| | | | | | Craftsteak had a tough start, with most of the reviews citing the same peculiar flaw: the kitchen didn’t know how to cook a steak. With prices running about $10–20 per steak higher than the going rate in Manhattan, that wasn’t going to fly.I visited Craftsteak 1.0 twice (here, here). Frankly, I mig...

Time to get ready. Firstly, a report from a tipster who was at the employee opening party:The bar and cocktail lounge have floor to c... Read More | | | | | | [Kalina, 5/17/06.] Yes, indeed, this is Craftsteak, Tom Colicchio's NoMeat steak stake. One highly credible initial report was "the "Hawaiian beef" was very chewy but well flavored and the "Hereford" beef, virtually tasteless but very tender," but there is little qu...

That's right, ladies and gentlemen. Chef de cuisine Chris Albrecht has left the building (a month ago). After opening th...
