Best Steakhouses in Sherman Oaks

If you have a special occasion to celebrate, Verse should be your choice. We celebrated my b-day, and so did the table next to us and an anniversary two tables away. I gave 5 stars in all areas except the value, and only because the menu is quite pricey. We ordered Melamente, Pancho and MADD city cocktails; excellent creations. Following most of the reviews, we had the milk buns and octopus as appetizers. For dinner entrees, husband ordered the Branzino and I Crab Capanelli. We were not disappointed with the appetizers. Milk buns melt in your mouth; the whipped brown butter has the perfect sweetness. The octopus was cooked perfectly; so tender. I don't know how the chef came up with all the different sauces on the octopus but oh so delicious. So husband was a little disappointed with the Branzino as it was fairly plain when compared to the octopus. The crab capanelli was cooked al dente and the sauce was creamy with the right amount of saltiness. The toasted almonds added the unexpected crunch and well combined with the richness of the sauce. The only neg here is that it was difficult to locate the crab; the chef should really double up on the amount. Service was excellent as expected; ambiance - not too dark with just enough lighting to read the menu; and the live band added extra points to this special occasion. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience.

To dine at Musso & Frank’s Grill is to have an experience like no other in LA: old world style, dishes that have long since disappeared from the menus of any other of its competitors and the pleasure of knowing that one is dining in a space that has probably catered for virtually every great name ever to have graced Hollywood in the course of the past century. Look beyond the cheap and tawdry pseudo glamour of the rest of the Hollywood strip and allow yourself the pleasure of an authentic experience you will never forget, long after the memory of all the dross of the surrounding razzmatazz has faded into oblivion. Worth every penny twice over.

Truly - everything about this restaurant is simply phenomenal. Isabella was my waitress and she was incredibly attentive and so personable. I am on a work trip and came to eat alone (the view is 100% worth it) and she was so kind and welcoming. The food was absolutely amazing. I got oysters to start, followed by the Wagyu and the mashed potatoes. I cannot overstate how amazing this place was. 10/10, highly recommend.

We love BOA. Quality and service are top level. Everyone from their valet to the manager is top level. From the time you hand over your car to valet to being greeted by the always stylishly dressed door man, and the hostesses, you will feel welcomed. Unlike many places in town, BOA has one of the most welcoming staff we've encountered. And they are constantly this way every time we come. Our server, Shaw is fantastic! Great with recommendations and extremely on top of his game when it comes to taken care of you. The food is delicious and the crab is second to none. We have a great experience each and every time we come and typically we bring our family (5-9 people). Our 14 year old completely digs BOA and Shaw, as did our 8 year old granddaughter visiting from NY. We always enjoy and highly recommend BOA for family dinner or date night or anything in between.

My boyfriend and I had the most amazing first time at Larsen’s, celebrating his birthday. Although the plaza where Larsen’s Encino is located is undergoing remodeling, once you step into the restaurant, you’re completely transformed to another place. Great dim lighting, live piano, and classic steakhouse look. Rita, the hostess, was absolutely amazing. Grant, our server, took it to the next level with his great service. Alongside already amazing food, this wonderful restaurant captivated us into making sure we come back for more.
