    Server was very nice. After reading the reviews we were excited for a nice meal. Unfortunately, most of the components of our meals were way off. The greens that accompanied the crab cakes were crazy salty! I love salt…but even for me I had to spit out. The crab cakes were very thin; without much substance. The tri tip was like a rubber tire! Literally we took turns trying to cut it; and it was nearly impossible! I mentioned to sever; and she said it’s a common complaint…why in the world it’s even on menu is beyond me! I wanted to ask her why she didn’t tell us ahead of time so that we didn’t waste all of that money!!! Nice location, and the server still got a good tip…but super disappointed with experience here.

    Average food, decent service, nothing to write home about. Reminded me of a Disney Resort restaurant.

    We ate at Foodcraft several time during a week-long stay. The food was uniformly excellent. Very tasty, not too salty. Service was very good and the views are amazing! We kept going back because it was so good.
