    McKendrick's is a solid, classic steakhouse with a traditional fine dining atmosphere. The service was amazing and our server made great suggestions. We started off with the tempura lobster. It was fried perfectly. We ordered the salmon and the sea bass, both served with sauces on the side. The fish was flavorful enough on its own though. The sides were also tasty, with the creamed spinach being my favorite. The mac and cheese had a few red pepper flakes that added a nice touch. That said, while everything was prepared correctly and tasted good, nothing really stood out as memorable.

    While experience was amazing. As a large group of 12+ the service did not slip at all. The food was amazing from the ribeye to the lamb chops, the chicken kabobs, wine service, the desserts. Everything.

    Amazing service from our server Mark, everything he suggested was delicious. The 3 of us had the seafood tower (shrimp cocktail, crab cakes and tempura lobster), 1/2 dozen raw oysters, filet, au gratin potatoes and ended with the turtle gelato pie.

    I came to McKendrick's for a date night and had an excellent dining experience. The service was wonderful and the staff was very attentive, making sure everything was to our liking. The restaurant ambiance was dimly lit and sultry. We had the crab cake appetizer, which is honestly small for the cost but the taste was splendid. I had the lemon drop martini with sugar rim and it was well-crafted. For the main course, we each had the 8oz. Center cut filet with a side of asparagus. The steak cuts were perfect and flavorful with a side of bearnaise. 10/10 highly recommend!

    The service is fantastic. Very upscale and nice atmosphere. I started with the lobster bisque. It had a nice flavor but it wasn't as thick as bisque should be. My parents split the side baked potato, fully loaded, however it came out like warm, if that. I ordered the side brussel sprouts and they were fair. They had parmesan and bacon on them, so they had great flavor, however, they were not fully cooked and definitely nowhere near crispy, as advertised. All three of our steaks were under cooked and had to be sent back. They also discharged the amount of the full bottle of wine from the menu advertised price. For the cost of the food, I expected slightly better. Service was top notch.

    I've been here a few times for an impromptu drink and snack at the bar. The bartenders are always nice and provide well made drinks. Since I always sit at the bar, I've only been in casual clothes and no one says anything. However, I have seen other in the dining room far more dressed up. I've only tried seafood appetizers here. The seafood tower allows you to sample a few different items. So far the best thing I've eaten here has been the BBQ Shrimp. The sauce on the shrimp is really smoky and tasty. Everything else that I've tasted has been ok but not very memorable. I would recommend coming here for drinks. I will come back and try the full dining experience to see if the entrees are good.

    Seafood tower

    The place is a little hidden, it's on the side, almost back ,of a strip mall we did two different gps and only found it by being persistent. Parking is self parking, lots of space available. Don't be put off by the menu only having a few steaks listed, the waiter has an equally long list of specials, which was so long we had to ask him to repeat his list. We started off with a seafood tower, was nice but pricy for what you got on the tower, for example we each got 1 chilled shrimp, 1 oysters and 1/2 a lobster tail. For my entree I had prime rib, was very good and large enough so I could not finish, my wife had a filet stuffed with fried shrimp, both item not on the printed menu. We also had the mushroom risotto, very good, and the Brussels sprouts not as good. Here is a tip, ask for a booth instead of a table, they look a lot more comfortable and roomy.

    Is it quiet? I am looking for a quiet steakhouse for 40 year anniversary.

    Pretty quiet

    AWESOME Waiter Bobby Haddad? He waited on us 12 months ago and others he's taken care it's been over a year . Can you just me let me know if someone might know if he's still working there.. thanks.. TCWalkers

    yes he is

    How is their happy hour? Good for a small group or mainly couples?

    Couples. The only spaces for more than 2 or 4 people are actual sit down spaces. Overall, not a happy hour type place, it's not festive, it's more formal.

This is my second time here and both times have been so good. We came as a party of 3 and left so happy and full. I love Mexican food holy moly We got the queso and octopus shrimp ceviche as starters. The queso was 3 cheeses: American, cotija, and Oaxacan. They heated it up under a salamander so it was nice and crispy on top, while being gooey all throughout. Also came with a couple of nice salsas. The ceviche was not my favorite because I don't prefer raw(ish) octopus, but the squid ink sauce was very flavorful. For our mains the 3 of us shared the red snapper, tuetano with lamb, and the mixteco poblano pepper. Red snapper had a nice charred smoky flavor from being grilled. Was more meaty than flaky in texture. It was our second time getting the mixteco poblano pepper and it hits. Highly recommend eating with some of the salsa as well if you get queso. The duck carnitas in it wasn't particularly duck-y today, but still very good. Best dish is definitely the tuetano. The bone marrow is so incredibly flavorful with the blue corn tortillas. Add some of the pickled onions and it's hard to go wrong with that flavor combo of salt, fat, and acid. if you're going to order one thing, I'd order this and share with a friend and tbh it's enough to be filling. For dessert we got the volcan de chocolate (basically lava cake). The lava cake and coconut ice cream combo is fantastic. You get bits of coconut flakes as you eat! Fair warning it isn't the brownie texture you may be used to, it's a bit more cakey. Amazing service the whole night! Almost got our cars booted because we forgot to validate until 1.5 hours in but luckily we were fine. The staff let us know they have been booting cars though so be wary!

We kicked things off with a couple of incredible Mezcal cocktails that were perfectly balanced and full of flavor. For lunch, we ordered the ribeye tacos and the chicken with mole sauce, and both dishes were outstanding. The ribeye tacos were tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, while the mole sauce on the chicken was rich, authentic, and unforgettable. A huge shout-out to our server, Oscar, who made the entire experience even better. He was attentive, personable, knowledgeable about the menu, and provided the kind of service that keeps you coming back. The ambiance deserves just as much praise. The music, décor, and overall atmosphere created a sophisticated, grown-and-sexy vibe that made it perfect for a relaxed date lunch. It's one of those places where you can enjoy amazing food, great cocktails, and simply take your time. Casi Cielo has definitely earned a spot on our list of favorite restaurants. We can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu. Highly recommend!

Making reservations is really simple via OpenTable. They have Valley parking which cost around eight dollars, but there is also a parking garage where you can pay by the hour. They have a pretty large dining room with an area for more private dining as well and they also have seating at the oyster bar. This is my fourth visit and each visit the food has been really good. For our appetizers we got my favorite the shrimp à la Plancha, but I did notice that the bread that comes with the dish has gotten significantly smaller. For dinner we had the fingerling potatoes, which I was not a fan of. They were pretty hard. I got the red fish for my entrée and we got the collard greens for our vegetable and the greens tasted amazing. My friend ordered the She Crab Soup and Fried Oysters and said they were both delicious. I missed out on the Peach cake (out of season) but they had Apple and I liked it.

At our table, we had the spicy kale salad, fried oysters she crab soup, and blackened red fish.

If you're having trouble making up your mind, listen to me right now get the freaking blackened red fish, OK?! I almost forgot we also had dessert.

The staff outside greeted me warmly and checked me in, but once inside, the reception felt noticeably different. The staff seemed a little less friendly and somewhat snappy, which didn't quite match the welcoming atmosphere STK presents. Thankfully, once I was seated, my experience completely turned around. I was dining alone, and my server, Ana, was phenomenal. She was attentive without hovering, personable, and made excellent recommendations. The drink she suggested was delicious, and she also recommended the Brussels sprouts, which were amazing. I ordered the ribeye medium-well, and it was cooked just right. Even the bread with the butter and blue cheese was good. The rest of the service team was attentive as well. My plates were cleared promptly, and two managers stopped by during dinner to make sure everything was going well. As a solo diner, I especially appreciated receiving the same attention and level of service as any other table. STK is definitely on the pricier side, and the menu is largely à la carte, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. Still, if you're looking for an upscale dining experience and don't mind spending a little more, I recommend trying it.
