This establishment used to be Marie calendars. The boy is out of the hospital so off to eat steak we go! It is a weekday around 530 pm and only one other couple here. Boy had the filet mignon it does not come with any sides which is perfect for him. He was so animated when he had the first bite. His exact words" what!!? It's so juicy and perfectly seasoned. I had a bite and yes he was not exaggerating That was a good quality great tasting piece of meat. I ordered a shrimp cocktail for myself which hit the spot. It had some nice heat to it. So nice to see a smile on my boys face while he's eating away. I will be back. Maybe I'll bring my flash light with me next time ha! It's a nice romantic vibe but I can't see!

So good. Coming in for a steak dinner potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The prices have gone down, which is really nice. I love an amazing fine dining moment. This place always hits the spots ! It's close to my House.. My stepdad loves it because they have a good wine five stars every time

Octopus

This review is for Buena Mesa in Downey. This mariscos restaurant really impressed me. The camarón aguachile was vibrant and refreshing, with shrimp marinated just right and a spice level that brought everything to life without overpowering it. The octopus stood out--perfectly cooked, tender, and lightly smoky. The ostiones preparados were fresh and generously topped, balancing the oyster's briny flavor with a punch of seasoning with camarón and pulpo were amazing! A great place for high-quality, authentic seafood.

Cesear Caesar Salad

We were the only ones here for over an hour and the server was not even attentive. The bread and dipping sauce were good. The bf liked his shrimp cocktail. I ordered the chicken plate and it was a bit dry even though it was slathered with a bright yellow sauce that was not mentioned on the menu. The macaroni and cheese was good I was looking at two places for brunch and accidentally picked the wrong one because o thought they had a brunch menu. My mistake. Ambiance? Music and eight TVs going on. The bf said he would come back. Tre desserts in the case look like they have been leftover from Friday night. It is now Sunday afternoon. Oh yeah, the Pork Bend had no pork belly in it. The bf said maybe it was thinly sliced. But to me, it seemed like bacon rolls with a sauce drizzled on it. And they charge for refills of ice tea. Yeah. Should have gone to LKSD. No wonder no one is here after an hour and a half after opening.

Receipt Food Prices

5 stars for Samantha's singing but not happy with the service, we got there before the owner but got our food after. I understand he is the owner but that's rude We waited a while to even get water. Also when you order a New York Stake you have to order your side separately lol crazy. Only reason they are getting 3 stars instead of 1 is because of Samantha's voice and Steak was good but I won't be coming back

Menu

The food was all very very good. The loaded lobster potatoes were the only dish lacking a bit of flavor. The steak cooked medium well was D-licious! The roasted brussel sprouts were the first thing to go they were so good. Haven't had an old fashioned that good in a long time. Came for dinner on a Friday night and there was plenty of seating. Definitely give this place a try I know I will again.

Came here to celebrate my sister in laws bday, I ordered a steak, oyster Rockefeller and lobster Mac and cheese. Everything was delicious! I ordered medium rare and it was perfectly cooked. When we went they had a comedians performing stand-up, it was great and comedians were funny. I would definitely be back on a special occasion. Drinks were also delicious!

Tiramisu & cafe de olla
Sabrina A.

Came in on a Wednesday for lunch, it was pretty empty considering the time but our waitress was so sweet and helpful! I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while since I live nearby and heard good reviews. We were not disappointed! The louis jacot was amazing if you like sweeter white wine! We ordered the filet mignon and bone-in ribeye steak with a side order of their mac & cheese and loaded lobster mashed potatoes. It was absolutely perfect- they were not stingy with the lobster on the mashed potatoes and their blue cheese dip for the steak was amazing! Both the steaks were tender and cooked to perfection! We also ordered their cafe de olla and tiramisu for dessert- both really good as well, and authentic cafe de olla! I hope to come back for their Frank Sinatra night one of these weekends, restaurant was clean, service was great, and food was delicious!

Steak n Stein never disappoints. The service is consistently phenomenal. Candace always goes above…read moreand beyond to make every visit special. She has great suggestions, incredibly friendly, and is always happy to answer any questions. She makes the experience better. The food is amazing. The salads are always fresh, and dressings are delicious. My personality favorite is mixing a little French dressing with their blue cheese. Their baked potatoes are an absolute must! They're huge and perfectly cooked, especially loaded up with butter, cheese, sour cream and chives. Don't skip the onion rings! They are always cooked to perfection and another favorite of mine. You truly can't go wrong here. A huge Thank you to Candace and Matt, for always taking good care of us. There is plenty of parking in the back. The restaurant itself is beautiful. We'll definitely come back!

The place is nice and dark but enough light to see. The service is usually great but there were…read moresome mistakes, like the waitress dropping the potato. The steaks are usually great but there was inconsistency with all of them this night, and when your bill is about $500 for 2 adults and 4 kids you expect better. Highlight was the purple cabbage and the calamari. The biggest letdown was the server didn't stay true to the service, she didn't make the baked potato, she just said butter first sour cream and chives and that's not what I wanted for my kids their first visit. Anyhow might give it another shot but the kids didn't like it so maybe just the wife and I. The old fashions drink I had came out good the first time and horrible the next.
