"In Westlake Village, Crawford’s Social is opening for dinner only on December 14 and for full service on the 19; I learned it's a massive 15,000-square-foot space with indoor and outdoor patios that include firepit seating and water features, and customers are welcome to hang out with wines, beers, and expertly made cocktails by veteran barman Ruairi Gilles. The restaurant is serving a full food menu focused on shareable dishes such as shrimp with spicy honey aioli and candied walnuts, filet mignon sliders, and smoked scallops with parsnip purée and caviar; the team is putting the finishing touches amid the holiday season and suggests following their Instagram for the official opening date." - Mona Holmes
