Loved my delicious dinner at ABsteak. They have the best cocktails. I love the AB Old Fashioned with WAGYU WASHED bourbon. They make it smokey and you really can taste and smell it.

Quality of the beef is superb and the service is professional and it seems second nature. They grill the delicious wagyu beef for you (which is perfect bec I’m not the best cook). I mean the marbling on the beef was soo good.

When you sit down they have a wonderful beef broth palate starter, YUMMMMM.

Such a great underrated place in the neighborhood- fantastic dinner, perfect cocktails, great service. 10/10!

My husband and I just left this amazing establishment!! Upon arrival, we were greeted by the hostess, who was amazing as she called us ahead of time to let us know we booked a late reservation, but there were openings so we could enjoy the restaurant and the food without feeling rushed! So awesome! Once seated, water and a delicious salad were brought to the table, our waiter Jay did not have us for anything. Jay had great cocktail and food selections he explained and suggested and my husband and I had the best meal EVER!! The meat, the cocktails and the atmosphere were topnotch! Having Jay as our serves made our night even better as we got to relax, laugh, and enjoy delicious food! Jay was personable and relatable! He really set the tone of the evening with his energetic and relatable personality and people skills to make sure we enjoyed our experiwnce!  The best part of our visit to San Francisco was definitely AB steakhouse and Jazy! Thank you all again!

We went for dine LA and enjoyed the prix fix menu. Everything was delicious and we left so full. The meat quality was stellar and the recommended flavor pairings were spot on.

High quality Korean bbq. Maybe the highest quality, similar to Cote in NY. They have their own dry aging room, full bar, and table side service. Smoke-less grills so you don’t smell like bbq. Must orders are the egg soufflé - I dare you to find a place in LA with the same type of soufflé. Beef tartare, chadol and marinated galbi. Parking is like $1 for 2 hours at the Beverly center.

The restaurant has been beautifully designed and fits very well with the quality of the food and service, which are both excellent. My husband and I took a couple here from out of town and they were super happy. Our reservation was for 8 o’clock on a weekday but unfortunately the restaurant was empty so we didn’t experience the vibe. The food and alcohol presentation is incredible and it really adds to the overall experience. The cocktails are some of the best I’ve had. We ordered the beef tartar. It was very fresh with beautiful condiments that you mix in. It was a little too sweet for my taste but everyone else loved it. I also found the  cabbage salad and the sides a little too sweet so I would say the chef gravitates towards a sweeter taste. The beefs were incredible with top notch quality and beautifully presented and served. Overall it was a wonderful experience. If you are a beef lover you’d want to give this place a try.
