What a brilliant restaurant! It offers great views of the wharf and navy ships. The service is warm and welcoming, and the menu has a variety of options to suit every taste, whether you're after a light lunch or something heartier . The Irish manager does excellent an excellent job—very friendly and leads a highly professional team.

It was an extremely busy night at the NSWAG. Only busier with some blockbuster exhibitions.
It was very easy to make a booking at Crafted by online at the last minute and so convenient.
The waitstaff were friendly and welcoming and the joint was jumping which gave a nice vibe.
Our person was efficient and attentive and extremely patient when we were bumbling about with our cards at payment.
The food was well presented and generously served. We ordered way too much. we each enjoyed our meals and dessert - delicious.
The wine was also very pleasant.
We do not dine out often so this was a very enjoyable experience which I am sure we will repeat.
Thank you!

Panoramic view and clean lines was a good first impression.Service was prompt and continued in a friendly but non-intrusive manner. We had a set menu but had plenty of variety and servings were generous. We were not rushed and enjoyed an excellent, relaxed lunch after visiting the Magritte exhibition. Can thoroughly recommend Crafted.

The food was JUST OKAY 3/5 and we were so disappointed because that’s the reason we went. We had the shared menu and the apps were great but the all of the main course was bland and didn’t live up to the hype.
The service was amazing as were the drinks. They even accommodated for allergies and we were running late and they accommodated that too. I would go back again but just not for the shared menu as a group.

Henry was a great waiter and looked after us. The food was fabulous and the view from the restaurant was terrific. It was very crowded on the day and the noise level so so loud it made it difficult to communicate.
