Craig's West Hollywood Reviews
The worst experience--we had a 7:30 rez with my husband,
The worst experience--we had a 7:30 rez with my husband, myself, and our 2 school-age daughters. We arrived at 7:20 only to find out that our reservation was for 7:45 (which it wasn't) and they proceeded to make us wait for another 45 minutes. All the while they seated a bunch of parties of people who arrived AFTER us and wouldn't make any eye contact AT ALL WITH US! There was a table for 4 available right behind the host stand. It seemed like hostesses were picking and choosing who they would seat and we weren't cool enough or celebrity enough to eat there. NOT how you treat paying customers! Also we finally gave up and left. Never ever going back there--they don't deserve our business!
Amazing experience here yet again! I've been twice and
Amazing experience here yet again! I've been twice and always a hit. The food is great but moreover the service is amazing. It was my bachelorette so we were a large, rowdy crew of 11. Not only did they welcome us with open arms, they made us pink welcome shots and we're just beyond lovely. Over the top hospitality, positive vibes, super happy staff. Amazing place for really any occasion. Highly suggest the Tinx Hot Girl Sundae and dirty martinis!
used to be better.
menu prices are higher than what's listed on yelp website. service is still good (maybe cuz they knew us) but food is hit and miss... some are on point and awesome and some are salty and stomach issues (different party member orders)... celebs/models don't really come anymore... just want-a-be's. just an average place now
Craig's offers a mixed dining experience.
The atmosphere is definitely a highlight, with a chill and cozy ambiance that makes it a pleasant place to unwind. The white pizza stands out as particularly tasty, with a delightful combination of flavors that hits the spot. The meatballs were a pleasant surprise, flavorful and worth a try. However, the overall dining experience was tempered by the service. While the staff were friendly, it was apparent that they were overworked.
From the moment we checked in with the host, everyone was
From the moment we checked in with the host, everyone was friendly that we encountered. Had a great martini while we waited for our table and were sat in the main dining room. Service was attentive. Chicken parm was excellent - still crispy despite being blanketed in yummy sauce and melted cheese. The vodka sauce pasta was one of the best I've had. I wasn't sure what to expect from a place that is known to welcome many celebrities and I was pleasantly surprised. The vibe was cool but not uppity. Folks sitting at the bar looked like they lived down the street just out for a drink after work. I loved this place and can't wait to be back!!!
My husband and I had a wonderful dinner here! Reservations
My husband and I had a wonderful dinner here! Reservations were easy and we were seated timely. Beautiful restaurant, very nice seating and excellent service. The food was fantastic, we enjoyed both the salmon as well as the fried chicken. The desserts are showstoppers, be sure to save room! We enjoy their drinks as well.food was made to order quickly and executed beautifully. Highly recommended for date night or special occasion!

So so so so mf gooooooodd! Everything I ate was sooooooo good. Ate everything on my plate and left no crumbs.
Holiday highlight
Just returned from a great family meal at Craig’s. Despite its reputation as a celebrity hotspot with paparazzi stationed outside, the atmosphere inside was very non-pretentious, and the place had a really good vibe. The food was incredible! My wife had the Cioppino, which was full of flavour and generously loaded with seafood—the best part, of course. The hype is real. This place is well worth visiting.
We are locals who live close to Craig's and we can walk to
We are locals who live close to Craig's and we can walk to the restaurant. After going there last week I now realize why we have not been back since soon after they opened. The food was below mediocre and the cost is ridiculous for what you get. we had a chicken payard which was just a medium sized piece of dry chicken and it has a small salad on the side. There were four of us eating that night and none of us thought the food was acceptable and the prices are just outrageous. If you want to go there to possibly see some celebrities then go ahead and pay for that privilege but we will never go back after this last experience.
Food is pricey, bus boys are clearly your plate before you
Food is pricey, bus boys are clearly your plate before you are finished eating. Saw a friend and wanted to our picture and the hostess was so mad and Craig would be upset at photos being taken. It was my 68th birthday wanted a special night. Yeah not so special.
Perfection from start to finish! We were celebrating an
Perfection from start to finish! We were celebrating an anniversary and the staff made our dinner so memorable! The food was amazing and the service relaxed, yet attentive. I can't wait to go back! Thank you!
Best meal I’ve had in LA
Outstanding food, every course was better than the previous. I could have kept eating all night. Real, authentic flavors with fresh ingredients and a lightness that makes you want to keep coming back for more. Great service and very efficient as well!
Incredible restaurant!
Perhaps one of the best stakes I’ve ever eaten. Great ambience and top notch staff. Everything from the appetizers to the dessert was incredible. I highly recommend this restaurant!
Excellent Service and Good Food
Had a wonderful anniversary dinner! Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was excellent! Quite noisy which is wonderful to see in any restaurant. Well worth a visit.
Rip off
The website states 50.00 corkage maximum 2 bottles. We brought 2 for 6 of us (we also ordered additional drinks) The server told us it was actually 120.00 per bottle!!! When we showed her the website she said, sorry, nothing she could do about it. We asked to see Manager who did agree to the 50.00 even though she said a different website showed 120.00. Why do they not just say corkage not allowed? Seems maybe they are trying to attract the kind of clientele that has their own expansive and pricey wine cellar and for whom 120.00 is nothing if their bottle of wine is worth 1000's. If that is the case they need to upgrade the quality of their food which was mediocre at best. We won't be going back.
Quite an incredible experience dining here for my mother in
Quite an incredible experience dining here for my mother in law's birthday in late February. We were seated outside and spotted other kids and breathed sighs of relief! The food was so savory - spaghetti squash for me and a burger for my man. Other guests ordered various pastas and salmon. Ample portions and cooked to perfection! Dessert was plentiful and delicious! We spotted Jeff Goldblum one table over and he was low key cool!
A popular spot in Bev Hills! Came here for some cocktails
A popular spot in Bev Hills! Came here for some cocktails and appetizers. Sat at the bar and ordered a basic old fashioned and a Manhattan. Both drinks were straightforward and straight to the point. The bartenders took their time perfecting each cocktail which one can appreciate. This place can get pretty busy on the weekends. The waitlist can get pretty long just to grab a seat at the bar. Also, the crowd is definitely older 30+. Definitely a place for after-work cocktails with colleagues or to grab some amazing food complimented by a well-made cocktail.
Not sure if Craig's needs reviews but here goes.
It was our first time and we had a terrific experience. I want to jump to the chase. The food is outstanding. We had a green goddess salad and the dressing was lovely and the other ingredients were so fresh. Then we split a rib eye steak and a loaded baked potato The steak was just incredible. I'd say better than any steakhouse here, NYC or even Argentina. The seasoning was just right and there was a bit of fat that actually enhanced it. And yes the loaded baked potato was also terrific. I'm just sorry that we didn't have room for dessert
A must try! Best in country
The best restaurant in the country ! Delicious chicken parm with blush sauce and chocolate pizza for dessert ! We always go whenever we are in town.
I celebrated my birthday here on Saturday and it was
I celebrated my birthday here on Saturday and it was AWESOME!! The place was packed but the service was still on point. The food was AMAZING as always. One of my favorite places to dine. I definitely will be back.
A solid '4' rating for food, ambiance and service.
Valet was $20, but that's West Hollywood. It's very Hollywood-y in here. Beautiful rich-looking people, everyone looks famous or is with someone famous. I'm very oblivious to my surroundings and celebrity sightings, so I just came here to eat lol! The experience started on a negative note unfortunately. I had noted in my reservation that we were celebrating a special occasion, and oddly the hostess led us to probably their worse table. They seated us right by the walkway, in very tight proximity to the guests seated next to us, and they had to LIFT the table to squeeze us in to our seats. I was not having it, and immediately asked for another table. They didn't hesitate and sat us to a much more spacious space. I kept an eye on that table all night and no other party was seated there. I did not like how they put us there first. Putting negativity aside, the rest of the evening was pleasant. Our server was very friendly and was attentive when we needed her. The food came out at a reasonable time despite the restaurant being packed on a weekend. Here's what we ordered: Shrimp cocktail ($28) - big and juicy, a very delicious treat to kickstart our palette. It tasted very fresh and satisfying Pepperoni pizza ($26) - I loved that it was hot when it came out, and the dough was thin enough to call it another appetizer. If you're craving pizza, this is a must-get! Chicken parmigiana ($42) - a hit or miss, depending on the size of your piece. Guests next to us received much larger pieces, so it's a bit of a gamble. I got mine with the side of tomato pasta, which paired really nicely with the chicken. Would recommend! Scallops ($52) - once again, a very special treat! A bit pricey for 3 scallops but I guess that's West Hollywood? The sauce and the gnocchi went really nicely with the dish Oreo cheesecake ($15) - my least favorite dish, regretted that I got it. It tasted like store-bought cheesecake and didn't have any hint of Oreo. Will not recommend. Butterscotch pudding ($14) - YES YES YES! This went so nicely with my single shot of espresso. It was a bit on the sweeter side, but I really enjoyed this dessert. Overall it was a pleasant experience and it was worth the drive from Pasadena, but honestly I wouldn't come out of my way for it again. But if you're craving chicken parm or are in the vicinity of this restaurant, check it out!
Always a great meal.
Service was great! The bread was amazing. We had the mushroom pizza, rigatoni vodka and the chicken with honey truffle. Very good
Outstanding service and food.
The staff was attentive without being overbearing. My partner kept laughing at the constant refill of water. You will never be thirsty at Craig's. I got the salmon he got the short ribs both were delicious. We were so full we had no room for desert. My only "complaint" is that it is so dark in there and at one point bc we had an earlier reservation, they. made the lights even more dim. I also couldn't tell what the ambiance was suppose to be. There were neon lights, warholish art, super dark seating. Overall great experience.
This was one of the most fun nights out we've had in a long
This was one of the most fun nights out we've had in a long time. First, we had zero expectations and went early at 5:30. We got a great seat in the bar area and had the loveliest server helping us with our meal. We ordered the caviar special, the chopped salad and the green goddess salad, two clam pastas, the rigatoni and their chicken parm. From the bread, to the food, to the drinks and desserts, the food was undeniably great. I'd park at the hotel across the way to avoid the valet clog but otherwise this was an amazing night.
It was my husband's birthday so I treated him to a fancy
It was my husband's birthday so I treated him to a fancy meal at Craig's! Paparazzi outside, we put our purses over our faces and dashed inside! The place was packed! Saw a "real housewife " husband and daughter as well as agents, tv producers and lots of wannabes. Has the look and feel of a steak house. The music was cool old school rock. Loved it! But the food was the main attraction! We started with calamari appetizer which was very good. Sliced banana peppers garnished and really made the dish tasty. For the mains, I had spaghetti with clams and my husband had the filet mignon. Oh boy, both were just spectacular! I highly recommend both! Every member of their enormous wait staff and host were all so friendly and welcoming. For dessert we had the chocolate bread pudding. Mmmmmmm. That was amazing! Looking around at other plates, everything looked really delicious. We will be back!
Craig's is a VIBE.
Everyone here looked like a fabulous celebrity and was dressed to the nines. On a Friday night at 8 it was absolutely buzzing and every table and seat at the bar was filled. An advanced reservation is definitely a must, especially on a weekend. Service is top notch. They go above and beyond to make this feel like a classy dinner experience. Pushing in your chair, taking your coat, etc. Prices are high, so this type of service was certainly appreciated! The eats were just okay, and although this is a five star restaurant for the scene I'd say the eats are more like 3 stars. Isn't that always the case though? The cesar salad was very lemony. It almost tasted too healthy. The chicken parm was delicious and crispy, but the piece is fairly small considering the high price tag. At a red sauce joint in NJ or NY the parm would be twice the size. We upgraded the side of spaghetti to a side of rigatoni vodka. The sauce was wonderful, but the noodles were super hard and undercooked. Don't get me wrong, the food was definitely good. It just didn't knock my socks off. Absolutely worth a visit nonetheless, for the people watching alone. I was in town visiting my sister and this felt like a very LA thing to do. We enjoyed it!
Overall a good experience!
We came to Craig’s visiting from Michigan after seeing all the TikTok’s about it. The server was friendly. the ambience was lovely. The food was solid, but the service overall was quite slow. We were a family of 8 and the dinner took over an hour to come out. About an hour and 15 minutes in fact. With a 2 year old, waiting that long was not easy. The wine pours are on the smaller side, especially if you’re from the Midwest. Craig, the owner was fabulous and came around to each table. Very friendly. The total bill ended up being around $850 for the 8 of us, not bad over the holidays. We would recommend, yes, but be patient and don’t come super hungry.
The place to go if you want to come out relaxed having had an enjoyable evening
They are friendly and welcoming and go the extra mile to help. Food is excellent and ambience good. Craig and Patricia were particularly nice
Loving Craig’s
The honey truffle chicken was wonderful (and we live in Georgia), and so was the Tagliatelle Truffle Bolognese. Our waiter was amazing. I’m so bad at remembering people’s names but he’s a very funny guy, born in Georgia, lived in New York, with thick beautiful dark hair. He did all the accents for us in one conversation for us. He’s a rockstar. He made my son and my first time at Craig’s so much fun and we will be back this weekend on our next visit to LA, bringing more people with us!
Amazing food, even better service!
If I could give it six stars I would! Firstly I’d like to mention our server Kelby who was keen, friendly, attentive and couldn’t have done more to make our experience so enjoyable. We have visited Craig’s several times now but this time I just had to make sure that I left a review! As always, complements to the chef for making amazing gluten-free options which taste just like the real thing! All staff are so friendly and accommodating here and the atmosphere outside is beautiful. Would highly recommend the key lime martini cocktail for dessert!
Avoid at all costs
Happened to be in LA and decided to visit this place. Boy was is disappointed. Made a reservation for 8pm walked i with my 22 year old son who also sort of forced me to go to this hyped up place. All went well sat at our table. The waiter asked us for our drink oder etc. All went well. While we were were waiting a gentleman by the nameZack came to our table started to talk to us, he was extremely intoxicated. He just talked and talked about nothing. Apparently Zack is a regular. The appetizer calamari arrived within 5 mins it was nothing special, just average or even below average. I ordered the filet. I have eaten steak all over the planet and this was sub par. Nothing special, sort of like an Outback steak. My son had Chicken Parm it was average as well not worth the hype. Dessert was also sub par. I guess people come here to make themselves feel good and act like they are celebs. There was no Celebs present as there were not paparazzi present outside. Again if you like fake and smoke and mirrors this place is for you. As for me I will never return as i can can get a better meal some place else in LA. I really dont understand why people come to this place.
Best place in LA
This place is a throwback to when service meant something and customers were treated with respect. Outstanding and fantastic all around. We were treated with priority and given our table not too long after we arrived, even though it was very very busy. The outdoors patio is a great atmosphere and our server was very very attentive and on top of things. The food was excellent. We were not forced to buy drinks we didn’t want. We were not forced to order more food than we wanted. We were made to feel comfortable and everything was impeccable. The valet SPRINTED to go get our car. This was the best service and meal I’ve had in LA, by far
Good Italian
Great romantic Italian restaurant. Not super high end food but all good and tasty. Interesting wine list, great service.
Can’t fault anything
just an amazing experience from start to finish. I was visiting here from London with my friend after hearing the hype about the place and it exceeded all expectations. Frank the manager was so friendly and checked on us throughout the night, we met Craig who was walking around meeting everyone and our waitress Kelby (not sure of spelling :) ) was just incredible. food was amazing and so were drinks, music and atmosphere. We will be back!!
Great Dinner
We had an amazing time dining here at Craig's. Our server Alex was so friendly and helpful. The food here was so delicious, and so filling. We were very happy with our meal and definitely recommend checking it out!
We had a 7:15 dinner Reservation.
We were trying to get a drink at the bar before we sat, but it was crowded. The hostess came and said our table was ready. We were immediately given some delicious bread! We ordered drinks. They were delicious. We had the Tuna tartare, the branzino and the rigatoni vodka! Everything was delicious!! Service was great. Place was busy. They had the back area closed off because there were a lot of notables back there. Paparazzi was out side.
Excellent food, atmosphere, service!
We sat on the patio for dinner at 7:30 on a Saturday night. Be sure to book your reservation as soon as it becomes available. Two weeks in advance. There is valet parking or parking on the street. It is a very busy part of Los Angeles. There is lots of activity. Our food was excellent, although pricey. Several birthdays were being celebrated. A very nice place to celebrate a special occasion. You may even see a celebrity or two. Craig, the owner, came up to our table to visit with us, which was quite special! I had the honey truffle chicken, others had filet mignon, margherita pizza, chicken parmigiana, shared truffle fries, twice baked potato. Drink menu is extensive. Desserts looked very good. Next time.
Classy place
Went for my fathers birthday party. Servers were excellent and polite. Starters were excellent. I ordered the New York steak which was cooked well but did need more sauce
Our meals had excellent flavor and the service was on point
Our meals had excellent flavor and the service was on point exactly what you would expect when dining out. Say on patio for dinner and it was cozy.
Okay pizza but great service and drinks.
Got seated quickly and east parking.........................
Flowers
The floral decor is absolutely stunning and you can't leave without getting the hit me cake.
It's an LA staple.
Food is solid, drinks are solid, lots of characters. The bread and the vodka pasta are the highlights. Overpriced and service sucks, but worth checking out once.
Definitely a see and be seen kind of place.
I really liked the cozy, clubby atmosphere, and the service was excellent. What I didn't like was the food. My chicken paillard ($38) was highly disppointing. Simply not much to it and was flavorless. My $24 martini was good but not $24 good. Just not sure the atmosphere is enough to warrant a return.
Wasn't a fan of the spaghetti squash dish, but the food,
Wasn't a fan of the spaghetti squash dish, but the food, ambiance, service, and overall vibe is great. I can understand why it's so popular. Expensive but worth it if you get a dish you enjoy (I would think).
First time at Craig's was as expected.
This place had sleepy lighting and I felt like everyone could have been a celebrity. Menu was straightforward and everything we got was great. Cocktail were my fav although I hated that they were $20 but yolo it's LA. Tinx sundae was prettier than it tasted. It was still great but the presentation took the show. Perfect spot for a girls dinner before a night out in WeHo
Favorite spot in LA! The Chicken Parmesan and atmosphere is
Favorite spot in LA! The Chicken Parmesan and atmosphere is amazing! I love that they expanded their space too :)
We came to Craig's for the hype and the vegan options.
And we left hyped and satisfied. I scored us a last minute reservation for 9:30pm on a Friday night. The only area available was on their patio... why would anyone avoid their patio?! It was amazing. It felt like we were indoors. It was warm, lovely, and very lively. I got the Vegan Chik'n Parm and it was absolutely divine. The pasta noodles and sauce were perfection, and the entree was crispy, cheezy, and so delightful. The entire experience was really fabulous. Our server was attentive even while extremely busy, and serving much needier tables than our own. Craig's is the kind of place where people CELEBRATE! You'll notice larger groups and sparklers in the desserts. We had fun trying to guess who was the celebrity at each table. I don't think we were ever successful, but there were definitely "vibes". I absolutely love it here. Can you bring a Craig's to Tahoe so I can enjoy it all the time?
Amazing
Such an amazing dining experience. The owner, Craig, came by each table to chat with clients. The food was superb…. Particularly the Cioppino was to die for. There was a spicy shrimp pasta as well, that was amazing. All the appetizers were great. Amazing service and definitely a place I’d return to in a heartbeat.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Craig's West Hollywood at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Craig's West Hollywood page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.

Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process

3.) Finding the Reservation
* FulfilledThread16 now uses their connections at Craig's West Hollywood to secure the table.

* If FulfilledThread16 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FulfilledThread16 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FulfilledThread16's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
