I finally got to Craft last month, Chef Tom Colicchio's solid American restaurant in the Flatiron district. Many people had told me they loved Craft, and I was able to see why. It's a restaurant that serves perfectly executed American fare, inspired by what is fresh from the greenmarket.
Roasted quail with balsamic ($14) was a tasty, perfectly cooked little bird.
Roasted sturgeon wrapped in pancetta ($32), was also perfectly cooked and delicious. A straightforward and well done dish.
A side of Shishito peppers were fresh, had a great kick, and excellent.
A take on smores was a fine ending to a deliciously solid meal.
So for one of NYC's favorite joints, Craft definitely delivers.
