Will never, ever visit this restaurant. 8/11/2008

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 cheesecake" is a wholly unremarkable cheesecake with nothing at all to distinguish it as "tiramisu" without the name. It tasted store-bought rather than freshly made. I enjoyed the tapenade that came with the bread rolls, but one roll was so stale it was literally impossible to eat. While I understand that restaurants don't always produce their best work for delivery orders, I'm amazed that they flout their crab ravioli as a "favorite." It was literally the worst I've ever had. I'm glad I found this out through delivery before deciding to try it out in person. more

Best New york Steak 6/25/2008

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 york Steak with Chipotle butter.OMG !!!! it was amazing they Served the warm steak and add a compound chipotle butter that melts on top of your steak delicious !! And not to mention the Desserts they have a housemade cheesecake that is to die for and the Tiramisu you got to try it !! Their customer service is an extra great topping to the their amazing food.Im a culinary art student so i know all the basics to cooking right and this place earns an "A" for their knowlegde on cooking the perfect dinner (steak).The simplicity and combination of flavors used in their dishes is very satisfiying it leaves you craving for more. more

Location, Location, Location! 6/23/2008

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 here. I saw Raven Symone a couple days before I ate here nearby at a small boutique. The hostess told me that Kanye West ate there not too long ago too! A great place to eat and soak in LA! more

Good food, quiet 5/22/2008

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. Pros: Quiet more

Left much to be desired 3/21/2008

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 tuna, I was asked how I wanted it prepared. As I had ordered SEARED tuna, I asked for it to be seared. The server proceeded to ask if I wanted it rare, medium rare, etc. Not wanting her to mess up my food, I kindly responded that medium-rare would be fine, but thinking to myself that as a server, she should be well-versed on the meaning of seared. Not to mention that the mashed potatoes were cold. Go if you must, but if you have another option, eat there first. more

So impressed! 3/17/2008

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. Pros: Food, service, parking, outdoor patio Cons: none more

Classy little eatery. 3/12/2008

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 and I am sure it's nice inside to watch the sunset! :) I'd definitely go back. Pros: Food, Ambiance Cons: Service, Parking more

You can do better 11/26/2007

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 really good. So yeh, it's sort of hit-and-miss here, but more miss. The only reason I've come back so often is because I get invited.. i wouldn't recommend it here. Pros: Mussels in broth Cons: Flies at your table more

Upscale or just plain average? 11/24/2007

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. more
