    Cobb salad, Mac n cheese, and truffle fries.
    Katlin W.

    My friend and I were looking for a quick bite after our Pilates class in Uptown Whittier and decided to give Nyx a try. We are so glad we did! We both ordered the Cobb salad and shared the truffle fries and mac & cheese. Everything was absolutely delicious. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. Tommy, the bartender, was especially great. He was attentive, friendly, and very helpful with recommendations and service throughout our visit. The whole experience was awesome and we will definitely be back!

    Now every year I somehow forget to make Mother's Day reservations and we end up with bootleg seats and a long wait line... which is basically my dad's nightmare. So this year I told myself I was going to get it together. I wanted something classy, closer to Downey, and after scrolling Yelp I found NYX Steakhouse. I made an online reservation and was actually excited for Mother's Day for once. Then my dad decided a 6 PM dinner reservation was "too late" and requested lunch instead. So back online I went and changed everything to a 1 PM reservation. Mother's Day comes around, we purposely had a light breakfast thinking we'd be ready for a nice steakhouse lunch.We walk in, everything looks beautiful, we order drinks... and then realize they were only serving brunch, not lunch. Apparently they close at 3 and reopen later for dinner service. Unfortunately brunch wasn't really what we were looking for, so we ended up just having drinks and leaving.The place itself looked really nice and the staff was pleasant, but I do wish that was made a little clearer during the reservation process because it definitely felt like a missed opportunity for what was supposed to be our Mother's Day lunch outing.

    Skirt steak, lamb, pappardelle bolognese
    Vera L.

    Such an aesthetically beautiful, upscale spot with great vibes. Service, the food and drinks we tried here were amazing! The skirt steak with crispy fries came with a delicious chimichurri. The pappardelle bolognese was one of the best I've had as it was rich, meaty, and perfectly sauced. The herb-crusted rack of lamb was also a standout. Honestly, everything was about a 10/10. I did ask for medium rare, but it came out slightly more rare than expected, just a few more seconds cooked and it would've been perfect. They also have a great selection of wines, bubbles, cocktails, and unique beers, with helpful pairing notes on the menu. Definitely worth driving over to check it out, you won't regret it!

    A new steakhouse in the City of Whittier. The decor were aesthetically pleasing with an upscale ambiance. Ordered the Rosemary Ricotta to start , it tasted so good that my party asked for an additional bread. I had the New York Steak as my main course. It was tender and juicy greatly paired with mac and cheese. The Strawberry Margarita has a perfect balance of salty sweet and sour taste. Lastly, ordered the delicious NY cheesecake for dessert. Overall, food tasted great and the service as well. Our server was very attentive and friendly. I had a great dining experience. Highly, recommended.

    Enjoyed a beautiful birthday celebration with my best friend at the new NYX restaurant in lovely Uptown Whittier. We remembered the location as we had visited years ago when it was Nixon. NYX completely revamped the interior. It is beautiful inside... high end, dark and moody. Loved the decor choices. Our server was wonderful. She gave us great options once we learned the kitchen had ran out of our first dinner options. Our steak was delicious as was our lobster Mac n cheese. Our drinks were great. Will need to return!

    We finally tried out Nyx and it was very good. My drink was mighty strong. Love. Started out with a Caesar salad Our server guided me to order the Arrachera and it was so delicious. The bf ordered the prime rib. Our sides were mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese which were decadent. I should've gotten the bread pudding instead of the carrot cake. Minor. The great pours made up for it all. Jason, the owner, came by to say hello. The music was loud, but not too loud. We will definitely be going back soon.

    I came across this Gem while I was in Santa Fe springs and I checked my yelp for a steakhouse nearby. It came up and it was just opening so we stopped in without a reservation. It's in uptown Whittier in a nice location with plenty of parking areas on the street it in a lot . From the Front doorway to the walkway it' is a very good decorative restaurant with a cool looking bar top and hi top tables in the Bar area. And regular nice tables throughout the rest of the place. Service was amazing from Jenifer she was very nice and friendly as was the rest of the staff in the whole place. Met other customers at the bar and they were having a great time just like we did. Had a chance to see lil speak easy after hours bar that was about to open as well It was very nice to meet Jason he was very welcoming and personable. Drinks are very well made and have signature cocktails and as for the food. It's Amazing. Form everything that I seen coming out of the kitchen to tables looked very tasty. Our meal was very good and well made I will be back Cheers!!!

    I love this place so much ! It might be my favorite restaurant now ! Isaiah was a server he was warm and sociable . I appreciated his recommendations. I enjoyed the artichoke hearts with a spicy sauce, they have the best bone marrow with cilantro on it. Mashed potatoes or creamy, but the mac & cheese was so flavorful so tasty !! you've gotta order the mac & cheese. You won't regret it.. The steak was to die, for I love the roasted garlic and the sauce . Mouth watering. Let's talk about the drinks they're known for their martinis. They come with a very chilled glass. They're very cold. I ordered French martini, which is Chambord, with pineapple juice, and vodka And we ordered a lemon drop . I'm fond of the decor and atmosphere. Some other staff members came over and gave us recommendations afterwards on where to go for a late night drink since they were closing when we were there. They have a really nice staff all around. !!

    Biggest Artichoke I've ever seen

A Huge Thank You to Jason and his staff at NYX, especially our server Isiah. The food was delicious. The Chilean Sea Bass was great The ceviche appetizer and crab legs were great.

    My ultimate shout out to Jennifer, Tommy and Hugo ! They treated us with with the utmost respect and hospitality. Jennifer took her time to explain the drinks we wanted. Tommy was diligently working in the back to make sure our needs were met. And Hugo took the time to come greet us and welcome us back. This is our first time coming here and we will definitely be coming back. I came for 1 martini and left with 4 their oysters are fresh and GAF

    We tried Nyx on Sunday for drinks and were impressed. Beautiful presentation, solid cocktails, and very knowledgeable bartenders. We didn't eat this time, but the dishes we saw coming out looked delicious--definitely coming back to try the food. Bonus: they have a happy hour, so we'll be back for that soon.

    The food at nyx was delicious! Had the Bolognese, rack of lamb and skirt steak and all were cooked to perfection and well seasoned. The service was amazing.

    This place doesn't get enough exposure. I might keep it my secret! I don't even need photos. Just go here! The food is piping hot when it comes out. When even the fries are crispy and perfection. Tell me you love your job without telling me you love your job. The service is stellar! They treated me like a queen. David my server knows what he's doing! Give him a raise! Fancy yet laid back Whittier. An affordable steakhouse with immaculate vibes. Don't even get me started on the drinks. Yes they have happy hour! Worth every penny! The drinks are beyond perfect and truly they put their hearts into every piece of your meal. Thank you for giving me hope in this generation that value behind service still exists.

This place instantly became one of my favorites after just one visit. From the moment you walk in, the whole vibe hits you--the moody, neon-lit ambiance sets the tone perfectly. It feels elevated, a little edgy, and honestly just the kind of spot you want to spend your night at. The music is curated so well. Not too loud, not too mellow--just the right balance where you can vibe, have a conversation, and still feel the energy of the room. You can tell they actually care about the experience, not just throwing a playlist together. Now let's talk about the drinks... because that's really where they shine. Every cocktail feels intentional and crafted with care. You can taste the quality immediately--nothing watered down, nothing basic. They have a really cool mix of classic cocktails and modern twists, and even the familiar drinks feel elevated. It's the kind of place where you want to try something new every round because you trust the bartenders know exactly what they're doing. Service was on point too. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain drinks and made great recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. I came in not knowing what to expect, and left already planning my next visit. If you're in Uptown Whittier and looking for a spot with great energy, amazing cocktails, and a full vibe--The Vandalist is it. Thank me later

Dry, tasted old..never had cheese toasted on first then bruschetta topped with flavorless chopped tomatoes...the calamari was ok but the dipping sauce was too spicy...then we waited and waited...the pastas were good, over sauced but tasty...but by then we were so hungry so I guess delicious...very nice people, pretty patio but seriously lacking in service like they have high end restaurant dreams but missing key components like more than 1 server and efficiency in the kitchen...sad experience...would not return or recommend
