As a fan and patron to Orchard City Kitchen--and Alexander's Steakhouse previously when Jeffrey Stout was at the helm--I was thrilled making a reservation at Be.Steak.A for my 53rd birthday this past Saturday. I couldn't have been more impressed or satisfied with every component of my meal: the quality, presentation, and whimsy of the cuisine; the pacing, friendliness, and informativeness of the service; and the eclectic, mid-century modern interior design. The meal: A free amuse bouche of spring vegetables with a miso/farmer's cheese dip kicked off the meal along with two esoteric and whimsical cocktails served in eclectic mid-century modern glasses with gold trim. Here's one example: a cognac cocktail with apricot liquor, apple spices, lemon juice, and a delicately sweet/tart egg white foam on top. Delicious! Next we ordered a lovely shaved trumpet mushroom and pear salad with truffle and pecorino-roman. Delicate, light, and abundantly flavorful. Then we ordered a ravioli (they have a pasta chef in house who is working magic on the pasta program) with Noni's bolognese. Having eaten and enjoyed real deal Italian food for decades alongside my wife's Italian side of the family (frequent trips with family to Italy tasting cuisine from Naples up to Turino), this pasta is real deal--delicate, perfectly al dente, subtle, nuanced, and abundant with flavor from the freshest, high quality ingredients. Topping it off was the piece de la resistance which was $98 rib eye cooked over live wood. It was PERFECT and worth every God damn penny. LB Steak and these other alleged steakhouses in our area don't even compare. We had this with the Cacio e Pepe artichokes (shaved thin with a crispy breadcrumb and toasted black peppercorns). Finished with two desserts that we didn't even order--the server said "I got this for you" and gave us two of the best desserts on the menu: one was a baked Alaska with a passion fruit sorbet and the other a chocolate budding with brownie bread crumbs, caramel, and some other interesting off-sweet ingredients that really popped. Loved, loved, loved the food. Service: AND the server let us pace out our meal over 3 hours: 5 to after 8 p.m. No racing, no bringing out dishes one after the other to clear the table. Just wonderful ebb and flow with runners pouting water and clearing plates every 10 minutes. We were pampered from beginning to end including, ironically, our visit to the restroom with "Tokyo toilets" (think HAL 9000-it does everything), and this rosemary/peppermint salt scrub at the sink which made me feel like I was in a spa. Our server's recommendation on drinks was spot-on; his recommendations on items to order for a full-spectrum meal was spot-on; and his helping us by deciding dessert (a duo of desserts no less) was spot-on as well. Highly recommend. Ambiance: It's mid-century modern with lines that feel like something off of an early 20th century cruise liner. Elegance and refined in a way that's hard to put into words. Everything feels curated and very well thought out: the original, nostalgic china and stemware and cocktail glasses; the natural, light woods on the floor and walls; the ambient "lounge" music; the waiters shaving freshly curated meats, pouting library wine into decanters; the prosciutto broth cup that's given complimentary upon walking in; the open kitchen with Ferrari red accents--even down to the Ninja bandanas of chef line; the automatic, heavy wooden door that opens automatically coming in and then exiting after a 3 hour dining odyssey. In short, the restaurant is a "vibe" and a vibe I wish I could afford to do more often than birthdays and anniversaries. read more

Another amazing experience here! We came in on a Monday with reservations to celebrate the hubs bday and our wedding anniversary Came in and got greeted with chicken bone broth yum. We got seated and one of the staff asked if we wanted my flowers to be placed in a vase. Exceptional service. We also saw a card for my hubs bday and our first anniversary. They put a crisp 2$ bill inside the bday card! Our waters and sparkling water was constantly being filled and plates constantly being picked up. The flow and timing of the courses was excellent Our server was excellent as well and accommodated the many food restrictions I asked for regarding the tasting menu lol We tried their 7 course tasting menu "everything old is new again" and we were throughly impressed by the presentation, story behind it, the taste and surprises here and there with the experience. We enjoyed everything we tried. I didn't like that taste and smell of the crystal bread but my husband thought it was fine The first course came in a box! So cute!! Second course was also presented uniquely which I enjoyed Cute hand rolled pastas for the 3rd course Scallops came in on a clam shell :) 5th course came on a nice tray with a B on the creamed corn 6th course had a variety of yummy desserts. Also they gave us two charms for "b" "steak" so cute Last course was a dessert where they heated up the alcohol in front of us and poured the sauce on top very nice touch They took a Polaroid picture of us and placed it in a small folder with the tasting menu inside as a memory. Loved it! We've done a tasting menu at another place and b.steak takes the cake! It was pretty busy there for a Monday but not packed, so perfect amount of people and great ambiance. We wanna try their brunch one day. Price was high but worth it Highly recommend this restaurant. It's our favorite in the Bay Area read more

So many great things to say about Be.Steak.A! We were served a perfectly little cup of hot broth as soon as you walk in. The team had signed a nice 'happy anniversary' card that they placed on the table for us. Every time an employee walked by, they congratulated us. They gave us a complimentary glass of bubbly to celebrate. It looked like there was a wine club meet that night so it was very crowded and a bit louder than we would've liked inside. The food... where do I begin?! The things we tried: -The little mixed veggies they brought with the dip - omg! That dip was amazing. -Focaccia di recco: delicious crispy flatbread with melted cheese on top. -Spicy meatball: Interestingly really enjoyed this one. It's one big meatball, and wasn't expecting it to be spicy at all but had a really good kick to it! -Tajarin al tartufo: truffle-overloaded pasta. This was really good. Because it's pretty heavy, I'd recommend getting this to share along with other dishes. I'm not sure if it's worth $95 though... maybe if it was $75. I'm still really glad I tried it, but probably wouldn't get it again for the price. -Yam stones: I have mixed feelings about this one - I think my tastebuds may have been confused. It was good but the creme inside tasted a bit like sour cream to me and not sure how much I liked that. -Rib eye: WOW! So juicy, perfectly cooked to medium rare, so flavorful. Honestly we had so much food we couldn't finish this and took some home, and even the next day after re-heating it the steak wasn't dry. Another dish with a lot of truffle-flavor. -Mysterious dessert: marshmallow with ice cream inside. The marshmallow was torched but the ice cream inside was completely intact, cold, and not melted! Delicious and unique! The food is fantastic, it is beautiful inside, and the service was 100/10. Thank you Paul! Honestly, the service alone would bring us back to Be.Steak.A. Thank you for an absolutely amazing anniversary meal! We will be back :) read more

Service: excellent in every way from the moment we walked in the door to the moment we left. Drinks: very good cocktails. Price point is a little high but I rather pay extra for an excellent cocktail than a little less for a mediocre cocktail. Food: amuse bouche of cold vegetables with a garlic dip set up the whole meal and was both simple and incredible. Bread was worth the cost. Pear/mushroom carpaccio was a valiant attempt at a fresh, original dish but it just fell short. Can't really put my finger on it, maybe a bit more acid? Riper pears? Carbonara was tasty although a bit heavy. Nevertheless, we fished it off and were happy with the dish. Asparagus side dish only annoyed me because it was exactly what I try to do at home with asparagus but fail. Fantastic in every way. Roasted prime rib was perfect. Optional au jus helped make the dish; don't pass on the au jus. Porcetta chop was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Sauce was also excellent. Too full for desert Another fantastic meal at Be.Steak.A. One minor faux pas with the appetizer but we walked out very happy. I cannot praise the service enough here, from being greeted at the door, seated, served, and "welcomed out", everybody who works there is excellent. read more

We had high expectations based on our first experience and this place continues to impress and delight. The staff is exceptional and the teamwork is seamless. You can tell they all take pride in working there. The wine list and cocktails are thoughtful and carefully crafted. Espresso Martini was sublime. Highly recommend the Burrata Pugliese to start. Amazing bread puffed pockets to fill with creamy burrata cheese. While a unique and unexpected offering for a Florentine style restaurant, the Pork Fried Rice was recommended and did not disappoint. Consistency and flavor were on point with just a little kick. The Filet steak was amazing. Top quality and flavor and goes to another level when topped the crab Oscar. A table side prep of the Tiramisu was a simple yet fantastic and delicious finish to our meal. NOTE: First Filet was undercooked and was immediately noticed by our server. He (Luke) worked with his manager to promptly address the issue and replaced the steak with a proper medium rare cook. Took complete ownership. Good things are more likely to happen when you're honest and polite. Expect to pay bay area typical prices for a place of this caliber. Dishes tend to run small-ish so be sure to ask your server about portion size and quantity for the table. The open concept style lends itself to higher noise levels so be prepared for a more lively environment. read more

We received a message from the business owner and from the sous chef to basically "please let us redo it." They were sad that we were unhappy how the tomahawk came out, so they wanted to make it up for us. Very rarely does anyone reaches out for a second chance and we weren't sure what it would entail, nor did we want to assume, but regardless we took up their offer and spent another night at Be.Steak.A. When we entered they made special note for us that this wasn't going to be an ordinary night. That night, we were provided a special, catered tasting, meticulously planned and personally cooked and prepared by the sous chef himself. We were already off to a great start when we noticed the cocktail menu has changed quite a bit. I ordered the smooth operator, which takes roots from grass hopper but with an extra twist that makes this a satisfying dessert alcohol. My sisters each ordered the Palazzo Pygamos and Royale Rosé which all came in beautiful cups. I had to search for them because I want to buy these myself. Next comes the first taste, a non-menu item which is akin to fried mash potatoes with black truffle atop and mustard seed on the bottom. Quite honestly an impressive start as this altogether got us wanting more. Next was their French onion soup which they used Raclette. I love it as the cheese isn't overpowering, and it allows the soup and the added raw green onion intermingle with the flavor. And I must say, the green onion adds a new dimension to the soup. Next is the perfectly seared scallops surrounded by cream of corn sago. A new combination I've never seen, yet sago with the sweet corn works well, and the perfect scallop can be eaten with or without the corn sago. Next was a surprise: Hamachi crudo, but this time, not rolled up. Apparently we are now in the summer menu so a lot of old items are redux for now. I love the changes here: not only is it easier to portion this time but the added pine nuts and raisins provides a new refreshing taste. Next is their White Truffle Pasta Tajarin Al Tartufo Bianco. The truffle adds a nice earthy flavor to an otherwise.... Almost bland pasta. I love that the pasta is homemade, but it also felt a slight bit undercooked this time. I can see what they were going for, but unfortunately not something I enjoyed. Lastly, the tomahawk finally arrived but this time with different sides. Was the tomahawk redeemed? I say yes. It's a bit on the bluer side than a medium rare which means the fatty parts aren't as seared, but this is still an overall huge improvement from what they had before. The side bread included is a bit on the vinegary side but I can eat bit by bit. They also provided us a redux of the fried rice, this time with hot sausage. Again I think this is a fantastic variant as I do love the spicy sausage used here! Cream of corn is divine and sweet! By far a great new item menu they've added for summer! There's another plate of creamy mashed potatoes with Wagyu fat rendered gravy sauce. My goodness! What a cool idea i have never thought about! All the left over fat that needs to be trimmed off can go straight to gravy! Genius! This was by far the most addicting mashed potatoes and gravy I've had. For dessert, we went with basil key lime pie. Again' another strange-bedfellows that actually works well! Quite inventive and honestly, inventive. Overall, a huge improvement that I am happy to have come back. Thank you! read more

I really enjoyed dinner here. I was not prepared to overeat so much delicious food! You will not leave here hungry. Ambiance is very nice. Getting to walk by the gorgeous, pristine kitchen was a treat for me. You know your food is being prepared with care in a kitchen like that. Decor is pleasing And I really appreciated the beautiful plates the food is served on. The little details show they care. Service is what you would expect from a restaurant like this. Extremely attentive and welcoming. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and didn't miss a beat. Food was incredible. Stand outs for me were the mashed potatoes, asparagus, yam stones, and ravioli. Bread service was good, but the house-made butter is what made the bread great. Tomahawk Chop was many meal's worth of meat. I brought home enough food for two more meals so I guess when you consider that it's a good value for the money. Came for a special occasion and received a Baked Alaska for dessert. It was beautifully prepared and tasted great. Was too full to order a dessert from the menu but I look forward to returning in hopes to not overeat next time and be able to try one. If you have a little extra cash to splurge on a great meal and dining experience, this is the place! read more

My new favorite steakhouse! My go-to was Alexander's in Cupertino, but it always felt a little too classy and high brow for me. It's great for a special occasion, but if I am just craving steak, it's not really the place to go to. I like Be.Steak.A just because the atmosphere is so much more me. Very Californian and laid back. The restaurant is GORGEOUSLY decorated. Beautiful without feeling too fancy. When you enter, you are first given this complimentary little cup of bone broth to prep you for your meal. It is DELICIOUS! If I could, I would order a glass of that on its own. The service is probably the second best part, right behind the food. Very helpful, friendly, and fresh hot towels to clean your hands before the meal. You spill something (even if it's a small amount), they will promptly clean the table or cover it with new linens. My favorite dish was the filet mignon. Perfectly cooked and tender. I've tried the gnocchetti, pappardelle, and carbonara. All three are yummy. You won't be disappointed. Special shout out to the spicy meatball. I mean it's literally one meatball, but my husband loved it. Not too spicy and bursting with flavor. Don't forget to stop by the candy table before you leave for some exotic sweets. read more

The closest I can get to Vegas buffets in the Bay Area! O R D E R E D Came here for Sunday buffet brunch - I haven't been here for dinner yet so this review is JUST for the buffet. V E R D I C T This is probably the closest I'll get to Vegas buffet and what I mean by that is in 1) good quality 2) good variety and 3) great presentation! Of course it's a bit pricier than even Bacchanal Buffet in Vegas but the variety and quality of food that you get here, makes you feel leveled up. Items I tried include [but not limited]: salmon roe, fresh oysters, fresh sashimi, truffle deviled eggs, steak, salmon poke, mussels, shrimp cocktail, charcuterie, lots of fresh bread, wedge caesar salad, caviar, and much more! They have the main dining room with buffet trays and platters, along with inside their kitchen with some hot dishes. There was also so much dessert choices, like boba, tiramisu, cake pops, caramel apple beignets, monkey bread, ice cream. You can't go wrong with their cocktails, we tried the coconut cocktail, old fashion, and a mystery drink the bartender made. read more

Doing a fresh review as I'm still full from my meal here 9 hours ago. Came for the Sunday Brunch for $115 and it did not disappoint. Only thing I could possibly knock the grade down for is the price, but you know what you're getting into to. First, upon arrival you are greeted with a nice orange-carrot something something juice that sets a great tone. Walk past the kitchen and buffet sections right into the seats. The interior was really nice and spacious. I wish I remembered our waiter's name, but he was terrific. Promptly explained the good layout situation and offered drinks, lucky for me, my girlfriend doesn't drink so double mimosas for me. He was also taking care of a large party next to us but made sure we were taking care of. I'm sure I had at least $100 worth of caviar alone. There were four types, one what you would consider traditional caviar (others seemed to agree since it always ran out quick, two were tobiko you would get from sushi, and the last were larger type (salmon perhaps?). Either way, I had tons and pro-tip here is to get some eggs and put caviar onto that. I really appreciated that even though one was clearly everyone's favorite and ran out often, it was pretty quickly filled back up so they are not going cheap here. The shrimp are some of the largest you will ever see and the oysters with apple mignonette were fresh and tasty. Another favorite item that was quickly eaten and replenished. Strangely my only item I did not care for was the prime rib. It was medium rare but somehow a bit flavorless and chalky. The filet was great and had a nice Smokey flavor while underrated items were hash with aioli, roasted carrots, toad in a hole (if you find one with a nice runny yolk), clam chowder, and the two Rilettes - smoked fish and pork. The juices there were also amazing. I could really run down the list but everything was great. I would also recommend at least one slice of bread to try the French butters they have - very Brie like and delicious - and also the croissant to try their daily seasonal jams. A few bites of dessert rounded everything off nicely - not a huge dessert fan but still tried a handful and the gelato was divine. Can't say enough good things about my meal. Everything from the staff to the restrooms were on point and we never had to flag anyone down to bring us anything and even the check came at the right time without us needing to feel rushed. The entire time the restaurant was about half capacity and never got close to busy. Good as a diner but a little odd considering it was prime eating time. Lastly, of course you are offered a nice little to-go cup of hot cider to walk out with. You're looking at close to $300 for two once all is said and done with tax/tip but worth the splurge in my opinion. read more

I had brunch here recently with some friends and really enjoyed. They go all out for the Sunday brunch. All kinds of different dishes. Typical breakfast fare like waffles, eggs, bacon, pastries. Then tons of lunch type stuff like steak and other meats at a carving station. Tons of salads and fruit and desserts. I loved the steak and several of the breakfast items. Enjoyed the salads and fresh fruit. Desserts were good but always seemed to be empty. The gelato freezer kept running out and lots of the desserts were empty spots. So that was the only issue. Loved going in the kitchen to get the hot foods. Did not like having to pay bar prices for a tiny mini diet coke. Overall a nice brunch though and I want to try it for dinner and get a steak. read more

Had the most wonderful dining experience here for my birthday! My boyfriend made reservations, and as soon as we were checked in we were offered hot chicken bone broth from the host. Our server, Robert greeted us and offered us hot hand towels. The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful, so modern and clean. We ordered the steak tartare and lamb chops as appetizers, both of which were delicious. My boyfriend and I both had the ribeye with escargot and it was a generous portion and seasoned very well. I tried the ramos fizz and it was delicious. The only thing I did not enjoy was the dessert. The free birthday dessert wasn't my favorite, and my boyfriends lava cake was definitely not worth $20... All in all, I would definitely recommend for a nice occasion. read more

While waiting for my order I was offered a warm cup of beef broth. Very intense and delicious. I would come back just for that. Calming ambiance and super friendly while giving you space and time to enjoy every part of your meal. I like my meat thin and well done on both sides. No disappointment here. Fully sensory qualified. read more

This is our go-to place for steak. Best quality in the bay area, in my opinion. Definitely come with a big group so you can get the mega hawk and porterhouse. Absolutely delicious. Love all the cocktail options as well. My favorite dish is the yam stones, MUST GET. It's like yam mochi melting in your mouth. The focaccia is fun, you get to cut it with scissors . We used to always get the bone marrow workshop but they got rid of it...so sad. It was so unique and fun to wear gloves and dig out your own fatty pieces. Now it's a bone marrow plate. Don't forget to visit the candy table after! You feel like a kid on Halloween. read more

First off, don't come here expecting not to at least spend some money. Yes, there are some cheaper options on the menu but even their burger at lunch is $24 (and it's excellent) so don't expect to skimp since some of the better dishes will cost a little more. Their small bites section of their dinner menu is probably my favorite part funny enough -- the meatball is incredible and exactly what you want if you're ordering that; and the onion soup is good too. Haven't heard a complaint from anyone about the steaks when I've been, and my experience has been great on those as well. For other dishes my favorite is the pork fried rice and the truffle pasta is a close second. The hamachi crudo is good and normally comes out in slices although one time it came out "diced/cubed" and wasn't as good for me as sliced. Staff is incredible as you'd expect so can't say much there. Be sure to take a peek into the kitchen as you walk into the restaurant as it is very impressive. Sister restaurant is Orchard City Kitchen right around the corner from this place btw. So if you like OCK you will definitely love Be Steak A. read more

Remember when you started dabbling with makeup as a teen and overdid it... Too much eyeshadow, too much blush, and a lipstick color that clashed. Back then, there was no YouTube or TikTok so I ended up looking like Bozo, the clown. Less is more, yea? That's how I felt about Be.Stéak.Ă. With such stellar ingredients, I felt like they're being extra when they don't need to be. When you have a great canvas, little has to be done to make it shine. Be.Stéak.Ă (OCK's sister reso) has been on my list to try so I decided to take a plunge for a very belated NYE dinner. They're open for takeout, indoor dining, and outdoor dining. Glad that the patio is now dog-friendly. M E N U Modern, luxe steakhouse with Italian influences (housemade pastas) and a touch of Asian (pork fried rice). Full bar. Def bring a thiccc wallet (or your sugar daddy/mama) because this is a place where you can ball out with caviar service, lobster, and A5 waygu. For lunch service, there's a $98 prix-fixe or an abbreviated dinner menu available. For Sunday brunch service, the buffet is $110 pp. D R I N K S * Hendricks Gibson ($21): https://tinyurl.com/mtkebjvx Solid and stiff; not too much vermouth which is my preference. * Meletti Fernet, Italy (comped) Herbaceous and subtle mint flavor compared to Fernet Menta. * Spadoni Fernet, Vintage 2000s, Italy ($17): https://tinyurl.com/ytueaa4u Fernet is hard to find in the SB so I was surprised to find a vintage option here. 51% abv...heeeey! Very smooth and herbaceous, not too astringent. F O O D * Complimentary Chicken Bone Broth The bone broth was hot and comforting on a wintery, drizzly night. * Complimentary Crudités w/ mascarpone dip: https://tinyurl.com/2vbyyh6n Cancels out the meatfest! * Chilled Beau Soleil Oysters w/ limoncello granita, melon, pink peppercorn, basil (1/2 dozen - $34): https://tinyurl.com/4a6557tj Sounded great on paper but the accompaniments overshadowed the fresh oysters. * Tajarin Al Tartufo: Hand cut pasta, parmesan fonduta, black perigord truffles ($48): https://tinyurl.com/27x4u82x and https://tinyurl.com/2s3crrmw Based on the reviews, we should of skipped this. The noodles were dry and undercooked. The fonduta sauce was rich and silky but just tasted like cream; IMO, it needed seasoning and truffle flavor incorporated into the sauce, not just scant truffle shavings for garnish (compared to earlier pics). * Prime Rib w/ roasted onion, natural jus, horseradish cream, basil crostino ($66): https://tinyurl.com/mrx3fv4u ***Requested rarest cut. A sizeable slab of prime rib but we agreed that it was on the tough and dry side without the jus. And, the accompanying horseradish cream tasted more like cream than horseradish. * Spinalis w/ black garlic breadcrumbs, kizami wasabi chimichurri, roasted garlic purée ($70): https://tinyurl.com/yck26ntm ***Requested medium rare. For a such a prized, richly marbled cut, I was ugly crying inside when the ribeye cap arrived covered in sauce. The wasabi chimichurri + garlic purée + garlic breadcrumbs clashed and was so salty. It completely overpowered and masked the flavor of the spinalis. It looks like most of their steaks contain some type of sauce. If you're a purist, maybe request it on the side? * Mashed Potatoes w/ wagyu-colatura gravy ($17) Solid - rich and creamy smooth. * Mushroom Pot Pie w/ porcini ragù, parmesan pie crust, marsala, zabaglione ($22) Deliciously buttery and flaky crust but the filling was unpleasantly gloopy and clumpy with minimal mushrooms. * The Crème Brûlée w/ whipped buttermilk, blackberry pavlova, cassis ($15): https://tinyurl.com/mvxbnst3 Good - a thin layer of rich custard crowned with a large surface area of crackly caramelized sugar. Before leaving, you'll receive a little baggie for the candy bar. S E R V I C E Hats off to the wonderful staff because service was on-point! The staff was polished, knowledgeable, attentive, and approachable. Shout-out to the hostess, Stephanie and our server, Paul because they were awesome. Food service is leisurely so make sure go with someone/people you actually want to spend time with. A M B I A N C E Minimalist, simple elegance with an exhibition kitchen. Love the outdoor patio with the fireplace. Even though it was cold and sprinkling, it was warm and cozy. Two of three bidets weren't fully functioning. I guess some customers (me!) got too excited with the "massaging" function and broke it. P A R K I N G Located outside the perimeter of The Pruneyard, parking was fairly easy in the plaza. Overall, awesome FOH staff and outdoor patio (5 stars). Maybe we ordered wrong but the food missed the mark and left a lot to be desired (2.5 stars) especially when comparing to Alexander's and fine dining restos in SF. When you have great ingredients, no need to be hella extra. Less is more! read more

Overall we had a horrible experience. The food was ok, not sure it was worth the price. The dessert was too sweet. But the worst part of our experience was when our server kept throwing the utensils at us, instead of placing them or setting them on the table. Yes yes physically tossing them on the table. Definitely not going back there read more

Finally got to have dinner here and wow. Service, food, ambience, B.Steak.A has it all. We started with a delicious ceasar salad, raviolis, and drinks. The Main was the very splittable 18oz strip steak. Sides were creamy mashed potatoes and a wonderful plate of charred asparagus. Desert was an over the top berry crumble and a birthday baked alaska. Compliments to the front and back of the house for a super experience. Special thanks to our server, Bob who is a true professional and provided expert guidance during our dinner. Will be back! read more

We had a work dinner at this lovely restaurant on a Tuesday night. The place was quite busy, so I am glad we made reservations. The food was all very good. The steak was excellent. It does take some time when you order, so remember to maybe order some apps while your meal is being prepped. The place was spacious, definitely great for work events, larger group dinners. It is a little expensive, but it was worth it. Thank you for having us. read more

Ambiance - the place looks nice and very clean. I especially like the open kitchen. The decoration is random but it's interesting. Food - we started off with the oysters, which were amazing. I have actually not had oysters with such flavor. The lemoncello ice was a delicious addition and now I think I can't have them any other way. If you like oysters, try these! We also ordered some meatballs ($6 dollars each). The meatballs and the sauce was very good but for a six dollar meatball I would expect the size to be a little bit bigger. Im not too sure how I felt about the salads. I prefer my veggies chopped and my salad tossed or mixed. We ordered two different pasta dishes for the table, both were bland and very little in serving size. The creamy Brussels sprouts were just okay. The mashed potatoes were good. For our main, my husband ordered the ribeye, and I ordered the filet mignon. Sadly, they brought everyone's food out but mine. I then told our waiter that we were waiting for one more steak and that's when he noticed he had not written it down when he took our order. I reminded him of how him and I conversed about how I wanted it cooked yet somehow it was missed.... That was pretty disappointing but I didn't want to keep the others waiting (there was six hungry folks with hot plates in front of the them) so I decided to say that's fine and move on with the only other option, sharing a rib-eye with my husband. Thankfully his steak was big enough to feed us but he was looking forward to having it all to himself. Who wants to share their meat!?! Especially when they came hungry and ready to have some steak! Service - besides missing my order, our waiter was great. Actually, all the staff were very pleasant and friendly. All in all, some of the food was good and some not so much. We gave them a shot, but we likely won't be returning here. read more

Ok let me say I was skeptical and expected nothing but THE BEST and I was not disappointed! This place is CLASSY! The interior design is gorgeous and the service is top notch. They have a candy table, bidets, and you get a hot eucalyptus towel at the start. Parking is as expected as it's the pruneyard, what else can I say about that? When you arrive you're greeted by a flavorful and piping hot broth. Not sure if the flavor changes but today for lunch it was chicken. Then the host takes you to your table and you're given complimentary crudite and miso butter. For two people we ordered: Hamachi crudo: loved this! Super flavorful and fresh. Oysters: came with two different sauces, both very interesting and complimented each other well. Oysters couldn't be fresher. Bread service: three different breads, the Parmesan crisp was my favorite. This was great to sop up the tomato sauce from the meatball. One spicy meatball: TINY! It was a nice bite but definitely smaller than expected. Ravioli: well made and delicious Ribeye: cooked to perfection. Perfectly seasoned as well Overall, I'd definitely come back again. We sat on the patio and had a great time. I'd love to come back and see a different menu and experience the interior too! read more

A review long time coming. This is a very nice place if you want a moderately upscale experience. I've been to the restaurant a number of times, the last visit was not on par with other visits, which drops the rating slightly, but nothing to keep from giving a good review. You're greeted with a warm broth before taking you to your table. Waiters are generally knowledgeable and well informed on choices and drink selection. One of my favorite visits was when I went solo and sat at the bar. And the toilets are equipped with bidet's!!! read more

Overall it was ok. Not sure if we would try this place again. Service was on and off. Had to remind server twice on my drink and for the dessert menu. Ordered a soulstice iced tea. The tea was ok but the cup full of ice was not. Tap water was most prob used for the ice and when mixed with the tea? Does not taste good. It was pretty noisy by the time we were done with dinner @ about 730pm. read more

The Foodguy visits for the first time...I'm not sure where to start my story...a long time ago in a kitchen not so far far away. I was the food sales guy for the California Kitchens, I met Jeff at the Palo Alto location. My family and I enjoyed a few "chefs table" in the kitchen of Alexanders. My daughter and I have had many a meal over at the Orchard kitchen (Shes on her way to Disneyland so missed out tonight) Everything here is wow, showcase exhibition kitchen ad you walk in, toilets that have self lifting lids Oh My, an exceptional Staff, beautiful presentations of good and drinks alike. Wow is the only word I can think of to express my opinion of my meal here this evening...Thanks Chef Goodguy read more

Our server and the service was pretty good, perhaps the best part minus one thing: I didn't like how he slipped us a couple of glasses of wine that I had no clue what they were and how much they cost. Food took a long time to arrive even though the restaurant was half empty. So we were glad to get the chicken liver mousse and hamachi appetizers while waiting. The liver was excellent but the hamachi left more to be desired because I couldn't quite taste the fish among the veggies and vinaigrette around it. The wood cooking of my ribeye was excellent. It had just enough wood flavor without smelling smoky or burnt. I was impressed. The cut of meat was top notch. But I didn't like how much sauce there was around the steak because it covered the flavor of the meat and there was no escaping it. I could not cut and try any piece of meat by itself without smearing the sauce on it. And... did it have to be 15 oz? With the sides and dessert, etc I could not finish it. The sides were ok -- the mushroom was delicious but extremely salty. The asparagus tasted like it was cooked on the wooden stove as well and it was very delicious by itself. I should have known the chili crisp would be spicy enough to interfere with the steak experience - not a good choice! The complementary dessert was fabulous and we loved the little birthday fireworks. Overall not a bad experience but I won't be back. read more

This is a review of their Sunday buffet brunch. We came here recently for my boyfriends birthday and it was a very special treat! We were given an orange yuzu drink upon our arrival, which was quite refreshing. The host sat us down almost immediately and gave us a quick walk through of the dining room and kitchen. A lot of the cold items were displayed on tables in the dining area and then the hot foods were in the kitchen. I loved the fun experience of walking into the red carpet kitchen and looking at all of the bread, steak, and beautifully plated food! I was drooling! Below are are some (not all) of the things we enjoyed the most and some we would pass on next time. It is pricey at $110 per person, but the quality, service, and ambiance is top notch. I would come here again for a special occasion. Must try + Steak with chimichurri + Steak and potato hash + Prime rib + Oysters + Jumbo shrimp + Egg in a hole + Truffle deviled eggs + Beignets + Mango gelato + Crème brûlée + Pineapple agua fresca Would pass next time + Cheeses and charcuterie + Pork toast + Milk bread + Salmon poke + Monkey bread + Carrot cake + Root beer cupcake read more

My sister and I went during their Sunday Brunch occasion. We both were very excited to go since we hadn't experienced anything like this before. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a wonderful smile and greeting. They offer three options for your entry drink; orange juice, sparkling cider, and champagne. Both of us had the sparkling apple cider, which was delicious. After the tour/guided to our outdoor seating table, we were greeted again by our server. She was pleasant and friendly. The decor of the place was very elegant and clean. The server made sure our table was always clear from the plates after we were finished with each plate. The food overall was delicious, flavorful, and exquisite. Everything was wonderful, and I was never disappointed, and each plate was at its highest-ranking. The quality of food was juicy and high graded. I recommend everyone try everything as much as you can, but take your time. 5 stars! The overall service was 5 stars, and everyone made us feel embraced and cared for. I enjoyed my visit and it was an experience I'll never forget. Recommendation - Go and enjoy Be.Steak.A, you'll be in an amazement state of mind the whole time. read more

We came here for their Sunday brunch for the holidays, definitely not a January-new-year-new-me type of activity with the amount of food available. You start off from the door with a yuzu carrot juice that isn't available at the juice section. Then you pass by the view of the kitchen and all of your carnivorous desires. Then you glance at all the petite servings of everything as you head on to your table. The kitchen area had all the hot foods and baked goods, bar area had the desserts, middle section had the small bites/salads/seafood/charcuterie. With the many choices, I mostly enjoyed the toad in the hole, prime rib, scallop cappaccio, gazpacho, mini puff with caviar, tiramisu, flan. I was told their chocolate ice cream was amazing, but it was completely gone when I went for desserts, guess they were just that amazing. Service was alright, nothing was really expected since most of the dining experience was self served. One thing to note is that I had made the reservation by calling in and noted that it was a birthday celebration. However, nothing was done though, no birthday wishes, no nothing. Just FYI for those who were reserving for birthdays. read more

As we arrived through the door the host offered us a broth to help prime our palate for the meal to come. We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary and they provided us with a special card signed by the staff and a provided us with complimentary dessert. The service was exceptional as the staff took the time to explain the dishes in detail and took the time to any question we may have. The food was delicious from start to finish. The scallops had a nice sear with a soft bite. The squash was sweet with a nice crunchy topping while the confit was a nice rich contrast to the other sides. The prime rib was a generous portion and the rib eye was cooked to perfection for medium rare. My favorite dish was the dessert with the panna cotta. In regards to ambiance Be Steak is everything you would expect for an upscale dining experience. The moment you walk in you can see feel the warm lights greet you as you sit at your booth with a white table cloth. There is a cute cocktail bar towards the front of the restaurant next to the candy table which you get to choose from towards the end of meal. If youre looking for an unforgettable experience come here to dine. Well definitely be back again soon. read more

Amazing food coupled with outstanding service. Wish they had a location in my hometown.

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 I was excited to try this restaurant and they met my expectations. From the start to finish the service was phenomenal! Their bone broth was so delicious, I got a cup to go. We were offered a complementary veggie dish , it was refreshing. For appetizer we ordered the Spicy meatballs and Bread service. They went together perfectly. For our main meal, I got their Prime rib and my husband ordered their Filet mignon (medium well done). For our side we shared their Truffle fries. Everything was delicious. My Prime rib was so big that I was able to only eat maybe a quarter. My husband said his Filet was perfectly cooked, he enjoyed every bite! Highly recommend! read more

Amazing food, Italian with a slight Asian influence. Shared the Carbonara at the bar before getting a table and it was perfect. The steaks were to die for and the cocktails so good. Service is flawless and the ambiance very elegant. Surprised there were not so busy on a Thursday night. read more

My partner and I came here to celebrate our anniversary. The experience from beginning to end was phenomenal! Everyone, from the hostess to our server and the food runner, kept reminding us that they appreciated our visit with verbal "happy anniversary" wishes, a card at the table, and a free dessert at the end. Luke was our server. He did a wonderful job explaining everything to us, since it was our first time. We also enjoyed the recommendations he provided! Highlights that I would definitely order again include the corn and crab croquette (small but so delicious), the split bone-in ribeye (the escargot was also phenomenal), and the rock shrimp gratin. The roasted bone marrow was also delicious, but I wasn't a big fan of the toasted levain (my boyfriend enjoyed it, though, so I think it's a matter of personal preference). I also enjoyed the averna 1970s amaro that Luke recommended! It was sweet (which I love) with a chocolate taste in the beginning with a coffee finish! Thank you to Luke and everyone at Be.Steak.A. for making our experience memorable! read more

Had the pleasure of dining here last Sunday for their upscale brunch experience to celebrate my birthday. We were a bit apprehensive given the price per person but after all was said and eaten, Be.Steak.A's brunch was absolutely an excellent culinary experience for a special occasion (or a casual Sunday if you spare no expense on life). We arrived just after 1100 in the morning and were treated to a yuzu juice drink while we waited for our seats. After no more than maybe three minutes (maybe 5 sips of yuzu juice), we were quickly whisked over to our table: unplanned but strategically situated closest to the food...how appropriate for me! The dining area ambience was very nice. Roomy, clean, and bright with out being overbearing. Our table was neatly assembled with a pre set plate of 4 to 5 sets of silverware. Challenge accepted. The "buffet" area was a pretty neat set up: -outer area cold plates, seafood, charcuterie, salads, truffled eggs etc. -walkthrough kitchen with all the hot foods. Not overcrowded and all food offerings were always available. Now to the food itself! While pretty much everything was delicious, several offerings in particular shined through (nice way of saying made appearance after reappearance on every round): -cocktail shrimp (enormous mini lobster sizing and perfectly prepared) -hamachi -raw scallops -oysters -sirloin -truffled eggs -steak and potato hash -gelato (mango passion) -tiramisu -Crème brûlée -lemon tart I suppose it would be more appropriate to have listed the above in plural given the amount consumed... Service was perfect. Classy, prompt, efficient and polite with out being overly stuffy/presumptuous. Really enjoyed this experience and can't wait to return some day for another special occasion. read more

Never disappointed! The service is spot on. The staff is always lovely. The drinks are fantastic. The food is devine. The presentation and flavors are always equal in beauty and quality. The textures are perfectly done. It is not a low-cost experience, but it's worth it. Save up two dinners worth of money and treat yourself! Thank you to Kevin and Carmine for being wonderful managers. Fabulous evening! read more

This place is not to be underestimated based on its location or the fact that it used to be an Outback Steakhouse. The interior is tastefully beautiful with a nod to Art Deco and mid-century modern touches and they also managed to create an al fresco dining experience that is dare I say cozy? We have been many times now as it has earned its way to being one of my husband and my favorite special occasion dinner places. They offer well-crafted and balanced cocktails as well as mocktails that are mixed with house made syrups and beautiful dried fruit garnishes. You can try the tasting menu, the premium tasting menu, or build-your-own feast with steaks, handmade pastas, appetizers, salads, bread service, etc. We love the yam stones, the tiny onion soup, and right now they have an incredible grilled stone fruit app that deserves a seat at the table. Their rib eye and prime rib is my favorite but my husband likes their dry aged NY...it's hard to go wrong. Sometimes the mains can be great and the desserts completely lacking but that's not so at Be.Steak.A! I do wish their molten lava chocolate cake had a little less salt but it was still good. One of the things that stand out about Be.Steak.A is their attention to you! From the moment you walk in and have a warming chicken consommé to their hand scrubs in the bathroom, to how they keep your water glass full, and check to see how everything is going, the experience is always warm, patient, and non-intrusive. We celebrated my sister's milestone birthday there recently and she raved about how special she felt all night. Thank you for being a standout establishment! We can't wait to go back. read more
