    Even though Craig's has a reputation for being a celebrity hot spot, it is so much more than that. The food is fabulous, and I've never had a meal there that I didn't love. And I'm a foodie. The waitstaff is super friendly and accommodating. Aside from the entrees, great drinks and great desserts. Highly recommend if you can get a reservation.

    It was my mother’s birthday. Normally, we’d like to sit outside to enjoy the view, but since it was too cold we remained indoors. Despite that, we received great seats and saw a nice sunset. We were also impressed with the Autumn menu with dishes we haven’t seen before. Overall, it was a treat. We’ll return soon.
