Went specifically for the “Sippin’ Santa” holiday tiki cocktail popup experience. Unfortunately, the cocktails all seemed off. We ordered the Sugar Plum Mai Tai, the Choquito, we wanted the most important cocktail - the Sippin’ Santa - but they were out of it, so we ordered the Jingle Bird. These cocktails were not great and felt like the ingredients listed in the drinks were missing in several instances. Tiki drinks are usually bold and flavorful, these all felt watered down; missing spices, balance, and freshness. The food saved the evening because it was actually quite good.

This was my first time dining at Craft by Smoke and Fire, and I can honestly say it was the best barbecue I've ever had. The flavors were absolutely amazing, with each dish cooked to perfection. The meats were tender, juicy, and packed with smoky goodness, and the sides were the perfect complement. Every bite was a true delight. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their incredible barbecue!
