My family and I had a wonderful dinner at Larsen's. We started with the wedge and Larsen's House salads. Our steaks were cooked to the perfect temperature. The creamed spinach was delicious, as was the fries. We also got the hash browns, fabulous! We ended the meal with the house special-- butter cake. Oh, so good!!! The music from the pianist added greatly to the festive ambiance. I would like to send an extra thank you to Lisa who took great care of us. She is professional and made the dinner feel special with her attention. I highly recommend Larsen's.
Jaime was an outstanding server. The bar has a great vibe but I sat in one of the booths for solitude and listening to live piano music. Very relaxing.  They have the best flavorful steaks in town and fresh sushi appetizers plus excellent cocktails.  Plenty of parking underneath the building. 
Upon arrival there was no one to greet us. We waited quite a long time for someone to come and seat as at a table. The restaurant is definitely dated and could use an update. Food was good but overpriced.
The food was so bland and tasteless. No seasoning and was lukewarm in temperature. Not my ideal for a family outing on a holiday at a steak restaurant. Very disappointing...
Stellar as ever! Great food! Our waiter Jamie was absolutely wonderful! Enjoy making this our Christmas Eve meal every year!
Our family loves this restaurant, we have had the privilege of having Jamie serve us the last couple times we have eaten here, he is wonderful!
Our server,Kennedy, was great. Friendly and very responsive. I was not overwhelmed with my steak salad but everything else was good.
The waitress did not bring bread over like they normally do, and then we ordered the grilled Caesar salad and she brought us a plain Caesar salad and then offered to bring the extra things that go with the salad over, but she just brought jicama and dressing and we thought we were gonna get a grilled salad so finally she brought the grilled salad and the whole experience was just a disaster. I was raving to my friend about how lovely it is to dine here, but the whole lunch was a disaster.
At first, I planned to write a poor review because it was frustrating to make reservations by phone or to get anyone even to answer. Eventually, I went online and used OpenTable. It was my first time at the restaurant. I loved everything about it: the food, the service, the ambiance. Kennedy was our waitress. Outstanding! I loved that the Encino location was open for lunch. I'll definitely go back to try the dinner menu. I highly recommend this place.
We ate on the patio for early bird dinner. The menu is very limited so we ordered partially from the dinner menu. The food was good and also expensive. The service was also good. The patio was comfortable and quiet.

This was our first time going to the Encino location. Normally my Fiancee & I go to the Woodland Hills location. But let me tell you, we actually fell in love with the Encino location. Amazing food, service, & even had a piano player. Ambiance was great, & still easy to have conversation without yelling across the table. We're definitely coming back. This will be our new Larsens location from now on.
Food was excellent, as was the service we received from our server Kennedy and the busgirl.
The food at Larsen's is always excellent, and so is the service. We've had Jamie as our waiter several times and he always elevates the experience!
Sat in the bar and had bar menu. Great bar menu and food was delicious. The bartender was also the server and very good service
This was my 2nd time here, and my family and I decided we won't be returning. Unfortunately, the steak is very cold, and overall, the value of the meal wasn't worth it.
