Restaurants near Banning Residence Museum

555 East is our favorite steakhouse. Steaks are perfectly seasoned and so tender, it melts in your mouth. Their clam chowder & bread are amazing. Margaritas are excellent!

This is the third time I've eaten here in the last few months and it was outstanding, as usual! While we didn't love where they seated us (even though we had made reservations over a month in advance - but now I know what to ask for in the reservation), the food and service were great. The roasted beet hummus, muttabal and fresh-from- the-oven pitas were probably our favorites, but everything was great. Last time I came here, I ordered the roasted beets salad with grilled salmon (also amazing). We also tried two desserts, the knafeh and osmalieh ice cream, both were excellent...and they went great together! I'm looking forward to my next visit!

We truly enjoyed the food, although it did take almost a half hour for us to get our drinks. It was a crazy busy holiday night, so the servers were really struggling.  we will certainly return

Overall good - however, the server was serving too many tables and therefore we did not get the service from Sean as we deserved as paying customers. In fact, we waited for over 10 minutes to get silverware for the table, finally I got up and went to the kitchen to pick the forks and knives for the table - so there is an opportunity for improvement.

Our waiter was very helpful, friendly and attentive, but not too much, as he had a lot of tables this afternoon. Fries came with my lunch. I had to request a fresh order of fries as mine were very cool. The Clam Chowder is the best item on the menu, though over priced as are all food items. But yhou're paying for the relocation, not the high quality of the menu items. Food quality is B-.
