About Us

Founded by Hans & April Hess, SteakCraft represents a 20 year vision on Hans’ part to make the best steak possible. In Carmel, at the Crossroads, the gateway to Big Sur, SteakCraft is the premiere steakhouse in Carmel.

Our evenings begin where BreadSong's unforgettable deli offerings end (www.thebreadsong.com), transitioning from artisan sandwiches to the best steak in Carmel that guests say compete with the best steaks they’ve eaten. Our domestic Wagyu is prepared with a unique confit/reverse sear process pioneered by our founder that capitalizes on the superior flavor profile of Wagyu by locking in moisture and creating the perfect balance of char, internal temperature and flavor.

The quality and preparation of the beef is only matched by April’s curation of our craft cocktail offerings and our glass and bottle wine list. Guests have called our food "insanely good", which we gratefully receive as a testament to our unwavering commitment to sourcing locally whenever possible and ensuring impeccable quality in every dish. Dine with us to discover why SteakCraft has become the most coveted steakhouse experience in Carmel.
