Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar -Food CA (Near Los Angeles)

Juliette The steak was 10/10 - perfectly cooked. We ordered the wagyu tacos and tuna tartare for starters - both were amazing. The hot dinner rolls with garlic butter were so yummy! The Caesar salad made in front of you was delicious and the truffle fries were great too! Sticky toffee pudding came out for my birthday and I loved it - haven’t had a good one since I left London! Our server was wonderful, the decor is beautiful, great dining experience overall!

Cecily Burke It’s a tasting menu, so you will have whatever is seasonal and inspires the chefs. It will be served with an explanation from one of the many cordial and pleasant staff, and we (a party of four) found it intriguing and mostly delicious. Many courses, some very light, most just 2-3 bites - so we didn’t leave feeling overfilled, just fulfilled. The oysters served two ways was our favorite course. Any disappointments? Only the cocktails, which 3 of us ordered, and no one thought were splendid. I ordered wine (Sauvignon Blanc). There’s not a lot of choices for by the glass, but mine was perfect for this meal. We didn’t go for any of the pairing options (non-alcoholic, standard, and blow-the-budget.) Would we come again? Yes, we would!

Marisa Chiang This is the restaurant that truly opened our eyes to GREAT food. We had the BBQ carrot years ago (pre-COVID) and the intensity of flavor from such a simple preparation (albeit long dehydration time) was just kind-blowing. And we’ve been coming back every year since! Chef Chris is a genius. There really are not adequate words to describe the flavor of the dishes that are derived from the techniques of prepping it from the time the ingredient arrives at the restaurant to when it finally reaches your plate (which can be months). It’s familiar flavors that just exploded in intensity, always with the perfect layers of complementary flavors and textures. It really is just something your mouth will have to experience for itself (my mouth is watering typing this). The service is impeccable. Their director Zoee is such a sweetheart and always greets us with a genuinely welcoming presence. Their entire team is always friendly and smiles, it’s easy and a pleasure to converse with anyone and everyone that works there. Just be prepared for a long meal (3-4 hours). Everything is cooked to order and they are very meticulous, so it does take time but the immaculate presentation and “perfect” bite is worth the wait. The area can be a bit rough and parking is not easy, so the recommendation is to take a car so you’re dropped off right at the entrance. Otherwise we haven’t had issues getting there. In short, if you love to see how food can be transformed to new heights, this is your restaurant.

John O Fantastic meal from start to finish. We came to celebrate my birthday and Gwen did not disappoint. Loved the dining room and our comfortable booth. Our server was great - friendly and skillfully guided us through the menu. The food was uniformly delicious. Highlights were the table bread and butter, fresh oysters, lamb ribs, lobster ravioli, duck fat potatoes and bone in ribeye. Cocktails were excellent as well. Loved this place.

Marc Brown I planned to propose to my girlfriend on our Caribbean cruise near the end of December. An ill timed head cold ruined my plan. Before we made it back to San Diego, I plotted on a new venue to pop the question. Miraculously, Matsu had availability on NYE. I surprised my gf, a huge foodie, with the reservation. To my delight, it was on her list of restaurants in the area she wanted to try. I contacted the staff ahead of our reservation and coordinated a flower delivery. The food was delicious, we were stuffed in a good way by the end of courses. One of the servers brought out the flowers on cue and I asked the love of my life to marry me... she ugly cried and SAID YES! Apparently we were their first proposal. The staff was super accommodating and the GM even recorded the proposal from her stand. I highly recommend this restaurant if you love Japanese food or want to taste it done well.

Gaya Yaffa Katsin is a perfect mix of great food, stunning design, and lively energy. The modern, artful interior sets the mood for an unforgettable night. The grilled meats were juicy and flavorful, especially the lamb chops and roasted peppers and the mezze starters were fresh and tasty. The cocktails were creative and beautifully presented. What really made the evening special was the live music and dancing performance that got everyone up and having fun. A great spot for dinner, celebrations, and a full night out!
