so long since I've had a mole that didn't taste like Hershey coco powder cooked in an overly sweet base with a little pork fat. Or from a Sysco can. After having some great experiences in northern Mexico and southern CA, in the decades since I had given up on finding a good mole. Their Mole Negro was incredibly favorable and dances on the tongue for a solid 30 seconds. Braised beef short rib was perfectly cooked and fork tender. Mole - mwah! Can't recall ever having a charred sunchoke (as a side), but now it is on my radar because that was super tasty. Barbacoa de borrego... during a trip going through Quintana Roo, I shared a meal with an ethnic Mayan community where the meat was freshly slaughters, dry rubbed, wrapped in leaves, and slow pit cooked over embers in the ground. Amano's style is using agave, which I liked. From time to time I purchase Boise River lamb at the Meridian Main Street Farmers Market. It's way better than New Zealand lamb which always seems a little gamey/off to me. The broth provided just elevated each mouthful. To have local Boise River lamb prepared as an authentic barbacoa... Given the amount of meat you get, it's totally worth the $108 splurge. But wait, there's more. Scallop crudo - my wife said it reminded her of the fresh shrimp and fish ceviche we had in Playa del Carmen. I loved the pairing with jicama and slice of de-seeded jalapeno (not spicy). Only warning - the dry spice they sprinkle scallops with can be a bit strong for some. Beans, simply amazing. Rice, pretty good. 4 salsa's offered a real diversity of flavors to do different pairings. Provided tortillas seemed more like authentic maize that is well worked, not the fragile disks you can get in the grocery store. The tres leche lavender cake was enjoyable, but didn't blow me away. Everyone was very friendly. Our server was awesome and super helpful. Great menu of mescals, which was perfect for resetting the pallet. I guess they are going to start up a tasting room in the near future, which would be pretty interesting. To get that real taste without having to spend thousands on getting to where the authentic exists - simply awesome.

A friend recommended Amano, and from the moment we walked in, it reminded me of being back in…read moreCalifornia. The service was impressive, and every detail was so thoughtfully considered! Our server, Ashley, was absolutely wonderful. Since it was our first visit, she thoroughly explained the menu and made excellent suggestions. She even showed me where Chef and owner Sal prepares the meats underground overnight and explained the extensive process behind them. Ashley then introduced me to Sal before giving me a peek inside the mezcal tasting room. I loved the agave goddess artwork in there! Sadly, I didn't get to meet his wife and business partner, Becca--but hopefully I will when we return! Ashley also took the time to show me the entrance to Cán Coctelería--Amano's speakeasy--from their outdoor dining patio. Now I have yet another reason to return! We started with drinks and cornbread. My Cadillac margarita was impressive! I also tried my hubby's Café de Olla--¡delicioso! I sampled their mezcal as well, and it was so tasty and warmed my heart in the best possible way! The cornbread was incredibly moist and buttery. They also serve a delicious sweet wheat bread that, in my opinion, is even better than chips and salsa! For my meal, I ordered the chilaquiles with eggs over easy and added birria. They were excellent! I love when the chips still have some texture and aren't completely soggy. These had the perfect sauce-to-chip ratio, along with a little spice--which I loved! My husband ordered the birria tacos and absolutely devoured them. The refreshing towel offered after our meal was another thoughtful touch and the perfect way to end the experience. Overall, I truly loved Amano! The food was delicious, the service was memorable, and the entire experience felt special. I'm already looking forward to returning, experiencing Cán Coctelería, and bringing our friends and relatives whenever they come to visit!

It tasted even better than I remembered--rich, earthy, and perfect. Cocktails: Still top-tier. Consistently some of the best drinks in town. Spicy Calamari: My old "usual." A little less tangy than I recall, but still a great start to the meal. Flat Iron French Dip: Very solid, though the Double Smash Burger looked so good I'll have to get that next time. The staff was fantastic--attentive and welcoming. It's rare for a place to live up to the nostalgia, but this spot still has great vibes.

Since…read morethere are two locations, we opted for the Caldwell location because it's closer to our homes in Middleton. What a fantastic choice! We received wonderful service when we first arrived, and the restaurant wasn't too busy. As the lunch rush picked up, our table service did slow down a bit (felt a little neglected towards the end). To our server's credit, though, she had several tables arrive at once!! I ordered the salmon, and it was absolutely delicious! We also shared the Brussels sprouts as an appetizer--highly recommend them! I don't remember exactly what my sister-in-law ordered, but this definitely wasn't her first visit. She's gluten-free and really enjoyed her meal as well. One thing I really appreciated is that Craft offers plenty of gluten-free options, which makes dining here much easier for those with dietary restrictions. I also loved the décor--it has a warm, modern, and inviting atmosphere. You can see what I mean in my photos! Overall, we had a great experience with delicious food, a welcoming atmosphere, and friendly service. We're already looking forward to coming back soon!

I walked in and OMG, It's way bigger than I thought and so stunning! The booths and chandeliers were very classy. The bartender Mel assisted me and she was very pleasant. She let me know that while they have coffee drinks, she's not much of a barista...they have an experienced barista on staff but they only work there from about 7am to 1pm and I was there approx 1:30pm. She stated she could make simple lattes but nothing all that fancy from the coffee menu as cocktails are her actual specialty so I decided to go with alcoholic libations since that's what she knows how to make. One that stood out to me was called the "Figgy Fizz" which is made with a fig syrup and I was excited as for breakfast yesterday I had the best Greek yogurt I've ever had which was honey and fig flavored so I was definitely in a fig mood lol she whipped up the drink but unfortunately after she handed it to me, she let me know she couldn't find the fig syrup they put in it so she substituted that with pumpkin spice. I was kind of bummed about that and wished she would have asked me first if that substitution was okay with me or if I'd want to try something else because now it's not a "figgy fizz" but a pumpkin spice fizz but I still drank it and it was decent. I decided to try one more drink which was a pomegranate rosemary lemon drop and it was beautiful and very tasty ! It's a nice spot to have a drink, the staff is quite friendly and they have some unique flavors so i can see myself frequenting this establishment. I want to come back soon and give their coffee drinks a try when I can stop by earlier!

He said the taco, in whole, was pretty good but not 12$ good. Beers and white claws are 5$, at least the ones we tried. The place itself is very clean and not super noisy. The bar tenders (we sat at the bar) were very nice. Polite. We probably won't be back unless the menu changes, sadly, but if we were just in the mood for drinks, maybe!
