    Haven't been to Craft yet, but can heartily recommend Spago.

      Spago. Been to Craft twice. Meh. Craftsteak, yes, Craft, meh.

        Spago Beverly Hills continues to be one of the best restaurants in America. The other locations - not so much.

            Spago.
            Solid and consistent.

                Been to both and both are good but I would choose Providence (chef's tasting) over both

                  There's a new thread about Craft. Master Chef has left and they're waiting for another....GO TO SPAGO

                    A better tasting menu? I suppose it depends on your wife's taste in food.

                    However, for a usually solid experience, bank on Spago.

                      I've never been to Spago but I've been to Craft. But I think I can recommend Spago based on my less than stellar meal at Craft.

                        Spago. Everyone loves Spago. There are many threads on Chowhound which discuss the Tasting Menu.(s)
