Crafted is inside the historic Boone Tavern and is absolutely beautiful like the hotel. The dining experience was wonderful, with delicious spoon bread served quickly table side with fresh butter and excellent hospitality. This restaurant is inviting to all, comfortably allowing you to enjoy your meal and maybe even some chance fellowship with passing guests or neighboring patrons. Our Marry-me-chicken (Valentine's Day dinner) was filling and flavorful while being reasonably priced for a couple out to dinner. We will definitely return as this is a great choice in this area for an awesome time. Plus it's a great way to support Berea College students on their future endeavors offering a way for these young adults to graduate debt free!

Good food and service. A bit pricy but still tasty and a nice experience supporting college students

This gem of a local restaurant really needs to be applauded for its seasonal, farm-to-table, scratch cooking and customer service. Our dinner was delicious, the servers attentive, the ambiance was inspiring and the parking was good too. This is a fun place to eat, the hotel is historic and the lobby areas are inviting for small group and gathering with friends.

Enjoyed an excellent dinner here—-everything was perfect. Also had breakfast here twice and it was delicious. Wonderful waitstaff.

We met family for a party of six for dinner. Husband and I arrived early and sat at the bar. Bar tender was top notch. Recommended bourbons for my husband. Our server Madeline was great. We did have to ask for kids menus but overall she was attentive. Spoonbread was piping hot. We ordered deviled eggs and wings for the table. The special was steak with a sweet potato hash. The hash was exceptional. However the steak was not seasoned at all. Disappointing. Salad was good. Hot brown was extremely salty.

Crafted served me and my wife the best dessert I have ever eaten in my 30-odd years of life. The waitress was informed, poised, and extremely professional. 1.) Try the bread pudding with caramel bourbon glaze. 2.) Ask the wait staff for recommendations. They know their stuff.

A very disappointing dining experience. We had New Year's Eve reservations in Boone Tavern's newly renovated dining room "Crafted" which is featured in their pictures and looks spectacular. However, upon our more than timely arrival, we were seated in an adjacent area which was a renovated and very unappealing coffee shop. We requested to be moved to the dining room but were told that due to "wait staff rotation" this was impossible (even if we agreed to wait). No effort was made to accommodate us even though there appeared to be available tables. So BEWARE if you make a reservation you need to add a note that only the main dining room is acceptable. The area we were in had zero appeal.

A bit disappointed with how bland the favors were for my gnocchi. The Hot Brown was very salty and not very palatable. It would be nice to have a more simplified menu without all the fancy names. Adding more chicken menus would be good too.

Food was above average but not fantastic. Best part of the experience was chatting with Kristi at the bar about her knowledge of cocktails.

I was very disappointed that on Thanksgiving day, after having put in our order for turkey, we were then told you were out of turkey.
Our reservation for Thanksgiving dinner was for 2:45. There was a very large crowd, as expected, and we were seated about 30 minutes later, which was no problem for us but could have been for some others. We were seated in an overflow room — a sitting area for the hotel — which again was no problem for us. The room was nicely decorated and several other parties shared the space. The food was worth waiting for. Traditional Thanksgiving menu. Wife and I both had house salad starter — Waldorf salad, our first choice, was sold out — the roasted turkey entree and sweet potato casserole. I had mashed potatoes; wife opted for corn pudding. For dessert, pumpkin pie for me, apple cobbler for her. Our server, Carma, was personable, hard working and attentive to our needs. We greatly enjoyed I our experience.

Probably hard on staff on Thanksgiving. That said service was slow, food was tolerable... sweet potatoe soufflé and corn dish were very good. Turkey dry, tough and gravey thick. Stuffing almost like eating cake ... not good. Love Berea and the hotel but restaurant not too good.

Great atmosphere, service and especially the food is absolutely, hands down the best. From the warm spoon bead, wonderful soup, the evening we went the soup of the day was pumpkin.yum. then we had the beet salad, the fresh ricotta cheese was such a treat. For entree we had the fried chicken and butternut squash gnocchi, both dinners were outstanding, perfectly seasoned and delicious. For dessert we shared the bourbon bead pudding, to die for!! I forgot to mention their cocktail menu. My husband had the whiskey bloom which he totally enjoyed. We are definitely putting this charming little tavern on our once a month visit

My wife and I both got the hot brown probably had four times more salt in it than it needed. One of our guests got the beef stroganoff only ate about a quarter of it My other guest got the shrimp over grits he did eat it all and said it was quite tasty. A crawfish tip was okay but just mediocre The spoonbread was nice moist soft was okay served a little individual dishes The two glasses of wine were good and I did get a bourbon over ice that was nice

As usual, the food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the entire experience was a gastric delight.
