The long awaited Crawford’s Social in the Westlake Plaza at 974 South Westlake Blvd (cross street Agoura Road) is today, Saturday, December 16th at 5pm. The bar and lounge will be open for full service at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, December 19th.
Crawford’s Social is a 15,000 sq ft indoor/outdoor lounge and bar serving shareable California coastal cuisine in a beautiful setting. There are booths amidst illuminated trees, firepits and fountain in the resort-like outdoor patio.
The thoughtfully crafted beverage menu was created and is run by expert-mixologist, 25-year London hospitality veteran Ruairi Gilles. Enjoy world-class cocktails with a local flair, like their house special: The Crawford’s Margarita (tequila, pineapple and habanero) and the Westlake Iced Tea (super premium vodka and tequila, triple sec topped with pink champagne). Wines from top marque California vineyards and selected boutique wineries, along with locally crafted beers, round out the drink menu.
The culinary menu is a celebration of California's diverse and dynamic flavors, where patrons will find an array of shareable dishes and crowd favorites. Opening menu highlights include Sweet & Spicy Shrimp with spicy honey aioli and candied walnuts; Filet Mignon ‘Westlake Sliders’ with maitre’d butter; Smoked Scallops with parsnip puree and caviar; and a hand-torn Caesar Salad with buttered crouton crumble. The concept will also offer a selection of Roman-style pizzas with various toppings and a raw selection crafting up chilled dishes ideal for the area’s consistently balmy weather. Crawford’s Social also offers guests a selection of larger plates, including a roast Half Chicken with lemon buerre blanc; Pan Seared Salmon with squid ink couscous and smoked pea puree; Carnitas-Style Pork Tacos with pineapple-jalapeno pico and tomato jam; and more.
