Great place to bring your love ones to have great steaks and other equally great food. The atmosphere is excellent for any types of occasions. The food selections are many and unique. We especially enjoyed the Tomahawk steak, and their side dishes. The staff are friendly and professional. Free public parking is within minutes of walkingdistance. This will be one of our family's favorite restaurant.

What a pleasant experience. The proteins served here are excellent. Definitely of high quality. The first bites of my tomahawk steak, and garlic, put a smile on my face. Really enjoyed the food, and the service. The atmosphere was nice and private too. NOTE: A lot of the reviews folks have left claim prices are affordable. Please know prices are on the high side compared to the average dining. Just because those individuals, and myself, can afford the meals, doesn't mean its cheap and affordable for everyone.

Pleasant atmosphere. Food was really good. Onion rings melted in your mouth. The spinach, apple slice salad was delicious. The brussel sprouts were ok. The tacos were so delicious 😋 Back for more 2/19/22. I guess the brussel sprouts are a hit or miss because today they were the bomb. Broccolini was delicious. Ribeye had really good flavor and our waiter David was amazing super nice guy and very attentive.

The food is exquisite. The service is impeccable and the ambiance is blissful. I ordered the 10 Oz sirloin steak, mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. My daughter ordered the 1/2 oz jidori chicken and mashed potatoes. Malbec wine with my steak and NY Cheesecake for dessert. I highly recommend this steakhouse. We celebrated my birthday.

I am a huge fan of this place and the service was great however the prices are just a little bit too high it's somewhat comparable to Beverly Hills but Anyways you get what I'm saying the food is great if it's local and convenient or whatever then you should try it because it is worth it.

This place was hopping the night we went out, they were having a private party in the back but their main dinning and bar area was open for dinner. Food was amazing, and so were the drinks. One of the best filets I had. The drinks were phenomenal as well. The ambience could be a little better (kind of bright and yes the prices are a little high, but the food and drinks are worth).

The service staff was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu items. The food was delicious and the chef even came out to thank us for dining in the restaurant. Amazing celebration or date night choice but will be great for any occasion as well.

I just had an incredible rib eye. This place never disappoints. Best crab cakes I ever had. This is always a fun place. I have seen Meta World Peace, Puig and Oscar Delahoya eat here. You never know who you'll find. Great service and classy atmosphere. I ate outdoors and ate like a king. I've even had the Nixon burger which was juicy and tasty.

Another night, another GREAT night! This time was date night with my wife and pre Valentine's Day dinner celebration. Service was great, walked in at 530pm and restaurant t was half filled, all of the food was amazing! The max n cheese was aright, all the entrees was superb, tasty, flavorful, better than expected! My wife had an amazing time. The mango margarita was the best drink of the night, we had 3 of those each. Wow! So yummy with the tajin rim and tamarind piece in the drink, strong drink but super tasty. Didn't disappoint, will come back for more future celebrations. Thank you again for another great dinner.

Came here for appetizers and cocktails for the company holiday get together and was not disappointed. Even though they were short a full time bartender, still received excellent service from the waitress. I tried the deviled eggs, crab cakes, bacon, and spicy meatballs. It was all good. The deviled eggs were most likely my favorite. The chocolate cheesecake was delicious! Yes, I ate the entire thing. Devoured in 10-15 minutes. The restaurant looks like any building from the outside, but is nice inside. There's plenty of parking in the area. Free, street and/or lot parking.

It's called a steakhouse for a reason but since my husband was getting steak.. I wanted to try their salmon and shrimp. The shrimp was good but the salmon was on the dryer side. The ribeye was really good though. Def need to add the pepper finish to the steak. The cap of the ribeye was made to perfection, especially with the pepper finish. Oh, the bacon was so good too. Candied bacon great selection of cocktail. I thought it would be a very fancy spot but I saw a few people dressed rather casually. The ambiance is a little dark or lightly dimmed so it does give a semi romantic setting. I also must add.. women's restroom.. single stall. Be sure to look up when you are done using the restroom. It was a nice surprise

Let's cut to the chase.. Service- 5/5. Excellent. Our server was really attentive and provided recommendations that were enjoyed such as the hanging bacon. Food: Filet mignon- 3/5. This is def. not a steakhouse with premium cuts of meat. Filet mignon was okay. It was slightly undercooked to more of a medium rare (asked for medium) but couldn't taste the quality. Brussel sprouts- 5/5. They're excellent. Eat your dang veggies y'all. Caesar salad- 5/5. They got this salad down all the way from the croutons to the dressing. They know their salad. Drinks- They can only do well drinks or 2 ingredient drinks before 5 pm. Kind of a bummer here since I personally enjoy a good cocktail with a meal. Ambiance- Nicely decorated. Small but perfectly spaced seating so you're not getting on anybody's nerves. Overall more of a 3.5 for me. Steak is decent so you're getting an okay steak but kudos to them for great sides.

This place either is permanently closed or remodeling per a recent visit of mine. Why doesn't it specify this in their website or phone message when you call? Very bad business practice to pretend to be open.

We came on a Saturday night to celebrate my birthday. It was eerily empty which isn't usually a good sign. We were sat and first thing we noticed was the wall next to us was full of dirt, scrapes, and dings. We then got presented with the menu, which was about half of what is on the website. Our server came to let us know about all of the items they did not have which was quite a lot. My husband is pescatarian and he was left with one option only, the salmon, since everything else was not available. Our server asked if we were celebrating anything and we said my birthday. She ended up going home (at that point we were the only people there) and a new server took over. Food we ordered: Truffle onion rings- great batter but no truffle flavor at all Parmesan fries- hardly any parm, average fries Ribeye steak- a bit tough, cooked under but I preferred that instead of overcooked. Seasoning was good but quality was nothing special -Salmon- good flavor, great cook - Side of mushrooms- average -chocolate cake- tasted like a typical frozen chocolate cake. We thought we would get a complimentary dessert for the birthday but we didn't. No big deal but zero acknowledgment of the celebration -martini- this was delicious and fresh Overall, not worth a $200+ bill. I wouldn't return

Customer service is great. Food is very delicious. Food is very pricey Place is nice inside. Used the restroom and walked by a dance floor.

We were thrilled to dine at this restaurant to celebrate my brother-in-law's engagement. My wife and I were honored to be the maid of honor and best man. Unfortunately, our evening was interrupted by a small creature that crawled down the wall. Though we tried to ignore it, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law noticed it as well. We informed the waitress, who confirmed the presence of the insect. She attempted to brush it off as a result of open windows, but there were none in the area. We were disappointed as we had been looking forward to returning to the restaurant, but the incident left a negative impression. (Roach)

Why is this place so unprofessional! I have been trying to make reservations for a week and no answer. I have left voicemail and call at different times. No one has gotten back to me again I've tired for an entire week. -5 stars if this is the service I will be getting

I didn't realize when I made reservations here that it was one of those places where parking is out of the way. We still would have tried it.. but that went against the restaurant's overall rating. If we have to park out of the way, your food needs to be pretty good. The place was pretty empty for a Saturday i no ugh t (our reservations are always Saturday @ 7:30pm. There were maybe 3 other parties there, which was weird. The service was good, I think that was the best part of the meal. Our waitress was very nice (but it I didn't get her name) and the drinks were good. When it came to the food, I'd say it was mediocre. Almost like a Claim Jumper, but more expensive. If you're in the area, try it out... but don't make a 20+ minute drive for it. If you're looking for a good place in Whittier for a nice ambiance and delicious food (steakhouse) try Dal Rae. Side note, this place seems like it was a night club. I don't know what was in the men's room.. but the ladies room had Ryan Gosling on the ceiling lol

What can I say???? Really enjoyed and love this steak house. The drinks are the best I have had. The mango margarita is my fav, nice environment super chic, friendly staff.

Fiance took me on a fine dinner date for my birthd. Their food and service are definitely 5s but there were a lot of items in the menu that were not available... Like the pork chop that I was actually looking forward to all day, jumbo shrimp, oysters, and Brussels sprouts.. all items on my list were not available. The menu could've been updated. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our experience there.. Their crab cake was the best I've ever had! It's real chunky crab meat topped with pickled veggies. The steaks were actually perfect, topped with a free slice of yummy chocolate cake to celebrate, on the house.. Jumbo Lump Crab Cake 9/10 Ribeye - Med Rare 8/10 New York - Med Rare 8/10 Grilled Asparagus 6/10 Parmesan Fries 7/10 Chocolate Cake 9/10 Mango Margarita 8/10 Mango a go go 8/10

Baked Salmon was delicious; it had a hint of garlic was absolutely one of the best I've had in awhile. I didn't give them 5 stars, the lights were too bright, and empty both with people and tables, looks like they removed some compared to what previous owners had. Beverages were delicious too.

Food was decent. But the environment was definitely not like your typical "steak house". My husband and I shared the tomahawk. $140? We shared one crab cake $22. Caesar salad $14. Sides were a la carte. We got Potato gratin and yam, each about $15? Pricing was typical steak house pricing. Not cheap. The food was all typical and okay. Nothing I thought was amazing. Tomahawk could be softer and more flavorful. If I didn't add the roasted garlic, I would think it's too bland. My main thing was the atmosphere. It was so loud. More like a pub, bj's, tgif, or something along those lines. Rock/pop music was blasting. Definitely not a romantic steak house feel, if that's what you're hoping for. I could barely hear my husband sitting across our small table. Because it was loud, everyone had to talk louder. Heard everyone's conversations. Just not my vibe when I want a nice steak place. But if that's more your speed, this might be worth trying for you. Parking was a bit of a pain. I don't think there was valet, but I'm not 100% sure. I didn't see it. We parked at a lot across the street and it was a fight. We were lucky enough to find one to squeeze into. Might have few parking spots along the streets as well. Overall, I say 3.5 stars. Would I come back? Probably not.

Great steakhouse in Whittier! The Nixon offers a wide selection of steaks, as well as a variety of seafood, chops, and poultry dishes. We started off with some appetizers. My favorite appetizer of the night was their Jumbo "Lump" Crab Cake--all crab and no filler! It was also topped with some really tasty pickled vegetables for some added crunch. Their Sea Scallops were also a winner! They were super tender, and I really enjoyed the brown butter parsnips and black truffle sauce it was in. If you're looking for something fresh, get the Marinated Kampachi Tuna. It comes with a really fun puffed rice "firecracker" that you can break apart and eat with the tuna! Their steaks include Dry Aged Prime, Classic Cuts, and Wagyu. Decided to go big and got the Nixon Tomahawk...wow, this thing was huge! Definitely the biggest steak I've ever had! It comes bone-in with a lot of delicious meat! I opted fo the chimichurri sauce, which was really tasty. I love that you also have the option to "Top It Off" by adding a bit of something extra to customize your meal. Mine was topped with Mexican White Jumbo Shrimp, and it was the perfect combo of surf and turf. I also recommend getting the Roasted Garlic! It comes as whole cloves that are roasted to a nice, soft consistently that goes great with the steak! Other items on this portion of the menu include Maine Lobster Tail, Diver Scallops, Jumbo "Lump" Crab, Truffles, and more. Sides are a must! I enjoyed the Andoille Mac N' Cheese (with added crab for even more deliciousness). Potato Gratin was also good, and the Fried Brussels Sprouts are great for keeping things balanced. All the sides come in cute mini cast irons, so they stay warm throughout your meal. Whatever you do, don't skip dessert! I was stuffed by the end of the meal, but I went for dessert anyways and have no regrets! Their Asian Pear Tart is incredible! The pastry was nice and flakey, and the caramel sauce paired so nicely with the Asian Pears. Topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, what could be better?! Staff are very attentive, warm, and friendly! Definitely the perfect spot for a family meal or date night!

They didn't have enough chicken and we got there for an early dinner reservation. They said they were out. I saw that in the past reviews at thought ok maybe they ran out but to me this is set up to make you buy the steak. Food was nothing to rave home about and staff could have hustled more. I think they only came to thr table twice to take our order abs to give the bill. Someone else brought the food. Shameful and disappointing. The only great thing about this day was spending time with my Father n Law and Mother N Law.

Always a pleasant surprise dining at the Nixon. The vibe is very Manhattan cocktail lounge. Be aware of the menu changes but the staples stay the same. Last time I dined there I had the smoked deviled eggs, oysters, pork belly bites, and a delicious fillet mignon. Perfect for date night!

By far this place is the WORST "steakhouse " I've ever been to. We arrived around 3:40pm and the waitress was suggesting and hyping up the appetizers and after she described how "delicious" they are she tells us.. "well, you can't order them because we don't have them" What's the point on even telling us about them? Then she brings us the drink menu and asks us what cocktails we would like And as we're looking at the menu she then tells us "the bartender won't get here until 5pm" so we would have to wait an hour to order a drink.. At this point we're ready to leave this lame restaurant. We didn't leave because we had already placed an order for 4 dishes. We received old gray looking meat Brussel sprouts that had no flavor Chicken that had a nice crust to it but made me throw up in their restroom shortly after. & the only dish that was actually good was the crab cake. I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO ANYONE.

Have called several times and no answer. Have left messages, no call back. Phone message says to make a reservation on Yelp, can't make a reservation. Tried the restaurant website, no feature to make a reservation. Guess I won't be eating here.

We chose The Nixon for my birthday celebration restaurant in early February. We were both craving a good steak & Id never eaten here before. I had a good first impression walking in, no wait & we were greeted promptly. The restaurant was decorated for Valentine's Day & the ambiance is very romantic and calm. Now, ordering our food. We were sat in what looked like an extended seating area and it was pretty cold. Also, this couple next to us was breaking up and we heard alll the tea. But ok back to the service- Side note: Waitress dress code- ever heard? Thigh high stockings aren't the norm in a steak house. She was kind, but seemed inexperienced. The food takes a while to come out, but that's ok. Cooking the steak correctly shouldn't be rushed. My boyfriend however did send back his Old Fashioned (tasted like someone was way heavy handed with the bitters) only to dislike the replacement just the same. I was pleased that they made me a pregnant mama mocktail- this was delicious. I will say the steaks were delicious and mouthwatering. Not sure Id go back to pay for just the steak though, since we weren't overly thrilled with the rest of what I'd describe as a pretty average dining experience. *Look out for Ryan Gosling though!

It's closed . Called many times and did not have any voice set up to inform patrons. Tried going there in person and there was a sign that it's closed for construction.

This review kills me to write but the yelping must continue.... Unfortunately this restaurant isn't the same after the new ownership . The food is now mediocre at best . It's so disappointing because this used to be my favorite restaurant of all time . Please change back to the old recipes and hospitality.

This is a classic spot in Whittier and one that has some really good history. I really like date night in the bar area and have always received such kind service. The food quality has changed a bit. For the prices they charge, you want a perfectly cooked steak and perfectly cooked sides to accompany your steak. I think they need to improve upon the dining seating and maybe expand some of the menu so that it can keep up with the money you're paying. More selections and quality cooking would just bring this place back to its original luster. If you haven't been, you need to go. It's the Nixon Steakhouse, after all......It's Whittier =) I'll be back, as I'm hoping they will allow for me to improve upon my review and I would really love to be able to count on a nicely cooked steak at an old time favorite again.

Will never go back to this restaurant. Our server was soo out of it, felt like she didn't wanna take care of our table.. birthday person was charged for the desert when all restaurants i have been to usually the birthday dessert is complimentary. Only good thing was the wine. Ooooh also no cocktails were available as they didn't have a bar tender on shift. Just a wasted dinner night that was meant for be fun filled with drinking and delicious food.

We had a wonderful experience at Nixon Steakhouse. Party of 6. Reservation via Yelp, we were very well greeted by the host, and got seated right away with no fuss. I can't remember our server's name, however she was amazingly helpful with providing details of the menu. We all ordered the Caesar Salad to start and I've got to say it's the best Caesar Salad I've ever had. I ordered the Petite Filet Mignon, others ordered the Tomahawk, everything was tender and juicy. No complaints whatsoever! We also ordered a bunch of sides and let me tell you whatever those Brussel Sprouts were seasoned with, a total game changer! Between the service, lighting, and the delicious food I'd definitely give it a 10 star if I could. Located in the downtown district, we found plenty of public parking across the street, and if you're lucky you'll find street parking. It's a perfect place for a nice celebration, date night, or family dinner like what we had. Enjoy!

Very nice and tidy place. The service was great! And the food was even better. The ambiance, the laughs and the games there are so fun, I'm saying this because I go with friends and family and the games like the pinball machines are so cool! They have different food and deserts and they even have a little shop. This place have given me so much to laugh about. And if you wanna play there bring some. They have heaters outside and they have bands playing outside sometimes. I would say it's very comfy in my opinion.

The place was pretty empty a few people sat at the bar for drinks the menu didn't have many options the chicken was very greasy a dab of mash potatoes and 4 small pieces 1/2 green beans with your meal . Not impressed at all. Not to mention very overpriced.

This restaurant checks out a lot of firsts for me -First time dining at uptown Whittier. -First time ever trying Wagyu. -First time ever trying a Mousse cake that looked so beautiful! So, I was on a good steakhouse quest recently and happened to stumble on to Nixon on Yelp. They are open during lunch time. This is always a plus! I parked at a nearby Plaza, sat at the bar and was taken care of by Josue. I ordered the following: Petite Filet Mignon $39.00 Japanese A5 Wagyu $128.00 Scallops $23.00 Crown Royale and Ginger Ale $11.00. Chocolate Mousse cake $10.00 It is my first time trying Wagyu. It did not disappoint. The restaurant typically only has Wagyu for dinner. Since I requested it, Josue checked with the kitchen and was able to score a 4 Oz for me. Yessss! The cut of meat had the most fat in it that made for melt in your mouth bites of goodness The Chocolate Mousse cake was phenomenal! I think bite by bite it was one of the best desserts I have ever had. Super scrumptious! Filet Mignon was good. Nothing special compared to other restaurants. It was prepared how I requested it to be. Chef appeared to have put good care into it. Scallops portion was too small. Quality was good, but you would be disappointed if you think you are getting a good appetizer. *Laughs* Will I be back? Yes, for the Wagyu, Mousse cake, and service! You should check it too!

Oh man, I was pleasantly surprised by this steakhouse. I came here two weeks ago with my best friend. Our server was Sean, and he was so nice to us. Shoutout to Sean for being cool about me streaming with my friend while eating! That crab cake man, they got me. My friend and I ordered the lump crab cake for our appetizer. We ordered the Tomahawk steak to share for our entree. With a side of the Brussel sprouts and Mac and cheese. I ordered the spicy passion fruit drink, which was delicious, seriously good. I'm still dreaming of that crab cake. If I go back I will definitely reorder that. The steak was amazing. We ordered it cooked to medium temp and it was perfect. I loved the Brussel sprouts not gonna lie, it was one of my favorites. The whole damn meal was my favorite. I want to bring my fiancé here. I've been to steak houses, I love steak. Some places have disappointed me, Flemings in Pasadena for one. But the Nixon, hands down, impressed me. There's only a few places I crave and want to go back to, this place is one of them. Looking at their menu, I want to try even more now. Parking is wild. We parked in the structure down the street and had to park all the way at the top, but I don't remember having to pay anything, so that was cool. The walk to the restaurant was short and sweet. My friend made reservations which was great, it was busy. It is a small place on the corner of Philadelphia st in Whittier. Seating was very close to other diners but overall the atmosphere when we went was wonderful.

We arrived as soon as they opened at 5pm, for our 20th Wedding Anniversary on 4/20/2022....we ordered a steak, a pork chop, mac&cheese with andouille sausage!, a salad and truffle onion rings....EVERYTHING! was Fantastic ! This place is very clean throughout. Thank you Nixon and their wonderful staff..

I STRONGLY recommend this restaurant! It had the best steak I have ever tasted. Exploding with flavor with a perfect amount of crust, seasoning, and juiciness, the filet mignon was a very smart choice. I was shocked to see that it was not as packed because the food was nothing short of incredible.

Connie G.

We made reservations for a nice New Years dinner and saw the prices in advance. We had an expectation of quality and did not experience more than a casual hostess and extremely fatty "miniature" Tomahawk and extra small Niman Ranch Pork Chop! Not a shareable size like we do at the Chop house or other restaurants. Full size price for half the quality. Felt like we wasted $660, lesson learned, definitely not coming back and making reservations far ahead in advance at another restaurant.

We had a family get together that was arranged for 2:00 on a Saturday afternoon. There is a metered parking lot across the street on Whittier Blvd, which is convenient. We were pleasantly greeted and seated at a comfortable table. Alas there is no lunch menu on Saturday and Sunday. The prices are high like most specialty steak houses. We ordered one appetizer. Everyone had a glass of wine, cocktail and/or a iced tea. The steaks were delicious, the salmon was good. We enjoyed the sides, Brussel sprouts, Gorgonzola Au Gratin Potato,, Brocollini and Garlic bread. We all had coffee, and desserts. Expensive and tasty. The service was attentive. Will go back to enjoy the lunch menu.

We had a wedding reception dinner here and it was perfect. I would absolutely come back for another event, moderately priced and you get your own area and waiting team. Everyone was kind and attentive, dinner was great, outside covered patio was nice, we got to see the thunderstorm that night. I would absolutely recommend the Nixon and their food was pretty darn good, as well as their drinks. Thank you Nixon Steakhouse for making booking a breeze and just providing an amazing experience for me and my family!

This was my first time here and wow I'm honestly impressed. Probably the best steakhouse in Whittier no doubt about it. Service is 10/10. The steak and lobster taste absolutely amazing, so much flavor! And the cocktails are made to perfection. I'm definitely coming back, I had an amazing time

The ambiance is nice very romantic and most of the food was delicious but the steak was not properly cooked and we had to send it back and they cooked a little bit more but was not evenly cooked. Sad to say the place is over priced for the food.

First time here. The food was great and our service was as well. Came in late afternoon Sunday for a birthday dinner. Ribeye was cooked perfectly. The fig salad was amazing. My favorite drink was the hibiscus martini! We also had the pear tart for dessert!!! Everything was great!

We happened on this place by accident, 4 of us. Expensive but worth it! We've been to quite few great steakhouses and by far this one is our favorite as of late; we definitely will return. We're from Riverside and my sisters are locals who joined us, we were all happy with our choices. We started off with their crab cakes, pricey but so much lump crab it was worth it and so darn delicious! One sister chose the Japanese 5A Wagyu 4oz steak, oh my goodness; tender, juicy, melt in your mouth delectable! My other sister chose the Divers Scallops, large, sweet cooked just right and not salty; worthy! My husband ordered the ribeye medium; phenomenal! A well seasoned crust, juicy, tender; minimal amount of fat. I ordered the half rack of lamb, wow! 2 very good sized lamb shanks, so delicious! We shared the baked potato, mushrooms, Brussel Sprouts and scallop cheesy potatoes (My fave.) Service was wonderful. Mojito was strong but worth it. Last of all, the chocolate mousse is A Must! Creamy, light, silky chocolate, so satisfying! Thank you!!!

Food is amazing and the staff is great! Love the salmon plate. This place is great for a date night! Can't wait to return!

We got there and every other sentence was "we are out of this" or "we are out of that". Order a couple of sides as appetizers and one round of drinks and we were out. Place has changed . We made a reservation and the place was nearly empty... hhmm I wonder why? Plus there is a $10 charge per person if you cancel. It used to be packed and better quality but standards have dropped.. Glad we didn't stick around. Headed nearby for better food and atmosphere.

I like the fact we can make a reservation. Lobster Mac and cheese was yummy and the steaks are better well seasoned.
