Steakhouse
At The Arthur J, beef is our passion.

When you combine our ability to source the best beef in the world, cooking with an incredible natural wood fire grill, and friendly thoughtful service, an incredible quality steak is born.

This is why we offer the best USDA Prime, True Japanese Wagyu, and Black Angus Beef.

Unlike most pedestrian steak houses, Each one of our Steaks is cooked skillfully by our Grill Master over a stoked live fire with smoking white oak embers.
Our steaks are available both wet-and dry-aged and well as Bone-in, grilled to perfection our magnificent J&R Woodfire Grill.

    Best Ribeye I have ever had. While the cap was excellent the rest of the ribeye was just as tender. Excellent sides and appetizers as well. While the dining room was too loud for conversation the food was worth it!

    Food was exquisite. Atmosphere was lively, ambiance was perfect. Steaks (KC strip & ribeye) came out hot and perfectly cooked. The sides were onion rings and creamed spinach and were both fantastic, with the spinach stealing the show. The only issue is people tend to stay long at their tables and delayed many reservations. Other than that, highest recommendation.

    We loved the Tomahawk for two - did not love the brussels. Onion soup just ok. Wedge salad was very good. The group was very so-so on all cocktails, with the one winner being the spicy margarita. Next time, we may only order the mashed potatoes, as they were unbelievable. Very nice service and ambiance~

    my family & I like Arthur J's very much.... it may just be that I'm older but I find that the food tends to be over-salted..... while everything is delicious, I do feel the seasonings can be toned down so the food is not so salty

    Overall, the food and price were what you'd expect from a steakhouse. The menu was diverse and catered to all tastes, with an extensive seafood list. My only gripe was that our food was cold. There's no reason mashed potatoes and veggies should be room temp after waiting patiently for our meal. My sampler may have rested too long. At the price point of the meals, I would expect more, and on a typical Tuesday night, there's no excuse. The service was a joy and attentive. They went the extra mile for a birthday candle and card. Great decor and a lovely atmosphere.

    Our server Jason, was just awesome. What a great personality that all servers should have... looked like he really enjoyed his job. Would've chosen 'Outstanding' for the Food, but it came out room-temperature and not hot. We had to ask for the sides to get re-heated. Other than that, Thanksgiving meal was very satisfying.

    We had a wonderful experience for our Thanksgiving dinner at The Arthur J. We had 8 people in our group, 6 adults and 2 kids - ages 6 and 2. Our server was so friendly and the rest of the team that waited on our table was outstanding. We loved all of the dishes that we ordered - many from their special Thanksgiving menu and a few from their regular menu. Our drinks were great too - cosmo, espresso martini, Prosecco and beer. We will definitely return!

    Great dining experience with Johnny O and exactly the type of experience and service you expect from a classy establishment like the Arthur J. Food was fantastic and we ordered both the tomahawk rib eye and porterhouse for the table and it was seared and grilled to perfection. Sides and salads were spot on especially the cabbage dish Johnny recommended. Wine rec was great as well with an extensive list. 5 star experience for sure.

    Great place for a family outing, where we wanted good food and service in an environment where we could hear each other. Great, attentive, not pushy, helpful wait staff, who made us feel comfortable and helped us make meal choices we'd enjoy. Thanks for the thoughtful signed birthday card and luscious coconut iced dessert! We'll be back!

    This was a 5* anniversary dinner for myself and my husband. Our server Alonzo was truly amazing as was the food. It was Saturday night so my husband ordered the prime rib which was spectacular! We had the beef carpaccio which was excellent followed by sharing the wedge salad. Alonzo really went the extra mile by dividing the salad for us! Impeccable service and food quality was outstanding. The only opportunity was that we were seated under a speaker for the music and at times it was hard to hear each other. We mentioned to the hostess when we were seated, she was unable to change our table assignment, however on the way out she mentioned that she had marked our name to ensure we are not seated there again. The dining experience was overall a very positive experience and we will definitely be back!

    Loved it, per usual!! The food is always supreme. I started off with the lovely shrimp cocktails, my entree was the prime rib- amazing, and I had mushrooms as a side. I almost forgot about the Caesar salad- which had anchovies (not my favorite). Nonetheless, a wonderful dining experience.

    We had excellent food and excellent service. I think our server was Jason and he went out of his way to be sure we had everything we needed. He gave an excellent, detailed description of the specials and helped us make decisions. He volunteered to split the salad we were sharing, brought us new napkins when we accidentally dropped ours, checked in on us multiple times, managed the timing of our food perfectly and he did all of this with a broad smile and friendly, engaged, personable demeanor. He was proactive and very customer service oriented. The shrimp cocktail may have been the best I have ever had because of the seasoning, the Caesar salad was perfect - lightly dressed; the steak sampler was superb - tender and tasty and the fries were served hot and perfectly seasoned. The only slight distraction is that it was very loud where we were sitting in the bar area and I had to strain to hear my niece.

    Our server, Jason, was exceptional. He was attentive, knowledgable, efficient, and congenial. The only reason I gave a slight downgrade is that it is very loud. Though another may call it energetic and consider that a plus.
