The good: 1. We were served Prosecco by the host as we entered the restaurant (for buffet brunch). Nice ambiance from the moment you enter. 2. It was cool to walk into the kitchen to select your hot food items. 3. Exceptional service. The bad: 1. The food was "mid." Nothing really stood out or made me want to go back for more. 2. Quite a few veggie items had a smoke flavor, which I personally do not like. 3. The price. For $135 per person, we expected exceptional food quality and flavor. Nice experience overall but not likely to return. read more

We chose this restaurant specifically because we prefer outdoor dining, and they offer a heated patio. The patio itself was beautifully decorated and had a great ambiance. Service was generally good and very polished--everyone was in suits, presentation was sharp, and chilled forks were offered, which felt upscale. That said, there were moments when we weren't sure where our server had gone, with long stretches between check-ins. One moment that stood out: when we asked to see the wine list, our server asked what styles we liked and then disappeared. It seemed he was selecting a wine for us, which was unexpected--especially since there was no mention of price. I mistakenly assumed it might be on the house, but later learned it was $36 per glass, which felt like a bold assumption without checking first. The menu could also be clearer. We ordered the ambassador steak thinking it came with duck fat fries, but instead it arrived as three very small, unimpressive bites. The mushrooms were great but the mashed potatoes seemed overpriced for the portion size. Overall, though, the food was quite good. The Caesar salad was a bit heavy on the pepper for my taste, but the tiramisu was outstanding. One final bummer: I was very full and still had a small piece of steak left. We asked for our leftovers to be boxed up, but the steak never made it into the box :( In short: beautiful space, generally strong food, and polished service--but some communication gaps and value issues that added up, especially at this price point. read more

4.5 I think this might be my new favorite steak spot. It's a bit pricey so not for the faint at heart but it's great for a special occasion. The atmosphere is modern and more trendy than classy and romantic. You might get a table pretty close to another party. So it may depend on the vibe you're going for. They have an extensive wine list with wines separated by their country of origin. We had: Caviar bump Spicy meatballs Bread service Clam croquettes Spinalis Rib eye Asparagus Mashed potatoes My favorite thing about this place is that they cook on an almond wood burning grill! This gives the meat a char which has a flavor that's hard to beat in my opinion. They are a bit heavy on the salt here on many dishes. I didn't know what a caviar bump was. They come with a big can of caviar take out a small spoonful and put it on the back of your hand. I guess you lick it off. (9/10). The spicy meatball was in a super flavorful tomato based sauce. It was a little salty but loved it. (9/10) The bread service is a basket of bread with a croissant, about 5 inches of a loaf and a flat bread of some sort. The croissant was soft and delicious. The flat bread looked crispy but it unfortunately wasn't. (8/10) The clam croquette was breaded smoked clam wrapped in prosciutto with a lemon sauce (10/10) The asparagus was cooked on the the grill and had a great flavor and texture (10/10) Mashed potatoes were good as expected. I just had a vegetarian tell me that the best mashed potatoes are at steak restaurants. Might be something to that. (9/10) You can't get a Spinalis many places so this was my first time trying this cut. It was as good as I've heard and the fact that they cooked on that almond wood just knocked this thing out of the park. It's a smaller portion that other cuts. (10/10) The rib eye was great quality and also cooked over the almond wood which gave it that flavor that you can only get from a wood burning grill. It was topped with escargot that was a little soggy. Large portion. (8.5/10) The sommelier was very helpful and patient. Paired it all with a Marc Bredif chinon. I wanted a fruit forward French wine but apparently that's sort of an oxymoron. The wine was great complimented the meal well. (8.5/10) The service started out not too attentive until the order got larger $$. Then it got very good and they even brought over some interesting after dinner drinks. read more

Dined here for the second time this evening. Definitely won our business after the first visit, but after tonight even moreso. Hands down best steak tartare, focaccia, and espresso martini I've ever had (crafted by Mason the awesome bartender, can tell he's very passionate about working here). Pasta was great, meat was great, desserts were great. Service by Paul was awesome, he's a funny dude. Highly recommend. Will be back soon for another birthday celebration. read more

Went to the brunch buffet, restaurant is beautiful, service excellent! The beef Wellington was my absolute favorite, delicious. All the appetizers and desserts were delicious as well. I only knocked off 1 star because there were never any oysters when we went to get them, we got only four and shared them. Everything was flavorful and it was definitely a treat. read more

Number 1 thing my husband looks forward to is the amazing waffles and they replaced them with crepes, yuck! Please bring them back.

We came here for the first time for my husband's birthday and had a great experience. The service was great, though that's to be expected at these types of places. Upon entry, they started us off with a bone broth after we checked-in for our reservation, which was a unique touch. We all agreed that the creamed corn was some of the best we've ever tasted, and we were also impressed with the cucumber side dish, because that was also an option that's not typically available at other steakhouses. The ambiance was great; we really liked the interior design of the space. Very unique in comparison to steakhouse chains. It wasn't overly noisy but it also wasn't necessarily quiet. Noise level was probably mid-range. There's also a window wall from check-in to the dining room that allows you to view the kitchen at work. We also thought that was a distinctive touch. There was a bar area as well, which was very nice and aesthetically pleasing. I'd probably like to come back and try that out during a date night in the area. Overall, I'd definitely recommend, especially because it's not a chain and is such a nice, unique steakhouse option. Actually, we have recommended it already to a friend who loves steakhouses. read more

Dinner for 2. - Ambiance (5/5) Beautiful interior. Very comfortable, including in the patio area. Nice open kitchen. Even the bathrooms are clean and inviting. - Service (2/5) When we arrived, there were few people, and the attention was consistent. The bone broth at reception was super unctuous. You get a warm towel to start. And lots of detailed description for the menu. Once the meal began though, the service started to tail off pretty significantly. For a restaurant of this caliber, I expect a bottle of wine to be poured for you. This happened only for the first glass. Sometimes there were extraneous things on our table with no explanation- a tray with a small bowl of salt and a pair of golden tongs. We had no idea what these were for! My steak with escargot probably should have come with a small fork for the escargot but none was provided and the waiter not around at all to ask for one. - Complimentary Veggies (2/5) Beautiful? Yes. Tasty? Kind of, if you're trying to be healthy? It was the most confusing beginning to this meal and a really good indicator of what was to come. - Carbonara Pasta, $28 (3/5) The pasta itself was limp. The sauce including the crispy guanciale bits were really tasty. - Bone-on Ribeye, $95 (3/5) Seasoned nicely. Good crust. But medium rare it was not. It was a sort of grayish medium/ medium well. I looked around for the waiter but could not find him. Finally, I decided just to enjoy this piece of meat as best I could. Undercooked meat can be sent back for more time, but I assumed this piece would go to waste if I sent it back. So I ate it. It was good, but not $95 good and certainly poorly executed. The strangest part (and I totally called it after seeing the complimentary veggie plate) is that the escargot (3 in total- I had guessed 1) were just chilling on the steak. I think they were meant to be interesting and pretty, but they contributed nothing to the plate. - Grilled Asparagus, $16 (4/5) Interesting flavor. The fermented black beans gave it a distinctly Asian flavor. Almost like Sichuan string beans. - Mignardise (5/5) Probably the best thing of the night. Perfect little bites of lychee jelly. - Value (2/5) Everything here is priced super premium. For that kind of pricing, I expect creativity AND strong execution and amazing taste. I think they fell short in several aspects. Portions are small relative to prices. - Final Word On the surface, it acts the part of a fancy restaurant. The food and service don't really live up to it. Are there things I might come back for? Yes. But I would be very judicious about what I order. read more

ABSOLUTELY DELECTABLE. Went here for my mom's bday and it was amazing. When we first walked in, they offered us this really nice hot chicken broth and it's sooo good. After we got seated, we were very well taken care of. The waiters were friendly and have this positive aura to them, and this particular waiter named Paul (from what I remember) was so nice. His recommendations are top notch and I enjoyed the food here! We received some vegetables with this nice dipping sauce, and it tasted so refreshing and delicious. We ordered a ceasar salad, bone marrow, gnnochi, mashed potatoes, and some steak. My favorite was the bone marrow-- the flavor is so rich and serving it with a slice of bread made the balance of flavors so nice-- the meat just melts in your mouth! I also loved the gnnochi as well. We always got our glasses of water refilled to the brim too. And the place is SUPER fancy. I just love how neatly decorated the place is, and the atmosphere can be a bit loud but overall this dining experience is the most peaceful one I've had yet at a fancy restaurant. Would definitely come again if I had the money. read more

Sunday brunch. Seafood offering. Different types of caviars. Raw oyster, scallop Carpaccio, salmon mousse, large prawns. There is also feature prime rib, filet mignon, and beef Wilmington. A tip for the Sunday bruncher, if you see something you like, get it. Because they might not make it again. My plate was full, I went back for the beef Wilmington 10 minutes later and it was gone. They say they only make one per day. All the meat is cooked to perfection, but everything was lacking flavor. I guess this caters to the mass. Example; Clam chowder, very hardy, tons of ingredients including clams. But lack of herbal flavor, all I taste the creaminess of the clam chowder. Prime rib roast, I'd asked for the end piece thinking it would be more flavorful with the dry rub. Wasn't that flavorful. And the au jus sauce for my prime rib, didn't seem like au jus sauce made from the meat juice. It seem more like a thick starchy sauce. And the horseradish was more creamy than spicy, no kick. read more

Be.Steak.A - Sunday brunch. Seafood offering. Different types of caviars. Raw oyster, scallop Carpaccio, salmon mousse, large prawns. - Bars Near Me - Campbell, California

We received a message from the business owner and from the sous chef to basically "please let us redo it." They were sad that we were unhappy how the tomahawk came out, so they wanted to make it up for us. Very rarely does anyone reaches out for a second chance and we weren't sure what it would entail, nor did we want to assume, but regardless we took up their offer and spent another night at Be.Steak.A. When we entered they made special note for us that this wasn't going to be an ordinary night. That night, we were provided a special, catered tasting, meticulously planned and personally cooked and prepared by the sous chef himself. We were already off to a great start when we noticed the cocktail menu has changed quite a bit. I ordered the smooth operator, which takes roots from grass hopper but with an extra twist that makes this a satisfying dessert alcohol. My sisters each ordered the Palazzo Pygamos and Royale Rosé which all came in beautiful cups. I had to search for them because I want to buy these myself. Next comes the first taste, a non-menu item which is akin to fried mash potatoes with black truffle atop and mustard seed on the bottom. Quite honestly an impressive start as this altogether got us wanting more. Next was their French onion soup which they used Raclette. I love it as the cheese isn't overpowering, and it allows the soup and the added raw green onion intermingle with the flavor. And I must say, the green onion adds a new dimension to the soup. Next is the perfectly seared scallops surrounded by cream of corn sago. A new combination I've never seen, yet sago with the sweet corn works well, and the perfect scallop can be eaten with or without the corn sago. Next was a surprise: Hamachi crudo, but this time, not rolled up. Apparently we are now in the summer menu so a lot of old items are redux for now. I love the changes here: not only is it easier to portion this time but the added pine nuts and raisins provides a new refreshing taste. Next is their White Truffle Pasta Tajarin Al Tartufo Bianco. The truffle adds a nice earthy flavor to an otherwise.... Almost bland pasta. I love that the pasta is homemade, but it also felt a slight bit undercooked this time. I can see what they were going for, but unfortunately not something I enjoyed. Lastly, the tomahawk finally arrived but this time with different sides. Was the tomahawk redeemed? I say yes. It's a bit on the bluer side than a medium rare which means the fatty parts aren't as seared, but this is still an overall huge improvement from what they had before. The side bread included is a bit on the vinegary side but I can eat bit by bit. They also provided us a redux of the fried rice, this time with hot sausage. Again I think this is a fantastic variant as I do love the spicy sausage used here! Cream of corn is divine and sweet! By far a great new item menu they've added for summer! There's another plate of creamy mashed potatoes with Wagyu fat rendered gravy sauce. My goodness! What a cool idea i have never thought about! All the left over fat that needs to be trimmed off can go straight to gravy! Genius! This was by far the most addicting mashed potatoes and gravy I've had. For dessert, we went with basil key lime pie. Again' another strange-bedfellows that actually works well! Quite inventive and honestly, inventive. Overall, a huge improvement that I am happy to have come back. Thank you! read more

We were regulars of Besteaka until now. The food was delicious as always but the service and management is absolutely horrendous!!!!!! The service used to be so amazing but they really dropped the ball lately. I've reached out many times to discuss the issues we had (which are too long to put on Yelp) but no manager got back to me. What a joke of a business honestly. It's wild how much your experience can be ruined by staff. read more

Great food. Great service. Great cocktail/wine list. Brian and his team get it! Highly recommend.

My new favorite steakhouse! My go-to was Alexander's in Cupertino, but it always felt a little too classy and high brow for me. It's great for a special occasion, but if I am just craving steak, it's not really the place to go to. I like Be.Steak.A just because the atmosphere is so much more me. Very Californian and laid back. The restaurant is GORGEOUSLY decorated. Beautiful without feeling too fancy. When you enter, you are first given this complimentary little cup of bone broth to prep you for your meal. It is DELICIOUS! If I could, I would order a glass of that on its own. The service is probably the second best part, right behind the food. Very helpful, friendly, and fresh hot towels to clean your hands before the meal. You spill something (even if it's a small amount), they will promptly clean the table or cover it with new linens. My favorite dish was the filet mignon. Perfectly cooked and tender. I've tried the gnocchetti, pappardelle, and carbonara. All three are yummy. You won't be disappointed. Special shout out to the spicy meatball. I mean it's literally one meatball, but my husband loved it. Not too spicy and bursting with flavor. Don't forget to stop by the candy table before you leave for some exotic sweets. read more

Doing a fresh review as I'm still full from my meal here 9 hours ago. Came for the Sunday Brunch for $115 and it did not disappoint. Only thing I could possibly knock the grade down for is the price, but you know what you're getting into to. First, upon arrival you are greeted with a nice orange-carrot something something juice that sets a great tone. Walk past the kitchen and buffet sections right into the seats. The interior was really nice and spacious. I wish I remembered our waiter's name, but he was terrific. Promptly explained the good layout situation and offered drinks, lucky for me, my girlfriend doesn't drink so double mimosas for me. He was also taking care of a large party next to us but made sure we were taking care of. I'm sure I had at least $100 worth of caviar alone. There were four types, one what you would consider traditional caviar (others seemed to agree since it always ran out quick, two were tobiko you would get from sushi, and the last were larger type (salmon perhaps?). Either way, I had tons and pro-tip here is to get some eggs and put caviar onto that. I really appreciated that even though one was clearly everyone's favorite and ran out often, it was pretty quickly filled back up so they are not going cheap here. The shrimp are some of the largest you will ever see and the oysters with apple mignonette were fresh and tasty. Another favorite item that was quickly eaten and replenished. Strangely my only item I did not care for was the prime rib. It was medium rare but somehow a bit flavorless and chalky. The filet was great and had a nice Smokey flavor while underrated items were hash with aioli, roasted carrots, toad in a hole (if you find one with a nice runny yolk), clam chowder, and the two Rilettes - smoked fish and pork. The juices there were also amazing. I could really run down the list but everything was great. I would also recommend at least one slice of bread to try the French butters they have - very Brie like and delicious - and also the croissant to try their daily seasonal jams. A few bites of dessert rounded everything off nicely - not a huge dessert fan but still tried a handful and the gelato was divine. Can't say enough good things about my meal. Everything from the staff to the restrooms were on point and we never had to flag anyone down to bring us anything and even the check came at the right time without us needing to feel rushed. The entire time the restaurant was about half capacity and never got close to busy. Good as a diner but a little odd considering it was prime eating time. Lastly, of course you are offered a nice little to-go cup of hot cider to walk out with. You're looking at close to $300 for two once all is said and done with tax/tip but worth the splurge in my opinion. read more

I had brunch here recently with some friends and really enjoyed. They go all out for the Sunday brunch. All kinds of different dishes. Typical breakfast fare like waffles, eggs, bacon, pastries. Then tons of lunch type stuff like steak and other meats at a carving station. Tons of salads and fruit and desserts. I loved the steak and several of the breakfast items. Enjoyed the salads and fresh fruit. Desserts were good but always seemed to be empty. The gelato freezer kept running out and lots of the desserts were empty spots. So that was the only issue. Loved going in the kitchen to get the hot foods. Did not like having to pay bar prices for a tiny mini diet coke. Overall a nice brunch though and I want to try it for dinner and get a steak. read more

We went here for an anniversary dinner. The staff treated us really well with beautiful table setting, complimentary dessert, and even a signed card! We ordered bread service and the bone marrow for starters. My partner and I enjoyed both, they were very tasty and a great start to the meal! For main course we got the koji aged center cut and the ribeye. They were excellent! Cooked to perfection and well seasoned, super umami! Overall we had an amazing time here. Would def recommend to come for a special occasion. They even gave us free candy on the way out! read more

Came here for dinner. We first had some cocktails those were good. We then got our entree the steak we got was pretty tough and the flavor just wasn't there. The pasta was ok.

Had the most wonderful dining experience here for my birthday! My boyfriend made reservations, and as soon as we were checked in we were offered hot chicken bone broth from the host. Our server, Robert greeted us and offered us hot hand towels. The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful, so modern and clean. We ordered the steak tartare and lamb chops as appetizers, both of which were delicious. My boyfriend and I both had the ribeye with escargot and it was a generous portion and seasoned very well. I tried the ramos fizz and it was delicious. The only thing I did not enjoy was the dessert. The free birthday dessert wasn't my favorite, and my boyfriends lava cake was definitely not worth $20... All in all, I would definitely recommend for a nice occasion. read more

We made a reservation thru Open Table and indicated that it was our anniversary celebration. On arrival, it was not acknowledged, but I did let the host who seated us know, since she asked if it was a special occasion. There was nothing at our table, but I did pass another table that had an anniversary card on it. Our waiter was fine but did not introduce himself and was a little stuck up. Decor was fine but was more casual than I expected, but then again there were people dressed in plain white t-shirts, jeans and sneakers so I guess I expected too much. This was a Saturday evening, btw. Most of the food was delicious, especially the small bites- we loved the Truffled Deviled Egg and the Tiny Onion Soup. Focaccia di Recco was very good. Hamachi Crudo was okay but I was not a fan of the minty gazpacho verde it came in. Yam Stones are great if you like goat cheese. Lobster Tortelloni was outstanding but on the small side. The Filet Mignon was good. The Split Bone-In Ribeye was cooked medium rare as requested, but was dry and needed seasoning. We shared a few desserts and the standout was the Warm Molten Chocolate Cake. Skip the Peach Cobbler and the Mixed Berry Trifle. We received a complimentary Baked Alaska for our anniversary (my adult children informed someone about it at some point) and that was nice. IMHO we should've gone elsewhere to celebrate; it just didn't do it for me. I expected more at this price point. Oh and we were told to be sure to visit the candy station on our way out and take some French candy- OMG there were DumDum lollipops, taffy and hard coffee candy, like sad kid Halloween. read more

5 Stars - A New Family Favorite in Campbell I made reservations at Be.Steak.A for my birthday not really knowing what to expect. I'd driven by a few times, saw the name, and figured it looked like it might be solid--but hadn't heard much firsthand. Let me tell you... this place didn't just deliver--it blew us away. Our whole family came out, and now we've got a new go-to spot. The food is insane--rich, flavorful, perfectly cooked, and plated like something out of a high-end magazine without the snob factor. From starters to steak to dessert, everything was dialed in. You could taste the attention to detail and passion behind the menu. It's more than a steakhouse--this is an experience. Bonus shoutout: the complimentary chicken broth they serve when you first sit down is off the hook. Not sure what magic they put in it, but it sets the tone right away that you're about to be taken care of. The staff was top-tier. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like VIPs. Everyone was warm, helpful, and beyond accommodating. They made sure our whole family felt welcomed and taken care of, and they hit the perfect balance of professional and personable. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Be.Steak.A made my birthday special in a way I wasn't expecting. We came in curious and left loyal. This is how you run a restaurant. read more

I really enjoyed dinner here. I was not prepared to overeat so much delicious food! You will not leave here hungry. Ambiance is very nice. Getting to walk by the gorgeous, pristine kitchen was a treat for me. You know your food is being prepared with care in a kitchen like that. Decor is pleasing And I really appreciated the beautiful plates the food is served on. The little details show they care. Service is what you would expect from a restaurant like this. Extremely attentive and welcoming. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and didn't miss a beat. Food was incredible. Stand outs for me were the mashed potatoes, asparagus, yam stones, and ravioli. Bread service was good, but the house-made butter is what made the bread great. Tomahawk Chop was many meal's worth of meat. I brought home enough food for two more meals so I guess when you consider that it's a good value for the money. Came for a special occasion and received a Baked Alaska for dessert. It was beautifully prepared and tasted great. Was too full to order a dessert from the menu but I look forward to returning in hopes to not overeat next time and be able to try one. If you have a little extra cash to splurge on a great meal and dining experience, this is the place! read more

Hands down the best service I've ever had--professional, warm, and perfectly timed. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel truly cared for without being overbearing. They start you off with some bone broth and finish with a refreshing iced tea upon exit. Every single dish was incredible--beautifully presented, packed with flavor, and cooked to perfection. You can tell there's real passion behind the food and the experience. Be.Steak.A is a gem. I'll be back for every special occasion--and probably a few random Tuesdays too. Highly recommend! read more

Food was awesome. The new wagyu on hot stone was fabulous. Service was on point, and the ambiance was cozy.

Another amazing experience here! We came in on a Monday with reservations to celebrate the hubs bday and our wedding anniversary Came in and got greeted with chicken bone broth yum. We got seated and one of the staff asked if we wanted my flowers to be placed in a vase. Exceptional service. We also saw a card for my hubs bday and our first anniversary. They put a crisp 2$ bill inside the bday card! Our waters and sparkling water was constantly being filled and plates constantly being picked up. The flow and timing of the courses was excellent Our server was excellent as well and accommodated the many food restrictions I asked for regarding the tasting menu lol We tried their 7 course tasting menu "everything old is new again" and we were throughly impressed by the presentation, story behind it, the taste and surprises here and there with the experience. We enjoyed everything we tried. I didn't like that taste and smell of the crystal bread but my husband thought it was fine The first course came in a box! So cute!! Second course was also presented uniquely which I enjoyed Cute hand rolled pastas for the 3rd course Scallops came in on a clam shell :) 5th course came on a nice tray with a B on the creamed corn 6th course had a variety of yummy desserts. Also they gave us two charms for "b" "steak" so cute Last course was a dessert where they heated up the alcohol in front of us and poured the sauce on top very nice touch They took a Polaroid picture of us and placed it in a small folder with the tasting menu inside as a memory. Loved it! We've done a tasting menu at another place and b.steak takes the cake! It was pretty busy there for a Monday but not packed, so perfect amount of people and great ambiance. We wanna try their brunch one day. Price was high but worth it Highly recommend this restaurant. It's our favorite in the Bay Area read more

Remember when you started dabbling with makeup as a teen and overdid it... Too much eyeshadow, too much blush, and a lipstick color that clashed. Back then, there was no YouTube or TikTok so I ended up looking like Bozo, the clown. Less is more, yea? That's how I felt about Be.Stéak.Ă. With such stellar ingredients, I felt like they're being extra when they don't need to be. When you have a great canvas, little has to be done to make it shine. Be.Stéak.Ă (OCK's sister reso) has been on my list to try so I decided to take a plunge for a very belated NYE dinner. They're open for takeout, indoor dining, and outdoor dining. Glad that the patio is now dog-friendly. M E N U Modern, luxe steakhouse with Italian influences (housemade pastas) and a touch of Asian (pork fried rice). Full bar. Def bring a thiccc wallet (or your sugar daddy/mama) because this is a place where you can ball out with caviar service, lobster, and A5 waygu. For lunch service, there's a $98 prix-fixe or an abbreviated dinner menu available. For Sunday brunch service, the buffet is $110 pp. D R I N K S * Hendricks Gibson ($21): https://tinyurl.com/mtkebjvx Solid and stiff; not too much vermouth which is my preference. * Meletti Fernet, Italy (comped) Herbaceous and subtle mint flavor compared to Fernet Menta. * Spadoni Fernet, Vintage 2000s, Italy ($17): https://tinyurl.com/ytueaa4u Fernet is hard to find in the SB so I was surprised to find a vintage option here. 51% abv...heeeey! Very smooth and herbaceous, not too astringent. F O O D * Complimentary Chicken Bone Broth The bone broth was hot and comforting on a wintery, drizzly night. * Complimentary Crudités w/ mascarpone dip: https://tinyurl.com/2vbyyh6n Cancels out the meatfest! * Chilled Beau Soleil Oysters w/ limoncello granita, melon, pink peppercorn, basil (1/2 dozen - $34): https://tinyurl.com/4a6557tj Sounded great on paper but the accompaniments overshadowed the fresh oysters. * Tajarin Al Tartufo: Hand cut pasta, parmesan fonduta, black perigord truffles ($48): https://tinyurl.com/27x4u82x and https://tinyurl.com/2s3crrmw Based on the reviews, we should of skipped this. The noodles were dry and undercooked. The fonduta sauce was rich and silky but just tasted like cream; IMO, it needed seasoning and truffle flavor incorporated into the sauce, not just scant truffle shavings for garnish (compared to earlier pics). * Prime Rib w/ roasted onion, natural jus, horseradish cream, basil crostino ($66): https://tinyurl.com/mrx3fv4u ***Requested rarest cut. A sizeable slab of prime rib but we agreed that it was on the tough and dry side without the jus. And, the accompanying horseradish cream tasted more like cream than horseradish. * Spinalis w/ black garlic breadcrumbs, kizami wasabi chimichurri, roasted garlic purée ($70): https://tinyurl.com/yck26ntm ***Requested medium rare. For a such a prized, richly marbled cut, I was ugly crying inside when the ribeye cap arrived covered in sauce. The wasabi chimichurri + garlic purée + garlic breadcrumbs clashed and was so salty. It completely overpowered and masked the flavor of the spinalis. It looks like most of their steaks contain some type of sauce. If you're a purist, maybe request it on the side? * Mashed Potatoes w/ wagyu-colatura gravy ($17) Solid - rich and creamy smooth. * Mushroom Pot Pie w/ porcini ragù, parmesan pie crust, marsala, zabaglione ($22) Deliciously buttery and flaky crust but the filling was unpleasantly gloopy and clumpy with minimal mushrooms. * The Crème Brûlée w/ whipped buttermilk, blackberry pavlova, cassis ($15): https://tinyurl.com/mvxbnst3 Good - a thin layer of rich custard crowned with a large surface area of crackly caramelized sugar. Before leaving, you'll receive a little baggie for the candy bar. S E R V I C E Hats off to the wonderful staff because service was on-point! The staff was polished, knowledgeable, attentive, and approachable. Shout-out to the hostess, Stephanie and our server, Paul because they were awesome. Food service is leisurely so make sure go with someone/people you actually want to spend time with. A M B I A N C E Minimalist, simple elegance with an exhibition kitchen. Love the outdoor patio with the fireplace. Even though it was cold and sprinkling, it was warm and cozy. Two of three bidets weren't fully functioning. I guess some customers (me!) got too excited with the "massaging" function and broke it. P A R K I N G Located outside the perimeter of The Pruneyard, parking was fairly easy in the plaza. Overall, awesome FOH staff and outdoor patio (5 stars). Maybe we ordered wrong but the food missed the mark and left a lot to be desired (2.5 stars) especially when comparing to Alexander's and fine dining restos in SF. When you have great ingredients, no need to be hella extra. Less is more! read more

This is our go-to place for steak. Best quality in the bay area, in my opinion. Definitely come with a big group so you can get the mega hawk and porterhouse. Absolutely delicious. Love all the cocktail options as well. My favorite dish is the yam stones, MUST GET. It's like yam mochi melting in your mouth. The focaccia is fun, you get to cut it with scissors . We used to always get the bone marrow workshop but they got rid of it...so sad. It was so unique and fun to wear gloves and dig out your own fatty pieces. Now it's a bone marrow plate. Don't forget to visit the candy table after! You feel like a kid on Halloween. read more

The closest I can get to Vegas buffets in the Bay Area! O R D E R E D Came here for Sunday buffet brunch - I haven't been here for dinner yet so this review is JUST for the buffet. V E R D I C T This is probably the closest I'll get to Vegas buffet and what I mean by that is in 1) good quality 2) good variety and 3) great presentation! Of course it's a bit pricier than even Bacchanal Buffet in Vegas but the variety and quality of food that you get here, makes you feel leveled up. Items I tried include [but not limited]: salmon roe, fresh oysters, fresh sashimi, truffle deviled eggs, steak, salmon poke, mussels, shrimp cocktail, charcuterie, lots of fresh bread, wedge caesar salad, caviar, and much more! They have the main dining room with buffet trays and platters, along with inside their kitchen with some hot dishes. There was also so much dessert choices, like boba, tiramisu, cake pops, caramel apple beignets, monkey bread, ice cream. You can't go wrong with their cocktails, we tried the coconut cocktail, old fashion, and a mystery drink the bartender made. read more

We had a work dinner at this lovely restaurant on a Tuesday night. The place was quite busy, so I am glad we made reservations. The food was all very good. The steak was excellent. It does take some time when you order, so remember to maybe order some apps while your meal is being prepped. The place was spacious, definitely great for work events, larger group dinners. It is a little expensive, but it was worth it. Thank you for having us. read more

Very attentive staff, lots of little extras that pamper the diner. My steak with side of mushrooms was the best I've had. It's a little pricey but worth it. read more

First time dinner experience celebrating my significant other's birthday. Overall a fantastic meal with some minor negatives. I'll start with the positives: 1. Atmosphere is relaxed, fine dining which I love. No dress code, you can dress as elegantly or as comfortable as you'd like and fit in. 2.Great service-experienced & tenured wait staff with personality. Very attentive, waters were always full. Plates were cleared efficiently. Everyone was very kind and courteous. 3. We ordered A LOT of food-our server was genuinely concerned. Most of the food we loved (I'll detail that below) some was a bit of a miss for us. 4.Attentive and careful about any potential food allergies. 5. Restrooms were clean, well maintained and luxurious. Negatives: 1. 3 long hour dinner experience with long wait times (read 20 min) between courses/plates. We got bored and tired and were ready to go before our mains were served. 2. Although we were not there for a budget dinner experience it did seem as though some items were exorbitantly over priced. Favorite food items: Bone broth-out of this world Lamb Chop small bite was delectable-possibly my favorite item we ordered. Caesar Salad-delish, portion large enough to share. Hamachi crudo was a hit for my significant other. I thought it was good & would likely order it again. Scallop app-perfectly seared and cooked to perfection. The squash pureee was a little sweet for my savory palate but would still order again. Bone Marrow app-great-elevated with beef cheek which was a nice addition and flavor. Agnolotti Pasta-Amazing flavor! Highly recommend. Pasta a little too Al dente but didn't prevent me from inhaling every last bite. Crab/seafood pasta- good per my SO. Truffle fries-delish-very large portion Misses: Oysters-too sweet of profile for my preference Onion Soup-nothing to write home about Lobster Risotto-Didn't care for Pork Fried Rice-Good flavor-better leftover but unnecessary addition Prime Rib-okay-good flavor-cooked perfectly-might try the grilled steak next time read more

We came here for their Sunday brunch and left with full bellies! Great selection of food and they even had an omelet bar! I enjoyed their prime rib and the beef wellington. Our server was polite and came to check on us multiple times, great service! The dining area we were in was a little chilly but it warmed up after they bumped up the heat. I would go back there again, to check out lunch or maybe even an early dinner. read more

I have different expectations for different type of restaurants. For this restaurants like this one, my expectations are higher. Unfortunately, service was not as expected. There was maybe one server most of the time during our dining experience there that night. This was my second time dining in the private room in the back with a larger crowd than normal. The server seems overwhelmed with the amount of people there. I felt like she was not very experienced by the way she was taking orders. Simply, at a steak house, when a customer orders steak, an experienced server would normally ask"how would you like the steak cooked?" That was not offered... anyways, I asked my steak to be prepared "medium rare". I ended up getting a "medium well" steak. I was very disappointed. Since I wasn't the one picking up the tab, I didn't want to make a big scene. I kept my mouth shut. I assumed I was either give someone else's meal or it was not prepared as requested. For such high end steak house to make a mistake like this, I was very disappointed. On the positive note, I enjoyed all the other dishes. Despite my disappointment, I would still like to come back sometime soon. read more

Ambiance - the place looks nice and very clean. I especially like the open kitchen. The decoration is random but it's interesting. Food - we started off with the oysters, which were amazing. I have actually not had oysters with such flavor. The lemoncello ice was a delicious addition and now I think I can't have them any other way. If you like oysters, try these! We also ordered some meatballs ($6 dollars each). The meatballs and the sauce was very good but for a six dollar meatball I would expect the size to be a little bit bigger. Im not too sure how I felt about the salads. I prefer my veggies chopped and my salad tossed or mixed. We ordered two different pasta dishes for the table, both were bland and very little in serving size. The creamy Brussels sprouts were just okay. The mashed potatoes were good. For our main, my husband ordered the ribeye, and I ordered the filet mignon. Sadly, they brought everyone's food out but mine. I then told our waiter that we were waiting for one more steak and that's when he noticed he had not written it down when he took our order. I reminded him of how him and I conversed about how I wanted it cooked yet somehow it was missed.... That was pretty disappointing but I didn't want to keep the others waiting (there was six hungry folks with hot plates in front of the them) so I decided to say that's fine and move on with the only other option, sharing a rib-eye with my husband. Thankfully his steak was big enough to feed us but he was looking forward to having it all to himself. Who wants to share their meat!?! Especially when they came hungry and ready to have some steak! Service - besides missing my order, our waiter was great. Actually, all the staff were very pleasant and friendly. All in all, some of the food was good and some not so much. We gave them a shot, but we likely won't be returning here. read more

I'm with the others who've reviewed here in that the brunch buffet at Be.Steak.A is a total splurge, but one hundred percent worth it. I've been lucky enough to go twice and have been blown away each time. ​The experience starts the second you walk in. You're handed a complimentary glass of sparkling wine or cider, taken on a kitchen tour, and then seated. The staff here are genuinely friendly and so welcoming, which makes you feel right at home. The dining space feels huge and open, so you have plenty of room to move around even when it's busy. ​Now, for the food. Where do you even begin? There are so many amazing options, and what I love is that a lot of them are plated in small, bite sized portions. This makes it super easy to try a little of everything. The seafood display is always restocked with fresh options like crab, poke, shrimp, and chef specials. Our last visit had an additional display with several types of caviar, which was fun to try as well. But honestly, the steak is what really stood out to me. Every cut of smoked and aged red meat my doctor tells me to cut back on was so good, I had to go back for seconds at least. ​My only small critique is that the coffee was a bit of a miss on both visits. The espresso pulls for the cappuccinos were pretty inconsistent. But hey, this is a steakhouse, not a coffee shop, right? It's a minor detail in an otherwise incredible dining experience. Looking now for an excuse to visit for dinner and round up my overall experience here. read more

The Foodguy visits for the first time...I'm not sure where to start my story...a long time ago in a kitchen not so far far away. I was the food sales guy for the California Kitchens, I met Jeff at the Palo Alto location. My family and I enjoyed a few "chefs table" in the kitchen of Alexanders. My daughter and I have had many a meal over at the Orchard kitchen (Shes on her way to Disneyland so missed out tonight) Everything here is wow, showcase exhibition kitchen ad you walk in, toilets that have self lifting lids Oh My, an exceptional Staff, beautiful presentations of good and drinks alike. Wow is the only word I can think of to express my opinion of my meal here this evening...Thanks Chef Goodguy read more
