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.

    Fantastic food, service and ambiance. Love that it’s an upscale steakhouse but doesn’t feel stuffy - They we’re playing good music and at a higher level than you’d expect at such an establishment but not in a bad way, in a fun way. We’ll definitely be going back. Pro tip: Get the A5 wagyu… Trust me!

    We had to return the cocktails as they were basically just alcohol, neither of us could drink them....server was nice but too busy so we had a lot of "extra time" on our hands during the dinner. Steak was very good but the desert was a joke...sugary sponge cake with some "strawberry cream"...pathetic! Been to this place many times and was never disappointing so I sure hope this was an exception rather than a new trend as we both left totally disappointed...

    We dined at Jay’s table on a Monday evening. From the very beginning we could tell how special Jay was and that our dining experience would be wonderful. Jay was attentive in just the right way, accommodated our request to switch our table (the host said we couldn’t but Jay worked his magic), made great recommendations, and surprised us with dishes from start to finish. Jay made our night! The food at Arthur J is indeed good but Jay made the evening one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a while. Ask for Jay when you visit. You won’t be disappointed.

    We visited for an early Mother’s Day dinner. As always, the food was great. The shrimp cocktail was delicious, the steaks were cooked perfectly and extremely flavorful, the broccolini was a standout, and the drinks were delicious. Despite the recent proliferation of steakhouses in the South Bay, the Arthur J continues to be the standard bearer.

    The A5 wagyu was the best steak my husband and I have ever had. The steak sampler would have been the best steaks I’ve ever had, but then I had the wagyu. Mind blowing. The wedge salad was really good. The mashed potatoes and mushrooms were very basic. The cocktails were bad. The espresso martini was undrinkable. The ambience was very crowded and cramped. And loud. Our server Jessica was wonderful, she was so attentive and beyond great. I’d go back just for the steak and salad and be very happy.

    Unfortunately, we had to wait almost an hour to sit down at our table, because the prior customer wasn’t going to leave. Given that they no longer have tables outside, they should really put a time limit on our reservation so that this does not happen. I like Arthur Jay’s but this was very disappointing. They did give us a few free shrimp cocktails.

    I hate to leave any negative review but this one experience left me really disappointed. upon arriving the hostess asked me for my name. she said our table isn’t ready. waiting to clear the other party. waited about 15 min. I then asked the man who was standing at the desk how much longer it would be and if we could sit at the nearby table that was vacant. this man was the assistant manager. wow was he rude. not a smile , no acknowledgment whatsoever , just stared at me blankly. I was with company and didn’t want to cause any problems because I wanted it to be a special night for all of us ,..but he left me feeling really annoyed. I never got his name but if anyone important is reading this we are last night on 5/3/23 our reservation was for 7:30. didn’t get seated til 7:50. only because I asked the hostess again to please check on our table. she was also pretty rude. had to ask me for my name again! and the noise level is another problem. way too loud in there.

    I made the reservation about a week in advance. I asked for a quiet table for a business meeting they gave us a booth right next to the bathrooms??? - the entire restaurant was packed and very loud. I bought an expensive bottle of wine and tipped the waiter for good service. The manager thanked me but I was disappointed with how loud the place was. Food is always excellent there so that’s the trade off - I think they should figure out a way to baffle the noise

    Everything was great .... a most enjoyable dining experience, except for the disappointment of some of us not being able to order prime rib. They were already out of it at 8pm, but what we ended up ordering was delicious just the same. The restaurant servers were friendly, helpful and most welcoming. Looking forward to our next visit at Arthur :).
