   Food was good. Service was really good. Drinks are tasty but weak on the alcohol pour. 5 people with 4 cocktails plus dinner $320 before tip. Sides are small and very overpriced. i.e. Sweet Potato is $14. Great ambience

   We visited Crawford Social Restaurant on Christmas Eve and made a reservation via OpenTable. Upon arrival, we were told that our reservation was for outdoor seating, which was a surprise since it was listed as “standard” on OpenTable with no mention of patio or outdoor seating. The staff explained that “standard” sometimes means outdoor seating during peak times, which makes no sense. Typically, restaurants allow you to specify indoor or patio seating, and there was no such option here. None of us were dressed for outdoor dining on a cold evening, and although they offered us outdoor seating options, they were not suitable for the weather or the occasion. We eventually noticed a small tabletop near the entrance with only two chairs. Despite being busy, we opted to sit there but had to ask neighboring tables for extra chairs since the manager did not feel comfortable requesting them on our behalf. This was meant to be a special, intimate Christmas Eve dinner, but the seating situation was far from ideal. We’ve been here before for drinks and appetizers, which we enjoyed, but this formal dining experience fell short. As for the food, it was a mixed bag: •The wings were flavorful but very dry. •The walnut shrimp was delicious, as always. •The Brussels sprout salad was a standout—perfect and a must-try. •The margaritas were strong and enjoyable. •One of our boys ordered pasta, which was too dry and had to be sent back; he opted for a pizza instead, which was excellent. •The chicken tenders were great, and the Shirley Temples were a hit, made with real cherries and bottled Sprite for a nice touch. The overall experience was disappointing for a Christmas Eve dinner. This restaurant is better suited for casual outings—sitting at the bar with drinks and appetizers rather than formal dining. A key takeaway: If you make a reservation, be sure to specify that you want indoor seating, as “standard” apparently means first available.”

   Hi Kami, Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're happy to hear you enjoyed some highlights like the crispy Brussels sprouts, sweet and spicy shrimp, and Shirley Temples, but we’re truly sorry your Christmas Eve experience fell short. The seating confusion with OpenTable is something we’re addressing to make options clearer, and we regret the inconvenience caused by the arrangements and inconsistencies in the dishes. Your comments help us improve, and we’d love another chance to provide the polished experience you deserve. Thank you for sharing, and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Cheers!

   The service was great she has been our waitress before & she is very pleasant. There’s not too much food to choose from specially seafood which is so limited. I was requesting anchovies on the side for my Ceasar’s salad & no anchovies available. The waiter said is in the dressing already which I could hardly taste .. I want the real anchovies that could be tasted on my palette. Ambience is good although inside is too noisy … spicy shrimp was heavily breaded & shrimps are too small all you can taste is the bread coating & has so much veggies more than the shrimp.

   the ala cart pricing for basic items is outrageous.

    Everyone from the hostess to the waitstaff was delightful. It was our first time at Crawfords and we were very pleased. It was a birthday happy hour and we tried almost everything on the menu. The drinks were delicious as well as the food. I definitely will be going back!
