Service: The service was a bit slow, but understandable due to the popularity of this location. Food: The food was top notch and delicious! Unfortunately, this place permanently closed. I hope Salt Bae can sprinkle some love back into reopening.

Started the night with cocktails, and I can say, the Ambrosia is delicious. It has a tequila base with coconut cream and passion fruit. Just very good. The Light My Fire was a nice show as it cooked our and is kit on fire, but the first didn't match that is the Ambrosia. So, with DineLA, we were given bread and butter at the table. The bread was actually more they basic and had a nice flavor to it. For our appetizer, I ordered the steak tartar. On the menu, it had a lot going on with Dijon mustard, chili sauce, shallots, cognac, etc, but I can't say so if there ingredients were noticable in the flavor profile or on the pallet. But paying that on the potato crisps was still a decent bite. The salmon tartar was decent as well but didn't necessarily stand out. The real winner was the meat sushi with avocado cream and parmesan. Totally unexpected and very good! In terms of entrees, we tried a little of everything. I had the wagyu NY steak, cooked medium rare. It was cooked very well on the inside, could have had a better crust on the outside. And they give you your own side of kosher salt so you can "salt bae" it yourself. You also had a choice of side between mashed potatoes and mushrooms. I got the mushrooms and I'm very glad I did. They were very good with 2-3 tired of mushrooms in the medley. The prime NY steak was ok, it didn't really stand out, and the wagyu burger was also decent but, in Los Angeles, with so many great burgers, you really need to step your game up it you want to be noticed, and this burger did not accomplish that. With dessert, there were four options. I choose the San Sebastian Cheesecake, and, for our table, no one really loved it. It is definitely not your standard cheesecake, much less sweet and without that nice graham cracker crust you come to know and love. There was a chocolate sauce on half of it which gave it a little something extra, but it really was not a hit for our table. The pistachio baklava came with a show as the assembled it, but the energy of the show to assemble the baklava was better then the baklava itself. Overall, a nice experience, staff was nice and attentive to our take and our needs, but the food just didn't hit as we all hoped it would.

Each sandwich compentent and layer made this a memorable sandwich. The pepper was spicy enough that complemented the rich and flavorful wagyu cheesesteak filling. The sesame roll added a nice texture, and it was sturdy enough to keep the filling intact with each bite. The chips (4 stars) were delicious that came with the cheesesteak. My brother and I also shared an order of fries (4 stars) that is cooked beef tallow like Hiho. The Aged Pear Martini (5 stars) cocktail was refreshing. The bartender warned it's sweet, but I thought it had the right amount of sweetness. We arrived just before the dinner rush. The bar gets busy fulfilling drink orders for the entire restaurant and serving cheesesteaks. The service was 4 stars. I would definitely return.

The manager was kind to bring a hot plate so that we can make our steaks more cooked and warm. Garlic bread was surprisingly good, the best dish we tried.

I had been with co-workers 12 years ago. We enjoyed it, but I just thought the prime rib lacked flavor. Well that all changed last night! Our meal was excellent!! We had: Prime Rib, Mash, Yorkshire Pudding, Creamed Spinach, Spinning Salad, Mac and Cheese, Crab Cake Appetizer, a See's Candies Sundea and English Trifle for dessert. Ok, I may have had better Crab Cakes and Yorkshire Pudding, but they were still quite good. Everything else was outstanding! My girlfriend is on the picky side and she loved her experience. As for our friend, he really enjoyed himself as well. Best thing about our dinner was our server Fiona. Management needs to treat her like gold and hope she never leaves. Fiona and her assistant were amazing! One of the best servers I've ever encountered in my entire life! I have to admit; I was quite concerned about the service going in. My first experience our server was terrible! She didn't know if she was coming or going and mixing up orders. Anyway, there was a Latino gentleman handling orders in the bar, he was super friendly. I wish I knew his name. AND.... if you like an Old Fashioned, Lawry's makes a killer one! Best part about it, I got one at a Happy Hour price for $10. I just don't give out 5-star reviews casually. A business really has to earn it and Lawry's delivered. This is definitely a once in a while splurge, but we will be back for sure!!

Parking is valet only or you can try to get lucky finding nearby street parking. We enjoyed the shrimp and corn fritters, that was recommended by our server. It was packed with shrimp pieces and went so well with the sauce. The crabcakes are on the smaller side but also delicious! My partner and I decided to share the Lawry cut, which was plenty for us. It comes with the infamous cold spinning salad, mashed potatoes, and yorkshire pudding. I loved how cold the salad was, served with a cold fork- but the dressing was a bit heavy. The prime rib was not too salty and well seasoned and went well with the horseradish. I also never had yorkshire pudding before, but it was served hot and super flaky! The truffle mac and cheese is a must! Coming from someone that gets icked out by cheese fast, I could honestly eat this mac and cheese by myself. They use freshly shaved truffle- instead of must places using just the oil, giving you a nice truffle flavor that went well with melty cheese. Lastly for dessert, we had the English triffle, which was not too sweet, light and airy- def get the vanilla scoop with it too. We tried items from the mocktail menu such as the paloma and a sour (dont remember name), but I would skip it. It didn't taste good... so if you are a nondrinker stick to the sodas. Service was friendly but I do think there is room for improvement in terms of attentiveness- there were times where we were ready to order/looking for service.

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed warmly by Joy at the front, and our server, Alex, made the evening feel truly special.

Every detail of our experience stood out, and it quickly became our favorite restaurant of the trip. Safe to say Dante blew every other place we visited out of the water. We can't wait to come back!

Unfortunately, we had a really disappointing experience at Dante. We had dinner on Saturday, 10/3…read moreat 6 PM for a party of six and were celebrating a birthday. It took over an hour for our food to come out. Whenever we asked our waiter for an update, he seemed annoyed and would just tell us, "probably another six or seven minutes," rather than actually checking on the status of our food. He also hardly checked in on our table, and we had to ask for drink refills instead of them being offered. At one point, he even spilled food on our table, and overall the service felt inattentive and dismissive. We also had to remind him multiple times that we were celebrating a birthday, which was frustrating considering it was supposed to be a special dinner. For the type of restaurant Dante presents itself as, I expected much better service. Waiting over an hour for our food would have been frustrating on its own, but the lack of communication and the attitude from our waiter made the experience significantly worse. Unfortunately, the service really put a damper on what was supposed to be a birthday celebration.

From the service to the drinks to the food, they consistently deliver! Their drinks are STRONG, and the presentation is a solid 10/10. Everything feels so well put together, and I love that they pay attention to the little details. Now, as a girly who NEEDS crab cakes at every steakhouse, you already know I had to get them! And the steak paired with their soft, creamy mashed potatoes? A BIG YES! Everything just hits the spot. And don't even get me started on the desserts because they're SO good! I didn't get a picture this time, but trust me, save room for dessert! Whether you choose to dine indoors or sit outside and enjoy the Beverly Hills atmosphere, both options are amazing. They even have outdoor heaters, which is such a nice touch when it gets chilly! They also offer valet parking, making your visit that much more convenient. Ocean Prime is definitely one of those places I can keep coming back to. Great service, strong drinks, delicious food, and an atmosphere that makes the whole night feel special. If you're looking for a steakhouse in Beverly Hills, this is definitely one to add to your list!

Wow, how this place went downhill. After a prior good experience years ago, we went back…read more However, it was a huge disappointment. Came with a group. To start the hot calamari appetizer came out cold. The meals were served at different times and my girlfriend got her other appetizer 10 minutes after mine. My cocktail was made incorrectly. I asked for a new one and they never brought it even after I went to talk to the manager Nora. I also mentioned to her to please change the ahi tuna from medium rare to cooked medium as I ordered for my girlfriend when she went to the bathroom. They were understaffed for our party and it took so long to get our food. 30 minutes later, the food came out. The tuna was cooked medium rare. We couldn't believe it. It is as if Nora didn't even hear my 2 requests or ignored them. Unacceptable. The seabass was the only good part of the meal. Potatoes and veggies were very average. Our only server had an attitude and negative vibe as she seemed overwhelmed for our group of about 15. On the way out, I met with the other manager Robert and told him about some of the issues. As we were walking out to leave and drive, he offered me a drink right before I was going to drive to make up for the drink that was never brought back. I am very confident the drink was charged on the bill that one of the others paid for as we contributed to the host. I then called to complain and the GM Yuri just continued to make excused and make up a story as he was not even there saying the food always comes out at the same time and the drink was taken off the bill but he wasn't aware of the drink issue til I talked to him days after the dinner. He didn't care and seemed to not want my business as he made zero effort to me for all the mishaps since I wasn't the one who paid the actual bill even though I was part of the party and contributed. They have lost me as a customer and I have told the host of the party about all of the problems. What a bummer and sour time for a place that should have exceptional service and food for their fine dining.

We were treated like absolute royalty, and it was our first time dining here! Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, took his time with us, and we really appreciated that. The ambience was incredible! We weren't seated in the center of the restaurant but had our own little nook with candles and a chandelier. It was very nice! I also enjoyed seeing the chefs cooking as we walked to our table. The attention to detail really elevated the experience. From being offered a choice between dark or white towels, to receiving a chilled fork and knife with my salad, and even a warm, rosemary-scented towel at the end of our meal. It's those little touches that made everything feel so special! The music wasn't the best, but they played some good songs here and there. Our food, though, was AMAZING! From the warm bread we guzzled down while our waiter explained the menu, to the crispy shrimp, potatoes, salad, and our entrées, everything was delicious! Our waiter even treated us to dessert for my husband's birthday and surprised us with extra cookies on our way out! I also appreciated them calling the next day to thank me for dining with them. Although they do ask for a review, I don't mind because the food, service, and ambience were genuinely that good!
