H: This relatively new Italian hotspot on Melrose Ave. is probably the hippest in town right now. We were there to celebrate the birthday of Hollywood Hottie - Kristen Detwiler.
Appetizers: The meatballs were cold. The shrimp cocktail was like any other restaurant. The fried mozzarella looked like a brown breaded brick. The bread basket used to be worth waiting for. Tonight it was stale and crunchy instead of warm and doughy.
The green goddess salad is the best on the menu. You gotta try it!
Entres: The whitefish was OK. Brussels Sprouts are in every restaurant these days and they tasted like every restaurant. The honey, truffle fried chicken had an incredible taste; perfect balance between sweet and truffle - amazing.
M: I thought the cocktail sauce that accompanied the shrimp cocktail was the best ever. I, too, remember the whitefish being better at a prior dinner at Craig's. Love the atmosphere. Enjoy all the table hopping and people spottings. The service was OK - not enthusiastic. The desserts were the best part - bread pudding, apple tarte.
Bottom line - the energy at Craig's is 2nd to none and we had a great time. Can't wait to go back and have dinner at the bar!
