food was fantastic and service was wonderful. Only changes I would’ve made was to turn up the music a little bit to create more atmosphere and increase the size of the steak frites, even if you have to raise the price a bit.

Love the enclosed patio, service was excellent. Craig’s knows how to combine fine dining with a twist of comfort food with their classic Italian options, but they have options for all occasions, vegetarian, seafood, steaks, you name it. Always a pleasure.

My experience at the Golden Hour was so beautiful. It had great city views, good music, and good food. I felt like I was in a movie. I would definitely recommend to family, and friends. Great for date night, or just a good night out with friends.
