The Most Scrumptious Steakhouses in Los Angeles

Kravings

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$$

"I went for happy hour, and became a huge fan. The food did not disappoint. Everyone I was with enjoyed what they ordered. The prices for happy hour are more than reasonable. The service has been top notch. I recommend happy hour. I haven't been here during other hours, but happy hour is quite generous, 3:30 to 6:30, every day they are open."

Bourbon Steak

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$$$

"We had to push back our reservation for 4 a couple times because we got tied up in a fancy store (Tiffany's) at the Caruso Signature plaza. Our server, Nick, made our entire dining experience here so memorable. It was a special dinner with the cousins and Nick took great care of us. The restaurant itself was nicely, dimly lit which set the mood for a serious and delicious meal! One of the cousins is pregnant so she wasn't able to have the Ceasar salad since it had raw egg but Nick brought us truffle bread which was unassumingly DELICIOUS. Pregnant cousin devoured that as well as her chicken plate. I enjoyed my rib eye cap prepared medium. Other cousin enjoyed her lamb chops, and other cousin enjoyed her NY strip steak prepared medium. For sides we had the mushrooms, and truffle Mac & cheese. Everything was SO GOOD! We didn't have space for dessert but I'm certain I'll be back real soon so I'll give desserts a try then. We enjoyed a couple old fashioned, and mock tails. Classy vibes and a great place for catching up with a group of family/friends. Thanks again, Nick & staff for your hard work and excellent service."

W Brazilian Steakhouse

★★★★★ 4.6 (192) • $$$

"W Brazilian is now at a new location on Wilshire Blvd between Normandie Ave and Mariposa Ave. The food taste hasn't changed and it's still yummy. My favorite was the Picanha, Pork belly, and the sides that they serve.Ambiance feels classier than before and there's so much more space. The $44.99 price for dinner is such a bargain. I'm definitely coming back.Parking at the Mariposa entrance was only $1 for dinner. Then we walked around to the front side for the W."

Lawry's The Prime Rib - Beverly Hills

★★★★☆ 4 • $$$$

"Came during dine LA. Our table werent ready since we arrived early so we had some snacks and drinks at the bar. The fries were so good. Thin cut and crispy. The prime rib is the best ive had compared to other places. They had several different sizes for the prime rib but i got the normal size. I put the bread on my plate and it absorbed all the juice so i wouldnt recommend doing that. Their horse raddish also went well with the prime rib. They had one that attacked your nose and the other was subtle. heard their spinach option wasnt good so i was glad i got corn. Service was amazing. Our waiter was hilarious."

Mamá Por Dios

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (522)

"Hidden on a corner in DTLA , this place was a diamond in the rough. My wife and I went for our anniversary and it was amazing. Service was great! Food was great! It was nice inside, not to dark but not to bright. Noise level was moderate. We will definitely be going back here in the future."

Terra e Mare

★★★★☆ 3.8 (192) • $$$

"There were quite a few issues with my dish, but mistakes happen everywhere and I still love this restaurant. It's super chill and the waitstaff is kind and unpretentious. The reason for "four stars" is because we were celebrating my husband's birthday -- they received a heads up from me and confirmed they would put a candle in his dessert. When his dessert arrived, there was NO candle -- only a cheap "Happy Birthday" placard on the dessert. We were told "oh sorry, yeah, we don't have candles, only placards." Very thoughtless and honestly rude not to provide candles to birthday patrons who want to blow out a candle/ "make a wish" on their annual birthday. We sang "happy birthday" but he had nothing to blow out. Lame. How on earth do you not have birthday candles? It's just a few bucks. Go buy some."

La Boucherie

★★★★☆ 3.9 (573) • $$$$

"Came here for date night with wife and wanted something romantic and classy and that's what we got coming here. Service was excellent and attentive to our wants. My steak was grilled perfectly the way I like it, medium rare. We had seating right at the window looking out to the city lights. I would recommend this place to friends and family as well as fellow Yelpers as I had a wonderful date night with a wonderful person, great food, and easy parking in structure connected to building. Pricey but worth it."

Lena at Sendero

★★★★☆ 3.7 (18)

"My daughter picked this place for our Christmas dinner. Decent price, nice service, it was very decent for a downtown L.A. restaurant. Some tourist was giving a bad reviews but being a local L.A. resident, this is a decently priced restaurant. I would disregard that review. Who splits meal with a group of adults? What are you 12? If you can't afford it, find some place else for a dining. I ordered the rack of lamb and my daughter ordered the American Wagyu ribeye. Everything was decent."

Lala's Argentine Grill

★★★★☆ 4 • $$

"My Mom and I were patrons of Lala's on Melrose 20+ years ago. We would grab food to go. Parking was nonexistent, so I would go in and she would sit behind the wheel in case she needed to move the car. Yes, it was that serious, because their food was that good.Not having been in ages, I noticed Lala's on a food delivery app. I ordered and man... it is as good today as it was then. I ordered a NY steak, half-rice and half-fries. It came with chimichurri, which is SO delicious, and the softest, freshest sliced French bread. This was my dinner after spending nearly 2-days straight in the hospital with my Mom. (No Lala's for her this time. :-( ) It was such a blessing. It arrived cooked perfectly, still hot, fresh and delicious.I look forward to ordering from Lala's again soon. Thank you for being consistent."

TD Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3 (45) • $$

"Drove down Lower Azusa and saw a banner that advertised the grand opening of TD Cafe. Decided to try it out with my parents and was pleasantly surprised with how busy it was on Saturday evening. The restaurant itself is fairly big with a good number of tables - about 85% of tables were filled when we walked in and there was a steady number of customers entering during our stay. We don't have too many HK cafes in the area, so I can see this place being busy. TD Cafe is located in the bowling alley plaza - there's been a lot of restaurants popping up, so hopefully this one is here to stay. Parking is not an issue - located in a fairly large plaza with a ton of parking space. Overall ambiance is nice - high ceilings, large space for people to meet and chat. The menu offers a good selection of Chinese dishes with lunch and dinner specials, several special combinations (comes with a drink and soup), as well as some Western dishes. Prices are pretty affordable. Not sure if they have breakfast, but they do have some items that are typically found for breakfast (kaya toast, French toast, HK style pineapple buns). Ordered the special combination of the clay pot rice with preserved meat, dry morel and chicken soup (the other more popular soups were sold out for that day) and an iced lemon tea ($18.99). The clay pot rice does take about 30 minutes to cook, but the wait time wasn't too bad. I really liked the soup - slightly medicinal, super warm and healing on a cold evening. Lemon tea was made well, but slightly on the sweeter side. As for the clay pot rice - I really enjoyed this dish! Came with a separate sweet soy sauce that we poured over the rice. There was a generous amount of Chinese sausage, preserved meats. I also enjoyed digging at the bottom of the pot for the harder rice pieces stuck to the bottom of the pot. Fried stick rice with preserved meat, dried mushrooms, dried small shrimp, peanuts $12.99. This was well made - good amount of ingredients, liked the chewiness of the rice, and the peanuts on top gave the dish a more fragrant and elevated feel. And we got the deep-fried pork chop with honey garlic sauce $11.99 - one of the lunch and dinner specials that come with steamed rice. For $12, this was pretty worth it. A good amount of pork chop pieces. Sauce was a bit cloying, but overall had good flavor that went well with the rice. They also gave some free garlic bread as an appetizer, which was appreciated. Honestly, this was a hit for me and I definitely will be back to try the Western dishes and the HK pineapple buns! Hoping that it continues to do well and become permanent in the SGV."

STK Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$$$

"Ladies night out ? Heck Yes! Met up with Yelpie buddies to check this place out after previously being introduced to their product at yelp elite events. The expectation was set and i wanted to personally check this place out. Located in Westwood, Los Angeles. please note there is not much street parking as its near by UCLA and that can be a challenge. My recommendation would be to do valet; $24 if you pay in the lobby of the hotel or $26 if you pay with the valet attendant. The valet attendant was kind and offered to walk me under the umbrella so that i would not get wet! ( it was raining ) Upon entering you are beautifully greeted with great art work in the lobby of the W hotel.. if you walk on down and make a left you are at the entrance of STK! I checked in for our reservation of 4 people but only 3 attended. Our party was not all there yet so i waited at the bar and ordered a drink! Finally our party was here and i was was ready to have a nice meal! Our server brough over a complimentary bread and oil to the table. that was delicious. Hints of blue cheese was really good. ( I'm not a fan of blue cheese, well, only a little bit) Our party opted for the Dine LA experience to which they had a preset menu for us at a cost of $55 per person. I had the following Staters: 1. Tuna Tartare Tacos (3) - Hass avocado, taro shell, soy honey emulsion. Very fresh and delicious. the taro shell gave it that crunch! Entree: 1. Ribeye (additional $16 upcharge to the $55 ) with my sides being parmesan truffle fries at (additional $10 ). My ribeye was cooked perfectly though it lacked seasoning even after the truffle garlic butter they flamed over my steak after serving it. it dint do much. now the parmesan truffle fried were the star of the night! They were perfect! Dessert: baked apple crumble with salted caramel ice cream. our deserts took for what seemed like a very long time to wait for maybe 25 mins or so after finishing our meal. dessert was okay i was looking for more of the breaded goodness The ambiance of this was establishment was nice and its aesthetically pleasing! would i come back.. I'm undecided."

Mistral

★★★★☆ 4.4 (619) • $$$

"First things first, food was exceptional and every dish was on point! We visited with a party of 4 and between the four of us we managed to enjoy reasonable mix of items on the menu and having shared most of the items, I can confidently say it doesn't matter what you order, you'll be satisfied (side note on pricing, both food and wine menus are very very reasonably priced for such a sit down restaurant). As far as service, you can tell everyone works as a team! Very rare to come across down a days. Everyone is paying attention to every table, not like other places where servers concentrate on their tables and can care less what happens on other tables. Also, attention to details, to make sure everyone has a great experience was exceptional. At one point, a staff member approached to adjust our wobbling table, which was so little that we had not even noticed. These things are small and unnoticed gestures but must be pointed out to show that customers do appreciate and they do notice! The dining areas was very warm and welcoming. Thank you for a great night and an exceptional dinner experience!"

Nusr-Et Steakhouse Beverly Hills

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (480) • $$$$

"Excellent service! Love this place, definitely coming back. Baklava was exceptional, they said ice cream came all the way from turkey. The pretty cherry blossoms decorated the place very pretty. Steak quality was top notch!"

Larsen's Steakhouse - Encino

★★★★☆ 3.8 (707) • $$$$

"Great atmosphere, elegant and intimate, a good place to host a celebration. It's upstairs and there is an escalator and elevator. There is a bar. There is paid parking in a structure underneath the shopping center.The food is what you'd expect from a steakhouse of this type, if you stick to the steakhouse fare you can't really go wrong. The have a decent wine list and offer premium cocktails.The one area for improvement is the service, it is quite slow. The servers are friendly but could be more attentive, we had to ask for drink refills and such, and were missing a place setting when the food arrived. Other than the wait for the food and the inattentive server it was a good experience and I'm sure we'll be back."

Monty's Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 3.7 (707) • $$$

"We have been diners for years. This evening was sub par. We have become used to the inflated prices, however , with that came a certain level of service. Tonight was a disappointment. Food was thrown at us. The entrees were not explained properly as far as what was included which caused over ordering of unnecessary sides. Overall the dining experience was not as expected. It saddens me to say this about a staple in the neighborhood."

Carlitos Gardel Argentine Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 4.4 • $$$$

"We start off with some agua con gas...and bread and chimichurri...Argentina is changing ... with new super undervalued currency... an increase in violent crime especially in the city of Rosario Santa Fe... a Dictatorship seems looming with Milei's new presidency...and callous politics...economic crashes pending ...weak govt policies approving banned pesticides from USA and exiled in Europe now in Argentina'a food supply...makes me wonder if their grass fed beef will be affected...Not to worry...We have Carlitos Gardel Argentine Steakhouse to transport us to what Argentina once was...And still IS some would say...at least here anyway...Here's hoping!We started off with some delicious beef empanadas... fried ... not sure if they have a baked option...Then some achuras that came with the parrillada... the mollejas were juicy and tender and absolutely perfect with some crunchiness here and there... the morcilla paired well with some fresh bread and chimichurri sauce and the chorizos tasted classically Pancho!The skirt steak and short cut ribs stole the show because that's what Argentina does best... the meats... some limón over the bbq grilled mollejas... yea that makes it better...so much better... the Mollejas; Steaks; and Ribs were all grilled to perfection... not a dry note in the house...The fries disappeared in seconds...Then for dessert ... Dulce de leche con flan and a perfectly made cappuccino to finish me off...My date was satiated...she'll stop hunting for small animals for at least a few more weeks...but her hunger pangs have been hard to ignore...at least for now.....if at least for a few more days...these meats will buy us more time...lolMy belly rejoiced with my nostalgia...for everything that makes Argentina legendary...I sit back in my chair and think about everything I said about Argentina...thinking about the three stars and how we're ready for a fourth! With Di Maria retiring I'm thinking Julian Alvarez will do as a new replacement...There's good with the bad...and bad with the good... in the end I pray that Argentina pulls through and gets their home issues in order ...there's a lot to chew on there right about now...But any nostalgia has now disappeared... I'm home again...3000 miles from home...we love LA...Not to mention the service here was superb... with over five different servers tending to our table ... we were never left needing or wanting a thing...I think we dropped a fork and there was someone there in seconds to replace it...This is what Argentina is supposed to feel like...PerfectionAnd it is...at least HERE ...in Los Angeles...Right here on Melrose...At least ...for the time being..."

The Penthouse at Mastro's

★★★★☆ 4.2 • $$$$

"I come here every year to celebrate my anniversary (except for one year during COVID), and to this day, it's still my favorite steakhouse. Everything--from the bread to the steaks to the sides--is consistently delicious. The service is always exceptional, and they truly know how to make your day special. This past anniversary, our waitress surprised us with a dessert platter--a really sweet gesture, even though it was a bit much for just two people. But moments like this are exactly why we keep coming back and recommending this place to all our friends. I can't imagine celebrating anywhere else and will probably be coming here for decades to come!"

Red Flame

★★★★☆ 4 • $$

"Quiet, clean and nice looking atmosphere. Booth chairs are too upright. If you like to lean back, we prefer the center aisle tables with regular metal chairs instead. Parking can get hectic but somehow we haven't had any issues yet (there's a card shop that seems to be popular in the plaza). This is our second time there, and I really enjoy the garlic noodles with steak, and my husband enjoys the steak entree. Marinated steak with garlic noodles that are flavorful and not overwhelming, plus it comes with a salad. My only gripe is the paper cups. Not enough to minus a star, but it's definitely not something you'd expect from a sit in restaurant (unless they were serving pizza to go). Im guessing it's a relic from the pandemic times and I won't fault them for that, but I do hope they use up the stash soon lol. Would return for a weekday lunch. Just to add, the service was fine - they came back frequently to check up on us and also make sure we didn't park at Taco Bell. Appreciate their consideration!"

The Hideaway

★★★★☆ 3.9 (692) • $$$$

"Beautiful venue and atmosphere. We walked in by mistake and loved the experience. The excellent service and delicious food made all the difference. All of that with great reasonable price - come check it out - you will love too. P.S. I had chicken fiesta and my husband the steak and fries."

kodo

★★★★☆ 4.3 (504)

"BEST MATCHA I've tried IN TOWN so far.kodo is a Japanese restaurant open for dinner that opened a coffee shop at the front during the day and is now also a hotel.This achingly beautiful space serves the best ICHIGO MATCHA I've had.Barista was fast.Street metered parking."

BOA Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 4 • $$$$

"I enjoyed this experience the food was top tier! The service superb, and ambiance perfectly set for a fine dining experience. Great music, beautiful views. My server Charles very knowledgeable! Helped navigate the menu and made some great suggestions on what we should try. He listened to what we wanted and DELIVERED This isn't going one a cheap experience. I decided I wanted to try a little bit of everything without breaking the bank. We started with an appetizer the Colossal Blue Crab cocktail 5/5 delicious the crab is served cold. You're giving two sauces a cocktail sauce and a tartar sauce both are exceptional delicious. The crab is nice and plump with a little sweet taste. I loved it. The French onion soup was rich, onions tender, lots of cheese (my only complaint) too much cheese. It was good probably wouldn't order it again. I decided to get the Petite Filet, this steak melted in my mouth I ordered mine medium well. It came out with a nice pink center this steak actually melts in your mouth. It was one of the best steaks if not the best I've had. I also tried the 21 day bone in Rib Eye, it was cooked well done (cringe) I tried to talk my guest out of the this lol she wasn't budging. Surprisingly well done wasn't too bad, the rib eye was still juicy not dry like most well done steaks. I enjoyed the asparagus and mashed potatoes, the macaroni just didn't do it for me. Desserts Toffee pudding so delicious I mean GOODT, I loved it nice and warm with a sauce to drizzle on top. I would definitely order this again. I enjoyed this more than the cheesecake. Alcohol 2 lemon drops. I'd usually get my lemon drops with Tito's, I usually don't like citrus infused vodkas or additives. I decided not to change anything. It was a good lemon drop. All in all I highly recommend! If you're looking for cheap this isn't the steak out house if you're looking for a tasty fresh steak accompanied by a great experience. Give it a try! LASTLYVALET park I made the mistake of parking on the street came out my car was towed smh. The most criminal thing I've ever seen. Like entrapment"

Musso & Frank Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 • $$$

"(Playing Catch Up: Review for on Saturday night dinner on 11/23/2024)DRINKS (4 Stars)I had my usual glass of Chardonnay. It was Not nicely chilled.My sister had a cocktail drink. I like the way they serve their cocktail drinks including their martinis. Because they put some of it in a nicely- chilled container for your chilled sorta refills.FOOD Bread - The bread this time was no good (1 Star)Appetizers (5 Stars) - The ones we ordered were really good. We had the Steak Tartare again. However, I noticed that it was significantly smaller. We had a second appetizer -- I think it was the mushroom. And it was really delicious as well.Main Course (4 Stars)My sister had a steak. I don't remember what it was. But she was happy with it. I had my usual Lamb Chops. The main reason that I like Musso & Frank is bec they are the only restaurant that served Lamb Chops that taste like lamb chops. But this time I noticed that the lamb chops did not have its characteristic taste. But at least they served it with mint jelly. My disappointment with the Lamb Chops prompted me to by a Smart Oven and broil my own lamb chops. So when I got my smart oven, I bought lamb chops at Whole Foods. I remember several years ago that WF's lamb chops really tasted like lamb chops. But this time, not anymore. So I guess it is not Musso's fault that their lamb chops don't taste that much like lamb chops.DESSERT (5 Stars)It was my sister's birthday and they gave her a complimentary dessert. And that is nice because many restaurants don't do that anymore. The complimentary dessert was like a Brownie topped with Vanilla Ice Cream. Not too shabby.PARKING - Valet and I recall that the cashier had an attitude (3 stars)"

LA Gondola

★★★★☆ 3.8 (323) • $$$

"I was at a private event last week and since they did not have a kosher kitchen, my food arrived at the table in a box from La Gondola. I wasn't expect much as it had clearly been prepared ahead of time and reheated. Think airplane food. I was so surprised. The food was delicious. It was so fresh and tasty and had outstanding texture. It was as if the meal had just been prepared for me before it was served. Keep in mind, there were 600+ people at this event. I look forward to visiting the restaurant in person. It's been way too long!!Thank You for doing it right"

Toca Madera

★★★★☆ 3.8 • $$$

"The service was great! The food was wonderful. Our server brought us a complimentary dessert which was a nice touch. The vibe and ambiance made us want to return"

Sushi Palace Hollywood

★★★★★ 4.6 (107) • $$$

"10/10 on all aspects, can't recommend Sushi Palace more! From the food, service, ambience and more, everything was fantastic. The head chef, Max brought out most dishes himself and our server Elise was great. The food, especially all the seafood was so fresh and the attention to detail was top notch. For drinks: Bubble Bath is not only super cute but tastes great too. If you like spicy drinks the Shy Hinata was amazing. Small plates: German dumpfnudel (dumpling) with butter was so tasty and the miso soup had a lot of flavor. The spicy tuna crispy rice was the best I've had in LA, the rice was cooked so well it basically fell apart. Nigiri: salmon and hamachi were so fresh In the "new style sashimi" we got the scallop tataki and the flavor was so incredible. Dessert - the brownie with valrhona was to die for!!! Do not skip on that."

American Beauty Steakhouse - The Grove

★★★★☆ 4.1 (69)

"Your New Modern Steakhouse. I've been wanting to go here for quite a while & let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Located towards the CBS end of The Grove (you'll actually have to use the crosswalk opposite of the Farmer's Market parking lot). Interior is dark & moody, but not too dimly lit. My friend & I actually opted to dine in the patio & I'm so glad that we did. It's The Grove, after all, & this locale really thrives off it's outdoor setting. There's plenty of fire pits to keep you warm & the area is well lit. Fernanda (request her in the evenings as your server if possible!)was nothing short of exceptional. Even if you came in not knowing what to order, she'll happy give you a rundown of what this steakhouse (a sister location to the original restaurant in Venice) thrives in. But my friend & I knew exactly what we wanted...Main Course:Flannery 30-day Dry AgedPrime Porterhouse 32 oz. $165Yes, it is the most expensive dish. But I am a carnivore at heart & for a steakhouse, I knew it was only appropriate to judge this place based on it's best offering. It. Was. Amazing. A perfect medium rare - nice sear on the outside, + juicy, warm, red center with a tender chew. I'm a true believer that a good piece of beef does not need any steak sauce & this was the perfect example. It was served with a small arugula salad. It provided a necessary peppery bite to stand up to the meatiness of the steak. Sides:Stuffed Hash Browns - I'm a "meat + potatoes" kind of guy & this delivered in spades. There's a reason why there are already many pictures of this dish on Yelp. The great thing is that it eats like a baked potato - sour cream, onion, chives. It's an innovative twist on a classic steakhouse side dish. Charred Broccolini - Fernanda ingeniously recommended this. The vegetable side dish is lathered in a thick parmesan caesar sauce. The saltiness of this dish complimented the strong, savory flavors of the steak. Wine: "Roman Ceremony" Cabernet Sauvignon - This full bodied glass of red stood up to the heartiness of the Porterhouse steak. Its place as our alcoholic beverage of choice helped to round out our delicious meal. Dessert(s): Burnt Cheesecake - Normally, I would opt to go to a 2nd location for desert (if I do decide to do dessert at all). But my friend wanted to try a dessert here so we chose this . The texture was velvety smooth with the charred top providing a welcome smokiness. It was accompanied with candied meyer lemon - which added a nice, non-overpowering sweet & floral note.Straus Organic Vanilla Soft Serve - Get. This. Desert.Fernanda also recommended this. I would come back here just for this. This is a desert for people who do not like desert. It is not overly sweet - which I definitely appreciated. The chocolate pearls are reminiscent of the crunch from a Ferrero Rocher without the hazelnut flavor. The Amarena Cherries & sauce will win over anyone who is not a fan of cherries. Quite simply, it is a nice & elegant take on the Ben & Jerry's "Cherry Garcia" Ice Cream. Overall, this is not your father's steakhouse & that is a very good thing:- No need to come here just for special occasions (graduations, promotions, etc.)- Food is definitely on par with that of your typical steakhouse.- no need to spend 5+ hours having the restaurant make a spectacle of your dining experience with white linen tablecloths & waiters dressed in suits. (Their Dress Code is business casual)- By the time we left for out movie (7:30pm), this place was bustling. It's a great place for any social gathering - be it a date, a casual meeting with friends, or a gathering for groups. This is THE PLACE that you want to be at & the kind of place that you would not expect from The Grove.Special shout out to Fernanda T. for being one of the warmest & chill servers that I have ever had. She's as real & as hospitalitable as it gets & that is very appreciated. Raphael (her runner) was super considerate to take a bunch of photos for me & my friend. The General Manager, himself - Darryl - came to our table to check on us. We had a lovely chat about how great our dining experience was. I'm a big believer that a restaurant's staff is only as good as their leader allows them to be. Darryl is the empathetic leader who treats his staff like his equals & trains them to be themselves. You can tell that everyone on the team loves their job & their work environment. Kudos to a very well-run ship with a happy crew - their passion rubs off on the warm, lively, & classy vibes. I will definitely be coming back soon. If you haven't checked this place out yet, what are you waiting for?(I also recommend booking a reservation for good measure because I wouldn't be surprised if this place grows in popularity)."

MXO by Wes Avila

★★★★☆ 4.2 (93)

"I enjoyed the food and ambience at MXO. The indoor outdoor vibe is nice but it is noisy on La Cienega so there were ambulances and motorcycles. The food was delicious but it did take a while to come out. They were kind enough to provide a free libation to make up for the wait. I enjoyed the MXO Negroni. The steak was delicious. The lobster ceviche was delicious. The cabbage Caesar was unique and yummy; i was pleasantly surprised by it. I also had the Halibut which was really flavorful and hot. I loved that the food was hot. Sometimes restaurants serve warm food but this was fresh off the stove. Valet was convenient and easy."

Caruso's Italian Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.5 (346) • $$

"Seriously, the best pizza I've ever had! I had some friends from out of the country, eat it and they told me it was the best pizza they've ever had as well."

Antojitos Cocina Mexicana

★★★☆☆ 3.3 • $$

"Stopped by for lunch while visiting Universal Studios Hollywood. Ordered the quesabirria tacos and rojas enchiladas. Both dishes were very good and flavorful. Service was great. Our server was super friendly and attentive. We got to sit in one of the "birdcage" table which was pretty cool. Really like all the decor and vibe from this restaurant. It has now become one of our favorite restaurants to dine at Universal Citywalk. Good food, great service, and nice atmosphere. Can't beat that!"

JOEY Woodland Hills

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$$

"Yum! My first time here and I'll definitely be back. Started off with the truffle Parmesan fries and a tuna sushi cone. For mains, we got the sea bass and salmon-- both were so delicious! The spicy passionfruit margarita and old fashion were good too. Service was great. They serve a glass of complimentary sparkling wine while you wait/just before you are escorted to your table. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The restaurant is very clean and the lighting makes for a more cozy feel."

Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 4.2 • $$$$

"We came to Fogo to celebrate a friend's birthday. Of course, this place did not disappoint! We enjoyed a variety of meats, notably the ribeye was so good! Service was enjoyable, our drinks were always filled and we didn't wait too long for anything that we requested. The cheese bread came out piping hot and delicious! One of the things that we come here for. If you want to celebrate an occasion, you won't go wrong with this place. Parking is $15 with valet. No need to worry about street parking."

The Red Fish

★★★★★ 5 (9)

"Heard about a new spot opening in West Hollywood and wanted to have a date night with my wife so we decided to try it out. We were told it was their opening week so we had the entire restaurant to ourselves. What a beautiful restaurant! The staff were so kind, welcoming, and super attentive. We absolutely loved the ambiance and decor inside. We ordered the New York Strip, Brussel Sprout Crisps, Chilean sea bass, and a wonderful coffee martini(I forget the actual name). The chef brought us out some dishes on the house including an arugula salad and different types of sushi! The food was amazing! The dish that stuck out the most was the sea bass. Honestly it's the best fish dish I've ever had. Just wanted to say thank you to everybody for making our date night so memorable. We will definitely be returning in the near future! Thank you again."

Violet Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.4 (306) • $$$

"First time visiting and really enjoyed the ambience of this place. At the time we arrived they let us know that they had a private event at 7:15(arrived around 5:50ish). The workers never rushed us and i think it reflects at how well they manage their times with the tables. Our group decided to do drinks and small bites and when we were nearing the time they made sure to give us enough time for desserts. I got the violet sundae with vanilla and it was super good!The toppings on the oysters were so delicious as well. I also recommend trying their fries and baguettes.Really enjoyed my expierence here!"

Damon's Steak House

★★★★☆ 3.8 • $$$

"A restaurant like an old friend. Steak is still delicious. Papaya salad is not special. I still love this place."

LA Prime

★★★★☆ 3.9 • $$$$

"I have to say the view was the best thing about this place. The size of the steak and lobster was bigger than other steak houses and the service was attentive but other than that it was very average to me.. nothing that would bring me back or recommend to others unfortunately."
