M&B Steakhouse is a dark, chic, little bistro steakhouse, that also has bar seating for pre & post prandial libations or for single diners & handling overflow guests, all in a large stripmall. This may be an opportune time to come since M&B recently opened is still relatively unknown so walk ins are still possible on a Saturday. The menu is concise & uncomplicated. The main courses all have a choice of soup or salad & two sides. This makes for a great deal although there are add ons such as lobster @market price, sautéed onion or mushrooms, spinach, fried shrimp, mac & cheese which may be superfluous since you can't eat all of it since the portions are ample. I had the thick Kuro Buta/Japanese Black Pig pork chop. I asked for it to be cooked as minimally as possible since pork can dry out from higher heat. The brining kept the meat moist, sweet, dense, soft. Possibly sous vided and then grilled to a golden brown hue. The accompanying mushroom sauce is pleasantly earthy ringing of good quality fragrant button mushrooms, creamy w/ satisfying Umami from possibly a chicken fond de cuisine. The baked potato has standard sour cream and chopped green onions. Mashed potato w/ skin is more flavour interesting infused w/ butter & possibly Romano cheese. Rice Pilaf is dry textured Basmati rice w/ scattering of nutty, dark "wild rice" cooked in light broth. We chose Conundrum 2015 Wagner Winery, California which is a conundrum since all it states is "red wine". May be a blend of Zinfandel, Syrah, Grenache, all heat loving grape varietals. Velvety smooth, lush, full bodied, hint of tannins and touch of acid to balance out bit of the over sweetness. Lots of fruity blackberry, blue berry, dark dried plum. Good wine, but not sure if it pairs well to grilled beef, pork. Perhaps a more Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec with stronger earthy tannins & acids would accentuate the primal meatiness better. We were too full for dessert. In fact I had to take half of the meal home, so ample was the meal. There is dessert of seasonal pumpkin bread pudding, chocolate cake, lemon cake. Next time I'd like to try another great deal, the house cut 1 1/4 lb prime rib at $29 available only on Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And the interesting Scalone a la Francese (frahn cheh zeh) which is a mixture of scallops & abalone floured, egg dipped and pan fried. The Plat de Fruit de Mer may be a good seafood themed appetizer. Lemon chicken for those who abstain from red meat. M&B may be the best steakhouse deal in all of Socal. Reasonable prices, tasty meals in a dusky, womb-like cocoon that teleports you away from bland bedroom town Simi Valley to a smart petite boîte somewhere along Ventura Boulevard. 4+ Yelp stars. read more

Great staff and small spot, make sure you have a reservation! Lots of locals come and the food was delish! Got the daily risotto, it was perfect! Can't wait to come back. read more

Fantastic first experience, food was incredible, service was great, and the price was right! The onky part that fell short for me was the available wines. I mean it is a wine bar and I felt like the limited selection of wines were average. Next time we visit we will definitely bring our own bottle to enjoy. read more

Lovely evening on Thursday night special for two! Delicious meal, wine was good choice. The dessert was exceptional and yummy! I love a tiramisu and this spin on it did not disappoint! We will be back Thanks for a wonderful local evening out. read more

I have to say one of the best restaurants in Simi Valley. When you step inside you feel like you are not just in a little restaurant in a little shopping center. So cozy and the food OMG out of this world. I have never had risotto but their mushroom risotto is to die for. Over all the food is great you cannot go wrong with whatever you order. And when you step thru the door they greet you like you are family!!! My new favorite place to eat! Everyone much try it you will not regret it! Ten star rating for me read more

Love me some Betos. Great, personal service and just a friendly place to eat good food. I think my biggest issue is that I cannot go there without ordering the meat lasagna. It is sooo good and just hits right. Great deal to bring you own bottle of wine and enjoy a good meal. Don't forget the calamari, it's awesome. read more

Good neighborhood restaurant. Food mostly consistent. Recently raised corkage to $20. Friendly service, and they will modify the dishes to your liking. The restaurant was recently added on to, so it's much roomier and more comfortable now. read more

I didn't know this place existed until recently, and since then I really wanted to try this place. They restaurant is small and has great ambiance, but I was with my dad, so I chose the bar top. I was told it was newly added, and I am glad they did! Our server was fantastic, she explained the menu, specials and wine list very well. The four cheese gnocchi in bolognese sauce was outstanding, paired with there fresh focaccia. I also started with their house salad (the vinaigrette was delicious) and a Malbec. I had a Cabernet with the gnocchi. Everything was tasty and I can't wait to try more of the menu! read more

I have lived in Simi Valley now for almost 12 years. The first week here long ago I wanted a hometown family eating spot to come to after work. I discovered Maria's in a small space on Cochran and Sycamore. It felt like my hometown "Cheers " hangout . Tonight we ate at newly opened "Betos Wine Bar & Bistro". Owned by the same family and what a pleasant surprise and yet not. This family knows the value of great food, great ambience and exceptional service . Being raised in the Sonoma, Napa Valley , this place feels like home !!!! We ordered the Baked Salmon and the Grilled Pork Chop. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FOOD for a great price . I would give 10 stars if I could ! read more

Great service and very nice ambiance . Food was delicious. I ordered the filet mignon and it was cooked to perfection. Will definitely be coming back . read more

What can I say? The quality of the food is amazing and the service is stellar. Not what I'm used to for this price point in LA County! I live in Pasadena and will definitely make the trip to see Christina and her cozy, warm, lovely restaurant in Simi Valley. We had filet mignon and prime rib - incredible fork-tender quality and perfectly cooked. The best thing about the sides- the mushroom risotto. Hello? I've never been offered such a labor intensive dish included in the price of the entree as a side. Christina nailed this IMO. If it is in the menu, check out the passion fruit panna cotta for dessert (it is seasonal) - great balance of acid and cream. Yummy! Overall, if you want dishes prepared with quality ingredients by people who care at an insanely competitive price point, this is the place for you. Kudos, Christina!! read more

Cute little place with good food and good drinks. I had the burger and it was really great.

Good food and great service. The ambiance was relaxing. I'd recommend this business if you like gnocchi. Dessert's also good. Waiters are nice, and I'd come to this place more if I didn't know that their business was down. I definitely recommend this . read more

I must say this is my new favorite neighborhood gem! Thought I would finally stop by and give this restaurant a try for lunch. I ordered the lasagna and it was fresh, delicious, and made to order. Service was friendly efficient, friendly, and the ambiance outstanding! If you haven't been here, please give it a try. You will not be disappointed! read more

If I could do 10 stars I would. I had invited a couple of my grandchildren out for dinner (not children but young adults). After going round and round about where to have dinner grandson said Beto's Wine Bar & Bistro. While my son was out of town grandson and daughter-in-law went there for dinner. My grandson raved about it. So that is where we had dinner. Granddaughter, myself, and of course grandson, yes raved about it. Service could not have been better if they tried; so personable. Food incredible from appetizer, to soup or salad (yum), then main meal. I had chicken Marsala and it was fantastic. Brought home half of it as both grandkids ordered dessert and I ordered two so we had a taste of everything. I can hardly wait to go back. We were treated like we were family. Thank you seems inadequate but thank you!!! read more

First visit to this little place. Great atmosphere. Food was amazing! And the owners are sweethearts. Hung out with great friends, turned into a 2 1/2 hour dinner. Good times. Will definitely visit this place again soon. read more

This is a lovely little steak house run by the owners of Maria's and Beto's. It is located in the old Maria's location which moved two doors down and has the same owners. The menu is a nice mix of steak, seafood, chicken, and a pork chop option. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and the vegetables and potatoes were delicious. I had the roasted carrot soup as a starter and it was amazing. Soooooo good. The garden salad was also good with a nice vinaigrette dressing. For dessert, we shared dark chocolate profiteroles. These were amazing. Next time, I won't be sharing them. ;) The service was excellent and on point. We had everything we needed. The restaurant was clean and well kept. There is plenty of parking. If you are looking for a nice little steak house, this is the place for you! I will definitely be back. read more

Amazing food great service and yummy Desert was a creamy peice of cheesecake Love the fresh cut meat. Great service and ask for Shana she will take great care of you read more

Have not been here in years but was craving a good lasagna. Took our good friends and we weren't disappointed! The server was really good and attentive. There was a younger Asian girl who was also really good. So I ordered the lasagna and it was so delicious I saved half for todays lunch. Our friends shared the lasagna and the large portion was perfect for them and they too loved it! They also had the bruschetta, said the Bread could have been crunchier, but loved the flavor. My husband really enjoyed the sausage penne and said the portion was perfect and he is a good eater. I can't wait to go back and try something else. The place was packed for a Tuesday evening and I understand why. I recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic Italian experience. read more

Christina the owner makes us feel very welcome. The menu is good and we have tried many items which were all delicious. The Ambiance is very warm and inviting. Recommend this place hands down. It's a GEM in Simi Valley. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants! Wonderful service, ambiance and delicious food with a great list of weekly specials. The wine selection is robust and delicious as well. We love Beto's! read more

Fabulous food and ambience! I have been to this Betos three times and each was a wonderful experience- delicious food and attentive service.

This hidden gem is such a great family owned steakhouse! The prices can't be beat and the quality, service and taste are amazing! The filet is always cooked to perfection and the various sauces are to die for!! Hubby had filet with a peppercorn sauce with the lobster bisque and really enjoyed it. I had the salmon and fresh veggies...yum!! Their dinner salad isn't your basic lettuce mix. Desert was a super moist limoncello cake... perfect way to end the evening! Forgot to take pics of the dinner but it was lovely! read more

Very cute restaurant with delicious food. The owner and staff are very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be going back!

I've gone here a few times for lunch over the past couple of months. The first time, I was the only person in there. The second time, there was another table occupied. Today, there were several tables occupied, and I was very pleased that they seem to be doing so well for lunch! I had the seafood cioppino, and it was excellent! Highly recommend that dish. read more

My husband and I love eating at this family owned restaurant. The prime rib they serve on weekends are tender, juicy, and delicious. Their seafood entrees such as Halibut or Salmon are amazing as well. Everything is prepared perfectly and served to you by a very friendly staff. Their desserts are sinfully good and are made from scratch. We highly recommend this restaurant. It's located at a strip mall where you would never expect a high quality sit down restaurant. The waiting staff are friendly and very attentive. Their prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you get. read more

The service here, the food and price will have me coming back. This place is some sort of a hidden gem!

This place is exquisite from the service to the food to the ambience. It is a must try, and then it might become a regular for you.

Past by this place so many times over the years when it was M&B, but never went in because, honestly, it looked like a dinky whole in the wall from the outside. I was looking for a new restaurant to take my wife for our anniversary and came across this on Yelp. I noticed they changed the name and took a closer look at the pics I could find. Decided to give it a try and SO happy we did. Yes, it's small on the inside, but in a cozy kinda way, with a nice bar towards the back. The two wait staff that helped us were very personable. My wife ordered the seafood cioppino and I had the filet mignon. Wife really liked her dish, but would have preferred less white fish. My steak was cooked perfectly, came with veggies and delicious mashed potatoes and a big Caesars salad. The steak was tender as butter, one of the best steaks I've eaten. The whiskey peppercorn sauce was EXCELLENT, I even asked for more. The bread they brought as we ordered was very good, we ate it all and asked for more. They have a large wine list and portion sizes of 3 or 6oz, which is nice since my wife doesn't really drink but it allowed her to try a smaller option in the 3oz serving. We ordered one of the merlots, which was smooth, fruity, and wonderfully delicious. I wish we would have bought a bottle, next time. Overall, our new favorite restaurant in Simi, I can't stop recommending to friends and family. We're going there for my wife's upcoming birthday and then mine... read more

I love this place! I came here for my friends birthday party and we had such a good time! The calamari and truffle fries are so good! Our server Cristina was so attentive and sweet, made our experience so fun. Can't wait to come back here for dinner with my family! read more

We went back to this place after some time, the new manager Cristina was fantastic and food was great as well. I had the special of the night which was steak and carrot soup. My husband got the pork chop and he loved it. Finally i will say that even thought, it is call wine bar, they have couple of delicious cocktails, I had the fig martini and my husband the pear martini. We will come back soon. read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Simi Valley. My husband and I gave this place a try yesterday and we were not disappointed. Our server was very attentive to our needs. A lot of things on the menu looked appealing and plenty of good wine to choose from. I had the surf and turf and my husband had the filet mignon. The prices were very reasonable. If you want a romantic dinner with your significant other or just a relaxing place for a good meal and wine, this is the place to go. Give it a try. read more

From the moment I walked in I was impressed with this quaint little Bistro. Great atmosphere, great service and INCREDIBLE food. Best wedge salad I've ever had. I had the Filet with mushroom sauce which was exceptional, tender and seasoned to perfection. The mushroom risotto was AMAZING! I also sampled the Blackened fillet with pepper corn sauce and the ribeye with mushroom wine sauce. Hands down the best food and service in Simi Valley and their prices are very reasonable. Beto's is located on Sycamore...You will love it!! read more
