The ocean view is outstanding; we were there in time for sunset and it was spectacular. Great service and we enjoyed the delicious tomato crab soup with the seafood flatbread (so good!). Unfortunately the garlic charbroiled oysters were so overdone that they were smaller than a dime each; admittedly the garlic taste was still good but...! The staff took them off our bill (thank you). I'd go back anytime for the view, excellent service and good menu options.

We ate outside, which was probably a mistake since it was a little cool and the food got cold really quickly. If we go back during the cooler weather we will eat inside. Service was great.

Wonderful dinner! We made a reservation very last minute and they were very accommodating! 4 adults and 2 kids and everyone left very happy with their dinner! Adults had the fish&chips, pecan crusted mahi, and daily fish special and everyone loved their meal! Great cocktails and ambience especially the beachside outdoor patio for seating! This will definitely be a dinner staple every time we're back!

Our server was professional and personable! Food was A+. Our party of 6 sat outside with our reservation at 6:00. Perfect time for sunset pics :). Had the Bacon wrapped shrimp jalepeno poppers for app, pecan crusted mahi mahi and the pecan crisp for dessert. Excellent all around. Highly recommend. Oysters on the half shell were fantastic! Thank you for a great evening ❤️

Love the view, good and service at Foodcraft. Sunday brunch with the saxophone/flute player was very nice. Next time I'm going to make sure I try out that tasty looking Bloody Mary bar.

7pm dinner in Sept on the patio overlooking the ocean and by the end of the meal starring up at the stars above us and the lights of the boardwalk in front of us. Fabulous setting, wonderful attentive service, and the food was big on flavor and quality and variety. CONSISTENT! Every single time we have been there from the valet out front to the service and attention inside to the quality of food - it's always GOOD and CONSISTENT! Best meal there hands down is there Thanksgiving buffet!!!! Food is as good as what I make at home, live music - soft guitar, beautiful table setting, cozy, and yet watching the ocean. One of the best Thanksgiving holidays I can remember was at Foodcraft. Will go back. Saved money and time too b/c I didn't have to buy, cook, cleanup or spend a bunch of money for leftovers!

I came here with friends to celebrate my birthday and could not have asked for a better experience. Our server, Tiffany, was so sweet and attentive. Everyone gave great reviews of their cocktails and the food was absolutely delicious. It was also very well priced. We got to sit outside and enjoy the sunset on a perfect evening.

Food, service, and ambience was very good! Quiet inside with live, classical music. Food was delicious and accommodations were unmatched!

This was our first time dining at Foodcraft. We were looking for a place with a gulf view and this spot met that requirement. Reservation was at 6 and we were sat immediately. From there, the experience went down hill. We waited about 10-15 minutes before our server arrived. We placed an order for drinks and oysters. Drinks came out quickly and were fine. The oysters took an unusual amount of time to come out to us, and they were not brought by our server so we could t place entree orders. We finished our oysters and drinks and waited another 10 more so before our server came back. We finally ordered entrees and another round of drinks and she was off. After another 15-20 minutes a different employee arrived with our food. There were 4 of us, but they only brought out 3 dishes. We waited another 15ish minutes before a different server brought out the final entree and we asked for water refills and our drinks that were sitting at the bar. We finished our meals and just wanted to leave, but our server was nowhere to be found. Finally, the manager came to our table to apologize and provide a check. Worst service experience I've ever had at any restaurant. Food was not bad, but the service is what left a lasting impression.
Our first time.... Where do I begin? Let's see, we had 3 servers trying to serve our table. Confusion from the beginning. Next, one of the two drinks from the bar was made incorrectly (wrong liquor) and one non-bar drink was make incorrectly. (Server didn't know the difference between soda water and sprite!). All entrees that had the oven roasted brussel sprouts came out "mushy." (so did the asparagus). The mahi mahi fish was WAY OVER COOKED! (tough to eat). Asked the server to have the skin removed from a piece of fried snapper before it was cooked. She came back and said that the chef "could not" take the skin off. I asked if the chef knew how to use a knife. Drinks never got refilled! We won't be returning....

The avocado toast with perfectly poached eggs was absolute perfection—creamy, fresh, and full of flavor. The crisp radish and juicy tomato salad on the side added the ideal balance of texture and brightness to the plate. The cappuccino was just as perfect—smooth, rich, and the ideal complement to the meal. To top it off, enjoying this breakfast while taking in the breathtaking view of the Gulf made the experience unforgettable. A true gem for both the palate and the soul!

Food was terrible. Had the fish and chips 3 pieces of fish fried together into one mass. No taste, barely warm. Service was unresponsive. Also got the crab topping for the steak. Mostly dark meat, smell was off.
