The newly expanded 3,300 square-foot space boldly establishes itself on the bustling corner of Kettner Boulevard and Beech Street–visible by the expanded wrap-around patio lined with built-in fire pit tables, ceiling-high bi-fold windows and a convex brick exterior that proudly displays Craft & Commerce's guiding principal, "Demand Less." The interior resembles that of a dimly-lit, industrial literary cabin with hundreds of hardbound classic novels stacked on ceiling-high bookshelves and handwritten passages from David Foster Wallace scrawled on the walls. Executive Chef Ted Smith's new menu, thanks to a revamped kitchen, aims to foster a communal dining experience, offering a diverse selection of veggie-forward shared plates, housemade pastas and larger entrees. Slow-cooked meats are complemented by a variety of wood fired sides such as Fire-Roasted Eggplant Dip, Grilled Oysters, Bone Marrow and Roasted Carrots to name a few. Craft & Commerce's nationally celebrated cocktail menu is printed on real one-dollar bills.
