Description:
Tom Colicchio´s Craft in New York City received the James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant nationwide in 2002, and five years later brought Craft across the country to join the other "top chefs" in Los Angeles. His new American dishes marry the finest ingredients, haute cuisine and family-style service. Under the execution of Chef de Cuisine John Keenan, Craft features produce from local organic farms, all-natural meats and amazingly fresh seafood. With the award-winning architectural design of Bentel and Bentel, and under the glow of filament bulbs, diners share from dishes that celebrate ´single´ ingredients, expertly and simply prepared.
Awarded Three and a Half Stars by S. Irene Virbila of the Los Angeles Times, she states:
“The menu offers a master class in contemporary American cuisine. You won´t find recipes with 17 ingredients or unnecessary frills. Each dish relies on simplicity and elegance, superb ingredients and expert execution to make its point."

| This is the restaurant that inspired me to rethink my position on American cuisine. From the moment I tasted his braised brussel sprouts and slow-cooked beef short ribs, Tom Colicchio had me convinced that so much had been overlooked in this category. The restaurant has a casual, yet elegant feel, and the service is top notch, but the food will transport you to a time when families used to sit around the table on Sunday afternoon and share the stories of their day. Another reason why I am such a big fan of Tom is that he creates sustainable restaurant concepts that deliver his vision whether he is there or not. As I have said before, great chefs know how to develop great sous chefs, and Tom is obviously both a great chef and a great teacher. I highly recommend this restaurant to my foodie friends.
