Cravings Restaurant

I visited Cravings restaurant on 8/11/2008. It was absolutely amazing experience. Food was delicious and waitress very friendly. I felt like at home. I was suggested to try crab ravioli. It became my favorite dish!!! To my surprise it was real!!! I mean real crab meat and real lobster souse. Delicious!!! Desert was also great. Thanks to Cravings my romantic dinner was complete.

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.

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.

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!

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.
