Crawford's Social - Westlake Village, California

We had my daughter's bridal shower here last weekend and I cannot say enough good things about it! The staff was super attentive and helpful, the food was absolutely amazing, and it was a private enough space that was beautiful on its own, even before any decor we brought! Communication with the event manager, Melissa, prior to the event was so easy and she accommodated everything I had asked for. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for an event! Very, very happy with our experience!

I have been here 4 times now. The atmosphere is fun and social with a bit of California style and class.Two times were good and two times were not. The times that were good we had a lovely server who was knowledgeable, the food was really good and the drinks were yummy. Everything flowed and had a really nice time. We felt important and well taken care of. The two times that were bad was one of every utensil, plate, glass we got was dirty. One of the times was really gross, including lipstick on a cup, something black smeared on the appetizer plate and a dirty knife! The server seemed to laugh it off and we really didn't even get an apology? As customers we felt unimportant and honestly the food was just ok. Our drinks were good, but not as good as before. The servers were OK, not as knowledgeable and we didn't feel like we much mattered. I really want to like this place. I love the atmosphere and the cocktails overall are good, yet my experience has been 50/50. I am not sure if we will be returning again.

LOVE the VIBE!!! Very modern decor, great ambiance, great service, very good food, and LOTS of room especially outside…can easily fit 100+ which is great for very large groups!

Started out with their $8 Rustic Bread! Worth spending the $! So delicious! Very different taste!

Very much enjoyed their Margherita Pizza! Very delicious! Great flavor! Wished I would have added pepperoni at least to take it up another level. I’ll be back for more!!

Also very much enjoyed their Sweet & Spicy Shrimp! More sweet than spicy & I love those candied walnuts! Yum!

The BEST appetizer we ordered was clearly By Far was their MEATBALLS !!!
OMG YUMMY!!!

And the BEST entre we ordered BY FAR was their CRAWFORD’s BURGER !!! So juicy and full of flavor!!! Ultra delicious!!

And make sure to save room for dessert! We devoured their Warm Chocolate Brownie! Very tasty!!

Lost 1 star for their Westlake Filet Sliders, Avocado Tuna & Bacon Wrapped Dates. Slider were plain & meat not tender. The avocado tuna and bacon wrapped dates were not appealing.

We went around 2pm on a Saturday and I guess it was brunch time/brunch menu The restaurant was pretty empty. The server came to give our beverages pretty quickly but after that the service went downhill. It took them about half an hour if not more to get our food. To top it off they had to remake my daughter’s chicken nuggets ( it came way after we all got our food) because they overcooked it. We got the crispy Brussels sprouts but was disappointed because they should call that a cabbage salad. There were barely any Brussels sprouts and now seeing the picture from other people’s review I would’ve not ordered it. Nowhere in the menu it gave the description what it comes with. My mom got the skirt steak and asked for medium but it was super tough. Overall, I was disappointed with the service and food.

I want to say that I waited to come here. I have read sooo many mixed reviews and wanted the place to work it's kinks out. Unfortunately, they have NOT!
A hosts job is to seat you this host just pointed to my party that was waiting for me.
I had been seated at least 10 mins before a Manager acknowledged me. She took my drink order. It was a very long wait to get. Please keep in mind the restaurant was not really busy inside or out around 1pm on a Sunday. I noticed on 3 servers and many bussers.
About 40 mins passed and no server came to our table. I got up and walked to the host & asked if we could have a server. After a bit of confusion 2 servers came to our table with the manager. We were asked if we wanted another drink and my response was I'd prefer food with my 1st drink. We finally ordered and 1st round of drinks were comped.
We ordered the peperoni pizza which is really a flatbread. The Caesar salad would have been so much better on chilled plates as salads should be served instead of limp romaine because of the heat. The truffle fries came out slightly warm, very little to no parmesan but we were famished so didn't return them. FYI, fries are to be served HOT. The brownie for dessert tasted store bought and not the good store bought.

This place was advertised as a heaven sent to WLV. IT IS NOT!

I probably would recommend Crawfords for drinks at their bar ONLY.

*due to hunger I forgot to take pics of the other 2 dishes*

Our book club went to Crawford's Social for the first time and it was quite pleasant. The decor and layout were swanky, and the food was good, with some exceptions.

First, I ordered a Miami Vice, which was supposed to be a strawberry daiquiri and pina colada, layered. They used a frozen drink mix and it was gross. After 2 sips, I sent it back. For $15, I expect a great tropical drink.

Our group ordered the following to share: 4 filet mignon sliders ($8 apiece and quite tender), a margherita pizza (uncommonly salty), central coast kale salad and crispy brussels sprouts (both tasty and flavorful).

The service was excellent and so was the ambiance (they have pretty cool artificial trees with white leaves). However, unless a book club member chooses this location again, I don't plan to return.

The food and prices just aren't worth it. While I gave the restaurant high marks, it's just not for me. I prefer Stonehaus down the street.

If you just want to find a nice place with WiFi, this place is great. I enjoyed every moment. Nice bathroom. All servers are super nice.

I ordered the Brussels sprout salad, but it was too salty for me. The waiter was very nice and wanted to change to another plate for me, but I told him there was no need. Because I know myself when I cook at home, I use less salt than other people.

I love this place only for the surroundings and the people, not for food. <3 🙂 4/18/2024 Brussels sprout salad I turned the half Brussels sprout salad into one salad by adding more veggies, fruits, nuts, dry fruit, and lime juice. It was very good. and a veggie omelet by adding more veggies and eggs, which turned out to be very good. 4/19/2024 Thanks to the owner of Carwford’s Social to write a reply for my review. This is my 1st time, someone wrote me back. I was surprised. Thanks again! You have a nice place; I will come again if I have more free time to sit and enjoy this nice place. Thanks! Brussels sprout salad I cooked the rest of the Brussels sprout salad into a veggie omelet by adding more veggies and eggs, which turned out to be very good.

Wow,Wow!! What an amazing experience! From the moment we walked up I could feel the upbeat positive vibes coming from Crawford's. The ambiance is beautiful, low warm lights and great music. People are buzzing all around with smiles everywhere.
But when we got sat at our table that's when the real experience began. Mario was our waiter, he was extremely inviting, made us feel welcome and his recommendations were top notch!! We have the Brussel sprouts, sliders, Chimichurri steak, and the pepperoni pizza. We had a few drinks and dessert. All amazing.
