    Third time here, probably last. Restaurant was pretty empty although there was an event upstairs. Reservations were at 6:30pm and we did not receive our dinner until 8pm. We were starving. My steak was overly seasoned and super well done, but I was so hungry I forced myself to eat it. My husbands tour of beef was also overly seasoned. One steak was overcooked, one was undercooked. Broccolini, Mushroom, and Mash sides were OK. Best part of dinner was the bread appetizer. Service was good, but overshadowed by the mediocre steaks.

    Very noisy -- acoustics could be improved. Also quite dark and the lighted menus are too bright.

    The additional sauces, such as wasabi and chimichurri, are actually enough to share among 3–4 people. However, the waiter told us the portions were very small and intended for just one person. At $12 each, they are also quite expensive. This felt misleading and overpriced for what we received at Rex Steakhouse.

    Ribeye was undercooked and fatty. Side dish was tiny. Texas toast overwhelmed the tartar. We were placed upstairs as a two top. Felt like an afterthought. Don’t sit up there inside it’s a terrible vibe. Like you’re in the kids room for thanksgiving away from the adults. Service was slow, food was timed poorly. We bussed our own table to a side table to clear dishes. The lights faded on and off. TV blaring. It was for our anniversary and so disappointed. There are too many other steakhouses with better service and food quality. I’ll take Arthur J, boa, even Porthehouse in el segundo over this place every day.
