My husband and two little ones visited last week during happy hour because we'd always wanted to try their wagyu burger, but it was such a huge disappointment. We also rarely go out with kids so I thought it was going to be a nice time, but even the service was a disappointment.We've been here a few times for dinner before, but for some reason, the food during happy hour was dry and bland. We ordered the wagyu burger medium, but it came out well-done and was really dry. The buns were falling apart, and everything was just dry and disappointing. Honestly, you could get a better burger elsewhere, try Roam. The tater tots were good, the Korean chicken wings had no heat to them at all, and the oysters were fine, but nothing special. In terms of customer service, our server was not great. She just gave off a bad mood. She never came around to ask us how we were doing or how the food was. Maybe she doesn't like working happy hour. Who knows?Overall, I wouldn't recommend coming here for happy hour unless you're just looking for drinks. The food didn't live up to the hype.

A friend has been to telling us about a great Happy Hour at LB Steak and that we need to meet up to try it out. We made it happen on a recent Friday. We arrived at 4:05 and were sat at one of the bar tables. The happy hour is from 4-6pm and is for seating at the bar and the tables in the lounge area. The area was pretty much full already. There's a TV on the bar wall that was on a sports channel.The menu consists of six Bites items, wine (sparking, red, white and rose), rotating beer selection, two mock tails, and four cocktails. I got a beer, and we shared the loaded tater tots and each got the Wagyu burger.The loaded tater tots were topped with bacon bits, chives, and a four cheese béchamel. Good size bowl of tots. The Wagyu burger came with lettuce and tomato with cheese add-ons at $1 and fries and dill pickle wedge. The burger was good with toasted buns, but felt the patty could have been thicker. Our waitress was friendly and food came out in a relatively quick. A good happy hour at City Center San Ramon.

A Disappointing Experience.Let's start with the ambiance. It has the classic steakhouse feel--dark, cozy, and reminiscent of a 60-year-old's man cave (not meant as an insult). The decor is nice, and the restaurant is clean. However, it's located in a mall, which means you'll encounter all types of guests. We came for date night on Valentine's Day and were surprised by how many people were dressed very casually. If you're looking for an upscale dining experience where the atmosphere matches the occasion, this isn't the place.Moving on to service. Our server was polite but seemed disengaged--not very attentive and only checked in on our food once. She didn't offer refills after we finished our bottle of sparkling water and never asked if I wanted another drink or a glass of wine with our steak. When you're paying a premium, service should be exceptional, and this fell short.Now, the food. The biggest disappointment was spending over $500 and not having a single dish that stood out or made us want to return. The grilled octopus was overcooked--there's a fine line between a good chew and being rubbery, and this crossed it. The ribeye was underwhelming; we've made better at home. The wagyu, which should have been buttery and tender, required far too much chewing. Wagyu should melt in your mouth! To make matters worse, we were served an inedible end piece (see pic), yet still charged an extra $30 for that ounce. It shouldn't have been on the plate. The highlights were the bone marrow and fritto misto, but that's not enough to justify the price.To top it off, when I asked our server to pack up our leftovers (bread basket, truffle fries, and steak), the bread was left out. It felt like she was half paying attention all night.This place charges fine-dining prices without delivering a fine-dining experience. If they're going to price their menu that way, everything--service, food, and ambiance--needs to be top-tier. Maybe my expectations were high, but at this price point, there shouldn't be so many disappointments.We won't be returning and wouldn't recommend it. There are plenty of better steakhouses in the Bay Area.

Went here for my 50th birthday! It was amazing! We ordered Australian Waygu and ribeye with the Mac and cheese, mushrooms and Ceasar salad! For dessert, the chocolate lava cake! The ambiance was chill and mellow and our waiter was the nicest!

New to the area, I was referred to this place based on a local Yelp Event! I'm glad I came and tried it out. The ambiance was swanky, roomy, and have a beautiful outdoor fire pit to relax. I sat at the bar area, that had the perfect height and space for a good dinner. Every person I talked to was polite and took the time to answer any of my curiosities, even in passing to find out how the heck they put that steer design on their ice cubes, haha. My NY Strip steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and I found myself quite satisfied with just that for the meal. My Vanilla Bean Old Fashioned was also easy to sip on between each savory bite. I can't help but appreciate the attention to detail they put into their dish as well as their cocktails to give them LB's personality.I will definitely be back to try more items, and to find out what LB actually stands for!

After attending an event, I decided since I was already in town, I should just stick around for dinner! I grabbed a seat at the bar and as I was trying to figure out how big or small my eyes would be in comparison to the actual space in my tummy, I asked the bartender, Enrique, for his recommendations between a few items.I started off with the roasted beet salad, which was good- but nothing unique of course- so I had to get out of my comfort zone. I'm SLOWLY working my way into red meats that have a little more "moo" (yes... I used to prefer the tough as leather!) :-D So tonight I asked Enrique, between the carpaccio and tartare, as to which he would recommend. He did NOT steer me wrong. For the girl that refuses raw meat and hates capers... that steak tartare was quite easily one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. There was so much flavor packed into the tartare, and perfectly topped with the quail egg. I'm already planning my next trip back with some of my girlfriends. I also enjoyed my cocktail, Heat of the Moment.While I know I'd like to go back and explore more of the menu, I already know future me... I'd be ordering that tartare again! Thank you for the perfect recommendation Enrique!

Agreed with son that the tomahawk steak was the best, and finally got a chance to try it out.It is really yuuuge, 48 ounces, lightly flavored, and very good steak. Wasn't so impressed with the boneless rib eye and scallops. The meshed potatoes were likely the best I have ever had, but son didn't confirm and I am not really a fan of meshed potatoes. The Mac and cheese sucked though, way too much garlic and son said the over the top butter gave him dietary reactions (he is slightly lactose intolerant though seldom has that problem since he was infant).The sauce for the steak could be better, the salt choices were way too thick.

I made a reservation for a party of five for my fiancé's birthday on a Monday night at 4:15 PM. We were a bit late but we called ahead of time and we are told that they do hold reservations up to 15 minutes past your reservation time.The restaurant was nice and big and can accommodate small to very large parties with long tables in the back of the restaurant along with a well lit room towards the corner. I ordered the Get Away for my drink and we shared a couple Caesar salads and calamari. They do not offer complementary bread, but they do offer it with a charge of $6. My drink was very refreshing and was a good starter drink to my meal to come. I ordered the boneless ribeye cooked medium rare with a side of onion rings and my fiancé ordered the hokaido a5 wagyu (4oz). My ribeye was extremely tender and had a good amount of fat and was cooked perfectly without having it bleed too much around the steak. My entrée also came with some peppers and onions on the side that went very well with each bite. The onion rings were light, not too oily and came with a blue cheese dipping sauce, which I thought was interesting but tasted delicious. My fiancé ordered her steak well done, and it was surprisingly still very flavorful and tender. You can still see part of the marbling despite it being well done. I didn't catch our server name, but he was nice- not very attentive however, but there were other servers around to get us the additional items we needed from time to time. Pricing for their entrées were fair in my opinion and we were charged a 4% gratuity fee for our party at five. The steakhouse is located in the front of the shopping area, so there was a good amount of parking in the front.Overall, I give my experience a 3.8/5.

Came to celebrate our anniversary. They gave us a card. We came on a Sunday so the bottle of wine we chose was half off. Ordered steak tartare and pork belly for appetizers. I got the branzino and my fiance got the New York strip Oscar style. The branzino was yummy but a bit on the salty side. My fiance said the steak didn't have the best flavor. We got the lobster and pork belly mac and cheese and the spinach as sides. We had the bread pudding for dessert. They also brought us a chocolate cake for our anniversary. Overall a delicious meal. Nice restaurant and area.
