Crawford's Social

I come here lunch time too but my most favorite time is sunset time here at Crawford. Compared to when they first opened food tasted improved much better. Still our favorite is Brussels sprouts salad 😊 All foods are good! This is place relax with friends, such a great atmosphere. Totally best for big party too.

Reason for visiting: lunch for my brother's upcoming birthday, 50th Date/time of visit: Friday, 3:00 PM Parking: in the adjacent lot, shared with other businesses; free Party size: 4 Environment/ambience: open air restaurant; weather was great. Nice breeze throughout restaurant. 2 big TVs but not sure if they show any games; they had ads on when I saw. Happy Hour 2-5 PM. Service: was good; came often often. Friendly and offered suggestions. Host was friendly too. Food: had the happy hour crab cakes (1 each order), meatballs (2) with sauce, mini pizza (4 small slices). Also had the Hawaiian Stone Sour. Everything was good; if you order the happy hour pizza and meatballs, try the pizza with the meat sauce from the meatballs. Pretty good. Cost: $150 with tip Would I go back (yes/no): 80/20

Sadly, it’s extremely noisy. You literally have to shout to have a conversation, and by the end of the meal, you even notice your voice getting hoarse — quite an experience. The food is overpriced for what it is and tastes pretty average. The place itself is beautiful, with elegant decor, but honestly, the food doesn’t live up to the atmosphere. On the bright side, the staff at the entrance and our server were very attentive and professional. Big thanks to the service team!

The hostess were extremely helpful and accommodating with my partners request. They had the table we wanted and walked us there. That’s when our server Haley 🤍 greeted us with an electrifying personality and a genuine smile brought with exceptional service. Thank you so much Haley for making our experience incredible! The food was delicious and we went with every recommendation Haley gave us. Of course, thank you to Crawfords for making our date so enjoyable.

I hosted a luncheon for 30 family members and friends at Crawford's Social after my daughter's high school graduation, and it was spectacular in every way. The atmosphere was gorgeous, the service was impeccable, the food was delicious. Special shout-out to Mikey on the staff! Everyone is still raving about it, and I would recommend this restaurant highly to anyone - for small or large groups. Thank you for making my daughter's celebration so special.

“CRAWFORDS SOCIAL” Restaurant feels like the designers brought the best of freewheeling, sunny, mid-century Miami Beach, Palm Springs and the Riviera to Westlake. We were there for a special event and the gorgeous, original Avocado-inspired dishes, billed as “light hors d’oeuvres,” together made up the most satisfying meal. Sublime fresh take on food with bold, perfectly prepared and seasoned ingredients!

My wife and I hosted our welcome drinks the night before our wedding (Thursday night, about 100 guests) at the Sunset Bar in the back and it was an amazing experience! Everyone loved the cocktails (we love the London Made) and overall vibe/ambience + the live music. Melissa and her team were so easy to work with - if you’re hosting an event in the Westlake Village area, I would highly recommend Crawford Social!

We first discovered Crawford's Social when searching for a spot to host our wedding welcome drinks, and it immediately stood out. From our very first visit, we felt right at home. The food was so good, the staff was genuinely attentive, and Melissa’s kindness and expertise made all the difference. We ended up choosing Crawford's Social for both our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks, and it couldn’t have been better. The Westlake terrace, with its cozy fireplace, set the perfect mood for our gathering. Our guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed the food and drinks! Melissa went above and beyond to guide us through every detail, making the planning process feel effortless and fun. We also love that every time we’ve come back for lunch or dinner, the vibe has been just as welcoming. We’re so grateful we found this gem and can’t recommend it enough!

We came in for a quick bite and we were not disappointed! Everything was delicious! Haley was an amazing waitress!

Food was great. Ambiance was outstanding. Drinks were good. But the true star of the show was our server. Alex Angell, She was outstanding. The customer service was truly top notch. Attentive, fun, helpful, the most incredible recommendations. I could keep going on about her service alone. Definitely check out Crawford's Social for a good night out with friends, a great date night, or even a cocktail at the bar. But if you're sitting down for dinner or lunch. Make sure you ask to sit in Alex's section. You will have an amazing experience. Thank you Alex.

Food was good, definitely not a $25 Burger. Ambiance was nice except slight warmth where we were sitting due to the door opening and closing by us. Honestly, I was expecting the service to be good. It was not. I i've gotten better service at a drive-through in McDonald's. Andrew E came and checked up on us once during our meal and did not come back until it was time to clean up and drop off the check. He seemed to be more interested in talking with who looked like a manager at the bar rather than dealing with the patrons .We had better service from the person who brought us our food, she was very pleasant. You should also make sure that everybody's on the same page as to the person who brought us our food had said no problem we could get refills and when we asked the waiter, he said there were no refills. We spent just about $200 which may not seem much to you but at least a smile from our waiter probably would've made me feel like he really liked his job. Going forward we will be at Finney's across the way.

Let's start off with the terrible service- (menus left on our table the entire meal, sever didn't know ingredients on the menu and couldn't get me or my girlfriends drinks right) Look....if you order a tomato bisque soup, how are you gonna give me a pack of crackers. At least give me a small portion of bread. (See picture) This place is over price and busted! I will NOT be back!

Came for brunch around 1030 on a Sunday at it was pretty empty. The vibe and service were great, which is why it got 3 stars. The food, while it looks good visually... is just not good. The breakfast burrito lacked flavor, even with the salsa that came with it. French toast was also just okay. I assume coming for happy hour is a better move.

Amazing experience at Crawford's Social! Micheal was the best server--his food and drink recommendations were spot on and made our night. We came on a Friday with no reservation and still got a great seat at the outside bar. The ambiance is beautiful--indoor/outdoor, stylish yet comfortable. Perfect for date night or family dinner. Can't wait to come back!

I feel like this place had a rough start, but after having some great experiences at the bar, this has become a regular spot in my rotation for food and drink! We grabbed seats at the bar, and service here is always point. Special shout out to Kyle, Patty, Saul, and Kylen, who are always friendly, efficient, and make sure you're well taken care of. Food-wise, the filet sliders are always a win! It's served with filet bites (rather than ground filet) that are tender and flavorful. French dip is solid as well. The truffle fries were so good, we always end up ordering a second round. Ambiance is modern and chic. Overall, I highly recommend this place I and can't wait to come back!!

We recently enjoyed Saturday brunch with our friend group celebrating two April birthdays. The weather hasn't been typically SoCal-like recently, so it was touch and go that we'd be able to enjoy sitting outside, but it turned out to be just right. An outdoor round table was just right for our 9-person group. We were cozy, but no one was squished around the table. Dear Hubby and split the divine French toast, and added a side of amazingly fluffy and tasty scrambled eggs, plus bacon. Mmm! Everything was so delicious and beautifully prepared and presented. Portions are very generous, so sharing the main dish turned out perfectly. Am not sure what they did to those eggs, but they were magnificent. Our server took great care of us with the beverages and special requests. About half of us had been to Crawford's before, and it was new to the others. All agreed that they'd look forward to coming back. The ambiance is ever-lovely. Am planning to get together with a couple of girlfriends soon, and I may just suggest this wonderful spot, as I'm not sure either of them have experienced it yet. I just might order the eggs again! (Their beef sliders are amazing, too.)

Overpriced nonsense. Much better options in the area. Spent $200 for two people before tip. Not worth it. We had the wings, the lobster rolls, the skirt steak and a few cocktails. Won't be back.

Happy Hour Only! Its been awhile since I have been to this restaurant so decided to pop in for some happy hour as I have not tried this restaurant's happy hour. The great thing about their happy hour is that it starts at 2:30. The sad thing is that it over by 5:00pm on weekdays. The other positive thing is they have a gigantic, beautiful bar with plenty of seats- but on a Thursday night starting around 4:30pm on a cloudy cold day the bar was starting to fill in. I am unsure if happy hour is served throughout the restaurant. On the happy hour menu, there are a good number of refreshments at reduced price which includes the following: two beers for five dollars, wine for 5-6 dollars, frozen drinks for $10, and a couple of mix cocktails. We fancied the tito's martini with a twist- made perfectly. Pro tip- ask for stuff olives on the side. We also had the London Made which was way too sweet for my taste- it was made with roku gin, cucumber, mint and lime- I was trying to figure out why it was so sweet- perhaps its lime juice with sugar???? I also accidentally ordered a drink that was offered to me off the happy hour menu-the paper plane not frozen (I thought the waiter was telling me he could make the hh frozen version not frozen at the same price) but when the bill came I learned otherwise and drink was $18- big difference as the frozen version was $10. Beyond drinks, there are a selection of food items on happy hour menu- the items include crab cake (single cake) for 9 dollars, shrimp taco for 5 dollar, salad, chicken slider, meatballs, pizza ($10), burger ($11) and more. Quite a selection. From our experience with the happy hour food menu- we would say skip eating from the happy hour menu. We ordered the shrimp taco- and it was a joke for 5 dollars- the shrimps were so small, fried and deflated. The taco had more dressing and slaw then anything else- maybe it should be called the vegetarian taco? And the taco size was similar to a piece of sushi. We also ordered the meatballs which was a bit better-The tomato sauce was spicy but good- the meatballs were ok- not very tender. In conclusion- from my experience with their food at happy hour and dinner in the pass- I would say this is a place that you come for the ambiance and have a drink.....and go somewhere else for dinner!

Meh. A trendy overpriced spot with crappy oversalted food. The restaurant itself is gorgeous but I am so tired of all of these disappointing "luxury" places that have no problem charging you an arm and a leg for mediocre food and service.

The ambiance here is absolutely beautiful and modern -- both the indoor and outdoor seating are great options. The music was perfect, with a great volume and really good selections that set the vibe just right. The appetizers were delicious -- we especially loved the sweet and spicy shrimp, which I'd 10/10 recommend! Our server, Hayley, was so sweet and attentive, making the experience even better. Definitely a place I'd recommend and return to!

Celebrated our wedding anniversary here tonight! Amazing cocktails! Lychee tini for me and reserve old fashioned for my husband. Both, incredible. Our server Haley was so nice and personable! Loved dining with her! Can't wait to come back! Highly recommend!

I came here for a Yelp elite event over the summer and had a great time; I loved the space, food, drinks, and staff, and I've been wanting to come back! I finally got to come by on my own and sat at the bar on a Friday evening. It was pretty busy! I ordered an old fashioned first which was made great, and next I opted to try a Vieux Carre which was good too. The mushroom pizza was delish and tasted great heated back up as leftovers too. Great bartenders, good service, and delicious food and drinks! Love this new spot and will have to be back for late night happy hour!

I was about to give this place a 2 stars review because the food was really bad. The fish stank and the steak was disgusting, but then I got the check and I couldn't believe my eyes! The suggested tips starts at 20% not 18% like other restaurants, but then on a $220 they suggested a $55 tip... I dont need an Ai app to tell me the math is way off but I really went nano banana! this place has a lot of potential, but unfortunately, I dont think that it will last for long.

I'm so glad Westlake finally has a fun happy hour spot! I've been to Crawfords twice now and it's definitely a fun place for an afternoon drink/snack. The service was great and both times the restaurant was pretty busy; good ambiance. However, the food is honestly pretty expensive for what you get (on the non-happy hour menu) so I personally would go somewhere else for a full meal. Overall, this place is a fun happy hour spot but I'm not sure if I'd come back for anything other than happy hour.

I came here for some cocktails with some friends and this place is really nice! They really did this place up and is an absolutely gorgeous venue! With both a bar area, and indoor and outdoor seating, there is no shortage of a good seat. The lighting here for nighttime was top notch. We got various cocktails and wines and they were all so good (with the frozen one being my least favorite)! They had a wide variety to choose from and they also have a good happy hour menu as well, so no matter your taste or price, there is something here for everyone! Our server and the hosts were all friendly too. I do want to come back to this place to try their food, but I did hear it wasn't that great but I cannot say for myself as of right now. Overall, I definitely recommend this place if you want a good cocktail in a beautiful venue in the area!

Yummy food and great ambience. Haley was our very friendly and attentive server. Would definitely come back here again!

I come here lunch time too but my most favorite time is sunset time here at Crawford. Compared to when they first opened food tasted improved much better. Still our favorite is Brussels sprouts salad All foods are good! This is place relax with friends, such a great atmosphere. Totally best for big party too.

This was such a fun place to go to on a Saturday afternoon. We sat at the bar for our first drink and then sat out on the patio for our second. Everyone was very nice and the drinks were great, they have a really great happy hour and lots of options for seating. The vibe here was awesome.

I took off a star because as normal when you walk in, they seat you at the least preferred table. There was no one else here. We even had a reservation. The restaurant remained empty for the first hour. Also, it was very cold, we had to ask restaurant personnel to close the doors, which they had no problem doing. The food was delicious. I had the challah bread French toast and my companion had eggs your way. Delicious! They have an espresso maker, but they only carry whole milk, soy, and almond milk. How about low-fat milk? When I pushed back on the table we were initially seated at they went to check and sat us at the table I preferred (one not next to an open door when it's 49 degrees outside). Keep in mind there was nobody else in the restaurant. Between 10 and 11, one party, besides us, showed up. Had a couple beautiful mimosas, including a peach Bellini mimosa. We'll try again, but I don't like the elitist air of not being able to sit where you like when there's nobody else in the restaurant. What gives? This is not the first time this has happened and I've seen it on other reviews. This is a gorgeous restaurant. I can't understand why there aren't more people here. But I have a couple guesses.

I'm glad we came here to celebrate two amazing ladies I've had the pleasure of working with for a long time. This place is perfect for drinks--very Westlake vibes. Upscale atmosphere, a dog in the restroom, and people dressed in cocktail attire. The mezcal drinks I had were crafted exceptionally--so good I had two. I also tried a sip of a gin martini, and it was excellent. The appetizer I ordered was small but well executed. Chelsey was a rockstar--patient, kind, and attentive to our large group. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience.

One of my bffs and i chose Crawfords today. I've wanted to try this restaurant for about a year. Today was a beautiful day on their patio, it was pleasant as there were about 3 other parties . There was one patron with a dog who rudely moved when we sat down and began catching up . Rude patrons aside, our server , I'm sorry but i probably heard it , but i was focused i my order . I had the pick 2/$24. my fiend had the cobb salad double bacon subbed out for the chicken , I surprise for didn't take anything home she took home about 1/3 her salad it was significant and the mound of bacon was unbelievable that my friend ordered . My BTTLA was delicious, we had an initial hick up with garlic aioli and shredded romaine (not for me) and they graciously changed my sandwich . The bacon was perfect and thick, the turkey shaved but not shredded , tomatoes and avocado thinly sliced . and the need was perfectly toasted yet slightly spongy . I had the chicken soup which i had to stop eating because it was like a meal itself, nice shreds of white meat chicken, noodles perfectly cooked tons of chopped just right veggies. Service was great even with the hiccup and i look forward to many more lunches in their patio ! We didn't even pay attention to the street noise ... the cherry blossoms were blooming so that was another bonus they are just gorgeous

Came to Crawfords for my daughters 13th birthday (daughter chose this place :)). We were greeted with smiles and sat immediately. We had the pleasure of Samantha being our waitress. She was funny, kinda and very attentive. So grateful we were sat in her area, she helped make my daughters birthday extremely special

Our first time here. Everything was delicious even the apple strudel. I can't wait to come back and have the pasta.

Came here on a Saturday night for dinner around 6:30. The place was full! We were seated on the outdoor patio which seems to have 2 tiers. The lower patio was reserved by a larger party so we were on the upper patio. Nonetheless, any seat in this tea seems great. The indoor seating is almost like sitting outdoors because they had the doors openly which naturally flowed out to the patio. Food: we ordered a bunch of different shareables. Sliders, truffle fries, regular fries, wings, roasted Brussels sprouts and chicken tenders. I really liked the sliders. They were not your typical ground beef slider. They were filet mignon. The meat was very tender and although that and butter were the only 2 things between those buns, it was diffident and flavorful. Fried were great and crispy, tenders were nothing out of the ordinary...they were good. The roasted Brussels sprouts with cabbage we one of my favorites! It was so delicious! For drink I got a froze and it was exactly what I wanted! Our waitress was very sweet and friendly and allowed us to try a wine before committing to it which is always a nice option for restaurants to have! The trees all around were nice and created a relaxing environment. The establishment is a bit pricey but so is the area it is in and it's a nice experience, so enjoy! Thank you! All in all, I will be back.

Came here for dinner with friends & we sat outside. We ordered a variety of items from the menu to share. The crabcakes are crispy on the outside and have good flavor with the sauce. Truffle fries come in a basket and there is plenty for sharing. The Westlake filet sliders are juicy and you can see the butter melting off the sides. Skirt steak was cooked to our liking and excellent for sharing. Had to get the tuna avocado as well- loved it the last time I was there and ordered. Parking- plenty of parking in the lot

Went on Sunday to the so called advertised Crawford social Terrace... 6.45pm empty , one person behind the Vespa tap spritz distributor Ordered truffle French fries $16 no truffle flavor had to ask for a side of truffle oil You need to order from your phone taking picture of a square Have to pay and tip before getting food and service Can not have an open tab or cash Ordered burger no onions salad since we had fries before Burger came with onions and fries No temperature asked for the neat Had to ask for napkins Tap water in fancy Voss bottle type with water plastic glasses!!!no ice and at room temperature Disappointed for Westlake ! Can do better Good luck!!!

Alex was awesome, knew the menu and made great recommendations! He was very attentive!! The ambiance is great. The food is fantastic. Had a great time. Large bar.

Went for Easter Brunch. Exceeded expectations! We were greeted by the host, seated quickly. Servers were great, which considering its a buffet, was great. Food was well prepared, all the standard fare, which was appreciated. We had some of the included Mimosas, then added some cocktails. The entire restaurant was set up for Easter, with decorations, an egg hunt and a bunny. We have been to Crawfords for dinner and always impressed with their cocktails and dinners.

Alex our server was super attentive and elevated the experience with subtle check-ins and recommendations on the menu. The frozen watermelon margarita hit the spot on such a hot day, highly recommend!

My wife and I wanted to go somewhere nice for our 38th anniversary and chose Crawford's Social since we had heard nothing but good reviews. The word was right! The ambience was wonderful. The food was tasty, well cooked and well seasoned. Haley, our server, made the night special with her knowledge of the menu and great attitude. We felt very welcomed by Haley and her smile. We will definitely be going back!

Met a friend from Florida here for dinner. Didn't know what to expect, but any expectations were exceeded! From the time we entered the restaurant to the time we left the staff was friendly and welcoming. Our server, Haley, was outstanding. She was on top of our needs and kept us fed with excellent food and hydrated with incredable drinks throughout our visit. When we are back in the area, this will be our stop! Thanks to everyone!

One of my favorite "drinks and a snack" spots although often I end up getting a full meal! I love that they have an indoor and outdoor bar so you can choose your own dining adventure. The space is gorgeously decorated with lovely semi circular booths for a more intimate experience which are nice and comfy. Service is spectacular. The staff has always been so friendly and enthusiastic every time I've visited. My favorite things here are the truffle fries, crab cakes, and London made cocktail. I've order them multiple times and have been a hit every time. Also, if you stop by for brunch the ice cream french toast is a must. I'm not a fan of french toast but this one I really enjoyed. With plenty of seating, 2 bars, good food, and the lovely decor I think this is a great place to meet up with friends or even just have a meal on your own.

Wanted to try someplace different for us for lunch in Westlake area. My buddy suggested Crawford's. Good choice! Beautiful afternoon - perfect for patio dining. And Crawfords has a huge and lovely patio (see photo - which doesn't do it justice - blame the photographer). We decided to share a pizza. We went with the sausage and mushroom ($24). Quite tasty for a flatbread style pizza. They have 5 or 6 beers on tap that go well with the pizza. Service was excellent throughout the meal. Great spot for a casual lunch.

GREAT ATMOSPHERE, NICE SERVICE, GOD FOOD. First time at Crawford special and right when I walked up, a greeter warmly welcomed me and spoke about their happy hour. Great of them to advertise right away! Hostess were super friendly. Served Alex and his bus boy greeted us right when we sat and were very patient. Did not feel rushed at all for a busy Friday night. Food was delicious. Alex suggested the tuna avocado and it did not disappoint! I plan to bring coworkers here to scope it out for event space. It's great for large group buyouts!

First time here , very spacious restaurant, nicely decorated with very welcoming staff . I ordered a watermelon margarita and it was delicious. I also ordered the tomato bisque, this was perfect best soup I have tasted for a long while . I chose an avocado tuna dish and it was equally delicious. I highly recommend this very interesting and popular restaurant.

The restaurant is absolutely STUNNING! I can't even deal. The lobby, and the patio... soooo perfect. I could sit out there all day. The service was great. Very fast and welcoming. The food was very good. Great portion. The presentation was yummy as well. Only thing I would change is probably plating. I ordered steak and eggs and it was placed on a small plate. No room to cut the steak or eggs. ): The frozen drinks were AMAZING. I seen some drinks the bartenders made and they look so refreshing. I would come back for HH to try a few drinks and bites. I do a lot of "people watching" and everyone looks o happy and enjoying their food. It's a whole vibe. And people have private parties here too. Definitely give it a shot. @cantbetam_ed

We had a great evening dining outside, the food was great, atmosphere even better, and Haley our server was amazing. We will definitely be back!

Food is very mid. Extremely over priced. Service is excellent but that doesn't make up for the fact that it's overrated.

Great experience at Crawford's Social. Went for a date night and enjoyed dinning on their patio. One of the best outdoor dining experiences in the area. Upscale but still approachable menu. The prices are a little higher, but everything we ordered was excellent. We started with the Brussels Sprouts. Shredded, lightly fried, with a tasty dressing. No boring sprouts here! For the main course we went with the burger and truffle fries, and margarita pizza. Large portions, and definitely get the truffle fries! The burger was tasty and the crust and fresh basil on the pizza made our meals very savory and satisfying. Lots of fantastic cocktail options. Service was on point and we loved the relaxing patio and fun seating options. It was busy, but since we arrived early on Friday evening, we were able to be seated without reservations. Would recommend a resy on a weekend. Would visit again and enjoyed our experience.

Great night at Crawford's bar! It was a very quiet Sunday night, which made for a nice experience overall. Met a friend and it was great to catch up while making friends with those who were around us. We had a few drinks and also ordered a couple small bites. Overall enjoyed my time, will definitely be back again soon!

Very nice, spacious, and elaborate bar area. Better to come before 5pm during happy hour which gets you 50% off a lot of food and drink items. Gets a little busy at this time though, so servers are a little slammed. Food and drinks are okay, but worth the price during happy hour.

Our server Haley really made our experience great! Pizza was delicious & Brussels sprouts were our favorite. Coming back to sit in Haley's section!

Crawford social had an amazing vibe with the music and atmosphere. Haley was an amazing server, so sweet and tended to our every need.

Had a wonderful dining experience! We are locals and love to pop by for a good ol Caesar salad and burger. It was our first time having Haley as a server and she was super wonderful, accommodating and attentive. Always a good vibe at crawfords!!

Service...excellent Cocktails...delicious Pizza...tasty Chicken piccata...pricey but good Brownie sundae...bland! Not sure I'd rush back for the food but it's a fun place to meet friends.

One of the most beautiful restaurants I saw for a long time .! The place is so pretty .. the sofas are so comfortable and the food is divine. We love the Margarita pizza and the also tomato bisque soup is amazing . Thank you so much Haley !

The reason it gets 2 stars is for the server. She was great! The food is absolutely AWFUL. Frozen chicken buffalo bites tossed on a soggy salad - super gross. Tomato soup was something store bought but not good and the grilled cheese had so much bread it wasn't even tasty. For a gorgeous restaurant this is so sad to see the quality of the food be so poor. If you'd like to stick around you need to get a new chef and elevate your food quality. Great ambiance but not with that quality
