Our food was fantastic and Craig was really cool to speak with too. Oysters, Ceasers salad and Sausage Pizza great starters! Chicken Parm, Linguini Clams, Pasta special were all amazing dinners ! Bread and Butterscotch Puddings along with ice cream and key lime the best!

In Los Angeles for 20 years and haven’t gone to Craig’s until last night, it’s my new favorite. I would need to come back at least 10 times to order everything I want on the menu.

10/10 Experience! From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. starting with valet and continuing all the way through our meal. Matt, our server, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. We asked for guidance on the caviar since it was our first time trying it, and he made the experience enjoyable. It ended up being very good! We tried several dishes: the tuna was tasty, the branzino was nicely prepared, and the chicken primavera was also enjoyable. The standout, however, was the roasted half chicken—absolutely delicious. Even my son, who has autism and is a very selective eater, loved it! As a sweet touch, complimentary chocolate chip cookies were offered at valet—and they were great! The ambiance and decor throughout the restaurant were lovely, especially in the restroom, which was beautifully designed. Highly recommend giving this place a try for yourself. I was initially hesitant due to mixed reviews, but I’m so glad we decided to go. A truly memorable dining experience!

Hostess was rude, told us we had to leave (we were to long at our table, visiting my best friend since grade 7 who I see once a year)
