| - It pains me to write this, but Craftsteak was a letdown. Or, rather, the steak was a letdown, and, at that price, a letdown feels pretty devastating.
Everything but the steak, though, was great. The decor was hip and elegant and comfortable. The service was impeccable. The corn was the best we've ever had--it was an actual revelation. Ditto the fruit and monkeybread.
But you don't got to Craftsteak for corn or fruit or monkeybread. You go for steak, and our steaks (domestic Wagyu) were overcooked, and not particularly flavorful. I've had better, several times, and for far less money.
So, if I had to do it again, here's what I would do differently:
No Wagyu.
No tasting menu. Two tasting menus for two people = an obscene amount of food. One appetizer or salad, one or two sides, and two entrees would be a much better proposition.
