  4. Always Great!
    Greek Salad and Crab Ravioli... my fav! The best part is that you get to bring your own wine and enjoy the views of sunset while you sit back and relax. Its a great place for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

  5. I have daily Cravings for Cravings!
    I used to drive all the way from Santa Barbara, and make it a point to go out of my way, from wherever I was at in the city, to have Lunch or dinner at Cravings. Now that I am in the neighborhood, it's just a hop and a skip away. I love this neatly tucked away spot on Sunset. The food is great, the atmosphere is perfect for a casual lunch or a semi formal dinner. I love the little breezeway s...

  6. we both scraped our plates!
    I'm visiting form nyc so my friend & I have been trying to eat at as many places as possible. This was probably the best so far. I ordered the seared tuna with pesto, I like it on the rare side & it was cooked perfectly I almost didn't need a knife. The fish was not chewy or tough & it was very fresh. My friend had the stuffed chicken which was also amazing. Needless to say there was nothing lef...

  8. BEST RAVIOLI IN TOWN!!!
    I visited Cravings restaurant on 8/11/2008. It was absolutely amazing experience. Food was delicious and waitress very friendly. I felt like at home. I was suggested to try crab ravioli. It became my favorite dish!!! To my surprise it was ?real?!!! I mean real crab meat and real lobster souse. Delicious!!! Desert was also great. Thanks to Cravings my romantic dinner was complete.

  9. Will never, ever visit this restaurant.
    I must qualify this review by saying that I have never been here in person, but I received delivery from Labite. However my issues are with the food itself so I think it's still fair. I ordered the crab ravioli and was disgusted. Lumps of pasta stuffed with canned crab with tons of cartilage and no cheese or seasoning of any kind. I ate two and simply couldn't eat the rest. Their "tiramisu cheese...

  10. Best New york Steak
    This is my first time writting a review for a restaurant , but since my visit at Cravings Restaurant i felt the obligation of sharing my awesome experience with everyone, and let everyone know how delicious their New York Steak with Chipotle butter is. My first visit was mothers day, and i was there with 3 other guest we all order diffrent entrees to try a little bit of everything. I had the New ...

  11. Location, Location, Location!
    Cravings has great food and an amazing location right on Sunset Blvd. Sidewalk dining is popular in this area and all over LA. Once the stores on the blvd. close the restaurants extend tables on both sides in front of the stores for more dining on the patio. The food was very good. Our waiter was good, not great. The hostess was very friendly though. I would definitely recommend anyone to eat her...

  12. Good food, quiet
    The food is good here, but not great. If you sit inside and away from the street it's actually pretty quiet. I went here for desert recently though, and the waiter took 20 minutes from the time he picked up our check to the time he returned it to us...and it wasn't even that busy.

  13. Left much to be desired
    After reading all of the great reviews, we figured this would be the next restaurant to try. Unfortunately, it did little to live up to our expectations. Perhaps we had a new server, or perhaps something was just off. Regardless, our server did not even visit our table until we had ample time to select our drinks, appetizers, and entrees - we felt completely neglected. When ordering the seared tu...

  14. So impressed!
    I have been driving by for years, and I finally went to Cravings this weekend, and I have to say , I loved it! Everything was so fresh, and every dish had so much flavor. And I loved that my sandwich came with cucumber and tomato salad (the best!) instead of standard boring, greasy fries. The service was good, too. Cravings is on the top of my list.

  15. Classy little eatery.
    I went here for lunch recently and really enjoyed myself. They have small plates, almost like tapas, that are the perfect amount for lunch. I had the vegetables and the eggplant, and both were lovely. The only qualm I had was the amount of time it took for our food to arrive...I didn't feel it ought to have taken as long as it did. However, it's great to sit outside and people watch on Sunset...

  16. Amazing staff and ambiance
    Hosted our monthly dinner club there with 10 girls. The staff was amazing and they are really flexible with the menu in terms of substitutions. Highly reccommend this place for group, romantic dinner or casual dining.

  17. You can do better
    I've eaten here a handful of times and every time it's not fabulous. After hearing how great the sesame seed chicken salad was i tried it and while it wasnt horrible, it wasnt worth writing home about. The outdoor patio area is nice, but be prepared for lots of flies hovering around your plates - gross!! Actually, the last time I ate there we had the steamed mussels in some broth and that was rea...

  18. Upscale or just plain average?
    Cravings in the Sunset Plaza area of the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood leaves me craving something. Unfortunately it's not their food. I'm not saying it's bad, please don't get me wrong, but for the price and the location, I'd expected something great. Instead, I got standard italian food. People watching adds to the meal, but never makes up for it. Overall, unimpressed.

  20. nice Sunset dining
    My boss and I decided to come here for our last lunch together... One thing I have to say is their complementary focaccia bread is quite delicious, and I think we would have just filled ourselves with it if our main dish didn't come. We both ordered the linguini with clams... I love both clams and garlic, so it couldn't really go wrong. And we dined in the front patio, so it's pretty nice eatin...

  21. Awesome atmosphere
    My girlfriend and I really enjoyed this place. The outdoor patio had a relaxing Mediterranean feel and the food was great. We tried their new small plate menu, the Kofte meatballs were delicious and we especially liked the feta & watermelon salad. This place is pefect for having a drink and people watching on Sunset. The best part of all was the service. Our waiter was very attentive and made s...

  22. Try the lemon arugula salad...
    Another LA staple for whenever I'm in town. While I'm not as familiar with many restaurants on Sunset, this one has brought me back several times in the last year. The lemon arugula salad with shaved parmaesan reggiano is the main reason. This might be the best salad I've ever tried. I also recommend their friend chicken with honey pecan glaze. Not what you might expect, but it is very, very ...

  23. Great Atmosphere, Great Food
    I enjoy this restaurant a lot. I love the black peppercorn steak and the homemade chicken soup. The service is prompt and personable. I do have a problem with the smoking being asthmatic, but the restaurant does not pretend to be smoke free. Also there is a large outdoor seating area with many places to sit where there is no smoking. I like coming here with family and it's one of those LA experie...

  24. good/avg pasta
    i ate here on a weekday lunch. the pretty hostess was talking to the bartendar, and took me 10 min to be seated when they were nearly empty. (at 12 noon) felt like leaving at that moment. my waiter was prompted and better trained. the pasta was good, but nothing inspiring. will I return? maybe. but there are two great cafe across the street, so depends on if I want to cross the street or no...

  25. great casual dining, salads, service!
    a great place to eat lunch at a great location- right on sunset! the service is very accomodating and friendly, and the ambience is just right for a nice meal. the spicy calamari ceasar salad with feta and sundried tomatoes is to die for!

  26. I rather make this at home, then eating here.
    Do not be fool by its looks. Craving has a very romantic and private vibe, but the cost of the food is over priced. I order one eggplant proscuitto for $9 and i get tiny 2 inch size eggplant roll ups; four bites and its gone. caprese appetizer, $12, just 6 tomatoe slices with cheese. tiny side portions with average dishes. my baby lamb, 6 bite size lamb rack with french fries and 1 whole tomatoe ...

  27. Always love it...
    I visit 12 times a year and this has become a staple for me. I've seen the best restaurants have an off night before, so take the people who don't enjoy their experience here with a grain of salt. Great food, great wine list, great people, no downside... I'm back in town and I can't think of anywhere else that I can go at the last second on a Friday night that will satisfy me. Maybe we should...

  28. Great service
    I being there a couple of times. The staff is very friendly and the food is great. I really have no complains. Note: Within March '06 they are renovating the back, so it would not be the greatest place to bring your "first date" during the day. At night, they have candles, heatears, etc. good wine too.

  29. Ok Restaurant, Go tourists!!!
    The place is ok, the food is good..nothing extraordinary though..They attract many tourists which is great because tourists bring money and make the place more lively...the fact that they allow smoking is ok for me even if I'm not a smoker because it makes this place have a more European feeling to it which means..freedom to do what you like!!!Go there for brunch or desserts!

  30. cigarette smoke from ghetto tourists
    The food is good and reasonably priced, decent wine list, but 90% of seating is outdoor, along sidewalk on Sunset blvd. They allow smoking. We sat next to a couple and thier smoke kept blowing in our faces. We kindly asked if they would stop, but they refused and wanted to debate smokers rights. I told them it was really rude, that this was a restaurant and people pay a lot of money to enjoy ...

  31. Fantastic
    While in the area my husband and I were able to book early (8ish) dinner reservations at the last minute. The service was welcoming... not at all haughty L.A. We thouroughly enjoyed our dinners... I had chicken with a phenomenal sauce and my husband had salmon with equally tasty sauce. We sat in the front patio, it was raining but we still enjoyed dinning outside. We certainly will return when...

  32. One of the best
    I've been going to this place for the last 15 years. This is one of the best places on Sunset Strip for the food and people watching. Great food: pastas, chicken, BBQ pizza, lamb, etc. Ambience and service is always tops. Sunday Brunch is very good.

  33. The Worst of LA
    We went there for lunch on a Friday and were extremely disappointed. My girlfriend got a cob salad that used iceberg lettuce that was yellowed. I got a hamburger that was a dry tasteless mass sandwiched between a stale crumbly role. We expected much more given the prices and location. The service was also horrible. We waited 20 minutes for 3 small, stale rolls.
