    Cheesesteak. Hard pass.
    Andrea E.

    I'm going to be the 10th dentist here and lead with the fact that I think the cheesesteak is incredibly overrated. I can confidently say I'll never order it again. Now, let me explain. We came to Matū for the Dinner for Two, and everything we were served was impeccable. The seasoning was spot on, the salt level was perfect, and every cut of meat was cooked beautifully. I'm a big fan of my steak on the rarer side, and Matū absolutely delivered. The braised beef cheek was probably the highlight of the night for me. It was unbelievably tender, rich, and one of the most memorable bites of the meal. After finishing the Dinner for Two, which really showcased the quality of the meat, we decided to split a cheesesteak since "that's what they're known for." When it arrived, it looked incredible. Unfortunately, that's where the excitement ended for me. The meat tasted oddly oily. I'm not sure if it was the cut, the preparation, or even the cheese, but it came across as heavy and greasy compared to the beautifully simple, clean flavors of the steak dinner. It was also underseasoned, and I found myself tasting the sesame seeds on the bread more than the filling itself. The chips were fresh and crunchy at first, but they lost their texture surprisingly quickly, so eat those immediately. Overall, I absolutely loved the steaks, sides, and cocktails, and I'll happily be back for those. But as for the cheesesteak? Once was more than enough.

    Matu is a dream for meat lovers, with a menu centred entirely around Australian wagyu. Nothing showcases that commitment better than the Matu dinner ($87 per person; minimum 2 persons), a multi-course meal that highlights different cuts of the cow in every single dish. Things begin with a 24-hour bone broth shooter, looking like a glass of gravy but tasting like concentrated umami. Rich, warm, and deeply comforting, it's remarkable how delicious it is despite containing only broth. The steak tartare follows with freshly chopped beef, egg yolk, and what the menu describes as a "Japanese accent," possibly togarashi. Whatever the seasoning blend is, it works beautifully. The tartare is incredibly flavourful despite its minimalist presentation. Thin, lightly toasted crostini accompany it without overpowering the beef, though I did ask for extra slices just to finish every bite. The eight-hour braised beef cheek was one of my favourite courses. So tender and moist that you could practically eat it with a spoon, the richness is balanced by a silky celeriac purée that ties everything together beautifully. It's the kind of dish that immediately makes you want another serving. Even their '47' salad leans heavily into the restaurant's beef-first philosophy, featuring more steak than greens. The 3-ounce centre-cut filet was impressively tender for such a lean cut, and although it arrived rarer than I'd typically order, it worked perfectly. At Matu, diners aren't asked how they'd like their steak cooked. The kitchen prepares it to the chef's specifications, trusting the quality of the beef and their technique. As for the romaine leaves underneath, they're coated in a signature dressing that tastes remarkably similar to Caesar, despite being made without dairy or eggs, then finished with a generous showering of Parmigiano. After all that beef, you'd think sharing a 12-ounce ribeye would feel excessive. Somehow, it didn't. The steak is prepared simply, allowing the quality of the wagyu to speak for itself, with crispy grilled broccolini providing a garlicky contrast alongside it. A small dish of salt is presented at the beginning of the meal, though Matu intentionally keeps the seasoning restrained. Personally, I appreciated the lighter touch and never felt the need to add more. Dessert arrives in the form of Scott's flourless chocolate cake ($12), dense and rich without being overly sweet beyond a dusting of powdered sugar. After an entire menu devoted to beef, I almost found myself jokingly wondering whether wagyu somehow made its way into dessert too.

    I had dinner here and was blown away by every single dish I ordered. 1) steak tartare, Japanese accent 4.5/5 - great acidic taste. Only wish I could have had a bit more of the rusk dipper. 2) beef croquettas 4/5: freshly fried, nicely breaded, the inside is beef with a cooked beef texture. 3) mistake mushroom 4/5: tastes pretty good even though it was likely just mushroom with oil that was airfryed. 4) grilled octopus 4.5/5: potatos were sour and salty but somehow this works. Octopus was scrumptious. 5) prime rib cut 4.5/5: there is no choice of doneness here but it was good. 6) steak salad 4.5/5: salad had a good vinegary taste that paired well with the steak. Total came to $210 before service fee but it was so worth it.

    Matū Philly Cheesesteak
    Ryan S.

    We have had the tasting menu here before, but we wanted to come for lunch to try the famous Philly cheesesteak. We were seated quickly on a Friday after a 10 minute wait and the waiter was very nice. Our cheesesteaks took a bit longer and so they gave us the chips on the house which was a nice touch. The cheesesteak was what we came to try, and our verdict is that it is a great cheesesteak, but we prefer more classic cheesesteaks. The beef quality was good, but we wanted the cheese to be more flavorful. The bun is also crisp, which we were not used to. It has a lot of sesame seeds so if you like that, this is the cheesesteak for you. Overall, we prefer the classic menu at Matū, but the cheesesteak was worth a try!

    MATU WOW. This lil joint had been on my radar for a while..at least 2 or 3 years. Finally crossed it off the list, and it was quite the joyous and memorable dining experience. I really gotta respect their dedication to red meat and the holy art of cooking a damn good steak. This place is essentially what I'm looking for in a restaurant. Basically hits on all cylinders and checks off all the critical boxes. I don't want to sound all dramatic and such, but I'm dying to go back and try all the other items I didn't have, as well as check out the bar experience. I spoke to some locals outside before they opened, and they weren't just lovely -- they also painted a pretty picture of what the overall vibe is here. It's clear a lot of people in the Beverly Hills and Hollywood Hills area love coming here very frequently. Our server, who I assumed is named Nolan because that's what's shown on the receipt, was very accommodating, kind, and easy to talk to. I think he did a fantastic job dealing with my difficult, picky gf. Haha. I can't say anything was less than stellar. The croquettes in that celery purée stuff were phenomenal. Garlic bread was seasoned and baked to perfection. The bone broth sipper was nourishing af. French fries were perhaps the best I've had in years. Broccolini was fresh, high quality, and complimented the steak very well. I'm bummed we only got to try just the ribeye when it came to the cuts, but my gf did not want to order anything under medium or medium rare that night, so that was a bummer. It's her loss! The panna cotta was the creamiest sweet treat in all of LaLa Land. This is a great place, and it's a top-tier steakhouse. SoCal sometimes lacks places of this caliber that NY, Chicago, and SF / Napa have, but this place is a very close contender to some of the top cream-of-the-crop, steak-centered restaurants in the country. Chef's kiss, Señoritos and Señoritas.

    Steak Tartare
    Angela H.

    Amazing food, service, atmosphere. 10/10 recommend for date night or a special dinner.

    8-Hour Braised Beef Cheek, celeriac puree

    Great food, service, & ambiance. Japanese Caesar and 8-Hour Braised Beef Cheek were standouts .

    Gin Martini with Blue Cheese Olives
    Evan W.

    Having experienced the Cheesesteak Lunch solo and incurring my wife's wrath for not bringing her along, we returned to Matu for our Anniversary Dinner. The Host welcomed us graciously, wished us a Happy Anniversary, and seated us immediately at a cozy table in the corner of the busy dining room. The serving team quickly approached, filling our water glasses and again welcoming us with big smiles. We'd had some cocktails before arriving, so my wife decided to stick with a Diet Coke for dinner, but I ordered a martini that was perfectly poured, icy cold, and topped with very fresh, blue cheese olives--a great start. Interestingly, Matu does not offer a filet mignon à la carte. The only way to order a filet (my wife's favorite cut) is to order the Filet Dinner, which is a 4-course tasting menu. Perhaps they just can't get enough filet at the quality they insist on -- I don't know -- but we decided to order the Filet Dinner and share the intermediary courses, with me ordering a small Ribeye and Creamed Spinach as my entree. The meal begins with a small cup of 24-hour Bone Broth that arrives steaming hot and packed with beefy flavor. The rich broth actually coats your tongue a bit, and the flavor lingers nicely. Next would have been Steak Tartare, but my wife substituted the Japanese Caesar, which was exceptionally tasty, with flavors in the dressing I simply couldn't place, but would happily eat for days. The last of the appetizers was a duo of Beef Croquettas -- also rich and flavorful with a savory sauce that amped up the richness even further. I don't know if I could eat an entire order (the full appetizer comes with 4 croquettas). Finally, on to the steak. My wife's Filet was melt-in-your-mouth tender, with a deep flavor. My own Ribeye was equally tender, with a rich flavor from the marbling. Both steaks were served the house way, which is warm and red in the middle, with a lovely crust from live fire. These folks know how to make a steak, that's for sure. Creamed spinach was much the same as most places... still, very satisfying and a great accompaniment. For dessert, we ordered the Strawberry Panna Cotta, which was served with a celebratory candle for our anniversary. Mildly sweet with a slight tang from the berries, this was a light and refreshing way to cap the meal. I have to say, this was an excellent dinner with fine service in a wonderful atmosphere. Additionally, the prices are quite reasonable for the location and the quality of the food, and our dinner here was $200 LESS than our Valentine's dinner at Cipriani, so I have to say this would be your much better bet for a celebratory night out. Though my wife insists we come back soon for lunch so she can get that amazing cheesesteak... and I'm totally willing to join her LOL!

    Ribeye Ribeye or NY Dinner for 2
    Tasnim C.

    I definitely need to come back to Matu again! My husband and I had the Ribeye Dinner for 2, which had four courses. Every single course was great. Included was: 1) bone broth, 2) steak tartare (I subbed my portion for the 47 salad), 3) Picanha skewers, and 4) ribeye steak and Japanese Caesar to share. Absolutely no notes. Our favorite course was definitely the last, with the ribeye and Japanese Caesar. Everything was delicious and we felt the price was reasonable for the quality and variety of dishes. Our server, Jasmine, was also great. Great ambiance in the restaurant as well! We made a reservation so didn't have any issues with waiting. Our service was also pretty quick. We used the valet parking for convenience. We definitely would like to come back and try more from Matu!

    Ribeye or NY Dinner for 2
    Nemrah A.

    I decided to try Matu for their halal options. We confirmed with the waiter that almost everything is halal except the beef croquettes and braised beef cheek. The waiter and staff were friendly and professional. The restaurant itself is what you would expect of a steakhouse. Elegant but crowded. We got the ribeye dinner for 2 and here's what I thought of each dish: 1. Beef bone broth 3/5 - this comes very hot so took a minute or two to actually drink it. It was good but nothing more than a normal bone broth. 2. Beef tartare 4/5 - I was nervous eating this one as I never had raw beef before. The flavor however was very delicious and reminded me a bit like sashimi. While it's not something I would reach for just because of the thought of raw beef I am so glad I tried it as someone who only eats halal. It was very delicious. 3. Picanha skewers 4/5 - the meat itself was very fatty and charred on the outside really well. I could easily pull off a piece from the skewer. The sauces were an interesting pair and went well with the skewers. 4. Japanese Caesar iceberg 5/5 - as someone who loves cheese and Caesar dressing, this was absolutely delicious! It's basically half of a lettuce head in which they spread the dressing and cheese on top. The dressing itself had a good tang and I appreciate the amount of cheese that they put on top. Would get again. 5. Ribeye to share 3/5 - this was a good ribeye. It was warm throughout and went well with the sides. They only allow for one temperature but I waited said he can ask to have it a little more cooked as I am more of a medium steak person. I would say when they have side dishes that shine the steak did feel a little lackluster. Addition twice baked potato 5/5 - this was not included in the standard ribeye for 2. We added this on top and am I glad we did. It was so good. Crispy on the outside and soft like mash potatoes on the inside. I would come back just for this. Overall, Matu is a nice restaurant to go to if you want to do a fancy dinner.

    Matū Philly Cheesesteak and House-made Wagyu Potato Chips
    Peter C.

    I can see why this is often rated the best cheesesteak in LA! The freshly baked sesame roll takes the sandwich to the next level for me and adds a nice depth of flavor in each bite. Plenty of wagyu beef that is seasoned well and cooked perfectly. The cooper sharp cheese is a nice tough but not overpowering. Roasted long hot pepper was not hot, but it would be nice if it was. I'd skip out on the house-made potato chips next time as they were overly salted and nothing special. Service was great and quick with lunch being bar seating only. Will be back for more and now I want to try the dinner!

    Shrimp Cocktail (Kauai origin)
    Linda C.

    We did the "Lock, Stock & Barrel" experience for 4 people at $115 per person, and it was fantastic. We also added a few extra dishes, including the maitake mushrooms and picanha skewers, and everything was absolutely delicious. Between the four of us, we enjoyed several cocktails and two bottles of wine, bringing our total to about $1,035. The food, drinks, and overall experience made for a truly memorable steak night.

    So cute! Great reheating instructions! Thank you Matú
    Cristina Z.

    My husband had a work lunch here today. Sadly, I did not go :__-( It was for two people, and they both got a cheesesteak and shared a salad and potato chips. Hubby brought me home a sandwich :-) :-) :-) SO sweet!!!! So, naturally, I jumped onto to yelp to let you know how it is to go.... Excellent! lol I have eaten at the bar but this is the first time brought home and reheated it. I can confirm that it is just as great! Why? Because they give you reheating instructions and they are perfect! Sandwich is wrapped with a scan sticker that tells you what to do. I re wrapped the sandwich in foil and placed in my air fryer on the bake function and it was deeeeelish!!!!!! OMG! This sandwich is my favorite steak sandwich. So nice to know it's just as yummy to go. I would recommend it to anyone. Great restaurant....dinner too!

Once we mentioned that we were there for the Girls Brunch, it honestly felt like the demeanor toward our table changed. The service was extremely slow. We waited around 30 minutes between some of the food items, our drinks were forgotten, and we were rarely checked on throughout the meal. I'm usually pretty understanding when restaurants are busy or short-staffed, but that didn't seem to be the case during our visit. Between the long waits, forgotten drinks, and lack of even a simple "How is everything?", the experience became frustrating, especially since we were there to celebrate birthdays. Unfortunately, the food and drinks were mediocre as well, so the overall experience just didn't feel worth the time. I really wanted to enjoy this place and the Girls Brunch seemed like such a fun idea, but based on our experience, I unfortunately won't be returning.

    The best dining experience in Beverly Hills I've ever had!…read more From the moody decor to the food to the service, everything was so well curated and refined. The caviar omakase is the must order thing here. Everything is very small bites, but if you are mostly there for drinks then à la carte is a good option. The omakase was fantastic - nice sized portions of caviar, paired with thoughtful items like a mini lobster roll, a salmon burger, and even ice cream. The drinks are also delightful - you can taste the notes of every ingredient and nothing was too overpowering or unbalanced. But the service is by far the main reason we'll be back. The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly, on top of being knowledgeable and presenting the menu in a well practiced way. They made this birthday dinner so special and went above and beyond. They do automatically add gratuity but I would've tipped more than that if possible.

We ended up at the Maybourne Bar in the Maybourne hotel, a solid B+ lobby bar that I'd visit again under similar circumstances. The space was attractive but the vibe was strange, if not uncomfortable. Just weirdly bright lighting and a different crowd from the usual L.A. bar scene (hotel, Beverly Hills). It was pretty quiet at 10:00 on a Saturday night, and we were able to grab seats at the bar. Service was fast and polite. We ordered a Midas Touch and a Big in Japan, both decent cocktails that cost a full $30 apiece. The Midas Touch was a colorful spicy margarita with El Tesoro Maybourne Edition Reposado, Empirical Ayuuk, Grand Marnier Louis Alexandre, saffron, lemon, and honey. Big in Japan was a Gold Rush variation with Hibiki Harmony, sudachi honey, lemon, sansho pepper, and yuzu bitters. There are better, more interesting cocktail bars all over L.A., but I'd recommend the Maybourne Bar if you're staying at the hotel or otherwise looking for an upscale bar in downtown Beverly Hills. You can get food, too, though most of it seems to involve caviar.

Nothing was too heavy and the portions were all manageable, not too small or too large. The outdoor seats were very cushy and comfortable, it's perfect for sitting with your fur baby, and the restaurant provided water bowls upon request as well. Servers were all really friendly and the food did not take long to come out, though it wasn't too busy that Sunday afternoon around 3pm. Would definitely come back here to try the cocktails with other fusion bites next time we're in the area!

    The restaurant itself is very cute, but the menu is a bit all over the place--sushi, Latin dishes,…read moreand pasta. We ordered rolls, salads, ceviche, and pasta, but everything was just okay--nothing memorable. We had to ask for wasabi and ginger three times, and the server seemed confused. Service overall was friendly but very slow, and the restaurant wasn't even full. The pasta was a miss, and the "salad" wasn't really a salad. Drinks were the highlight--great martinis and well-made cocktails. That said, our bill was over $600, and none of us left full. Portions are tiny. Go for drinks and ambiance, but I'd skip the food.

    Dining at Dante in Beverly Hills was nothing short of incredible! We were in California celebrating…read moremy cousin's bachelorette weekend, and after a few underwhelming dining experiences, Dante completely exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed warmly by Joy at the front, and our server, Alex, made the evening feel truly special. The service was exceptional, the ambiance was beautiful, and the views were the perfect finishing touch. 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!

    Honey Bee Cocktail 8.83/10- made with patron silver, mr black, amontillado, raspberry syrup,…read morechocolate bitters, and salted honey cream. This was pretty strong but I liked the sweetness of the raspberry syrup and honey cream, it balanced everything out really well. The amontillado added this really unique nutty depth that I wasn't expecting, and the chocolate bitters gave it a subtle richness that paired so well with the salted honey cream on top. It almost had a dessert like quality to it bc of how creamy and sweet it was, but the patron silver still gave it a nice kick. And Dante can also put any photo you want on their martinis which is such a cute touch! Such a fun and personalized detail that made the drink even more special. I thought this was such a unique concept and it made for such a good picture too. Definitely elevates the whole experience and makes it feel so much more custom. I also absolutely love the view here, it's so pretty and adds so much to the whole experience. Instagram: @hungrytamale

The secret entrance is a ton of fun and the ambience is dark and mysterious and transports you to a land far away, all while not leaving LA. The drinks are spectacularly delicious and innovative. There is a theme (and entire experience) to each drink. The food is likewise excellent. The hot dogs from Tail o'the Pup are some of the best in the city and you can order directly from the downstairs hot spot, or order from the tailored menu to fit the tiki theme. The wait staff was super attentive. This is a great date spot or somewhere to come with friends. Just remember to book your reservations on Resy and then check the website for knowledge on how to get into the secret entrance. This is a top experience in LA!

I love a tiki bar (usually a wine drinker, but a dry martini or a good tiki drink, will speak to me at times!) and this place does not disappoint. Service is easy and the vibes are so fun. They have fun gimmicky drinks (Captain's Inner Circle!) and the old stand bys (exceptional Mai Thai.) The decor is also so fun (Jim Morrison's old studio) and you can order hot dogs from downstairs. Only reason they aren't 5 stars? They implement seating time limits, even when it's not super busy. I 100% understand they have to have turnover, but I would gladly pay a little extra, to hold a longer reservation! Street parking, but don't drive...get a driver or a Waymo!

    Where do all the locals go? Well, the Bar Next Door is a great place! Nice, clean and…read morefriendly... Their craft cocktail menu is extensive, interesting and delicious. The restrooms are clean and cute Parking is slim to none! What do you expect? It's on the Sunset Strip. I can't speak to the food as we stopped in for a quick beverage before heading down the road for our dinner... But what they were serving to other patrons looked and smelled delicious. It's small. Grab a seat at the bar (which is really about it...) and start your journey to the craft cocktails with one of their friendly staff and bartenders. Be there or be square

    The whole mythology of this place being a "neighborhood gem" is officially dead. Whatever charm it…read moreonce had has completely evaporated. What's left is a joyless little room with indifferent management and service that can feel actively hostile. It can get very crowded, but... The energy is just off. It no longer feels warm or welcoming, and the type of crowd it attracts now can make the cramped space feel actually menacing. The staff also becomes strangely abrasive and aloof. Especially the younger male bartender who works on Fridays. I would never go again. Even trying to order another drink somehow feels like you're inconveniencing them. It's genuinely sad how they've managed to ruin what used to be a good thing. There is absolutely no reason to put up with this place when you could go to Cecconi's, the Tower Bar, Bar 1200 at the Sunset Marquis, Jones Hollywood, Laurel Hardware, Ysabel, the Roger Room, On the Rox, or Mic's instead. The name a few! Any one of them will give you a better room, a better atmosphere, and a much better evening. TBH, I would rather endure the mechanical-bull chaos of Saddle Ranch than spend another night dealing with the bizarre vibe here. That alone should tell you everything. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
