My…read morefriends and I came on a Wednesday night and the servers were all super kind, knowledgeable, and patient as we arrived late to our reservation. They were also so kind to give me a complimentary glass of prosecco to celebrate my birthday. Wednesdays are $2 off all cider and wines so my friends enjoyed that deal as well. The Wedge changes their menu on a weekly basis so I was excited to see what was on this weeks menu so naturally we had to get multiple dishes to share in order to try as much as possible. We ordered two pasta dishes, truffle fries for the table, and brussel sprouts to share family style and we didn't leave a crumb behind! All the dishes were more unique than a typical pasta dish you may find elsewhere which was extra fun and soo delicious! The brussels were so soft and topped with so much flavor. I would love to come again to try their brunch menu and continue coming throughout the year to try many new items as their menu rotates. I really wanted to try their mac and cheese so I am determined to come back at the right time for that one!

Cocktails were imaginative with a wide variety. Personally tried to Ceasar Salad Martini for something different and the Berry the Hatchett for my favorite kinda of of cocktail. Spicy! Loved both. Ceasar Salad Martini truly tasted like a light ceasar salad. All the food was fantastic, shrimp bisque, poached pear salad, steak with fabulous mashed potatoes, and one of the best lava cakes I've ever had and a shockingly good combo of Basque cheesecake and blood orange. And not to mention their cheese platter to start the night! Staff was friendly. Inside is cute and cozy, feels like an upscale Cafe with adorable artwork. Great place for a special occasion or just a catch up date night. Cannot wait to go back.

We had enjoyed the atmosphere And meals in the past when it was the mission restaurant so we thought why not! Needless to say, I felt there were some things that were ultimate fail for a fine dining restaurant and we most likely won't be back. Full disclosure I did share a direct message with them through Resy I never heard back from them, which tells me volumes. Small things like the barstools being too low to the bar as we were having cocktails it was so uncomfortable. We decided to have our cocktails at our table. Our server, the hostess and bartender were attentive and amazing. The main reason we came to the restaurant was the Duck meal they wound up being out of by 6:30 that night.My husband did choose as a substitute the braised lamb shank with the mint gremalata. Lamb was very tender, but 100% lacking in every way of the mint flavor. My swordfish was cooked perfectly, although plain and I was excited about turnips As I love them. Unfortunately they came out raw tasteless and inedible. I commented to our waiter and he said well they're Japanese so that's the way they are. All in all the dessert menu left us flat so we went out to another place for dessert & after dinner drinks. The percentage they add to your check for the back of the house gratuity is offensive. Just pay your people more and don't expect the diners to have to Pay up for your kitchen staff, as well as tipping the front of the house staff which got less of a tip because we had a tip the back of the house. All the hype some of it's real, most of it's not, glad we tried. It won't be back. There are too many other places and Upstate, New York.

My friend really enjoyed a sangria drink as well. I ordered a burger with chips instead of fries - it came out with fries that were SO good and crisp I decided to just keep them and was quite satisfied. Our server (Evian?) was amazing, patient and gracious and gave personalized service for a group of 10+. She even took a picture for us! The manager came to check in during our meal as well. My ongoing complaint with Craftsman is the ambiance. It is gorgeous inside, the patio is pretty okay, but I have never been a comfortable temperature there...either way too hot or way too cold! I recognize that could be personal preference or a seasonal issue but it's been my experience more than once. They are currently doing some construction in the hall outside the bathrooms. I personally think it is a little overpriced but what they offer is higher quality than some similarly priced restaurants in the area so it doesn't deter me, I just know when I'm there I'll spend a bit.

We had a reservation and were seated as soon as we arrived…read more Our table was a mismatch of a 4 top and 2 top that were slightly different heights so that was awkward. We had calamari and Utica greens for starters. The calamari was bland to my taste but the rest of the party liked them. The greens were fine, could've used some spice. Very small portion. I had the branzino oreganata. Fish was cooked well and the tomatoes on the side were tasty. The asparagus was bland and one piece was woody. Not bad overall. I will say that the entrees don't come with a soup or salad so that's something to be aware of. I'm not sure if this happens regularly but there was also a dude named Pinky playing keyboard and sax in the corner. Never thought I would hear smooth jazz versions of "Sweet Caroline" or "Danny Boy" or even "If I were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof. Certainly an international setlist. Overall a fine experience.

Absolutely one of the best espresso martinis I've had. For appetizers, we got the Thai chili tossed Brussels sprouts with garlic aioli, and they were to die for. Perfectly seasoned, crispy, and flavorful -- honestly, I could've just eaten that and been happy! For dinner, I had the Chicken Française, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. My husband ordered the fish and chips and said the tartar sauce was some of the best he's ever had. My son got the shrimp tacos topped with pineapple pico and served with homemade chips -- sooo good! We ended the night with dessert (because how could we not?): a layered brownie and cookie dough cake and a maple crème brûlée. Both were phenomenal and the perfect sweet ending.

Service never disappoints, and whoever was behind the bar deserves a shoutout because that blackberry margarita was dangerous. I went back for round two and I'm not sorry about it. Dessert was a dense chocolate cake that didn't even last long enough for a photo, which says everything. Consistently good food, fabulous drinks, and a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel like family.

We ordered the bang bang shrimp appetizer, and the batter was so crispy and also fluffy (almost like a battered haddock but lighter) - awesome! The bang bang sauce has great flavor, but slightly too mayo forward for my preferences - but ate it up nonetheless and would get them again! I also ordered a blackberry margarita- which I will say was strong, but the flavors were great. When I asked if they minded giving me a couple Slices of lemon and some simple syrup (and yes I admitted that it was a ME problem, not that they made it poorly- it was just stronger and I'm a big wimp!) , they promptly, no questions asked said "we got this" and put the drink back in the shaker and added some simple syrup (mind you I was totally fine with just a little shot glass of it to dump in my drink!) - so the willingness to be so helpful was very appreciated. As for our entrees, one of us ordered the Cajun Alfredo and one of us ordered the Tropical Salmon, both were made incredibly well, and the flavor and seasoning was fantastic! The Alfredo sauce when I tried it was lovely, not so thick and "artery clogging" as some Alfredo can be, but coated the noodles beautifully and packed a flavorful punch. The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the pineapple and coconut in the rice made for an amazingly delicious dish. We were also fortunate to sit at a window overlooking the swan pond and then take a nice walk around the pond. So lovely- cannot wait to go back!!
