This place is really a trip. You have to run a gauntlet of paparazzi to get in, since it’s packed with rich and famous people. I met some guy at the bar who just goes there to network. When I went to the bathroom, he swooped in to hit on my girlfriend. The food is quite good, with many vegan options. The plant based crab cakes, for example, are a perfect simulation of real shellfish. Our waiter wore a Michael Kors mask, and was truly a master of subtle persuasion. His talents are almost wasted on a restaurant, when he could be an effective used car salesman or diplomat for the state department. For example, he asked if we preferred “sparking bottled water, still bottled water, or municipal water.” Since the free option makes one think of the city sewer system, it nudges you to pay $10 for a bottle of Evian. At the end of the meal, he mentioned how “intelligent” we were to save room for dessert, praising us for a decision we hadn’t actually made. A true marketing ninja!

Had a reservation and dressed for the occasion. Some people came in YOGA SHORTS! So don't bother dressing. Seated outside in the front with withering heat and car exhaust. Ordered bottle of Veuve Clicquot. THEY WERE OUT OF IT! Settled on Tattinger. Restaurant policy that you must place your entire order in the beginning. (We personally hate this bc we prefer to have our cocktails b4 the food). Apps: meatballs (came cold on the inside) calamari: small, over breaded and over cooked (Applebees might have been better). Oysters were very good and tender. Entrees were good but not exceptional! Barramundi piccata was good and moist. Chicken parm was good. Jerry Weintraubs spaghetti clam show entee was good...but not any more special than at any other Italian restaurant. Scallops were good. Creamed corn was only Ok. Nothing special about the Brussel sprouts either. Lemon tart and chocolate chips cookies were good. A famous New Yorker recommended Craig's to us. Craig's must exist off the "celebrity buzz" bc the food wasn't very special.

Such a chic place in West Hollywood!
They take reservations and it’s hard to get a walk in, so it would be smart if you reset before you go.
We went for brunch and got generous portions Avocados toast and quesadillas.
Ambience is lovely, the staff is great and the food is good.

Craig's became one of my go-to spots for takeout during the pandemic. The menu has a lot of options with something for everyone- pizza, pasta, seafood, meat, chicken, vegan. Treat yourself to the parmesan truffle fries! The prices are expensive but the quality always excellent. Kudos to the service- the staff is always helpful on the phone and picking up food at the valet station is a breeze. Restaurant work is tough and the staff deserves credit for making the Craig's experience a good one, every time.

This review is only for the Fresh Baked Chocolate Chip cookies as I’ve never had any other dishes from this restaurant. But seriously, what are they putting in these cookies!? They are the BEST cookies I have ever had in my life. It’s been a week since I’ve had them and still can’t believe how unbelievably delicious they are. Now I just need to figure out how I can get these in Vancouver!!

My hubby and I went to Craig’s for our anniversary and it was phenomenal! We were a little late and called to inform them we were running late, once arrived our hostess (sorry didn’t get her name) was so sweet and she informed us how she appreciated that we called ahead to let them know we were behind! We never had a hostess show appreciation for something so simple such as calling ahead and she was super kind and understanding. When you come in there is paparazzi but they are super kind, even the security is super kind! The atmosphere, the restaurant is dark, and super busy but not over crowded and uncomfortable. The music was lit ???? not boring, and it’s music everything can enjoy. Our table was great, and our server Louie (or Louis, short dark hair cut with glasses) was the sweetest guy ever. He helped us pick out a bottle of rosè, he s a great conversationalist , and when we go mf our food, i and hubby pray before s meal, our server noticed and prayed with us! Did not interrupt he prayed with us, went to his other tables then checked in with us . The scallops, salmon Mac and cheeses and mumms rosè was delicious. To top it off as we were paying our server gave a free dessert, a delicious chocolate cookie with melted vanilla ice cream! Go to Craig’s! You will leave full and wanting more! Thank you to Craig’s and there staff for giving us a great anniversary!

Came in for drinks after our dinner. This is a low key place for celebrities. Paparazzi were outside almost the whole time. A friend who ordered food was a customer often and highly recommended this place. I can see why, as the drinks and service was perfect. The food looked great. I'll be returning.

We love Craigs! Either dine in or delivery, it’s satisfaction guaranteed! One of my favorites is the Vegan Wise Guy pizza, it’s fully loaded and great for sharing! I also personally love the Vegan Chicken Parmigiana. But our all time favorite is the Vegan Spaghetti Bolognese. It’s a MUST HAVE!!

Service is great! When we dine in, the servers are always on point, knowledgeable and accommodating. The ambiance reminds you of a classic Italian with modern artwork on the walls. It’s trendy and celebs frequent the spot.

And of course, i have to mention the Fresh Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies, it comes warm and the chocolate chips are perfectly melted. And I can’t forget their vegan ice cream, it’s a sure treat!

My best friend and I wanted to have dinner at Craigs for a while and it finally happened.
Really amazing service, ambiance and the food was DEER LICIOUS!!
We had the Tuna Tartar, Chicken Parm and Bolognese. If I wasn’t so full I would have ordered a second round.

I absolutely love Craig’s. Every time I’ve gone you leave full and have an amazing time. Service is very good and they are very knowledgeable about the menu. I took my brother who was visiting from out of town he loved it. The steak was cooked perfectly. We shared the scallops too and it was the perfect combo. Lots of flavor. Craig’s is in a lot of people’s restaurant top picks in West Hollywood.
