The char on the filet was the best I may have ever had... and that's saying something coming from a steak capital the likes of Houston, TX! Skip the peppercorn sauce- go for the red wine butter reduction instead. It. Is. Devine. (A HUGE thanks to Mark for remedying that misstep of mine mid-meal; his service has been on pointe tonight) The au gratin potatoes had me wanting to lick the bowl (but please don't, this is a fancy place!) Yet not so fancy on a Thursday afternoon that I felt out of place in my (nice) T-shirt and joggers, having just flown in from H-town. FWIW- The "uncommon wedge" was nothing worth writing home about; save the space and go straight for the steak and sides, you won't regret it. I wonder if they're open early enough on Saturday that I could drop back in before my flight out..... read more

I'm currently here for Mother's Day and I'm sad to report that this is officially the longest I've ever waited for food in any establishment. For a steakhouse, you would expect a higher standard of service. Our rvsp for a party of 6 was at 1:30pm. We got seated at 1:45pm. Our server right off the bat mentioned he is not familiar with brunch and is usually only here for dinner and couldn't help us on the menu. We ordered our drinks and one appetizer which came out in about 10 mins. We ordered our food at 1:50pm. It is now 3:10 pm. You do the math. People around our table who got here before us still didn't get their food either. The server came by after 45 mins and apologized and admitted they were not prepared. The server offered complimentary bottomless mimosas which was appreciated but didn't make up for the wait. Literally 3 tables next me were so unhappy. I had to apologize to my mom for the wait at I hope this would be a great steakhouse experience. Sad to report I won't be coming here again. Update it is now 3:20 and we decided to leave after no food. The manager apologized and gave us a complimentary steak to share before departing. Sorry mom! read more

We absolutely adore this restaurant we are definitely coming back, it was our first time but the food is delicious, freshly made tasty and cooked to perfection Thanks a lot to our wonderful server Sharon , so friendly and accommodating with all our choices on the menu. She was able to match the perfect items on the menu. She also recommended incredible drinks to have with our meal, a great service definitely makes a big difference!!! Thanks Sharon read more

Four of us had dinner here to celebrate a birthday. The food was generally good, with some hits and misses. The shrimp cocktail amd Brussels sprouts salad were good, but the crispy lumpia were just ok with not much flavor. The steaks were well prepared and properly seasoned. But the mac n cheese was mostly mac and not much cheese. The asparagus was creative and it was nice that they brought us a birthday dessert. Our server was also a bit inconsistent - disappearing for long stretches of time. We waited over 15 minutes at the end of our meal to get our check and finally had to flag down a different server. Overall, the dinner was fine. But we won't be rushing back anytime soon. read more

Fries are to die for! Such a funky shape. You can ask for them without the beef tallow, ask for the veggie fries. Service is friendly and they check in often. Meat was a bit too rough for my taste (ordered medium rare). Ambiance is great! Lots of seating indoor and outdoor. Non alcoholic cocktail was yummy and tasted like it was alcoholic, so a win for me. Great place for work dinners, which is what I came for. Parking available next door. read more

My daughter and I came here for our annual pre Valentine's Day dinner -- a tradition that means so much to me because she's my first love, my first true love, and my forever Valentine. We had such a wonderful experience! I ordered the ribeye steak, which was cooked perfectly, and she had the shake beef with sticky rice -- it was absolutely delicious. We each ordered a dessert (because why not?!) and both were amazing. Oh, and I must add -- their lumpia egg rolls are our favorite. Definitely a must-try! We order them every time. The drinks were also so good. They didn't have exactly what I was craving on the menu, but our waiter was incredibly accommodating. I told him I wanted something similar to a lemon drop, and he went to the bartender and had a custom berry cocktail made for me -- and let me tell you, it hit the spot! I would honestly go back just for that drink. It wasn't overly crowded for a Friday night, which made the evening even more enjoyable. The vibe was lively without being overwhelming, and one of my favorite things about this place is the music. They play such a great mix of R&B, hip-hop, and a little bit of 80s -- it's the perfect blend and always sets the mood. Our waiter was so kind and attentive. I wish I could remember his name (I usually do!), but he truly took great care of us. Kevin, the owner, also stopped by our table to check in and make sure everything was perfect. Every time we dine here, he makes it a point to say hello and ensure we're enjoying ourselves. That personal touch means so much and is one of the reasons we keep coming back. This is definitely one of our favorite spots for special occasions. Thank you for always helping us create such beautiful memories together! read more

The food was delicious, and the Service was great too! Good ambience to go along with your dining experience, we had the filet Mignon and it was cooked to perfection, it sliced through like butter, the sides are large enough to share and there are a lot to choose from. We will definitely be back! read more

1st ever Father's Day Buffet Brunch for this restaurant. Wow ! Such a great idea. I made small plates to try everything. Went back 4 times. Started with bottomless mimosas. Lemon ricotta pancakes and brioche French Toast with whiskey maple syrup. Yum. Eggs Benedict, scrambled eggs with truffles, delish deconstructed blt salad, Kumamoto oysters, scallops on the half shell, Maine lobster risotto, Jumbo shrimp, bourbon glazed smoked ham, wagyu tri tip and crusted beef tenderloin. And Parker House rolls!!! At $125 pp , inclusive of mimosas, tax and tip, what a great price point! Yay ! read more

Dad's Day brunch ! They did a buffet and what a great idea. So many choices. Set up on the patio with a carving station with ham, tri tip and filet. Lobster risotto was the bomb. Oysters, scallops, salmon, great desserts too. Bottomless mimosas which I combined with both oj and pineapple juices. $125 included tax and tip - so solid. read more

TL;DR - gigantic whiskey/whisky options! Amazing cuts of meat. Tomahawk steak (for 2) was tender and perfectly cooked. Great service and ambiance. I'm so happy to know an awesome steak restaurant with a HUGE whiskey library exists in the south bay! Seriously, look at the two pictures of their Whiskey menu that I included in this review...That's literally front and back lol. The owner is a big collector of them. So if you wanted to go to a nice steak restaurant and expand your whiskey palate, then this is a solid place to go. They have a variety of cuts and we went with the tomahawk. It was so delicious. Beautifully cooked, tender, and flavorful. It is meant for two people. It comes with two salad options, sides, and dessert. Overall we had a fantastic time and would come back again. The ambiance was nice. Not loud, not too quiet. Perfect for having a conversation with a group or a date. Service was amazing. They checked up on us very frequently. I'll be coming back for sure! read more

Truly Exceptional in Every Way! From the moment we walked in, the experience at Pacific Standard Prime in Redondo Beach was absolutely top-notch. A warm, friendly greeting from the host set the tone for the evening, and the service only got better from there. Sommelier Peggy provided outstanding wine recommendations, from the elegant pre-meal Champagne to a beautifully balanced Nebbiolo that paired perfectly with dinner. Mark delivered impeccable service throughout the evening, and it was a pleasure to meet Kevin, the owner, whose passion for hospitality shines through in every detail. The Wagyu ribeye was one of the best I've had -- cooked to perfection, rich, and full of flavor. The sides were equally impressive, and while I didn't need dessert, I'm so glad we shared one... it was incredible! Capped off the night with a nightcap at the bar with Sharon, which was the perfect way to end an already memorable evening. A+ experience from start to finish! Pacific Standard Prime sets the standard for fine dining in the South Bay. Highly recommended! read more

I should have known better... Mother's Day and Valentine's Day are probably the two days you just don't go out to eat. But I thought brunch would be different, and honestly, I thought if anyone could pull it off, Pacific Standard could. Wrong. We made a reservation for 7 people at 1:00 PM to celebrate both my mom and mother-in-law. We waited to eat all day and were really looking forward to it. First disappointment was being told the trio option that's on the website wasn't available. Not a huge issue, just a letdown. But then things really went downhill. We didn't even order until around 1:30. Long wait, but we tried to be understanding because it was a holiday. The food finally came out after 3:00 PM and was honestly terrible. My child's pancake had to be sent back THREE times: * First one was freezing cold * Second one came out burnt to a crisp * Third one still wasn't edible My chopped salad was basically a bowl of cabbage. Nothing "chopped" about it besides cabbage overload. The steak and eggs my husband ordered tasted like they had been sitting under a heat lamp for an hour. At the end, the response was essentially: "Sorry about that." They said we took off your drinks... two sparkling waters, and apple juice, and comped the brie appetizer. To top it off, they said they also automatically added gratuity because we were a large party. I completely understand holidays are busy, but waiting over two hours for food that was inedible made for a really disappointing Mother's Day experience. read more

Pacific Standard Prime is situated in an interesting complex. The facility is a mix of residential and retail. Retail and some parking are at street level; residential is above. Entrance and egress of the parking structure is easy. Just pay attention to which parking spaces are reserved for businesses, and which are for residential guest parking. On this visit, our table ordered: an appetizer of sugar cube melon and prosciutto ($20.00), and a bottle of wine ($60.00). For entrees: The Australian Lamb Loin & Riblets ($60.00); Norwegian Halibut ($60.00); and 16 oz Black Opal Rib-eye ($95.00). For sides: Brussel Sprouts ($15.00) and Sautéed Mushrooms ($15.00). For dessert, the table shared a mixed berry sundae ($15.00). With tax of $33.15, out ticket was $373.15, before gratuity. The lamb was prepared well. The caption "loin and riblets" describes the presentation. (They're fancy lamb chops.) The lamb had all of the best features of lamb, without gaminess (a reason why some do not like lamb). The plate included moussaka. If you are dining alone, I consider this a complete meal, without the need of an à la carte side dish. The halibut was prepared well; but it verged on dry. I attribute this less to kitchen preparation, and more to this one piece of fish. The dish also came with lobster ravioli and asparagus, in a lobster-cognac sauce. If you dine alone, this is a complete plate, without the necessity of side dishes. The "Opal" rib-eye was described as beef derived from a cross of wagyu and European cattle. The steak had a good flavor. It was aged, but not gamey. It was moist, but not fatty. The steak was the plate. If dining alone, consider ordering a side dish. This restaurant has an indoor dining room; some outdoor seating; as well as a bar section, with a limited number of tables. Overall, the decor is quite nice. It was not busy during our visit. I attribute this to the fact that dinner service starts at 5:00pm, and we dined at 5:30pm. Regardless, our server (Stefani) was very good. She was personable; she explained the menu accurately; and attended to our needs appropriately. read more

This review is for a cooking class I took recently at the restaurant. The best part is the honor bar, so if you're into drinking generous amounts of wine this is your place! They had a Chardonnay and a cab that day. The cost of the class included the food, honor bar and gratuity so a great value for heavy wine drinkers all for $100. In terms of the food it was also good, with the best dish being the Jidori chicken mushroom and scallion crepes. The only thing I wished was that we got two instead of one crepe since it was sooooo good. Recommend the cooking class to those who love wine. read more

Like the last reviewer, I was also here on Mother's Day and also had a negative experience. Our server also told us off the bat that he normally works dinners, not brunch. Our food took about an hour to arrive, but we were the lucky ones as the tables around us waited much, much longer. My husband had gotten bottomless mimosas, but was only able to get two refills as our server wasn't around. Some of our items also got mixed up, and two dishes that we didn't order came to our table, while other dishes we did order never arrived. Each time we asked for the dishes that didn't arrive, our server asked if we wanted to just take it off the check - making it quite obvious he didn't want to have to get them. Unlike the previous reviewer, we were not offered free mimosas or steaks. We did see the owner there, but he did not stop at our table the way he normally has during previous visits. If this were my first time at PSP, I'd never return. However, I've been here numerous other times and had great experiences, hence the three stars and not one. It seems they were grossly underprepared for Mother's Day. Probably a good idea to avoid PSP for holidays, and stick to regular days. read more

Expensive but surprisingly good value for high quality well prepared beef. Sides were all good and reasonably sized to share. Excellent cocktail/spirit selections. Felt a little austere with a very big room with few patrons on a Sunday night. read more

Update: Kevin Leach reached out to us immediately after the review and corrected the charges. Rating updated to 4, which now reflects our opinion of the food and service outside of the charge issue. read more

Dined here last night for the first and now only time. The service was extremely slow even though the place was 25% occupied. The $10 sourdough bread was enough for about 1 person, the calamari was good, and the server himself was educated on the menu. The food itself was insanely overpriced and very small portions. Each side came in a bowl about the size of a cereal bowl and wasn't enough to split between two adults properly. The steaks were fine and the temps were correct. I truly don't believe mine was SRF or that the filet's were prime, or the ribeye was Tajima. They lacked marbling and texture for all 4 of them. Overall this place is not worth the price based off of food quality and service. read more

Ok 1000/10!! The food was really good! I liked the overall quality of the food and the steaks were on point! The server was really friendly and was very knowledgeable on the menu! The service was also quick and the ambiance was a 10/10! I definitely recommend this place if you're in the area! read more

This steakhouse features Australian wagyu style beef steaks. I wish I had known this before I went. The only reason for the 4 stars is the flavor of the steaks was just not what I wanted. The non steak menu items were great! Service was great! But our steaks were just not satisfyingly "beefy" in flavor. And for $650 for a party of 5 (no alcohol) I wanted the steaks to satisfy. Will go back... but not for the steaks. read more

My husband and I recently came here for dinner for a date night. Reservations were easy to make via OpenTable. When I walked in I noticed a very casual bar with a TV. But the rest of the space had a more formal vibe more appropriate for a steakhouse dinner date. We sat at a lovely velvety booth that was very spacious and comfortable! I loved the ambience--both contemporary yet cozy. It's slightly dim lit but not too dark. Great for a date, special occasion or a nice family dinner. We shared the following: - Kumamoto Oysters - very fresh! Loved the mignonettes it came with! - Warm Sourdough Boule - underrated item! Wow this bread was SO good! I'm not a big bread person but I really enjoyed this. It was perfectly baked, warm, soft on the inside with a delightful chewy and crispy thin crust. It came with a delicious aromatic olive oil and a compound butter with edible florals. - Porterhouse Steak - made up of a filet and New York strip, served cut from the bone and sliced. I especially enjoyed the filet side. Overall, it was a good steak but not amazing in my opinion. Not as good as Mastro's, but for the South Bay, it's probably one of the best in this area along with The Arthur J. - Charred farmers market chimichurri broccoli - skip this. I wouldn't get this again. I was expecting more of a charred flavor but it was overpowered by too much acid/citrus. It had a sour taste and an unbalanced flavor profile. Maybe it was an off day. Service here was excellent! It really stood out as a notch above the usual standard service at other restaurants. Every staff member we encountered was great. We even noticed the owner walking around and engaging with guests which was nice to see. Parking: free and super easy in the parking garage next to it read more

Service here was great. Our server (wish I remembered his name) was super attentive, had a great attitude, and really carried the night. Definitely a highlight. We started with the sourdough bread and infused olive oil. Simple, yes, but surprisingly tasty and a nice way to begin. The porterhouse was where things fell short. At $125, I was really looking forward to it. We ordered medium rare, but it took quite a while to arrive and came out more like medium to medium well. Parts of it were dry, and for the price, that was pretty disappointing. They did comp a dessert, which I appreciated, but it didn't quite balance things out -- a $15 dessert just doesn't make up for a $125 steak being off the mark. Dessert itself was good, and overall the experience wasn't bad by any means. The service and starters helped, but when the main event (the steak) misses the mark, it's tough to ignore. There were some good moments (service, starters, and sides), but not quite what I'd hoped for at this price point. Oh, and it took forever for the food to arrive. Likely because they decided to add more time on the grill for my steak. ‍ read more

Yesterday I attended Christine's Spring cooking class and had a fantastic time! As always, I left VERY full and with some fantastic recipes to try at home.

Our new favorite brunch spot. Food is delicious and ambiance is very chill. Our waiter, Chase, went out of his way to take care of us. Our favorites are Eggs Benedict and the Bulgogi breakfast (perfectly cooked chunks of steak).

Delicious food everything on the menu. The servers were professional and polite. What a great atmosphere on the weekend.

Had a great time having dinner in this place with friends the other day. In my opinion, The best part of this restaurant was their impeccable and friendly service.

We were on the lookout for a great spot to celebrate my wife's recent work successes, and she had her eye on Pacific Standard Prime, especially after seeing the stellar Yelp reviews. Our evening began with a warm welcome from Christina at the host stand. We were seated in a cozy booth with comfortable high-back seats and decorative extenders that provided a semi-private atmosphere. The restaurant's decor was charming, featuring elegant chandeliers and a wooden trellis ceiling. The white color scheme, accented by stylish green plant motifs on the walls and beams, created a fresh ambiance. A standout feature was the impressive wine wall, which added to the overall appeal. Plus, they passed my bathroom cleanliness test--an essential for any place aiming for five stars! For those just wanting drinks, the well-stocked bar had televisions, and that night they were airing the ALCS, where the Yankees triumphed over the Guardians, 8-6. You will get a few menus when you first sit down. They have an enormous whisky menu, which happens to be a favorite of mine. One of the evening's many highlights was our waiter, Seth, who was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also had a fantastic personality. When the owner, Kevin, stopped by to check on us, he described Seth as "dinner, AND A SHOW." We definitely enjoyed the show--great job, Seth, we enjoyed dining with you. Now, onto the food, which truly impressed. Chef Christine deserves applause for her culinary skills. For appetizers, we shared the Wedge salad, which was crisp and topped just right. The star of the show was the incredible country bread served with infused butter. Kevin explained the FRESH, bread-making process, and you could truly taste the difference--it was divine. For our main courses, my wife had the 8oz Wanderer Filet Mignon, cooked perfectly to her liking, while I savored the Cioppino, brimming with the ocean's treasures. The broth was delightful, complemented by three delicious pieces of bread. For beverages, I enjoyed a martini, and my wife loved her scratch-made PSP cocktail. We capped off the meal with the sticky toffee pudding, which was the perfect sweet ending. In summary, if you're considering Pacific Standard Prime, don't hesitate. My wife felt we celebrated her achievements beautifully. Kudos to the entire staff at PSP for creating something truly special! read more

When I lived in Texas I would partake in the local fair- steak. Now back in the south bay I took my family to the top rated steakhouse. 1 exec summary Great ambiance. Great service. Above average food. Easy access. Premium price but a place you want to dwell in and enjoy. 2- food The steaks are above average. But not quite to the level that you find in Texas. California struggles with great steak and bbq. Texas struggles with great Japanese and Mexican. The calamari appetizer was a 3.5. It was slightly better than average being not greasy. But the coating flaked off readily The side of mashed was quite good. I got the filet mignon at medium rare and it was easily a 4. I'd say it was missing just a bit of the "crust" flavor that you expect from a high temperature sear- which is why you go to steakhouses 3- service Really great support and banter with the waiter. Very attentive without being overly pushy. Great suggestions in helping to navigate the menu. The bar staff screwed up my first drink order but they fixed it immediately. 4- ambiance So cal cool. A sophisticated place where you never feel rushed (there are South Bay trendy restaurants that give you a time limit. That stresses me out). Relax, enjoy .. we ended up having too many desserts (the crème brûlée is to die for ) and after dinner digestives because they were so awesome with us just sitting there and enjoying the experience. I love that 5- parking Why we chose to experience this restaurant vs Rex in the village was parking. Parking in Rivera is a hit and miss affair. The parking here is reserved behind the restaurant. Just read the signs to see where you should park. It was easy and adjacent to the restaurant Overall we had a lovely time. I'd go back read more

Our dinner was very good. The food was such a unique experience of flavor, however the real deal of the experience was our waiter Mark. He was superb and made sure we were well taken care of. Anything we needed, he was there. He knew how the different foods were prepared and was able to answer my many questions as being a picky eater. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. Mark really was a great fine dining waiter. More servers ought to be like Mark and listen to their table people. Thanks so much, all the best. Everyone should eat here at least once. read more

Lemon drop cocktail was delicious and Filet mignon is phenomenal!!! I would definitely recommend..

EVERYTHING was perfect! I am a total foodie and this is the first time every single dish was made PERFECTLY on point!! My friend and I have had a monthly dinner for years and we both agreed this was one of the best! Cream of broccoli soup: Delicious, flavorful and NOT too creamy. You could see and taste the broccoli. Filet Mignon: cooked perfectly medium as ordered. We chose the Peppercorn Sauce (recommended by our server) and it was delicious and not overly spicy. Brussels Sprouts: the gochujang was not overdone. Hint of heat, but could still taste the vegetables. The sprouts were not overcooked. Very tasty! Scalloped potatoes: made with three cheeses. We thought it may come "too cheesy", but no! Perfection!! Potatoes were not soggy and it was served with just the right amount of the sauce; wasn't drowning the potatoes. Lemon curd tiramisu: what a nice twist on this dessert! Not overly sweet. We were so full by then but couldn't stop eating this! I want this again for dessert! Pinot Noir: unfortunately don't remember the label but it was delicious! Though lighter than a Cabernet Sauvignon and the Bordeaux, it was balanced and went well with our meal. Service: Mark was our server and he was fantastic! Very upbeat and pleasant demeanor. Professional. Just the right amount of "checking in", each course served in the appropriate timing and made great recommendations for wine and sauce for the filet mignon. He also explained the quality of the meat, where it is from, etc. PSP serves quality protein and fresh vegetables from farmers markets. Some might think this place is a bit pricey, but remember, you get what you pay for! What you put in your body is very important and clearly PSP cares about that! read more

I had wanted to try this restaurant for a while, since we were looking for a higher end steakhouse near us, but sadly I was mostly disappointed. We ordered take out, which might have been one of the problems, but let me go down the line and let you all know what hit and what missed... we ordered Tempura Lobster lollipops which were the highlite of the meal ( though pricey), perfectly cooked with a nice dipping sauce. There were 4 pieces, but at $35 it was way overpriced. Next up, we ordered two salads... the BLTA wedge salad. It was a slight twist on the regular wedge, with bacon and avocado with a tasty green goddess dressing. It was too pedestrian to be anything but average. The second was the roasted beer salad, with Arugala, roasted beets, fried goat cheese , and pistachios ( well, that is how it was advertised. In reality, it lacked beats, pistachios, and fried cheese!!! Ok... a slight exaggeration, but only slightly! There were so few beets that I should sue this restaurant for false advertising! The very few that I found were so tiny, and NOT fried!! There might have been 4 or 5 small diced pieces in total. There was a single very small cube piece of fried cheese, maybe 1/4" piece. There were 0 pistachios!!! This was the biggest rip off I might have ever received!!! $18 for a heaping box of arugala with almost no beets and a tiny square of cheese was criminal! If I had dined in, I would have returned it for sure! We ordered the scallops which were spot on, and the only reason they got two stars from me. We also ordered the tagliatelle with meat sauce... good, but not worth $34. To round out our meal, we ordered shaky shaky beef with sticky rice and broccolini. The beef was nicely flavored and tender but the rice was definitely bit sticky rice... it was regular steamed rice with a sweet glaze on top. I would NOT recommend this restaurant. read more
