Absolutely loved Craigs. Food was as good as everyone said it would be. The service was beyond spectacular. Everyone was friendly and personable. Dined in for my partner and I anniversary. They gave us a cute complimentary dessert. The chicken parm lived up to the hype. Well be back read more

We have been dining at Craig's for over a decade every time we are in the Los Angeles area. Every single visit greets us with excellent food, great service and that amazing West Hollywood energy that makes this a mandatory reservation on every trip to LA. Our visit last night was no exception with a lively, but dimly lit dining room and truly excellent service. As always, the food didn't disappoint. Some of our dishes included our favorites such as the chopped salad, shrimp cocktail and caviar tacos. Last night, I was delighted to see they brought back the shrimp diavolo (which was so good) and my husband's chicken paillard will be something we order every time it's offered on our future visits. Another great night at Craig's in the most fantastic West Hollywood. read more

Whether it's a casual dinner, a celebration, or a spontaneous night out, I've never had anything less than a great experience here. While there are plenty of menu favorites, let's talk about dessert because that's where my self-control completely disappears. No matter how full I am, somehow there's always room. The desserts are worth saving space for and often end up being the highlight of the meal. Craig's has mastered the art of making guests feel taken care of while still feeling fun and relaxed. Great food, great people, and great energy every time. That's why I keep coming back. read more

For my birthday every year, I go to Craig's to celebrate. This year my friend and I went and once again received amazing service, great food, and we had lots of fun. I have never had a bad experience here. I got the strip steak and my friend got a burger with what looked to me to be mushroom gravy on it. Every bite of every thing was delicious. I will be going back next year for my birthday, and I'm ready. Enjoy this great restaurant! read more

The renovated patio was so nice and inviting. Loved all the art and bright natural light - such a different vibe from the front of the restaurant. Service and food were top notch. The GM and Craig come around and greet everyone. Such a great place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary! read more

My cousin and I grabbed a last minute reservation for her birthday last night and WOW we had a phenomenal experience. I truly need to highlight our waitress, AMY. From the start to the very end, she made our experience so memorable! She had such a warm, inviting, demeanor that made us feel so comfortable in this space and made our dining experience so enjoyable. My cousin and I ordered the key lime martinis which were absolutely terrific. I ordered the "Only Fans" martini later on which had passionfruit and was so delicious. My cousin ordered a gin martini with a twist which was great as well! For our entrees, we ordered the Caesar salad, chicken parm, and vodka pasta and all entrees truly did not disappoint. The Caesar was classic and tossed well. The chicken parm came with marinara spaghetti, and it was amazing!! The chicken parm was superb and the spaghetti with the marinara tasted so fresh. The vodka pasta was wonderful as well, and the taste was done well! After that, my cousin and I ordered the tinx sundae and it was honestly the best dessert at a restaurant that I've ever experienced. Amy told us later on that it was vegan and was made of cashews! We also ordered chocolate chip cookies which were fantastic, and Amy even brought over bread pudding with a candle which for my cousin's bday, which was so delicious! Thank you to Craig's and huge shoutout to Amy for making our night immensely sensational!!! read more

Everything we ordered was excellent. The short rib was tender and rich with deep flavor, and cooked perfectly. The caviar bite was small but packed with a clean, briny pop. Oysters were fresh and beautifully presented, and the scallops were seared just right with a delicate, buttery texture. We had a sparkly sundae, to celebrate a birthday which was the perfect sweet ending . Overall, a great dining experience. read more

Took a quick solo trip to LA and knew I wanted to try Craigs. I got there a little earlier than my reservation but I was seated within a few minutes. I was seated in the back area and it was so nice and warm because of all the heat lamps around. It was just as warm as inside if not warmer! I ordered the cesar salad, the bolognese, sparkling water, a cucumber mocktail and the chocolate chip cookies. They also bring you a bread basket. Overall everything tasted good but I wasn't amazed by anything. I think this restaurant is overhyped because celebrities come here once in awhile. My total came out to be $113 without tip. On the pricier side for what I ordered. The ambiance is nice and the service was great 5/5 read more

Craig's - American Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Craig's is one of those classic Old West Hollywood restaurants that you "have to go" to at some point if you're living in LA. It's an Italian restaurant where people go to "see and be seen." They have lots of classic Italian dishes. The restaurant itself gets very crowded later in the evening so might be easier to get a reservation for earlier. I would definitely not recommend getting their pizza. The pizza was soggy, and the toppings significantly lacked in flavor and seasoning. I tried the mushroom truffle and the pepperoni margherita. Both were soggy and did not pass the "flop" test (the undercarriage of the pizza is not crispy enough to hold itself up when folded vertically). I did enjoy their "American chopped" salad, as well as their 12 oz Wagyu steak. I like that the salad had fresh corn and a zingy vinaigrette. The steak was perfectly cooked and came with a savory brown sauce (bordelaise) that you get to pour over top. Service was pretty good, no problems there. The restaurant really delivers that old Hollywood vibe, and it clearly has a long and rich history. You will see all kinds of patrons here because this restaurant has a long reputation. I don't know that I would go back so soon, but I am very glad I finally went! read more

Very cute spot, but the service wasn't the best. I feel like we were waiting for both food and drinks for a while, however our server was really nice. The bread that they give you was pretty good, garlicky but kind of sweet too 6.5/10. Calamari was solid, but missing a sauce 7/10. I ordered the Lobster Diavolo which had great flavor, a decent amount of lobster, and a nice kick to it. For someone that doesn't really like red sauce pastas, it was really good 9/10. My boyfriend got the chicken parmesan, it's a pretty big portion and he really liked it overall. The interior itself was very nice, with moody lighting making it great for a date night or to celebrate a special occasion. read more

Definitely a scene, though not necessarily an upscale one. But a crowd-pleaser with out-of-towners; always a hit, and you definitely walk out of with a story or two. I've taken girlfriends from the OC, friends from the UK, etc. Also holds the record of always having some sort of "celeb" sighting there, from A-D. I've seen Real Housewives of BH (Sutton and Kathy Hilton), TikTok 'stars' (Josh Richards, Chris Olsen) and random others (Diane Warren?!) Menu both cocktails and food are no-frills. There's a drink called The Danny Ocean, and pigs on the blanket are on the menu. Don't sleep on the chocolate chip cookies though. Honestly they weren't kidding when they said they are some of the best you'll ever have. read more

Craig's is one of those rare restaurants that gets everything right. The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service makes every visit feel special. Whether you're celebrating something or just grabbing dinner, it always feels like a place you want to come back to. What truly sets Craig's apart, though, is its incredible General Manager, Emma. She is exceptional at what she does. Emma has a rare gift for making every guest feel genuinely welcomed and valued. Her warmth, kindness, and attention to detail create an atmosphere that feels more like being welcomed into someone's home than dining at a restaurant. You can tell she genuinely cares about both her guests and her team, and that positive energy is reflected throughout the entire restaurant. It's easy to see why Craig's has earned such a loyal following. Great food is important, but it's people like Emma who turn a great restaurant into an unforgettable experience. We can't wait to come back. Frank and Brenda Catalano read more

SPECIAL MOMENT when Craig (owner) stopped by our table to see how our table was doing. He was kind enough to take a picture with my daughter, Rayna. He also mentioned that the kids' cups had pictures of his kids when they were younger. As always, the food was great, and the service was amazing from our server Daniel and the team. read more

We came to Craig's on a Sunday for dinner. We were seated upon arrival. I have been waiting to try this restaurant for ages, I am glad I finally did it! It's a classic restaurant. We shared the Craig Caesar salad and the caviar bites. For my entree I chose the honey truffle chicken which was delicious. For dessert we chose the chocolate chip cookies . I was going to eat just half of a cookie but I couldn't resist the temptation and ate it all . They are exquisite and warm , they literally melt inside your mouth. I'm looking forward for the day when I can go back. read more

Came here for a friend's birthday. I'll say, I think you need to know what you are getting into when you come here. It is more of a place for vibes than food or anything else. That being said, we did know that, and we had a nice time. We tried the pigs in a blanket which were tasty (how could you mess it up). I also got the chicken parm which was delicious as well. They messed up something for my friend's birthday, but over the top nice with desserts galore. They also were just super friendly overall. This isn't a place I would stop in for just any old dinner, but really fun for a special occasion and would come back! read more

I will never eat at Craig's again. The aroma of mildew permeating from the carpet ruined the whole dinner. They were so overbooked they couldn't seat us anywhere else but I don't think it would matter. People in LA would talk up a hokey puck on a bed of bernais sauce. This place is surviving on clout, and clout alone. Waitress was a very nice lady. read more

I recently visited Craig's for my mom's birthday and Mother's Day celebration with a party of five. I want to start by saying the food was excellent, and our waiter, Christopher, was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and brought great energy to our experience. He made us feel genuinely taken care of. Unfortunately, our interaction with the maitre d', Patrick, left a very different impression. We arrived right when the restaurant opened and were initially told to wait at the bar until our full party arrived, which we understood. Once everyone arrived, Patrick seated us at a table directly behind the host stand while the restaurant was still nearly empty. On the way there, he jokingly said he was taking us on "a long walk" and called it "the best table in the restaurant," which felt dismissive given where we were ultimately seated. We politely asked if there was another seating option because we had made a reservation and wanted to be comfortable. Patrick told us they were "pretty busy tonight," despite the restaurant being nearly empty at the time. After we followed up, we were eventually moved to another table, which we appreciated. As we were leaving, we noticed a table we had asked about earlier -- one Patrick told us was reserved for a party of seven -- had only five people seated there. When I pointed out that it seemed inconsistent since we were required to wait until our entire party arrived before being seated, he said they were still waiting for two additional guests. When I questioned that explanation, he then changed his reasoning and said they were "just dining for dessert." It felt like there was a rebuttal for everything rather than a genuine effort to address our concerns. I'll let others draw their own conclusions, but the inconsistencies in how we were treated left a disappointing impression on what was supposed to be a special celebration. Thankfully, Christopher and the food helped salvage the evening. read more

Coming into Craig's, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was in town from NYC for the weekend and decided to try the famous Craigs to see what it was all about. I was definitely cautious that such a hyped up restaurant would disappoint as many in NYC do. Fortunately, I was extremely pleasantly surprised. The food we had was all really good and there were no complaints from anyone at the table. The service was wonderful and we truly felt as though the staff cared. We were in to celebrate a birthday and they did it perfectly and we couldn't have asked for anything more. The ambience is the perfect vibe for an easy dinner and is warm yet classy. I'm very glad to say that Craig's exceeded expectations and I can 100% see why this is such a WeHo establishment. We will definitely be back on our next trip to LA. read more

We came here on a whim because the grove was closed. I'd have to say I had a really good time. I'm sorry I forgot the name of the server. We were sad. Kind of outside. Nice seating outside.

The food was mediocre. Had oysters that' are difficult to mess up and the presentation was fines the linguini clam pasta lacked flavor but was a huge portion. The filet was cooked to perfection but still, just average. I'm shocked that this old place, that has more dust in the carpet than a grandma's house is so popular perhaps because it was great service. The price point, even though it's CA is not worth it. read more

"I'm gonna tell you the truth. This place isn't gonna make it." --Don Rickles That's the quote they like to tote about their restaurant, but it's been open since 2011 now! My experience at Craig's for dinner last night was just lovely! From the moment we walked in, we were so warmly greeted by the front desk. Our server was also incredibly kind and informative through our whole meal. The staff here is so great. Now Craig's is such a Hollywood spot since it's opening in 2011. Celebrities loves this place and as a local, I can finally understand why because I will surely be back. I read an article once that said Craig's clientele is diverse but overall, they all look great for 52. So true, lol! The decor is cute though, super simple and basic tables, but the artwork is dope. They also have a bar I saw some dining alone at or with a +1. Now for our eats, we had the caviar won tons shaped into tiny taco bites which were quite literally a bite. However, that bite was scrumptious pumped with creme fraiche and melted in my mouth. My friend was super kind and let me eat 2 of the 3 bites we got for $43, win. We also had the Pigs in a Blanket ($18) which was actually a bigger portion than I expected paired with ketchup and mustard for dipping. The filo shells on these little guys was perfectly done and honestly, the dogs were good. I can't get a good Chicago dog since moving five years ago and these little bite sized guys made me happy. Short Rib Ravioli ($42) was incredibly delicious. I had read in tons of articles that the food here isn't great so my expectations were not high, but those reviews from ten years ago are incorrect. I don't know if they have a new chef, but every single thing we had was great with this Short Rib Ravioli being a standout. The white wine cream sauce had perfect consistency with really nice maitake strewn atop. The raviolis perhaps could have had a bit more meat in them but the taste of this dish was stellar. Really fantastic meal and with a show at the nearby Troubadour, we were able to get in & out under an hour. Absolutely will be back soon. read more

I have been a customer of Craigs for some time now. It is always been my safe space to land when I want to host a business meeting, hang out after an event or simply as in last night, hang solo at the bar following a long day of recording. I would say I am at Craigs about 2-3x a month. Food: Exceptional Ambiance: Love it Reminds me of Kate Mantellinis Drinks: Superior Cookies: Amazing Service: Read Bellow The level of customer service has always been top notch, the Maitre D, and hostess are always so delightful to see and they always make you feel like apart of the family. I would also like to shout out the servers All of them as well as Bartenders, I have never met one I didn't like, and most importantly the doorman Brett who is just as friendly as he is protective and the valet guy is super sweet. While all of my experiences at Craigs has been pleasant, my experience sitting solo at the bar last night was not [Saturday, 4/4/26] At around 10:35, and after a long day of recording, all I wanted was to sit by myself and have two things a Martini and French fries. I sat down and observed one of their most beautiful servers enthusiastically in conversation with the patron next to me. Naturally, I would have expected some acknowledgment. But there was none. I sat and waited for approximately 10 minutes at which point two young ladies attempted to order a drink and she handed them a menu and by default handed me one too, she stated mildly dismissively with no eye contact "Someone will get to you in a minute." Great!!!! I got excited because my Martini and fries would be manifesting soon. They didn't... I continued to watch her pass me by and promptly serve other patrons across the full range of the bar but not me. As a male bartender who is always kind and makes a hell of a drink took the orders of the young ladies next to me...he kindly asked if I needed something and at that point my order was placed... I was elated as I was starving. I sat for 27 minutes at a bar without any service, food or a glass of water, much less a smile. It was so odd. So odd that I would prefer not to repeat that experience again. As a customer, I have a responsibility to bring my best self to any establishment I frequent. I am not pretentious or performative and never am I rude I am just as excited to connect with servers, bartenders as I am my food. I usually walk out of there spending over 175.00 of food and drinks on my own tab. Last night I just wanted a Martini and Fries. As a former server from high school to early adulthood, I learned that I too have a responsibility to bring my best self and give the best dinner and drink experience to each and every customer. I learned a long time ago that If I don't it can have a ripple effect on the customer and business at large. Both customer and wait staff behaviors mean something and communicate something, Suffice to say I was not welcomed as a patron at that bar last night and that message has been received loud and clear.

Craig's is located in Hollywood. This place has legit paparazzi outside which makes a fun date night. Reservations are recommended by all means especially on the weekend. Craig's is American Cuisine. They have been around since 2011 and seem to be a staple in LA with a ton of regulars. Food: We started with the meatballs which were filling but not as flavorful as I would have liked 3/5. The mac n cheese is honestly phenomenal here. It was the right kind of cheesy and I was there for it 5/5 Pigs in a blanket 4/5- kind of funny they offer this at a "high end" restaurant but very delicious and very filling. There are about 8 of them. Chicken parmigiana 5/5 was the highlight of the night it was very filling and delicious ** don't skip on the chocolate chip cookies they are gooey and my husbands favorite. I think he would just come to Craig's for the cookies :) The service was a bit slow initially but got better as the night progressed. I give her grace as it was a busy Saturday night. The wine selection is also pretty solid here. Otherwise, you pretty much have to valet on the weekends as the street parking is pretty limited. read more

This review is for their Private dining experience. We were placed in the private dining room next to the kitchen/back offices of the restaurant. We also had access to a private restroom and an open air back patio area. I did not know the restaurant was so big. From the beginning, the staff went OVER AND BEYOND to make sure that we were comfortable and promptly serviced. There were 2 executives along with a host of wait staff who constantly checked on our private dining area. Due to Southern California traffic some of the party was late. They accommodated this and took our orders once everyone was seated. They also added chairs for people who were not accounted for, and played some soft mood music, along with ambient lighting. They also allowed outside decorations of flowers, and a cake. I am very impressed by the fact that they brought out the food so quick to accommodate our large party. They also kept the drinks and bread coming. I was never out of touch or looking for wait staff The food at Craig's is nothing short of spectacular. They do every dish well. I had their special Honey Truffle Chicken. A nice filling meal. Their Fried Brussels Sprouts were perfect. Also the drinks are super strong! I ordered 1 and was done. Despite having a cake, we ordered some extra desserts which included Keylime pies and chocolate chip cookies. I am a sweets person. The chocolate chip cookies were gooey and hot out of the oven. They keylime pie was done right. Overall just extremely satisfied with the food. Lastly, please note this restaurant accommodates celebrities and executives , so there is always paparazzi waiting outside. Parking is valet or street parking. Allow time to get here as the whole area often has traffic at all points. It is in WeHo. read more
