This place was amazing! Such a hidden gem! Came here with a gift card from a friend and it was definitely a 10/10. Steak was amazing, staff were friendly and the place itself was very relaxing. Definitely coming again. read more

Parking was not a problem. As soon as I entered through the double doors of "Cornelio's Steak House" I sensed that the waitresses attitude and attention was upon the customer. (NICE) Seated, really feeling the fresh baked bread with real butter. SIDENOTE: Everything is served à la carte. Know up front that the $200. reservation deposit will be taken off of your bill. (HINT): side portions are enough for two people to share. Being satisfied with the service, atmosphere, and flavors...my overall dining experience was beneficial. read more

Ranchtario! 100% ya'll are asleep on this one, too busy stuffing your grubby lips at Texas de Brazil, hands down one of the best steakhouses in California, if not the country. Easily on par with Mortons, yup I said it, so give up your Longhorn this weekend and visit, you won't regret it. Your welcome. read more

Nice ambience for a business dinner. The appetizer of spinach dip and crispy shrimp was excellent. I asked the waitress what is their best selling item and she recommended the ribeye. It cooked it rare and it was average tasting nothing really special about the meat. We also got a side dish of the macaroni and cheese with lobster that was very tasty. The brussels sprouts with bacon was also very delicious. The broccoli was average. The asparagus was tasty however they did not trim the ends of the asparagus so it was woody. Overall experience very average for the price that was paid. read more

The food is absolutely delicious. My husband and I have been here so much and we enjoy the steak along with the mac & cheese. I dream about the parmesan truffle fries. My husband dreams about the 22 oz ribeye. We never have to wait a long line and service is very good. Our favorite desert is the obviously the creme brûlée. read more

Been wanting to try this place out for a while now! My bestie and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here last night! I made a reservation for us online. We arrived a little before our reservation, but they were able to seat us right away. Love the decor in the place! It's very elegant, clean and roomy. The lighting strikes the perfect balance--bright enough to see your meal beautifully, yet soft enough to preserve the intimate, upscale ambiance. Liliana was our server and she was excellent. We were having trouble deciding on what to order, so she brought us some waters and bread and butter for the table. The bread appeared to be freshly baked or at least warmed and the butter was soft-churned so it was easy to spread. Wonderful! We decided to share the jumbo lump crab cakes which were so flavorful and loaded with delicious crab! I was a little surprised they weren't served with a dipping sauce, but it honestly wasn't needed. We each decided to get the 6 oz filet with 3 jumbo shrimp. The sides are shareable, so we ordered the grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes. Everything was incredible! Our filets were cooked to perfection and were like cutting into butter. So fresh and flavorful. The plates really do sizzle as they're finished with clarified butter and parsley. The shrimp were a nice addition to the plate. The grilled asparagus was a great way to add greens to the meal, though I didn't try the hollandaise sauce that came with it. The mashed potatoes were creamy and seasoned perfectly! I can see why this place has such amazing reviews! We also didn't feel rushed during our meal and were able to casually sit there, chatting and enjoying taking our time. I honestly can't wait to go back and try more of the menu! read more

The ambiance is nice and welcoming. The restaurant is very nice inside. The filet mignon and the grilled shrimp were cooked just right. Tender and juicy. Both very tasty! The mashed potatoes and the vegetables were enough for 2. We had some left over to take home. The chicken was very good and not overcooked. The hot fudge cake was very good! Well worth it! Everything is à la carte in case you have never been here. You order your main dish and, for 2, you can share the sides. Enjoy!! read more

Had a pretty great experience here with only minor hiccups. Service - Great, our server was awesome. French Onion - I thought it was really good and flavorful. My dad thought it was passable. Carpaccio - I was super excited for this as I only rarely see this at restaurants, but they were out! Very disappointing, but I can't hold it against them unless this is a regular occurrence. Jumbo Lump Crab Cake - This was the worst crab cake I've ever eaten. It was extremely "fishy" and had lots of hard bits in it. Not sure if this was the style, but it was disgusting. I could barely eat any. My dad said it was fine. Chopped Salad - Fine, neutral. Dressing could pop a lil bit more to give it some identity. Otherwise it was okay as a placeholder generic salad. Ribeyes - Excellent, very unique. My dad's was overcooked (medium instead of medium rare). I traded him since I'm less picky. The way they season and cook it was extremely flavorful, melt in your mouth, almost like a wagyu. One of the best ribeyes I've had. Steak sauces - Mid, bland. Not the worst, not the best. Halibut - Only had a bite, but seemed pretty tasty. Creamed Spinach - Yummy. A nice touch. I rarely see creamed spinach at nice restaurants so it was a great change of pace. Sauteed Mushrooms - Sliced very thinly with onions which I thought was a great stylistic choice vs standard button mushrooms. I like it either way but I appreciated the uniqueness. Asparagus - Just typical neutral veg, perfectly fine. The hollandaise it comes with is a nice touch. Creme Brulee - Perfect, but totally normal, which is a good thing. No innovation necessary. In summary, I would return. Lots of things were great, a couple things were concerning. But overall I had quite a positive experience. read more

My partner and I went to Cornelio's steakhouse on a Friday night and it was good to see that it was busy but with no wait time. Also love the large parking lot in the back, it's never been hard to find parking. We ordered a rack of lamb and a steak with plentiful sides of mashed potatoes and mushrooms, overall the entrees were pretty good and well cooked. The calamari was seasoned great with a good crunch. The chocolate molten cake was tasty but unfortunately did not have any melt so it was more of a decadent chocolate cake which paired very well with the berries and ice cream. The item that really blew our minds though: that beautiful starter of bread and butter--let me tell you that I haven't had such good bread and butter in a while. The bread was perfectly toasted on the outside with a soft and warm inside and the butter was an addictive perfectly salted entity that was to die for. We would honestly come back just for that bread, so delicious! read more

This restaurant is across the way from Ontario Mills in a small strip mall. The parking was a little challenging for a Friday night. The inside was cozy and felt intimate. Great for a date night! We stood with the hostess for a good long time despite there being plenty of tables and servers. We were eventually seated but the waitress seemed busy. After waiting a while again, the host took our order. The ribeye, lobster, Brussel sprouts and the baked potato were all very good. I loved the bread that we started with. Unlike other steakhouses, the bread was not refillable. They were going to charge for more bread. Overall, the food was delicious. I think the service could be better for a place like this. read more

Had dinner at Cornelio's Steak House right by the hotel we were staying and it was a solid, classic steakhouse experience. The ribeye was cooked well and had good flavor, and the filet mignon was tender and well-seasoned. We also tried the shrimp cocktail and a baked potato, both simple but done right. Service was attentive and the atmosphere felt relaxed and surprisingly upscale for a strip mall restaurant. read more

Went here on a whim last night to try a new steak house. We got the Caesar salad, brussels sprouts macaroni and cheese and the 6oz filet and the 8oz filet. The bread was really yummy. My filet was cooked medium well when I requested medium rare. My husbands was opposite. I required them to make a new one. For $50+ I wasn't settling for over cooked. The second one to come out was much better but really nothing exciting. The salad, Mac and Cheese and Brusssels were just MID as my teenagers would say. Definitely not high-end steakhouse quality. I guess the best way to describe this place is it wants to be high end, but the food needs a lot of work. The ambience and the staff were great. The servers were very attentive and kind. Overall.... It's not the worst experience but definitely on the Low end for a good steakhouse. It was more Logan's steakhouse food quality with a champagne type ambience. If that's makes sense. For the price vs food quality, I'm not sure we will return. read more

Amazing food, better service and great atmosphere. Aleeta was very attentive and nice.

A friend recommended this place a few months ago and we ended up coming here for an early birthday dinner for my sister. It's off of 4th street in the same lot as Sonic and across from Ontario Mills. I would eat here again versus one of the big chains for sure. I ordered the 8oz filet mignon medium rare and it came out like on the border of medium well, but it was delicious! It was seasoned perfectly, I could smell the butter when they brought it to the table and it was a great piece of steak. For the sides, I loved the creamed spinach followed by the sauteed mushrooms. The Mac and cheese I'd skip. It was more liquid than I'd like and it wasn't anything spectacular. For starters we had the calamari and it was delicious, just wish they gave us more for the table. The bread was very good and I used it to eat the artichoke dip which was alright. I'd rather order the creamed spinach over the artichoke dip. I had their Caesar salad and it was perfect! Not too tangy or soggy and it really didn't need anything extra but I did add pepper at some point and I think it was fine without it. The French Onion soup to me was passable (I read another review that said it too), but I'm not a French Onion soup fan. Read the other reviews and did not order dessert, plus we were too full after all of that food. Our server was Liz and she took great care of us. This restaurant is inside of a small space that's part of a shopping plaza so don't expect a big sprawling dining area with fancy features. They have a bar a television or two and it's table dining only, no booths. We were four girls having a girls dinner and even we were trying to channel our inside voice because there's literally people sitting all around you like you're at a wedding or banquet event. We did dress up a little, but there were people that rolled in with tennis shoes and shorts and a polo shirt, but for the most part no one was dressed like they were going to run errands. I'd come back because it's such a small intimate space and you feel like you're being taken care of here and the food is excellent. Skip Flemming's, Texas Brazil and Fogo de Chao and come here instead. read more

When you're craving delicious steakhouse food but want a more quaint vibe, this is your place. Super good high-end dining without the loud crowd. We were staying across the street for a couple of nights and we wanted a real meal. YELP led us to the perfect spot. We had great food and great service. My hubby enjoyed a delicious Wedge salad and a bone-in Ribeye. He loved it! I ordered the Salmon over roasted veggies, OMGosh amazing! The bread was great which is always a plus. But the real winning dish of the night was the Bang fried Shrimp; excellent! That was absolutely delicious and I will be thinking about it until I come back. The mac n cheese was good and so was the crème brûlée. read more

Back again! This little spot gets a big 150% in my book. We arrived at 12:30pm, and like our previous visit we had the whole dining room to ourselves. The ambiance is casual yet elegant. Smooth Jazz playing and a warm feel. The food again was off the hook! My Wife and I could truly fall into the sin of gluttony! Everything was cooked perfect and the flavors amazing. I didn't get the waitress name because I couldn't stop eating... but she was a doll. She was warm, engaging and prompt. My only concern was the lack of customers. We are not from the area, so we don't get a chance very often to stop in. But Rancho Locals... WAKE UP! Cornelio's is a Hit... Flood this place and share the love! read more

I really enjoyed my experience here at Cornelio's Steak House. I've been in this shopping center before, but never noticed this place existed. Our friends have been before and kindly treated me to a birthday dinner here recently. We came on a weekday and it wasn't too busy. Staff was friendly and we were seated right away. Their menu has a lot of good options. My husband and I decided to share the French onion soup, which they split into two bowls and the portion size was bigger than I was expecting. And don't get me started on the bread, it was so good! The soup was really tasty. We also decided to split a New York steak (because no way I'd finish it on my own lol) I do like when you split meals they slice the meat and separately plate it for you. I'm not sure if this is an additional charge, but I love that they do this. We also ordered the mashed potatoes and sautéed mushrooms on the side as a table. The steak and mushrooms were delicious! The meat was cooked to perfection and came out fresh. The mashed potatoes weren't bad, but it wasn't my favorite. We had such a great time eating and catching up and by the end of the night I was surprised with a little birthday dessert. I will admit it is a little pricey, but we received quality food and service. I would definitely be back again for a special occasion or date night and recommend others to try it out! read more

Came on a Friday night didn't seem busy. Free bread was warm served with butter. I request for more bread but the server said it was $2. All their sides were $12 each. Went for the Brussel sprouts and baked potato. Ordered a 14oz rib eye (medium well) and 2 lobster tails. Best part was the lobster tails it was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious! read more

I would say that this place is very underwhelming if a fine dining experience is what you are looking for. The decor is nice, but it just doesn't give the upscale feel inside. The tables are a little too close together and the bar is not separate from the dining area. Although our server, Rebecca was nice, the service itself was subpar. She forgot our appetizers (French soup and calamari) and only offered us more bread which we already had 2 servings. Be advised that if you ask for more bread they will charge you $4. Needless to say our calamari was flavorless and rubbery. The French onion soup was gummy and not good. We were also disappointed that we came for the Salmon Wellington and shortly after ordering the server returned to let us know it was not available. We opted for steak and lobster instead. The truffle fries we ordered weren't that great either. The prices were a little too much for this place. I was not impressed with this place at all. read more

Dining at Cornelio's Steak House is truly a culinary pleasure. From the very first course, the attention to quality is unmistakable. The house bread, served fresh from the oven, is nothing short of divine -- warm, delicately crisp on the outside, and irresistibly soft within The French onion soup is exceptional and utterly covetable. Perfectly balanced, richly flavored, and crowned with a beautifully melted layer of cheese, it exemplifies classic comfort elevated with finesse. An evening at Cornelio's is marked by elegance, warmth, and impeccable execution. Attention to service -thank you Darlene! Dining experience well worth savoring. read more

Food and service was excellent. It was not inexpensive by any means, but the special occasion warranted something more upscale. Ambience was nice and not too loud. Portions were good and steaks were cooked just as ordered. Everything is ala carte, so prepare for that. Drinks were good, but not over the top. Definitely worth checking out... read more

To start things off, I would just like to say that overall, the meal was a 5 star meal. However, there were some things that could be improved easily. First of all, at the beginning, as usual they asked if we wanted drinks. We ordered a Pepsi, Sprite, and 2 waters. The water arrived on the 3rd time we asked for it, after the main course. Anyhow, the appetizers were delicious; the wedge salad very well balanced and the calamari was superb, defining the line between chewy and tender giving it the perfect balance. The appetizers also came very fast. Next, we ordered the tomahawk steak, with the sides of broccoli and asparagus. The asparagus was good, the tomahawk was great, but the broccoli had a tad bit too much garlic. But, the tomahawk melted in your mouth and was very juicy. 1000 praises to that. Lastly, we ordered our chocolate lava cake and then, disappointingly, the bill came before our desert. The desert then came and it was fine. Nothing special. Neutral. Overall, the experience was excellent and we would return. read more

Highly recommend. Food was fantastic. The steak was simple but perfect. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Sides were also simple but in.m a classic satisfying way. Service was also good. There's a large parking lot as well. Would definitely recommend for a nice celebratory or fancy dinner. They also had a kid friendly meal. read more

Walked in without a reservation but was seated right away. Great menu but unfortunately no server came to my table to greet me. After waiting 20 minutes I inquired with the hostess who said "it would just be a minute". Waited 10 more minutes and finally saw a server who apologized for the long wait. I ordered the 16 oz NY Strip steak with mashed potatoes and a Caesar salad to start. The salad was too wilted and over saturated with a creamy Caesar dressing. I was hungry so I soldiered on to try and eat it. The bread and butter provided was warm and inviting, I forgot to ask what kind of French bread it was. The steak arrived soon after and was expertly grilled to medium and nicely seasoned. The potatoes were adequate yet a bit too salty for my taste. I finished my meal with their creme brûlée which was portioned too small but was tasty. The only big concern I experienced was that my server never had turned to my table to inquire if I needed a beverage refill or even to offer to re replenish the bread I devoured. The restaurant wasn't busy as it was lunch time yet she all but vanished. read more

The steak was alright, but overall the food wasn't the best. For the prices they're charging, I definitely expected better quality and flavor. The pricing is pretty crazy for what you get. At that price point, the food should really stand out, and unfortunately it didn't for me. read more
