    Oh my this is easily the best buffet I've ever been to. We went for Mother's Day the service was so professional and friendly. Greeted with a glass of prosecco. Raw bar, caviar bar, charcuterie bar, juice bar, and THEN the phenomenal buffet. See pictures below. Very very relaxing place to dine as well! Can't wait to go again

    We went here for my bfs birthday and they treated us SO well. The restaurant is both elegant and comfortable. They greeted us at the door with fresh bone broth that was exquisite. They had me at hello haha. This was the most incredible steak I've ever had. True perfection. The hamachi was also by far the best and most creative preparation I've ever had. They also brought out a birthday dessert that was so delicious. I LOVE this place. I will be back. Perfect for special occasions! They don't miss a beat here. Even the bathrooms are elite.

    It has been a long time since we've dine at a steak house. We decided to come here for our 10 year anniversary celebration with our 4 year old in tow. It was amazing and delicious. We were given bone broth while we waited and it was so delicious. We were given a booth with an happy anniversary card which was a nice touch. They were really sweet to our little toddler. The food was delicious - we all enjoyed it. Very well presented. The restaurant itself was spacious and calming decor. Unlimited candy for you to select from and take home! Bathrooms were luxurious.

    I went to Be.Steak last friday. Reservation is 8pm. I have been there when it first open. 1) Decor, very nice 2) Front hostess, super nice and when you first walk in and check in. Will get bone broth soup in a small cup while you wait. 3) Their service is amazing, my waiter/server is Luke, he is very knowlegable about wine and steak. My husband and I have a lot of qn about steak and wine. His suggestion is wonderful. 4) Order a bunch of appertizer, and also order steak, scallops. Pasta, Salad. Dessert. My party has 4 persons, good to order more and share and try out. 5) Scallop is perfect, steak is good. Every thing's taste is very good. 6) Definitelly an expensive steak house. I saw it said michelin star. Every penny you spent is totally worth it. Highly recommended, will be back sometimes.

    This was my second time here. And I'll just say my first impression brought me back, however this does not seem to measure up to my memory. 1. No more beef bone broth when you come in. it was chicken bone broth BUT it was Amazing! The mushroom broth landed flat. 2. The dining room was much brighter than I recall. We ate in the bar at a high top. So for a steak house I just naturally gravitate towards a darker moody vibe. Not this place. 3. Ordered the Brazilian bombshell cocktail. Presented beautiful. Tastes good too. Had a harsh unexpected bitter. I did not want to finish the drink. 4. They provided a light complimentary veggies on ice with a dip. Tasted like butter but mixed with flavor (very unique). I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was but it was tasty. 5. Ate the delicious Burrata Pugliese. This comes with a fresh baked bread. This is a BIG Yes!! 5. My husband ordered whisky on a rock. Took way too long to deliver especially because the bar was not full and we sat right next to it. 6. Yam stones. The yam taste was super light. Nice crispy exterior and super light and fluffy inside, sitting on top of a light creamy sauce. I did not like this at all. These were so sticky to cut with a knife and fork. They use a mochi like dough so they are like eating mochi. Super chewy. Super sticky. I at 1/2 of one and chewed far too long. Didn't taste natural to me. Sent it back. However I saw lots of orders being delivered. 7. Charred cauliflower- this was very delicious. A flavorful compliment to the steak. Al dente just cooked enough to not mushy. Raisins are on top. Added a nice sweet. 8. Filet Mignon. Cooked to perfection. Great flavor. And topped with a seasoned butter. Excellent. So glad. It's a steak house, they got this right.

    Pecan pie

    Fancy place with lunch reservation, walked in on time and greeted right away with warm and savory broth, like it. The inside has up to date decorative lightings, also great set up for special occasions. Friday lunch, we had 5 mins just us , then people started to show up, noise level is decent. There are couple complimentary dishes from the chef , organic vegetables and flower - the ones are so good until we found lots of bugs on the lettuce , mentioned to the waitress, she claimed that is what it is for organic. I am wondering if organic means no need to wash ?! Well, she took away that plate, and didn't give us another one , even no asking on it , kinda of disappointed for a fancy service place . Another complimentary dish was the mash potato balls, they were ok , good as freebies. For the dishes we tried, very liked the bread waitress recommended: Faccaccio Di Recco -- Must try, freshly baked with cheese in side and Oliver oil outside, 5 star impression from my taste bud. Rib Eye , medium rare, good quality with disappointed looking and taste caramelized onions. The onion looked and tasted mushy, watery .... The truffle fry was good, only sad face when the waitress took away without asking if I want to bag the rest to go. Lastly, the pecan pie, 2 stars with the price I paid. The crust was hard, the pecan filling part was dry ... besides sweet and just sweet. Overall experience 3 out of 5 with high expectations on the dishes and services. We got complimentary cookies towards end, that is dry and hard like sugar rock. Sorry to be picky on even free stuff. Just hoped for something yummy and I won't feel quilt for that much sugar I ate. This is a place for special occasion celebration, and dish choice can determine the number of stars . This trip overall is 3.7, rounded up to 4.

    We came here to celebrate an anniversary. From the moment we entered to the minute we left, it was a fabulous time. The hosts in the beginning were so nice and offered us a warm broth to drink to prepare ourselves for the amazing meal we were about to have. We ended up ordering family style and shared all the dishes we ordered from the small bites to the HUGE porterhouse steak. I thought it was so cool to see the steak before they cooked it. I of course had my partner take a few pictures of me before we saw the final product. We loved the atmosphere and how genuinely friendly everyone was. I would come again!

(My group always takes each other out and treats the bday person.) I've actually always wanted to try their Sunday Brunch, but I am a steak lover. Dinner as an alternative was fine with me. We were seated at a table off in the corner which felt more private. So I'm not gonna lie, I'm super extra. Tho sometimes without realizing it. I can never eat a full steak. And I like my meat rare. When a friend who likes the same temp agreed to share, he mentioned he wanted the namesake steak. I agreed without really thinking about it or realizing the price. Holy cow! I have the best friends ever cuz that steak was expensive! And for two people, huge! (Go on with the TWSS jokes.) It was so tender and juicy tho. The perfect yum! There was an issue with the first steak. It was way overcooked for rare. Our server apologized profusely and sent out another one. And he let us keep the overcooked steak so others in our party who prefer a higher temp got to try it. Definitely a splurgy spot, but I had so much fun. A great special occasion meal. REVIEW #3853

    Very good service and food here! It was getting cold outside and nice to have a chicken broth when you entered the restaurant. All the chefs worked busy but happily inside the open kitchen made me very excited to have my first experience here. We were there for our anniversary and they took us a little bit darker( good mood) and I saw the message card on the table. The server gave us good recommendations and all the food we ordered were delicious! This restaurant made our anniversary special and we definitely come back again!

    Sticky toffee pudding
    Yuki K.

    We had an overall positive experience and most of the food was delicious but for a steakhouse, the $210 chateaubriand was beyond disappointing. For a cut known for its "extreme tenderness," the outside was too firm and chewy even though the inside was definitely medium rare. This was worse than a typical filet mignon and we "unfortunately" got 20 oz of it...it also came with two sauces (aerated Hollandaise and maybe au jus or something), both of which were basically flavorless. Most of the sides and appetizers we ordered were great though. - Steak tartare: Strong start to the meal. It came with 6 pieces of soft and buttery brioche, a plate of whipped beef tallow, and a huge bowl of steak tartare. We actually ran out of bread before we ran out of the tartare! - Lamb chop appetizer: Also amazing! The meat here was more tender than the chateaubriand and we loved the flavors of the jalapeno jelly + aioli on it - Yam stones: Reminded me of mochi donuts. Mildly sweet - Hasselback potatoes (complimentary dish that came with the chateaubriand): Potatoes were soft (perfect texture). Came sitting in a pool of watery sour cream that also didn't taste like much though - Pork fried rice: One of the servers called this "our twist on the Asian classic" but it didn't seem like a fusion dish. From the Calabrian chilis (very different from chili crisp) and spicy sausage (more like breakfast sausage than Taiwanese or Chinese pork sausage) to the pool of oil the rice sat in, nothing about it reminded me of typical pork fried rice at all. We ended up ordering the sticky toffee pudding for dessert (flambeed next to our table) but also got a free baked Alaska for the birthday dessert (with birthday/funfetti ice cream inside) and a sparkler. The sticky toffee pudding was very sweet (mostly because of the syrup)!

    Chicken broth as you enter the restaurant

    STRICTLY DUMPLING EPISODE On YouTube I'm subscribed to Strictly Dumpling, which is a food channel. There was an episode Mike Chen visited Be.Steak.A for Sunday brunch. After watching the episode a couple of years ago I wanted to come eat here. The first time I came here was November for Sunday brunch before Thanksgiving. In fact that day was about a week after my colonoscopy. If I was going to a buffet after that procedure I might as well spend the money by eating at Be.Steak.A for Sunday brunch. When I entered the restaurant the first offering was a drink that was part of the buffet. Since I was driving I decided to get a glass of apple cider. The setup of the buffet is unique. The grilled meat and hot items are served in the kitchen. The non-hot items are served inside the dining room. As I'm paying a lot of this buffet I went to the kitchen to select varieties of meat for my first plate, which included porchetta, bacon, prime rib, scrambled eggs, and beef wellington. I'll start by saying the beef wellington here is better than beef wellington at Gordon Ramsey Steak at Vegas. That has to do with the pastry with its flaky crust has a texture of a croissant. The porchetta had the balance of fat and meat. The scrambled eggs were wet. My second plate included devil ribs. I am not a fan of deviled eggs as the sauce can be too heavy, but the sauce on the devil ribs was lightly coated. For my second plate I also had the poached egg on sourdough toast. My third plate consisted mostly of breakfast items. The waffles were airy. The Italian sausage was meaty. The only non-breakfast item on that plate was the filet mignon with chimichurri, which added flavor to the steak. My last plate included octopus skewers, asparagus, salmon, beef wellington, and croissant with honey. Due to the quality of items I will say the Sunday brunch buffet at Be.Steak.A is similar to Las Vegas buffets. I did not have a tomahawk steak for this buffet as was depicted in the Strictly Dumpling episode. However after the restaurant I smelled the smoke of the almond wood. Due to the smell I wanted to come here next time for steak. The next time I came here was the Thursday before Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. I had in mind ordering the signature steak The Be.Steak.A. However when my server Aaron stated that the size of the porterhorse could be too much for one person to eat I asked what other steak he recommended. He stated the strip loin. After about five minutes of thinking I stuck to my guns; I decided the The Be.Steak.A. I asked my server what pasta he suggested. He said the most popular pasta customers order was the tarjarin al tartufo because of the black truffles. However the Filipino inside was thinking about rice. I asked my server about the pork fried rice. He said that's his favorite item at the restaurant. Sold. The signature steak is a porterhouse. The size of my porterhouse was 51 ounces. The pork fried rice at Be.Steak.A tastes better than at most Chinese restaurants. First the rice is fluffy yet not sticky. Second you can taste the pork flavor. Third the pork fried rice was light. Despite the thick portion the porterhouse wasn't fatty but lean. This beneficial as I was able to finish the steak without having the "meat sweats". Even though I asked for medium rare the porterhouse didn't taste pasty. There's one flaw with the porterhouse it was over seasoned. With marrow butter and tempura enoki I couldn't taste the steak. Also I couldn't smell the smokiness of the almond wood. I wasn't going to get dessert. However that night was the last week of serving the dessert item Pommes & Parm, which included white chocolate mousse on foie gras caramel. Sold. I love foie gras especially on desserts as it adds a buttery texture. I wasn't disappointed with my dessert. I enjoyed my two visits here. I couldn't rate this place a 5-star because of its signature steak, which was the most expensive steak I ever paid at a restaurant. If the steak was less seasoned not only I could've smell the smokiness of the almond wood but also I would've tasted beefy flavor. Due to the prices I paid for the Sunday brunch and porterhouse I do not see myself coming to Be.Steak.A anytime soon. However I can see myself coming back Be.Steak.A again.

    We had the most wonderful dinner, here last night. It was our first time here. We were celebrating my birthday, which was indicated in our reservation. When we arrived and checked in, we were offered house made chicken bone broth in small cups to take with us to our table. It was actually pretty good. We were guided to our table. The restaurant is very elegant inside. Our table was beautifully set for us with a birthday card for me on the middle of the table. I thought that was so thoughtful. When I opened the card a $2.00 bill fell out, to my surprise. What a nice touch. Our waiter, Juan, gave us each a damp cloth to wipe our hands. He guided us through the menu. He let us know the specials. He also gave his recommendations, which we appreciated. We started the night off with some cocktails. My husband ordered the Amari old fashioned and I ordered a vodka dirty martini. That martini was the best I ever had. It was presented beautifully on a silver tray with a tiny chilled bowl with the garnish for the drink. It also came with a tiny cup of extra olive brine if you desire a bit more salty flavor. I thought it was made perfectly. For our starter we had the wedge salad. We also decided to try the focaccia di recco. The salad arrived chilled and delicious. We were given chilled forks for the salad. With each course a fresh plate and silverware were given. The focaccia was absolutely delicious and a must try. The melted cheese gave it a bit of richness. It's a very thin bread nothing like the usual thick and dense focaccia we are used to. We both loved it. We both ordered the tiny French onion soup and it was the perfect size. It was delicious. The chef sent a tray of veggies and garlic dip for our table. That was very nice. For our pasta, we decided to share the Agnolotti. It's a pasta filled with braised beef and topped with roasted hazelnut nuts in a Demi glaze sauce with Parmesan on top. Very delicious. We also tried the rock shrimp gratin. It was a bit watery but full of flavor. The shrimp were perfectly cooked. I'd get this again but ask for it to be less watery. For our protein, we shared the chateaubriand that is served table side, seasoned and cut in front of you and served with a Hollandaise sauce. This was done a perfect medium rare. The meat was so flavorful and seasoned perfectly. It was a lot of meat. We took the rest of it home. The chef also sent a dish, to our table, of roasted potatoes in a parsley butter sauce that was really good. We really enjoyed that. For dessert we tried the mixed berry cobbler. The filling was tart and the crust was sweet so it paired perfectly together. They also brought out a mini baked Alaska for my birthday with a firework like candle. That was so nice and fun. The baked Alaska was very good. Before we left we were given an after dinner liqueur, that was very strong. I could only have a few sips. I was also given a treat bag with two Italian amoretti cookies. That was so sweet. They really went out of their way to make my birthday extra special. Our leftover food was packaged for us in a nice black bag with red tissue paper, and placed on the hook under our table. We were there a total of three hours and the time went by fast. It was like being on a culinary excursion. All our food was spaced out so we could savor it and prepare for the next course. The bathroom is beautiful, by the way. They have salt scrub for your hands and all the toilettes are automated bidet toilettes. Before you leave they have little candies you can take for the road. The customer service here is exquisite. Everyone is very professional and polite. It is a bit pricey, but I think it's worth it for the quality of food, service, and experience. This was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. I highly recommend coming here for a special occasion.

    Great service, I enjoyed every moment here. This restaurant served Italian style steak & pasta, maybe that's why we're not really familiar with these flavors. But it's still a great dining experience. I really like lobster risotto, it's the best dish I tried here. I also enjoy the complimentary chicken broth served the moment you step in to the restaurant, it's so warm and comforting

    Meatball, it was amazing! Just try it already!

    See all

    Will they have an Easter Sunday BUFFET in 2026? How much for adults?

    How come my reservation is not working for the brunch?

    How much is the buffet?

    $110 per person

    I noticed that some Sundays you have crab legs and some you don't? Is it only on special occasions?

    Is there a Happy Hour Menu?

    Yes in the bar area every day! From 5:00 - 6:00 P.M

    Are there gluten free options for the Sunday brunch?

    I'm

    Not indoors

    What does pdr2 means in the reservation site?

    I have no idea but if you were to call the restaurant, I'm sure they could tell you.

    Is there a separate lunch menu?

    Yes they only open lunch Fri-Sun now! And Sunday Brunch Special Buffet is around $100 fantastic! Think of the Ritz Carlton style buffet.

    Is there a fixed service charge (18-20%)?... some restaurants are moving to this pricing strategy.

    No there's a 5% surcharge and you have to tip on top

    20.00

    Is foie gras served here? What is the dress code?

    They offer SEARED FOIE GRAS for $36. The dress is relaxed, business casual.

    For their all you can eat Sunday brunch, do you know if they charge full price for a 6yo child? Other restaurants offer either a kids menu or reduced price, would be ridiculous if they charge full price for a 6yo.

    All guests is $98. Children under 10 is $49.

    I saw an email about opening for weekend brunch but can no longer find it. When will brunch service start? looking forward to trying it! Thank you

    August. I think they are accepting reservation now. Just posted their announcement.

    I've been to OCK a number of times over the years and always enjoyed the inventive dishes, the…read morecocktails and well-stocked bar, knowledgeable bartenders, and helpful servers. Just never got around to working a review before. Went early on a Saturday evening recently and was surprised to not have to wait. We split a Bibb lettuce salad that was simple, refreshing and perfect. A tiny pea fritter was the very definition of a small bite, and while it wasn't what I expected, it was crisp and tender. Grilled artichoke was one of the best I have ever had. (Just wish they had been explicit on the menu that it was a half a grilled artichoke). Cocktails were up to their usual high standard -- rye Manhattan for the BF and clarified milk punch for me. I don't get out much these days and I rarely drink alcohol, but is $20 a lot for a cocktail? Or is that normal now? They were great though. BF got the ribeye with morels, which was perfectly cooked and unbelievably tender. I had the burger, which was more exciting than it sounds, dressed with a wild combo of veggies, cheese and bacon while still managing to be harmonious and fresh tasting. Side of fries were crisp and tasty, though not as perfectly hot as I would ideally wish. Because the burger was late coming out, or server (Bernardo I think?) comped us an amazing little dish of vanilla soft serve ice cream with olive oil and sea salt, along with the butterscotch pudding that we ordered. The pudding didn't have the strong butterscotch flavor that I hoped for, but the vanilla ice cream stole the dessert show. OCK isn't a place I can afford often, but I still really like it. I appreciate the creativity of the dishes, the quality ingredients, and the bar. And the old-school shopping center vibe of the Pruneyard is low key festive and garden-like. The interior of the restaurant is kind of standard-industrial modern, but nicely so. Oh, and their glassware is super nice.

    I have reviewed here before but a lot has changed recently and I love it. Firstly I want to point…read moreout that Denise (I hope I'm spelling it correctly) gave us the best service we have ever received. She was bubbly and genuinely seemed like she enjoyed working there. She was attentive but not overbearing and gave great recommendations. Even if the food was not good, we would still come back because she made it such a pleasant experience. Thankfully the food is also amazing. I have always been addicted to the triple B and the KFC so I was nervous when I tried the new versions recently. I enjoyed them both more than I had previously. The triple B was smaller but the biscuit had much more flavor, depth and was more pillowy. The KFC had always been my favorite and the new version did not change that at all. The chicken was much juicier, and it had a lot more substance. The chicken pieces were thicker and the sauce was delicious. It's reminiscent of a chicken and waffle dish because I believe the sauce has some sort of maple syrup. The dishes have changed but I'm a huge fan of the change. I will continue to come here and I am glad to see that this place doesn't seem to want to stop getting better.

    Tried Hero Ranch Kitchen for my husband's birthday last Tuesday night. We found street parking…read moreabout a block away and reported to the outside stand for our 7 pm reservation. The hostess was very friendly and showed us to our table. We had a table inside, which was an intimate upscale casual area with a bar. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms for a starter. It was so hard to pick one because everything on the menu sounds so good. Alas, I have a small appetite. The mushrooms were very tasty and a nice start to our meal. For entrees, we had the halibut and prime filet with a side of broccolini. Everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Drinks are on the pricey side- I had a Hero Old Fashioned and the Taylor Made, $20 each. They were nicely crafted, so worth the price. They brought out a Carmel Popcorn Sundae for my husband's birthday and even gave him a birthday card which I thought was a nice touch. Service was slow and steady. We had ample time to enjoy our food without feeling rushed, but never felt like our server forgot about us. We spent about 2 hours for dinner. Probably not a place to go if you're in a hurry. I'm eager to return and try some more of the starters. It's the kind of place I'd love to take out of town guests - high quality fine dining in a casual and relaxed environment.

The food was again wonderful and we went this time with a couple who recommended the eggplant appetizer am which was by blade the best I've had. Smothered in rich tomato sauce with the eggplant thinly sliced and rolled around ricotta it just melts in your mouth. We also expanded our selections and tried the squid ink pasta with frutte di mare and the risotto with the same seafood accompaniment. I subbed out the risotto for linguine and both were filled with plenty of seafood varieties and a generous portion. Highly recommend the two. We also had the veal which is a consistent winner for my friend who has been here many times. Won't drone on but this is a solid Italian destination if you are in the area!

    We came for the Mother's Day brunch and, for the price point, we left pretty underwhelmed…read more Champagne really should have been unlimited, and unfortunately the food was a huge letdown overall. Most of the food in the chafing dishes was cold, including the carving steak station. The made-to-order omelette station took quite a while and initially was only offered as a vegetarian option, though we were eventually able to add protein. Even then, it was just okay. The dessert and fruit assortment were also pretty average. On the positive side, the seafood assortment was excellent and the made-to-order waffles were definitely a highlight. Our server, Estefania, and the support staff were top-notch and provided excellent service throughout the experience. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and beautifully designed.

We were originally a larger party, but a few friends fell out and we ended up with the final four. Tho I'm sure we made up with it in ordering. The bigger table came in handy. The server was very understanding. I was pescatarian at the time, so did not take part in all the meat offerings. But I've been to other locations and their steaks are usually pretty good. Their seafood is for a steakhouse. The sea bass was moist and slippery. The lobster bisque was creamy and decadent. One thing that's always consistent at Mastro's is their cocktails. I always get the grey goose martini and it never disappoints. Parking here is awful. I don't ever remember Valley Fair being this bad. Plus, now that you have to pay for parking, you'd think it would get better. Anyways, basically come early to give yourself enough time to find a spot. Good for a special occasion dinner since it can get pricey. REVIEW #4042

Everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere was inviting with soft lighting. We all ordered the Jager Schnitzel, it was creamy and delicioussss!
