About

Chef Tom Colicchio offers pristine seasonal ingredients, simply prepared and served family-style, allowing guests to build their own plates.

Story

After six successful years in New York, chef Tom Colicchio brought Craft’s pioneering approach to dining to Los Angeles in 2007. Meant to mimic the experience of dining in someone’s home, pristine seasonal ingredients are simply prepared and served family-style to the center of the table, allowing guests to build their own plates.

“Simple doesn’t mean simplistic,” Tom says in his book, Think Like a Chef. Sourcing the finest product from small farms and artisan producers, the food at Craft serves as proof. Perennial favorites include roasted quail, braised beef short ribs, and the bounty of farmer’s market sides in every season.

Craft’s emphasis on seasonal and local is a natural West Coast fit. The restaurant earned a three-star review from The Los Angeles Times in 2007 and improved to three and a half stars in 2010. Designed by award-winning architecture firm, Bentel & Bentel, Craft Los Angeles seats 300 in a 10,000 square-foot space that includes a dining veranda overlooking a four-acre park.

In 2009, Chef Tom Colicchio turned Craft Los Angeles’ front lounge and terrace into Craftbar. Shortly after opening, Craftbar earned a three-star review from Los Angeles Magazine and has been called “a destination in its own right,” by Angeleno magazine. The menu features an array of small dishes all priced $20 or under, divided into categories including oysters, snacks, flatbreads, salads, share plates and cheese. Menu items range from light fare such as wild arugula with pine nuts and parmesan or calamari with spinach, chorizo and golden raisins, to a hearty plate of veal meatballs or flatbread with provolone, Italian sausage and pea tendrils.

Reviews
This New American restaurant offers exceptional food, soothing atmosphere and great staff. It is located on one of the most beautiful streets, in my opinion, in Century City, Avenue of the Stars. There is a large glass panel window, giving a fantastic view of the urban night lights. One of the restaurant's distinguishing features is that it offers to put a message or a name on the menu. You will need to call ahead of time to let them know.

Always an amazing experience. Craft LA is located on the South side Constellation Blvd in between Avenue of the Stars and Century Park. There's valet parking out front, or you can park underneath the compex with complementary validation (be prepared to stop and pop your trunk so the gate attendant can look inside before they let you into the garage). There are multiple levels and plenty of available parking during normal dinner hours. The host station is located immediately inside the door to Craft, with the bar off to the side. There are a small number of stools at the bar and some informal tables and seating guests can use while waiting if arriving early or the full party isn't available and you don't want to sit alone. The bartenders are excellent. (Restrooms are located around behind the bar.) Seating is further in past the bar area. There are a number of larger booths that run down one side of the restaurant, with smaller tables in the center and larger round tables along the other side of the restaurant. There is some outdoor seating. Menus are printed daily. Some standouts are the 36-hour braised short rib, the brussel sprouts, any of the mushrooms, and the scallops. Bread and butter is served with every meal, along with an amuse to start and a take-home at the end (currently a really good granola). A full meal at Craft can be pricey, especially if you're looking to try a large variety of dishes. Nearly all of the food is served in a way that is comfortable family style, so if you can put together a good size party it makes it very easy to share and have a bit of everything. Wait-staff has always come through for me with recommendations if I needed advice pairing dishes or coming up with a count for how many starters and sides to share with the table. Wine list is excellent.

Great service and the food are good. All portions meant for sharing and good for a company of 4. The beef and duck was tender, mash was exceptional. Roasted vegetable was a bit expensive. The grilled octopus a must have.

Great service. Solid food but prices were a bit out of line with what you get - especially on drinks.

Went during dine LA, great service/atmosphere. It is high end dining but with a more relaxed atmosphere. The food is delicious but be aware the entre portion sizes are pretty small.
