The best ribeye steak at a restaurant that I've ever had. LOVE - fantastic service too

The best Cobb salad I’ve ever had! Steaks were off the hook- this place did not disappoint!

The service was fantastic. The Ribeye was cooked perfectly, but a little on the salty side. Thought it was just me, but everyone at the table had Beef, and said the same.

Was visiting my daughter and grandson’s close to Manhattan Beach. . The highlight of my visit was dining with the entire family at Arthur J’s. From the easy parking, warm greeting from the hostess, fun, excellent server and entire staff to the excellent food the entire experience was 5 stars. Thank you Arthur J’s for a fantastic evening and wonderful family memory.

The food, the atmosphere and the service was stellar. Our server who we didn’t quite catch his name but he had the best attitude was very knowledgeable, all we remember was that he had glasses. Only thing that I would take off 1/2 a star would be for the knives, since it’s a steak restaurant I feel as if they should be sharp enough to cut through the very thick 12oz filet mignon but unfortunately they were not and it made the experience less enjoyable, if they get the knife situation settled, I’d say it’s a phenomenal restaurant.

Service started off pretty bad; we were sitting at our table for quite a while (at least a full 15 minutes) before anybody came over to even offer us water let alone take our drink order. To their credit, they realized their mistake, apologized profusely and were able to recover from a rough start. All of the food that we had was quite good, and the steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly. They offer these sauces with their steaks, but imo the steak was seasoned enough it doesn't need any sauce. 1 small gripe is I wish they had valet parking, but that might be a Manhattan Beach thing that doesn't allow them to have valet.

My experience in the past has been Management seems to choose who is invited to sit at the bar. They will remove people who have waited and extend privileges to those who are in Favor!

The Arthur J is always a great experience. Best Caesar salad I've ever had, love the flavor of the petite filet. Great martini before entree and glass of cab with dinner. Been coming here about 5 years and will keep conning back!

I've had Arthur J on my list to try for a while, so when I was in the area (from Los Angeles) for the day I made a reservation for dinner. Sadly, the restaurant didn't live up the hype. I ordered a filet and the waitress mistakenly noted my order as a petite filet. The filet was cold when it was brought to me. I told the waitress she made a mistake with the size of the steak and she offered to swap it out but I didn't want my friend to have to wait on my food to be re-made. They ended up taking my steak off the bill without me asking, which was classy and a nice move by the restaurant. My friend ordered the Sunday special, French Dip, which sadly was not great (especially when compared to Hillstone's French dip). The meat on the French dip seemed more like Gyro meat, and the au jus was more like a gravy. The Parker House Rolls, Beef Fat Fries, and Grilled Broccolini were good. We also had to wait awhile and flag down waiters to have our drinks refilled, which seemed strange for a restaurant of this caliber (they didn't seem to be short on waitstaff since many people were working, but our waitress just didn't check in). They brought a baked Alaska out for us at the end of the meal as a treat.

Went to celebrate anniversaries & a birthday - the PERFECT place! The staff was fantastic - they all made us feel special and appreciated. Anything we needed, they were there. By the end of the night it was if we'd been going there all our lives. They have a wonderful wine selection and the steaks were perfect.

This is a bit of a mixed review as we went in July for my boyfriend’s birthday for the first time and had a wonderful experience that left us recommending Arthur J to friends and families.

We went with another couple from out of town last night and it was rather disappointing from the start. We waited over 15 min for our table (and it was the 9pm service so we were quite hungry). Once seated, the waiter got our water and it took a while before he came back for our orders (seemed like he forgot about us). The apps were good, and my boyfriend said his steak was very good, but mine was rather chewy - the cook and cut were off. Had Baked Alaska for dessert, and the alcohol burned for a bit longer so it left a burnt taste. Perhaps they had an off night, but what would have been appreciated is if the manager or our waiter took better care of us and apologized for the time / checked on us.
