Why this room is hard

It is not an OpenTable problem. It is a two-week window.

Craig's runs on Melrose in West Hollywood as the city's most-photographed paparazzi room, with an American menu and a dining room that has been part of the LA scene since 2011. The valet line is part of the format.

OpenTable opens two weeks ahead. Prime tables clear in the first minute; the bar takes walk-ins when a seat opens. The room runs heavy with celebrity-spotting volume year-round.

Melrose. One valet line. Two-week window.

What to expect

Five steps, start to seated.

You ask.

Tell us the night, the time window, the party size. Two minutes on this page. Card on file, not charged.

We confirm the request.

An operator reviews the request, checks the room, and sends a confirmation that we are working it. Usually within thirty minutes.

We work the room.

We reach the floor manager directly, by phone or by text, depending on the night. We do not refresh Resy. We make a call.

You are confirmed.

We charge the card and send your confirmation — the time and the name to give the host.

You eat.

Walk into Craig's West Hollywood, give your name at the host stand, sit down. The room takes it from there. We do not see you again until the next request.
