Larsen's Steakhouse - ValenciaBest Brunch in Santa Clarita By FarWe went for Mother's Day Brunch and were very impressed. My wife and I have been here twice for dinner, but this was our first time taking our three children (12, 10, and 5 year old girls) and Larsen's first time offering brunch. Having been to Salt Creek Grille and The Vines Sunday Brunches in the past for Mother's Day, I think Larsen's was significantly better. All the usual brunch buffet suspects were there including an omelet bar and a waffle bar, fruit platter, dessert tray, etc. But in addition they had an amazing seafood bar with oysters on the half shell and king crab legs. Both the beef roast and the tri tip from the carving table were amazing. And the champagne never stopped flowing. I hope they make Sunday brunch a regular thing.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGood Fine Dining For SCVAmazing Service. Chopped salad was the best thing we ate! Bread is delicious. My husband and I split a 12 oz filet mignon and added the 1/2 lb king crab. Steak was cooked well, however it had a chalky texture to it and was bland. Not a bad steak, just not what you'd expect from a Steakhouse of this price and quality...like Smith and Wollensky...yum! The crab was good (sweet not salty) but it wasnt a half pound. The garlic potatoes were good. Creme Brûlée was ok...a little under done. I gave it the rating because it is much better that anything else you can find in Valencia...but next time we will make the drive to LeChene.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfect diningThank you for the great service, perfect steak and awesome wine. The only thing we would have changed is the garlic mashed potatoe order. The giant chunks of garlic were no too tasty. But everything else was perfect.
Thank you5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Steakhouse in Santa ClaritaThis was my first time at Larsen's and I loved it. The ambiance was perfect for a classic, throwback steak house. The music was unobtrusive and fit the mood. The rib eye was simply perfect, flavorful, perfectly seasoned. The garlic mashed potatoes as well as the grilled asparagus were the ideal side dishes to accompany the steak. The wine selection is fantastic with a wide selection of prices. The service was also excellent. The only recommendation is that they should have a bread basket while you wait for the food.4/29/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat place for a specialGreat place for a special occasion.

I'm glad Santa Clarita has an upscale steak house.
Our waiter was wonderful. He explained the menu and told us his favorites. I agree with his taste. When i go to any restaurant and I can't make up my mind what I want to order I always get the opinion of the server.
The only problem I had, and it was a fairly big one, is the reservation was for 7:30 and we weren't seated until about 8:30. It seemed to me to be overbooked.
Once we got seated, everything went very well from there.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMOUTSTANDING!OUTSTANDING! From beggining to end it was absolutely one of the best meals we have ever had. Service was top notch.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMThe service was excellent.The service was excellent. Friendly hosts, and servers.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMThis time was PERFECT!!This is my fourth time to the restaurant, and by far this time was the best experience. I believe that to be true because of the time we were at the restaurant. The last few times I came to the restaurant with a reservation I still had to wait, had OK service and the food was mediocre due to the volume being served. This last time was perfection, all the way around!!!!!3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMToo noisy for comfortableToo noisy for comfortable conversation. Would rate higher, were that not the case.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMOUTSTANDING!!!Excellent food and service. The twice baked potato is to die for. It is nice to have a high end steakhouse in Valencia. Larsen's is far superior to Ruth Chris and Morton's. Ian was our waiter and he is an outstanding server. Very knowledgeable, friendly, conscientious and professional. I have dined at Larsen's in the past and will dine at Larsen's many more times to come. My favorite restaurant in the entire SCV.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMThe service was incredible.The service was incredible.

I have to say.. I really liked Larsen's. I made a reservation for 2 via Open Table and was VERY satisfied that we were given a booth.
Since we have been trying to eat healthier, we always order fish or chicken when we go out. I had my concerns because this is a steak house..right?
Our waiter recommended the blackened cod. He said it is pretty underrated and often overlooked on the menu.
We split a salad...and yes, it is definitely big enough to split! It was very good!
We ordered the blackened cod and the Chilean sea bass. The cod...OMG! was so very very good. The sea bass....not so much.
Sides of asparagus and green beans. Generous helpings...easy to split.
Two cocktails.
Next time: 1 salad each,3/11/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding experience - wellOutstanding experience - well done Larsen's! We're from Long Beach and usually go to Mastro's or Morton's. Larsen's was a top notch experience. Our server Gary was amazing and loved that the management staff checked on the tables. But overall food was OUTSTANDING. Would drive to Valencia just to eat here again!
Bravo!12/1/2012 12:00:00 AM
