First time here to celebrate several special occasions. Came in on a Saturday night at 5pm with a reservation and had no wait at all. Vanessa M was our server. I would be lying if I said that she was good, because honestly, she was the best. Every staff member we had the pleasure of being assisted by were all beyond helpful and kind. Even when my medium-MW done NY Strip came out well well done, they remade it to perfection, the manager came over to talk to us, offered 2 desserts, asked if he could get us anything else (we declined because we didn’t need anything else), and even when we thought that was beyond generous, they took off $30 off the steak. So when I saw exceptional service, I absolutely mean it. I tried to eat the well done steak with lemons and A1- which I normally eat steak alone because it should be flavorful with it’s own juices, since this was overcooked it needed backup 😆 but thankful they remade it for me! The mashed potatoes were so creamy and delicious. The bread and sundried tomato butter were so good!! The Caesar salad was probably one of the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot 😂😂 my husband loved the oysters and the sauces it came with. His blue cheese crusted NY Strip was cooked to perfect and enough for 2 servings. So flavorful!! The building itself is older, inside and out, but is nice. Just be sure to ask for a table not right outside the bathroom doors 😅 This was our first time but we will definitely be back!

Sycamore Inn – A Vintage Vibe with Delicious Bites Step into Sycamore Inn, and you’re instantly transported to a cozy, vintage hideaway. The mood here is set by the dim lighting and elegant Tiffany lamps, giving the space a nostalgic yet sophisticated charm that’s perfect for winding down after a long day. I came in for happy hour, and I’ve got to say, the steak salad was absolutely delicious—tender, flavorful, and topped with just the right mix of fresh ingredients. But what truly stole the show were the oysters. They were buttery, delicate, and packed with freshness, making them an absolute must-try. The service here is also top-notch—attentive without being overbearing, which always makes for a more relaxing experience. If you're in the mood for great food, drinks, and a place with a laid-back yet moody atmosphere, Sycamore Inn is definitely worth a visit. Whether you’re here for happy hour or a casual evening out, it’s a spot that never disappoints.

Celebrated a big milestone birthday at the Sycamore Inn! When I called to make the reservation, I asked if they could add a “Happy 60th Birthday Gary” to the marquee out front, and they did! This made for such a sweet surprise as we drove in! Friends arrived first and decorated the table with 60th balloons and the entire evening was a success! Thank you to our amazing waiter and the staff for making this memorable night !

This was our 2nd time here, and I do wish the experience this time was as good as the last time. I don't know if our waitress had too many tables or if the long wait times were specific to that night. It was an hour and a half, at the table before our food started making its way to the table. There were times when drinks were empty for over 30 minutes. It was disheartening since we spoke so highly of our last experience (Eddie was our server then), we brought our family the 2nd time. While no one at the table said it, we could see that everyone was getting anxious waiting. I'm not sure if it was just a bad night, but when you're paying for a high-end meal, I guess I expect better service.

The filet mignon and prime rib were very high quality, rivaling any fancy Westside steakhouse! Lobster Mac was delicious, lots of chunks of lobster. Creme brulee and death by chocolate were to die for, hahaha.

The food is outstanding here. Beautifully decorated with a mid-20th Century motif. The service was incredible. The staff are clearly will trained and take pride in what they do.

The food was... Between OK and good. The prime rib and fillet were cooked as ordered. The au gratin potatoes did not taste cheesy but they were creamy. The asparagus, kind of bland. The service, OK... Can't really say excellent. Ambience was nice, a little dark, but I guess that would be romantic. Overall, probably not gonna go back way too expensive.

After being turned away from the Magic Lamp for not dressing up for Prom, my group of 5 hard-working, hungry adults and our 3 babies quickly pivoted across the street to the historic Sycamore Inn. It was an ideallyic summer evening... We were seated on the wide, welcoming patio and promptly handed our menus. The sun setting beautifully behind us with a cool breeze blowing in from the west. Unfortunately, shortly after the promptness disappeared and we experienced wide fluctuations in attention and timeliness. It was several moments before our drink and appetizer order was taken. Then, several more before our appetizers arrived and several more before our drinks arrived. And no bread was offered during any of this. I hate sounding like a whining, petulant child, but let me remind you this restaurant advertises itself as a Prime Steakhouse. You know, the way Fleming's, Ruth's Chris and Mastro's do. Unfortunately, tonight it felt more like Norm's. Too bad my wallet wasn't treated that way, somehow I was still billed at Prime Steakhouse prices. Go figure.

I was greeted and sat immediately. I loved the old world steakhouse ambience. My server was a bit different, very hyper and spent a lot of time on one table, in fact he had a glass of wine with them. I found it a bit unusual for an establishment of this caliber. I had the short ribs served mashed potatoes and vegetables. This dish was excellent. I found out later it was some of my friend's favorite dish there. I highly suggest it.

My husband and I came here for one of our last date nights before our baby comes. We've been wanting to try this place because of the history and we love a steakhouse! For appetizers we did the jumbo artichoke and stuffed mushrooms, it was very filling. They also give you bread as you wish, also yummy! We both really really liked our cut of steak. They're seasoned and cooked very well. The quantity of asparagus was very generous. The Mac and cheese had a really delicious taste as well. My husband had an old fashioned and a glass of wine. He said they were both good! The service-- I was really impressed honestly. Our waters were always full, we were constantly checked on. There wasn't any rush, it was just right. I highly recommend!

What a great place to go for a happy hour. They do happy hour daily from 4:30 to 8 PM. They have an outside dining area or inside dining area and also downstairs area. The menu is packed with a huge selection from seafood to steaks to pastas drinks, appetizers, desserts They've got a little bit of everything this place looks like it's been here for a really long time Old vintage feel and look upscale on the inside. The bartenders are very good at what they do making special unique drinks. The servers are very fast, courteous and helpful all around. It's a fun eating experience great place to go with a larger group as well. We will definitely be back.

First time at the Sycamore Inn!! Lived in RC for 10 years and have always wanted to come here. Atmosphere was great. Service was fantastic (thank you Ryan) and the food was exquisite. David took the time out to tell us about the history of this fine establishment. The busboy was handsome and didn't mind us older woman flirting with him after a few drinks. It is a little pricey but honestly was worth it and hope to come back soon. Son and I shared a ribeye with the mac & cheese and asparagus and we still had left overs to take home. Even the complimentary bread & butter was out of this world! Absolutely wonderful experience. Thank you!!

We came here last year for my daughter's birthday and she enjoyed the Chilean sea bass, so we came back again this year. ...last year, I felt like it was really crowded and we came on a Saturday evening around 6pm and we sat outside and our table was slanted. And It was so rushed and not relaxing at all. We got a charcuterie board that wasn't very good. The soup wasn't very good. The pasta wasn't very good. There was no parking. It was very hectic and overall the experience was not very good, but my daughter said the Chilean Sea Bass knocked her socks off so we came back again this year. Okay so this year 2025 June 8 on a Sunday at 7pm. wayyyyy better experience- we sat inside we had these big fluffy cushy chairs that made me feel important. The linens on the tables, every staff member we dealt with was superb. My daughter's petite filet mignon was delicious. My chicken was delicious. My husband's prime rib was delicious. The bread was soft and fluffy. (We didn't even get bread last time). I don't think we had so much attention. There was lots of parking. We did come at 7 PM so I don't know if that also played a part. We also ordered as an appetizer, the calamari. Everything was delicious. Five stars all the way, we will definitely come back !!! The birthday girl had the Seabass and she was once again pleased. Highly recommend this place and Thankyou Sycamore Inn for giving my family a nice dinner to remember!

The booking manager was very polite, but the staff inside was not very organized. They kept telling us our table wasn't ready when part of our group was already seated for 15 minutes. When we asked for coffee, they didn't want to make anything other than regular/decaf sounds like out of laziness. Some waiters were nicer than others for sure. Additionally for being a steakhouse, it was odd they did not ask how we wanted our steak cooked. Great name given the trees outside and old classic style feel. Inside is dim light and was busy making it seem like a great venue. They have private rooms as well. It has a nice homey feel to it. Bread: came out very hot and was very impressive Salad: standard, enjoyable, nothing crazy Prime rib: enjoyable, supposedly their specialty, felt much better than filet mignon Filet mignon: felt slightly overcooked and the sauce wasn't my favorite Death by chocolate: flourless cake that was very dense and tasty Almond cake: overly sweet and taken out of the freezer where there were still icicles, not the best In terms of a steakhouse from the miscommunications thought service could be better. Overall would recommend coming for the prime rib and specifying how you'd want things cooked. Some food items are good some are only okay. It's decent but wouldn't be my first go to steakhouse. Service: 3/5 Food: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5

Parking: Plenty available Ambience: Lovely, old-fashioned and cozy vibes that remind you of a secluded but fancy cabin. Dim lighting coupled with dark maroon leather couches, warm tones, and a central fireplace. Great place for date night or even for business meetings as they have private rooms available. Service: Friendly, no complaints! Taste: The jumbo artichoke and mac & cheese were nice. I forgot if we ordered the ribeye or the NY strip, but I've been here another time to try the filet mignon, and I unfortunately can't say I enjoyed any of the steaks. They were all on the drier side, either didn't have much flavor or flavor was kind of meh, and the paired sauce wasn't very appetizing. Given the prices of everything, I wouldn't necessarily come back for the appetizers / entrees. Its redeeming dish is its desserts--the chocolate souffle and toasted almond cake are absolutely heavenly and worth every penny!

So disappointed in Sycamore Inn. They haven't been answering their phones. It's become very difficult to make a reservation, which they request. (It used to be "first come, first served" in the bar area, but since the pandemic they have made you have reservations in the bar area, which is the only area of the restaurant that we like.) I made a reservation through OpenTable on their website 5 days ago requesting a booth in bar area. They had confirmed my reservation by text and email. Then they call me an hour and 15 minutes before the reservation (when I'm already on my way to pick up my parents to take them to the restaurant) saying they can't seat us anywhere in the bar area. They confirm twice, then can't honor it an hour before dinner?! Are they trying to force people into the rooms they want? Are they just poorly managed that they don't check their reservation confirmations until the day of, when they were made 5 days ago and autoconfimed? Are they so busy that they don't care about how they treat customers? I don't know what you have to do to get a seat in the bar area. Despite their servers always being fantastic, their management and hosts have been subpar. This is around the 4th time we've had issues with the hosts, reservations, and seating. It's feeling self-abusive to try to go there anymore, despite how much I have loved this kitschy classic joint over the many years. I feel like I'm losing a long-time friend. It's so sad.

Every so often, my friends and I get that red booth itch and have to make our way to Sycamore Inn. For this occasion, we came to celebrate a friend's birthday. We know it will always be relaxing, we'll enjoy great service, and the food will be delicious. A rich and delicious celebratory cheesecake was brought to the table and good natured guests sang happy birthday. What a wonderful place to celebrate!

Wife's favorite place to go for prime rib steak, we made it a once a year tradition now for the last 5+ years. Rockefeller Oysters are good, drinks are strong! We always come out of there with a belly ache and a doggy bag.

Stopped in for a lite dinner, ordered the spinach and artichoke dip, it was delicious and then a bowl of French onion soup for my daughter and a bowl of minestrone soup for myself ... it was not the delicious soup I remember it appears they have changed the recipe, but it was not to my liking ... the sourdough rolls were delicious served warm, and the cocktails were very well prepared and served.

This was the first time going to Sycamore Inn with my husband and his first time ever. We came in for Happy Hour and just wanted some appetizers and drinks. The restaurant is super cute but we chose to sit on the patio where the heaters were on and we could have a nice conversation since the bar was packed. I am usually freezing and Garett was nice enough to turn the heater up to make sure we were comfortable without us even asking! Let's talk food which is why you're here. Like Blue Cheese?! Get the mushrooms! My GOODNESS! They were so good and so stuffed! The crab cakes were also ultra delicious and the hubby said they were the best he's ever had. The cheese plate was just okay. I thought they could incorporate more unique cheeses. I can say that the Espresso Martini was the best I've ever had and the Chai White Russian was such an amazing combination! Service was good! Garret who I'm not sure was our server was super attentive. The hubby wants to go for the full dinner experience next time.

What I had: - Braised boneless short rib ($46) - Blueberry safe old-fashioned (forgot the price) - Smore' old-fashioned (forgot price) How it tasted: - Wonderful dish with a delicious paired drink. Why did I give it a four? - The server who assisted us was splendid and promptly delivered everything within a timely manner. Overall a great experience despite reviews saying otherwise. Cool location that may need a revamp, but the old-school vibe is enjoyable. Verdict? - Unique place that I'd recommend trying at least once.

What a good steakhouse. My prime rib was perfectly medium rare and a huge portion. One of the things I love about a good prime rib is that each bite just melts like whip cream in your mouth. The potatoes au gratin was a delight too. I mean--for me that's the standard side with any huge beef meal. I just find it pairs perfectly. I also had a bite or three of the lobster tail on offer and that will definitely by an option for the next visit. I love the service. Raul our service pretty much kicked ass on every request, anticipating every question and concern. He even had time to tell stories and share pictures like a long-lost uncle. The night ended great, the food was great, and I now have a great opinion of this place.

After questionable customer service on previous visits, I decided to give Sycamore Inn another try ...because they are one of the only local restaurants to serve Oysters Rockefeller. Poor decision. Nonexistent customer service at the bar. Now, mind you, this was not my first visit, nor my first poor experience. I have dined in the restaurant and the service is exemplary, but that does not feed over to the lounge. I wish I could say this was a one off, but sadly, it has happened multiple times.

I have multiple quibbles with my experience at the Sycamore Inn. For starters, getting service after the food is served for refills is neigh impossible; we waited ~20 minutes to get refills on our drinks. Second, the steaks were disappointing, particularly the ribeye. We had ordered a pair of these steaks, but one of the steaks consisted more of fat than actual meat. For a place charging over $60 per steak, this seems insane. When we asked for refills, the waiter tried to hustle us (despite being halfway through the meal) by asking us if we'd like to package up our dinners. I'm actually writing this review as I sit in the restaurant now, and we are still awaiting the delivery of our refills. Will they arrive? Probably not. Once we get the check (and who knows how long that'll be), we will be leaving with no intention of returning. Update: They finally brought refills... with the wrong drinks. Food was ice cold by then. Awaiting the check, but that hasn't arrived, either.

Update from last review . Per Louis , since my mom was told total $171.86 she said add 18% gratuity.So according to Louis and sycamore inn it was ok for Eddie to still charge $31 on my moms card with my mom NOT knowing we left cash of $100. Again total bill $171 , tried to get $131 tip .on $171.86 total bill. I think anyone with morals would understand that does settle well either way me

Started the night off with a cocktail from the bar. They make a proper dirty martini and a respectable happy hour price, which was a pleasant surprise. I had the peppercorn New York steak and my wife had the sea bass. My steak was over cooked, ordered medium rare, definitely on the medium side. Thought about sending back but I just ate it. The peppercorn was a little bit too heavy for me, but the sauce was really nice. You can order the sauce without the pepper crust which is what I would recommend and would do if I went back. Although my steak was over cooked, it was a nice piece of meat and I should have sent it back and cooked as ordered. My wife had the sea bass. Was a nice piece of fish with a delicious light cream sauce. The fish was perfectly cooked but was Luke warm at best. My wife debated sending it back due to the temperature but she did not. Also had a salad and baked potato. The salad was good a little in the small side and the baked potato was good. They give you some kinda cheese butter with the bread and that was so good they could sell as an appetizer. Overall was still a good dinner. The service was very good from the bar to our waiter. I am sure they would have fixed our main dishes if we had asked but the service was so good I gave it 4 stars. I like the bar area, and patio's ambiance more than the main dining room but it does have a cool old time feel. I would say the fact that the main dishes had issues I am not sure if I would go back again and opt for a different steak house.

We sat in the main Dining room which was very quiet and nice big chairs, the service was excellent. Main dishes prime rib and sea bass were delicious. Appetizer calamari was very good with bread and sun dried tomato butter, blue cheese mashed potatoes missed the mark with flavor and texture and wedge salad was not very good.Overall good experience besides the $18 wedge salad...

I have fond memories of taking my Dad here back in the 80s, so we decided to celebrate my sister's retirement in his honor. When I called to make the reservation for 8 people, I specifically asked that we NOT be seated near the kitchen. When we arrived last night, the host took me directly to the back of the room RIGHT NEXT TO THE KITCHEN DOOR! When I went back to advise the manager of my original request, he basically shrugged me off at first. I let him know I was not happy that my request had been ignored, so he did say we could wait for the other large party to finish and he could seat us there. Since my sister seemed okay with the table location, I went ahead and gave in to being seated there, but I did tell the manager I expect that somehow he would make it right. With regard to our meal and service, our server, Nicole, was fantastic. She was attentive, professional, and friendly. She even went out of her way to take photos outside when we left. We ordered several appetizers, one of which was the crabcakes. While I don't eat crab, everyone said they had the wrong consistency and tasted more like fish than crab. The artichoke was good, but small for the price. Dinner entrees are mostly ala carte so you have to order sides served family style. The creamed corn is amazing! The baked potato was a nice size. My steak diane was delicious, but the people who ordered prime rib complained it was too salty. Honestly, the food was average, at best AND the prices are extreme. It was over $1,000 for eight people. That's crazy. And by the way, there was NO complimentary dessert, no waived corkage fee, nothing to make me feel better about our seating arrangement. This will likely be the last time I visit Sycamore Inn. While I love that it has history, it was not worth the expensive price for what we got.

The ambiance is great with its theme and respect to the past. The bar has a great selection and speciality drinks that are worth every penny. The food has been so so the past couple of visits. The service is fine and the employees are great. For the price the food needs to be more consistent.

Food: Started with the French Onion Soup and Minestrone Soup to start, both were excellent I recommend; but the minestrone was on another level filled with hearty vegetables and some sort of pasta. Next we split a wedge salad, excellent. Our protein was we split a 22oz bone in ribeye, Med-rare plus with a bleu cheese crust...., note there is a split order charge. OMG! Wow. The service was excellent with Taylor W and there was another but didn't catch her name. The table bread was out of this world, crusty and chewy sour dough I believe. Atmosphere is old school, classy vibe in a beautiful rustic building. I highly recommend it.

We finally made it to the Sycamore Inn. We went in for the happy hour specials. Got a martini and an old-fashioned. Then we browse the menu and found a few good things. We tried the salmon and the fillet. We split a Caesar salad that was decent. The salmon was excellent. The fillet was excellent. Properly cooked. The service was just OK and could've been better. Our server was really busy. It seemed like they were short staffed. The inside was really neat with all the old pictures of celebrities who had visited this restaurant over the years. The bar was right out of the past and I would enjoy having a drink there anytime All in all if you're looking for a really interesting place with great food, you have to try this place The Sycamore Inn is OK

What an incredible night! We brought friends here from out of town and made a reservation by calling for 5:45. We arrived at 5:30 and they sat us right away in the main dining room. The huge leather chairs and the square tables made it not just comfortable but easy to converse. Our server Lauren and so attentive and explained the menu. I can have my cocktail on the rocks or straight up, they could do it however I want?! Sweet! She continued to check on us and plates were delivered quickly. The Busperson who worked with Lauren last night was also incredible. Quick with water, to give us bread and delicious sundried tomato butter and to clear plates quickly. Two of us ordered cocktails that were perfectly strong, beautiful and paired well with our dinners. We started with the toasted garlic appetizer that came with a goat cheese and bruschetta. We devoured it! I ordered the salmon which was lightly roasted with a sweet crust and a light lemony sauce. Two of us had the short ribs which melted in your mouth; it was so tender! My other friend had the blue cheese crusted steak, which was rich and perfect! We ordered sides of perfectly roasted Brussels and creamed corn. We were too full for dessert. Kudos to Lauren and the Busperson and the rest of the staff in the kitchen, bar and front of house. What a great team! We had an amazing night and my guests were very impressed! We will definitely be back. Thank you for a beautiful evening.

Arrived at our appointment time. Was seated right away and was introduced to our waiter and her helper. Ordered some wine and decided on our dinner choices. We ordered the short rib dinner (absolutely delicious) and the steak Diane (very good). Also order a side of mashed potatoes. That it was just for me, but it was a big plate full. All the food was very plentiful. Even though the dinning area was very full, the noise level did nit seem to be very loud. The service was on point and fantastic. The only issue we had was that the water seemed to taste a little cloranated.

Had a 5:30 reservation for my 77th birthday dinner. We usually go to Flemings, but my wife suggested the Sycamore Inn which we haven't been to in years. Well we decided to go early to have a drink at the bar only to discover all the bar stools were reserved )-:, so we decide to sit at a table in the bar area, only to discover the table was reserved, no sign and nobody to claim the reservation..... but were told is was reserved and we would have to vacate by 5:15 So they seat us in the main dining room, along with one other couple at the other side of the restaurant, we were the only ones there.... We order appetizers, and then they seat a couple with a small girl at the table right next to us. Now why would you seat a child next to seniors in an empty restaurant??? I will never go to the Sycamore Inn again. Will stick with Flemings where they take good care of their customers.

Sycamore Inn has a rich history dating back to the 1800s. Marilyn Monroe is said to have dined there weeks before she died. While I didn't dine at the restaurant this time, the bar area seemed like a great place to hang out with the local regulars and friendly bartenders. They have a daily happy hour starting at 4:30 pm. Expect to pay $10 or so for a cocktail for the "prime time deal." They have some discounted items on food, but it seems the pro-move would be going with a steak or prime rib considering it is a steakhouse. I ordered the prime rib sandwich au jus. I am a fan of French dip sandwich and if you are too, order this sandwich. At $20, it's not a cheap sandwich, but the higher quality was evident compared to Phillipe's in Downtown LA. The minestrone soup has been on the menu for decades with the recipe from one of the original chefs, so that might be another option on the menu for something lighter. They also have a French onion soup, if that is more your thing. The Sycamore Inn is an awesome place to stop by if passing Rancho Cucamonga for cocktails and bite at one of the oldest restaurants in Los Angeles County. It's also an opportunity to chat with friendly locals. The service from the team was warm, attentive, and friendly. Not at all stuffy or pretentious. Come as you are.

The world famous Sycamore Inn Restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga California is terrific and still serving freshly made to order lunch and dinner-since 1896! We came by for lunch and got an extra bonus-The Route 66 Custom Car Show! The service was great, our herb roasted chicken and Sycamore salad-perfect! We had a great experience at The Sycamore Inn Restaurant! . . . . #sycamoreinn #route66 #carshows #herbroastedchicken ##ranchocucamonga #seetheusa #greatfood

Had a great dinner at Sycamore Inn, our server and his partner were both very nice and attentive, the food was hit and miss. The food was served extremely slow, but it was to be exacted during the holiday season. My major disappointment was that they did not make the soufflé during the month of December because they are too busy in the kitchen and the soufflé takes forever to bake. We ordered the French Onion soup, its one of my favorites and it was delicious. The filet mignon was a little dry but the prime rib was just right! The meat was tender and tasted amazing. The mashed potatoes were good and the creamed corn was really good. We ended the night with the Sycamore Special to share, and you can never go wrong with ice cream. Over all a great dinner and I would definitely come back.

I absolutely love this place. Such a Hidden gem & my new monthly spot for life. Fried avocado 10/10 ribeye 10/10 mash potato 10/10 the meatloaf, deserts basically everything I've tried here has been amazing and I can't wait to come back and explore more. Shout out to the chef!! Also the cocktails are magical & by far the best bartender in town. The 'dark cherry' 10/10 blueberry lemon drop & spicy mango margarita 10/10. Service both times was amazing, Ryan gave me full knowledge on the food, what kind of cheeses etc. love this place and can't wait to come back and have many more amazing food and memories.

We decided to stop by and were able to get a last minute reservation for Happy Hour on a Friday afternoon. The bar area is dark inside, but is decorated elegantly with comfortable booths. There is outside seating on the front porch, but be sure you call ahead for reservations for Happy Hour, especially on the weekends if you want to sit there. We had some cocktails, shared the calamari appetizer, and split the Burrata and tomato salad. Sooo yummy! We will definitely get this salad again! The service was amazing and we are already planning to return soon and bring some more family with us next time!

Best food I have ever had in the Inland Empire! The Prime Rib makes me want to smack my momma...sorry mom!?!? The service staff and environment is also excellent. I love the history and reminds us Californians how we should cherish things that are older than 50 years ago and know that there is still a rich history to our little area here in the I.E.! I can't wait to go back and have another meal!

A New Favorite in Southern California! I had an absolutely delicious meal at Sycamore Prime Steakhouse! From the moment we sat down, the experience was top-notch. The freshly baked sourdough rolls came out hot and paired perfectly with the roasted garlic--a simple yet flavorful start. The homemade minestrone soup was thick, hearty, and bursting with flavor--clearly made with care. The highlight of the evening was the bone-in prime rib--cooked to perfection and incredibly tender. Truly one of the best I've had. And just when I thought it couldn't get better, the soufflé arrived. Light, rich, and absolutely wonderful--a perfect ending to a perfect meal. This is now my new favorite steakhouse in Southern California. I can't wait to come back!
