    I ate here with 3 other people. They stuck us in this back room outside and basically had no ambience. Food was terrible. I had pasta with clams and it was odd tasting.. My daughter had pasta with lobster and the lobster was so tough. She couldn’t even cut it, very strange. It looked good, but wasn’t. It was expensive overrated and we would not go back. People like to go here because they think they will see famous people. I think about 10 years ago that would be the case, but this place is past due.

    We have to dine at Craig’s every time we are in the LA area. They always deliver a great ambiance, excellent food, and pretty decent pricing for the area. A must visit!

    We spent our anniversary there and had a great time. Service was impeccable and we loved the food. A great overall experience in a fun environment. The owner came by as well and made sure to greet everyone in the restaurant. Definitely on our go-to list in LA.

    Perfect dining experience, still thinking about the rib eye and cocktail I had. Mad at myself for living in LA this long and having never been.
