Ken was amazing, food was very mediocre. We had the Nashville, hot chicken, burger, pumpkin, ravioli, and salmon bowl. The best thing was the salmon bowl, I would not order any of the other things again.

The food at Craftsman Monroe was amazing! The ladies and I had such a great time—we got burgers, and everyone absolutely loved the milkshakes. The only downside was that we missed out on trying a couple of the seasonal drinks since they ran out, but everything else was perfect. Such a great spot for photos too!

Always the perfect spot for a reunion with friends! Parc’s food, service and professional staff met all our expectations today: from the seafood appetizers to the the trout amandine, comforting roasted chicken, delicious mussels, and chicken paillard, everyone enjoyed their lunch. Our server, Tiffany, was wonderful.

We had a great dinner with mom at Adelphias! The only drawback was the super loud party in the lounge with horrific singing. The live music actually sounded worse than amateur karaoke.
