Exquisite dining experience in a relaxed atmosphere. Presentation was artistically drawn. Flavors were distinctive and complimentary. Dessert was beautifully executed. Cocktails had exciting tastes exploding in your mouth. A wonderful experience with very pleasant staff which blended for a wonderful night of taste explosion!
Came for my birthday dinner and was extremely disappointed. My friend booked the reservation two weeks in advance for my birthday and when we arrived the hostess was less than pleased to greet us. We put on the reservation there was birthday and they still asked us if we had a celebration, like she didn’t read the reservation at all. We went up the stairs and the table was ordinary, nothing special for the birthday. 15 minutes after sitting there they brought a card out. Waiter couldn’t tell us a recommendation for cocktails, said there was no gin cocktails but after looking at the menu we found one. Staff doesn’t know the menu well enough to give a drink recommendation, so we asked for the check after our drinks came. Waiter didn’t even ask why we were leaving, just got us the check. They also sat us next to a table full of small children who were so loud we couldn’t hear each other talking. This place was somehow worse than a chilis or chunky cheese. Extremely disappointed with the service. Waiter didn’t even ask why we were leaving, just got us the check. Overall, bad experience for a “fancy” restaurant

The worst restaurant experience I’ve had. We made a reservation almost two weeks in advance and noted that it was for a birthday. When we arrived, the host seemed visibly unhappy and unwelcoming. She asked if we were celebrating anything — despite it being clearly stated on the reservation — and then said nothing further.
Our table wasn’t prepared, and there was no acknowledgment of the birthday until a small card was brought out about 15 minutes later. The menu was also very underwhelming, with nothing memorable or exciting.
After paying for drinks, our reservation was mysteriously canceled in the system, as if we had never been there — which feels intentional and unprofessional. Overall, extremely disappointing service and experience. I would not recommend this place

Excellent food and service. The main dining area was a little noisy but could be due to a private event going on. The private room upstairs was excellent. Would definitely be back.

Came here for a work dinner expecting a top-tier steakhouse experience. While there were some positives, the overall value didn’t match the price.
I ordered the ribeye listed as 16 oz for $110, served with mashed potatoes. The steak arrived pre-sliced without asking, which felt strange and took away from the experience. Portion-wise, it honestly looked closer to 12 oz, not 16. I regularly order 16 oz steaks and usually have leftovers—this time I finished it quickly and wasn’t even full.
Flavor and tenderness were underwhelming for a ribeye at this price point. It wasn’t bad, but it definitely wasn’t memorable or worth the cost.
On the positive side, the staff was friendly and took time to explain the menu and ingredients, which I appreciate and expect at a place like this. That said, the service felt a bit overdone—almost like they were trying too hard, which came off slightly awkward rather than natural.
It’s also worth noting that other dishes were excellent. The sea bass was outstanding and easily the highlight of the table, which shows the kitchen is capable of delivering great food.
The ambiance was nice, but ultimately the steak—the main reason to come here—didn’t justify the price. I’ve had significantly better ribeyes at much less expensive places.

Walking into Huntress feels less like stepping into a restaurant and more like entering a controlled storm one crafted by people who actually give a damn. There’s a kind of velvet-lined electricity in the air, the kind you only find in places where the staff moves with intention and the guests lower their voices without being asked.
The ambience hits you first. Low light, warm wood, metal with attitude. The kind of space where a good drink tastes even better simply because the room knows how to hold it. Huntress doesn’t try too hard; it simply is, and that confidence bleeds into everything they do.
And then… the Old Fashioneds.
In a world where every bar wants to reinvent the wheel, two men behind this one choose instead to honor it and elevate it. Javier and Julian, working behind that bar like they’ve rehearsed this dance in a past life.
You watch them and it’s a symphony without sheet music: • one gathers, • one measures, • both adjust, • both execute.
Every action a quiet flex. Every pour, every stir, every snap of orange perfuming the air intentional. It’s the kind of drink that makes you exhale a little slower, the kind where halfway in, you realize you’re not just drinking an Old Fashioned… you’re having the best one you’ve had in years. Maybe ever.
That level of craft doesn’t happen by accident. It’s knowledge, muscle memory, discipline, and a touch of artistry Michelin-star behavior without the white tablecloth pretension.
But let’s talk about the Tomato Burrata.
Calling it a dish feels disrespectful. This was a masterpiece a small, edible fresco of simplicity behaving like luxury. The kind of plate that makes you pause for a second before taking the first bite, because beautiful things deserve a moment of silence.
And from the bar, you get the best seat in the house.
A direct view into the kitchen a living, breathing organism. A brigade moving with the urgent grace of people who know they’re on a stage. It’s The Bear, but with sharper technique and fewer meltdowns. You watch chefs glide around one another, eyes sharp, hands steady
every moment counting, every plate polished like a final exam.
There’s no chaos here. Just art, disguised as labor.
Huntress isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a performance.
A showcase of teamwork, craft, and the kind of pride you pray every kitchen still has.
And it’s damn refreshing to see.

This was our 3rd time here. This Thanksgiving and the last one were delicious. Excellent food and service. Bar tenders were attentive as well as our server, John. The steaks are cooked to perfection.
Drinks were amazing! Food needs some work. Food presentation is awesome though.

I thought we had made a mistake when I first looked at the menu. I'm annoyed average food risk taker. My wife a zero. By the time we finished our filled (my wife) and my sea bass and some strange sounding, but delicious side dishes, we had the best meal of our ten day trip down the California coast.

Huntress is one of our favorite fine-dining spots— we've celebrated so many important milestones here: our engagement, birthdays, and most recently, becoming blissful newlyweds. Every visit is truly top-notch. The dishes are exquisite & delicious and the ambiance and service are always spectacular. Highly recommend.

I had an amazing experience at The Huntress Steakhouse. The service was excellent from start to finish—attentive, friendly, and perfectly paced. The drinks were flowing and crafted beautifully, setting the tone for a great night. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was cooked to perfection and full of flavor, making the entire meal memorable. And the dessert? An absolute showstopper! Not only did it taste incredible, but the presentation was truly a performance. I highly recommend saving room for it. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. I'd definitely recommend The Huntress Steakhouse to anyone looking for great service, outstanding food, and a memorable night out.

I wanted to give 5 stars but the steak was not it… the steak was not good at all. Very bland and basic. The bread rolls came with 3 butters and the miso was the only good one. Now onto all the best parts.
The miso sea bass was divine. Soooo delicious I hope they keep that on the menu. We wish we would have ordered two of these! The atmosphere is wonderful and the music is great. Really really great vibes all around. Staff was fantastic and so attentive.
I will say we got sat at a very tiny table against a wall and it was kinda cramped but we made it work.. ideally that was not a fun place to sit though overall.
