Incredible American food is served at the Craft Restaurant in New York, and the famous Tom Colicchio is the chef along with Damon Wise.  The food gets top reviews and the most famous food they serve is the braised bone-in lamb shanks.  Everything is a la carte, the wine is served by the glass, and everything is delicious.  You choose the cooking method, and each dish is meant to be shared.  It comes in separate plates and placed in the middle of the table for everyone to share.

The name of the Craft Restaurant in New York comes from the idea that we should get back to the basic ingredients, and then cook them very well.  Great meat, fish, vegetables, and the decor is leather (walls), wood (trim) and some steel.  The blond wood tables are gorgeous and there's a special panel that the waiter pulls out for wine service.
