Craft House Fashion Valley

Wonderful restaurant and bar! I came to San Diego for work and saw the menu online for Craft House and it looked wonderful. I received excellent service by Derek who recommended happy hour drinks. Their Happy Hour margarita was amazing! I had the Baja Burger and it was delicious! I substituted the side salad for French fries with ranch and both were delicious! Definitely recommend this restaurant and i'll be back the next time i'm in town.

Went with my friend for happy hour the house margaritas are really good! It's 25% off appetizers which I think is a good deal as well. The ahi tuna tostadas were delicious , liked that the sauce is on the side so you can add as much as you want. We just wish the fish was a bit colder and not room temperature. The seating outside is great , the inside is nice too a darker ambiance.Service was impecable. Felt that everyone who worked there checked up on us at least once which was really nice.I will say though, opt for the digital menu. The menus were dirty and sticky to the touch.

Been here a few times- Service, food, and drinks have always been good.Nice atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff.Drinks are always fresh and enjoyable. This past time we came for dinner and drinks.Starter- Achiote Chipotle Glazed Wings. 3 stars. Way too saucy, cooked well.Monster Salad- 5 stars. Delicious salad with fresh ingredients. The corn, queso, and vinagrette were amazing.Pork Belly Bahn Mi- 3 stars. The bread was too hard. The pork was delicious though. This is one of the best restaurants in the mall so we will definitely be back when we visit.

I was really excited to try this place out. The cocktails seemed interesting and unique and there were interesting food options. The reason for my 2 star review in the terrible service we received on a Saturday evening at 6pm. Our food (the poutine, which was just okay) took more than 30 minutes. That was disappointing in and of itself. But then when we were paying the bill ($90 for 4 drinks and one entree), the server tried to double down on how it was a small space and the food has to be expertly crafted so it takes longer. How much craft goes into putting a plate of fries together with sauce on top and some meat in the middle?

Craft House is a nice little restaurant tucked into a part of the Fashion Valley Mall; its interior seating has a sports bar-taqueria vibe, and there's patio seating as well.The service was great and prompt.The food, on the other hand, was disappointing. Between the two of us we had a beet & goat cheese salad and their signature lobster roll. The salad: the beets were tasteless/bland, and most of the greens were swimming in dressing. The lobster roll, which clocks in at almost $30, looked very interesting/tasty when it came to the table (a thick piece of bread -- brioche, I believe -- that appeared grilled in butter. Stuck in the top were several pieces of bland Canadian lobster. The lobster roll, while visually interesting, seemed to be all air (or bread dough) inside. I eventually gave up after eating about half of the mostly-bread sandwich (it felt like I had eaten about six months'-worth of carbohydrates in one sitting.For a lunch that was north of $50 for two, you'd expect more/better.

Summary: Located inside Fashion Valley shopping center, Craft House is equipped with a great menu selection of elevated bar food and Happy Hour deals perfect for social gatherings.I had the Wakin' Bacon burger and it was stellar. Awesome combination of flavors and everything cooked incredibly well. Drink menu also had a great selection to choose from (context: I mainly chose from the beer menu).Service staff was very nice and accommodating. We even asked for a random slice of cheese for our little one and they were more than happy to provide.Had a great time and would recommend to anyone looking for a great meal.

Overall: tasty and balanced food, fun menu, cute indoor/outdoor ambiance, and good service with single stall gendered restrooms It's a pretty small place but has high chairs and both indoor and outdoor seating. There was a solid beer list. The wake'n bac'n burger and chimichurri steak sandwich were both incredible. Both had so many flavors that balanced out well and the ingredients were fresh.

So good! Can't believe we haven't tried this spot until now. Perhaps the lowkey vibes of being in a shopping center threw us off? The food was excellent and the service was decent. We were surprised there weren't more people inside for a Friday night. We'll definitely be back as parking was easy, food was delicious, prices were reasonable. Easy to eat here if you're keto or pescatarian.

I'm already a super huge fan of their burgers and pork belly tacos but I also recently tried out their new brunch menu and it was delicious!

We had a delightful lunch at the restaurant! I opted for the Baja burger with a black bean patty substitute, paired with a craft house margarita. At $8 for happy hour, the margarita was one of the best I've had--perfectly balanced and not too sweet. The Baja burger was hearty and delicious, with the tortilla crisps adding a fantastic crunch. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere had a trendy vibe. I highly recommend this spot for a nice lunch, especially if you're shopping around Fashion Valley mall.
