Larsen's SteakhouseImpress With The BestMeeting with my long time friend that I don't see enough, I decided to go for spectacular fresh fish, delicious sides, and ambience suitable for focused conversation. Larsen's was perfect. Lunch was as special as a fine dinner.5/20/2013 12:00:00 AMLovelyThe meal was wonderful, the service was attentive and the setting was lovely5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMWe continue to enjoy spendingWe continue to enjoy spending Special Occasions at Larsen"s, Encino. The food and service never disappoint us.
Thank you!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWait to be seated....This was my second time so far at Larsen's steakhouse this year. I treated my Mother for Mothers Day. We both loved the service, the food, the waiters were great but the only thing was we had quite a bit of a wait until we were finally seated. My first time there, we had reservations and we were seated within less than one minute. This past weekend, I had reservations as well, but we must have waited a good 5 minutes to be seated considering the restaurant was empty leaving more employees with less work to do. I was a tad bit disappointed, not mad, I just think its something you guys can work on for the future. Besides that, everything else was exceptional. Love the employees, the food, the environment, everything!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat for my friend's birthday!Larsen's rolled out the red carpet for a good friend of mine. I made the reservation on OpenTable and included a note that our group had a birthday. We were greeted warmly, seated promptly, and at the table was a sweet birthday card personalized and signed by all the Larsen's staff! What a thoughtful and unexpected touch. The food was great--I don't eat a lot of meat but recommend the sea bass. And the wine list had several hidden gems I didn't expect from a steak restaurant.
I'd been to Larsen's before and really believe it's one of Encino's best kept secrets. Kudos to the staff there for taking extra time to make us all feel welcome, and special!5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMGrade A WagyuThe Kobe is absolutely worth it. One of the best and most resonably priced (for what you get) menus out there. I would definitely go back.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMThe restaurant is abolutelyThe restaurant is abolutely amazing.

Live piano music was perfect. Food could be a little rich for some but much lighter than some other steakhouses we'd tried. Overall a great restaurant.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMHonestly it was one of theHonestly it was one of the best meals we have ever had, my pork was amazing it was tender I couldnt even believe it, my wife and our guest split the filet and crab leg combo and they also said it was amazing they especially said the crab legs were so sweet. We sat in the bar and Derrick served us and that was a treat what a nice genteleman. Look forward to coming back soon.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMGet the lobster bisque!We've been going to Larsen's for a few years now. My only, "you must get this item" is the lobster bisque. It is amazing, creaming, with huge pieces of lobster. Yummy!
As for steaks, I like to stick with just the regular rib eye, or bone in rib eye. They have other steaks that usually come with sauces and I've just never really enjoyed any of them. They are OK. But, maybe I'm just more of a traditionalist.
For sides the mashed potatoes are good as well as the creamed spinach. I can't remember if I liked the Mac and Cheese or not. There's a lobster mash and I wouldn't suggest it - get the bisque instead.
Appetizers - I've only had the crab artichoke dip. While AMAZING and highly suggested also realize that it's very very rich.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMGood food but a little pricey.Good food but a little pricey.

Great meat and fish. Love the lights in the menus.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMUpscale all the way. ExtensiveUpscale all the way. Extensive wine list, no bottles under $44. Dark and romantic, with a piano player. Service friendly and prompt. Free chocolate cake slice for my birthday. The bacon-wrapped filet mignon with a blue cheese sauce, and the Colorado Rack of Lamb were PERFECT! The sides are priced separately, and now I see why - they are large and supplied on their own plate. The Flemming Salad was also perfect. Our meal for 2 with one bottle of wine, 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, 2 sides, and 2 aperitifs, and 15% tip came to $260. I will definitely return for a special occasion.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AManother great mealreservations on time, excellent service, outstanding food .....even though no steak ordered in our group .......Ahi Tuna was thick huge and spectacular tasting.

My husband and I truely enjoyed everything.
We are on a tight budget. We had a bottle of wine ($40... the cheapest one we could find), 2 salads and 2 filet mignons. The price was $170.
Although we had a wonderful experience..... we cannot afford to dine there again.3/11/2013 12:00:00 AM
