The instructions is that there is a 15 minute grace period. When we arrived we were the only one’s there and we waited because the host was only person up front and was on a order everything from menu phone order. Once we were seated the server seemed only semi interested in our table. A couple with kids came after us and had their food order and food way before us. We ordered two cocktails which took 20 mins to get. I get it if the place was hoping, there were 5-6 tables on our side of restaurant at time. The food was excellent for sure! We asked about rice, our server told us to remind her to get it for us…. so we had rice. Not a major deal breaker except the service in total was meh.

It was wonderful experience. It was easy to make reservation online, and the whole dining in experience was great. We had a big party of 18, but everything went well and the food at Craft by Smoke and Fire was awesome. We will definitely go back again.
