With so many dining options in DT Whittier, this place stands out as it has this sexy vibe in a dimly lit yet beautiful and inviting setting with chill music selection serving great food making this place a perfect place for a romantic date night. The main dining area offers a more formal setting while the bar area is more relaxed with half booths and high tops or sit by the bar. Service is courteous, prompt and professional yet not overbearing. The Chilean sea bass is perfectly cooked with nice crisp on the outside and so buttery on the inside (even though a bit too salty in some bites) and comes with addictively tasting cauliflower puree garnished with nicely grilled broccolini. The filet mignon cooked medium rare melts in your mouth accompanied by roasted garlic and cherry tomatoes. Highly recommend the vesper martini - very smooth yet packs a punch and served super cold. Cosmonaut is also great and not too sweet. There's a parking garage nearby but they also provide valet parking. read more

My friend and I were looking for a quick bite after our Pilates class in Uptown Whittier and decided to give Nyx a try. We are so glad we did! We both ordered the Cobb salad and shared the truffle fries and mac & cheese. Everything was absolutely delicious. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. Tommy, the bartender, was especially great. He was attentive, friendly, and very helpful with recommendations and service throughout our visit. The whole experience was awesome and we will definitely be back! read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, especially for local businesses because I genuinely love supporting Uptown Whittier restaurants. But our Mother's Day experience at Nyx was honestly one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. We arrived excited to celebrate Mother's Day and were seated promptly... and then completely forgotten about. For 45 minutes, not a single employee came to our table. No server. No drink order. Not even water. Meanwhile, the tables around us were being greeted, served drinks, and even receiving their meals while we sat there wondering if anyone even knew we existed. What made it worse was that the restaurant did not even appear especially busy. If someone had simply acknowledged us and said, "We'll be with you shortly," we would have been understanding. Instead, we were ignored for nearly an hour without a single word. Eventually, we got up and walked out because it became painfully obvious nobody was ever coming to help us. A restaurant can survive a slow kitchen or a mistake with an order. What's harder to excuse is making customers feel invisible -- especially on Mother's Day, when families are trying to celebrate together. This was our first impression of Nyx, and unfortunately it will probably be our last. I would leave zero stars if Yelp allowed it. read more

Such an aesthetically beautiful, upscale spot with great vibes. Service, the food and drinks we tried here were amazing! The skirt steak with crispy fries came with a delicious chimichurri. The pappardelle bolognese was one of the best I've had as it was rich, meaty, and perfectly sauced. The herb-crusted rack of lamb was also a standout. Honestly, everything was about a 10/10. I did ask for medium rare, but it came out slightly more rare than expected, just a few more seconds cooked and it would've been perfect. They also have a great selection of wines, bubbles, cocktails, and unique beers, with helpful pairing notes on the menu. Definitely worth driving over to check it out, you won't regret it! read more

A new steakhouse in the City of Whittier. The decor were aesthetically pleasing with an upscale ambiance. Ordered the Rosemary Ricotta to start , it tasted so good that my party asked for an additional bread. I had the New York Steak as my main course. It was tender and juicy greatly paired with mac and cheese. The Strawberry Margarita has a perfect balance of salty sweet and sour taste. Lastly, ordered the delicious NY cheesecake for dessert. Overall, food tasted great and the service as well. Our server was very attentive and friendly. I had a great dining experience. Highly, recommended. read more

Enjoyed a beautiful birthday celebration with my best friend at the new NYX restaurant in lovely Uptown Whittier. We remembered the location as we had visited years ago when it was Nixon. NYX completely revamped the interior. It is beautiful inside... high end, dark and moody. Loved the decor choices. Our server was wonderful. She gave us great options once we learned the kitchen had ran out of our first dinner options. Our steak was delicious as was our lobster Mac n cheese. Our drinks were great. Will need to return! read more

See you next week. read more

Now every year I somehow forget to make Mother's Day reservations and we end up with bootleg seats and a long wait line... which is basically my dad's nightmare. So this year I told myself I was going to get it together. I wanted something classy, closer to Downey, and after scrolling Yelp I found NYX Steakhouse. I made an online reservation and was actually excited for Mother's Day for once. Then my dad decided a 6 PM dinner reservation was "too late" and requested lunch instead. So back online I went and changed everything to a 1 PM reservation. Mother's Day comes around, we purposely had a light breakfast thinking we'd be ready for a nice steakhouse lunch.We walk in, everything looks beautiful, we order drinks... and then realize they were only serving brunch, not lunch. Apparently they close at 3 and reopen later for dinner service. Unfortunately brunch wasn't really what we were looking for, so we ended up just having drinks and leaving.The place itself looked really nice and the staff was pleasant, but I do wish that was made a little clearer during the reservation process because it definitely felt like a missed opportunity for what was supposed to be our Mother's Day lunch outing. read more

I came across this Gem while I was in Santa Fe springs and I checked my yelp for a steakhouse nearby. It came up and it was just opening so we stopped in without a reservation. It's in uptown Whittier in a nice location with plenty of parking areas on the street it in a lot . From the Front doorway to the walkway it' is a very good decorative restaurant with a cool looking bar top and hi top tables in the Bar area. And regular nice tables throughout the rest of the place. Service was amazing from Jenifer she was very nice and friendly as was the rest of the staff in the whole place. Met other customers at the bar and they were having a great time just like we did. Had a chance to see lil speak easy after hours bar that was about to open as well It was very nice to meet Jason he was very welcoming and personable. Drinks are very well made and have signature cocktails and as for the food. It's Amazing. Form everything that I seen coming out of the kitchen to tables looked very tasty.

I love this place so much ! It might be my favorite restaurant now ! Isaiah was a server he was warm and sociable . I appreciated his recommendations. I enjoyed the artichoke hearts with a spicy sauce, they have the best bone marrow with cilantro on it. Mashed potatoes or creamy, but the mac & cheese was so flavorful so tasty !! you've gotta order the mac & cheese. You won't regret it.. The steak was to die, for I love the roasted garlic and the sauce . Mouth watering. Let's talk about the drinks they're known for their martinis. They come with a very chilled glass. They're very cold. I ordered French martini, which is Chambord, with pineapple juice, and vodka And we ordered a lemon drop . I'm fond of the decor and atmosphere. Some other staff members came over and gave us recommendations afterwards on where to go for a late night drink since they were closing when we were there. They have a really nice staff all around. !! read more

Love a place with a sexy vibe and aesthetics. Looked up places to grab drinks with my bestie and this place was perfect. Staff was friendly and inviting from the second we walked in. Shout out to Justin, the bartender for having cocktail onions since 90% of places done have any. Also, egg whites for sours and luxardo cherries... what can I say? The little things truly do matter and make a difference. Will definitely be back soon. This was a pit stop while we explored around the block but look forward to coming to dinner soon. read more

We arrived at the restaurant for our 6 PM reservation to celebrate my wife's birthday, but it appeared that the host was unable to find it. We were seated promptly, but our server was not immediately visible. Fortunately, another server noticed that we had been seated for some time and kindly offered to take our order. We ordered the bone marrow for an appetizer, along with macaroni and cheese, a wagyu burger with fries, and seabass. Several minutes later, our assigned server appeared and attempted to take our order, despite it already having been placed. The food arrived quite quickly, as the restaurant did not seem particularly busy for a Saturday evening. However, the bone marrow was excessively salty, and we were surprised to find shredded beef added on top of the bone for a price of approximately thirty dollars. My burger, which was requested to be medium, arrived salty and with the exterior of the patty appearing burnt, almost as if it had been cooked on a grill with old food or grease residue. The fries did not taste freshly prepared. My wife's seabass was also notably salty. Finally, despite indicating on our reservation that it was my wife's birthday, this was never acknowledged by the server. Given the price point and the highly rated reviews, I had anticipated a more satisfying experience from this establishment. read more

I wasn't impressed. The menu seemed overpriced. The staff was treated poorly. That's not the kind of atmosphere that any customer should have to witness. I felt like a pig dining on the "backs of the brooms." I left feeling an ominous, and sad vibe for my fellow human beings. read more

I really love Nyx for their amazing happy hour deals! I've been back twice this year, once with my girl friend and most recently with my family. You can't beat a girl dinner for $29! Also the drinks are made strong and well - highly recommend for your next HH outing. read more

The food here was so good and the prime rib is a steak I think about often. Cooked to perfection and a huge portion, good enough to share. Our server was great, his family was sitting at the table next to us and he was incredibly attentive to all of us. Vibes are cool, it feels upscale, but there's still people there dressed casually so do with that what you will. read more

Got a chance to visit this place for Valentines Day, with my Valentine. I enjoyed the Chilean Sea Bass and Veggies! I also had the carrot cake for dessert. Everything was perfect. The fish was prepared with a nice putter crunch and the inside was piping hot just the way I like it. The veggies were tasty served with whipped potatoes. We also enjoyed some refreshing mocktails. Over the food was excellent and the ambiance with very high end boisterous. I'd live to come back for the Philly cheesesteak, which was recommended by Andy the Bartender. read more

This place doesn't get enough exposure. I might keep it my secret! I don't even need photos. Just go here! The food is piping hot when it comes out. When even the fries are crispy and perfection. Tell me you love your job without telling me you love your job. The service is stellar! They treated me like a queen. David my server knows what he's doing! Give him a raise! Fancy yet laid back Whittier. An affordable steakhouse with immaculate vibes. Don't even get me started on the drinks. Yes they have happy hour! Worth every penny! The drinks are beyond perfect and truly they put their hearts into every piece of your meal. Thank you for giving me hope in this generation that value behind service still exists. read more

Just went to NYX to have some appetizers and drinks with a friend. The food was wonderful! We only had the appetizers, but I was really impressed. The bone marrow appetizer and the fish ceviche were excellent. I can't remember the name of the martinis, but I did like them, they were not too sweet, which was great! The old-fashioned was made perfectly. The staff was super friendly and the ambience and decor was stunning! I own a business in the area and I am always giving recommendations to my clients. I am happy to inform everyone this place was great! Just like any business or any restaurant... If you have a problem with a food or a drink, just talk to management and they would be happy to make it right. read more

Went there to celebrate both mine and my friends birthdays and catch up. Our waiter was real cool and recommended great drinks of choice. Our meal was great. I had the arrachera steak and would go back just for that. While we were eating we got a visit from the GM Hugo who was super nice and wished us a happy birthday as we were served some champagne. Then we got a visit from Andrew who recommended another great drink. Overall the ambiance, food and service was top tier and I'd definitely go back! Plus there's a speakeasy inside that I need to check out too! read more

I've been wanting to dine at Nyx since it first opened. However, I hate going anywhere in Whittier because of the lack of nearby freeways and amount of time driving on the streets. To add to that, parking can also be a hassle depending on where you go and time of day. My sister and I went out of our way yesterday to go to Nyx. We arrived around 5:10-5:15. My sister tried to open the door to find that it was closed. We tried searching for another entry to no avail. I tried to call the place to see what was going on or if they had to open the door for us - no one answered. My sister then started to question if it was even open and I showed her the yelp page which shows that they were indeed supposed to be open on Wednesdays starting at 4. As I kept trying to call the place, a couple walked up and tried to open the door as well. My sister told them that I have been trying to get a hold of someone and the couple said that they had a reservation there at 5:15. I then got more frustrated because why would their system allow them to make ANY reservations if the place was supposed to be closed?! Make it make sense. The couple left and another lady walked up to try to open the door. We explained the same thing to the lady and she explained that she had 6 other people meeting her up there and had no idea what to do. My sister and I were outside looking on yelp for other places to go to. We ended up at Azabu since it was walking distance down the street. Right when we walked in, we saw a sign promoting the new Nyx restaurant and I was in fumes!!! I told the host to take that sign down because it's not even open. The host said, "they aren't open on Wednesdays" and I had to explain to him EVERYTHING that just happened and how it just messed up my whole day. Wow, SOMEONE knows Nyx is closed on Wednesdays...not us because we read the hours on yelp. Anyways, my sister and I had an amazing time at Azabu. We've gone there before and the server ended up making my day a little better with his outstanding hospitality and i'm glad that Azabu's hours reflect when they are ACTUALLY open. I will never go back to Nyx unless they shut down and something else opens in place of it. If they forgot to update their hours and are that careless, what else are they being careless about? Such an inconsiderate, incompetent, inconvenient, biggest waste of time. The screenshot on their menu also shows their hours of being "open" on Wednesdays. Unbelievable!!! read more

The food and customer service were amazing. The drinks were also very good and well balanced.

I just have to give a huge shoutout to the amazing bartenders--Steve, Andrew, and Felipe. These three truly made the experience unforgettable. From the moment we walked up, they were welcoming, attentive, and full of great energy. Not only do they make incredible drinks (seriously, every cocktail was perfect), but their personalities are what really stand out. They're friendly, fun, and genuinely care about making sure we were having a great time. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it shows in every interaction. It's rare to come across a team that works so seamlessly together while also making us feel special. Steve, Andrew, and Felipe absolutely nailed it. I'll definitely be coming back to the bar! read more

We made 7pm reservations on a Wednesday night and were greeted by a bubbly and kind hostess and then cared for by David, our MOST incredible server. I ordered a delicious freezer martini with house-made pickled veg (the photo is missing the pickle slices and green beans because I'd already devoured them) but this martini was SO TASTY. A perfect pairing with the steaks we ordered. My date had the filet which was so tender it melted in our mouths and I had the rib eye which was also incredible. Sides were the truffle fries (yum!!) and carrots (double yum!) I I'll be back for sure! read more

Just tried this place out yesterday and I have 1 word. AMAZING! From the drinks, to the food to the decoration was perfection. The ambiance they have created made for a perfect evening and the service was top notch. I had The Alpha Burger Wagyu and I have to say it was probably the best burger I've had in a long time. Couple that with some of their truffle fries I was in heaven. Ended the night with a great cocktail called the late checkout which was the cherry on top read more

I decided to treat myself to a bite and a drink after work on a Wednesday. I had the Halibut ceviche and the Buona Sera as a cocktail. Both I must say were fabulous. I'm a fan of citrus and both the drink and food had an incorporation of just that. Service was on par from the host to the bartenders. It was dim lit and comfortable. Just what I needed to feel like I'm spoiling myself. I'll be back with company for sure!!! read more

WOW -- what an absolutely phenomenal experience at NYX Whittier Restaurant! I was actually recommended to come here by their neighbors over at Agave Beauty and Spa, and let me just say... I am SO thankful I listened. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was everything -- stylish, welcoming, and just the right amount of upscale without feeling too heavy. Since I came solo, I sat at the bar, and honestly, it ended up being the perfect experience. The service was top-tier -- attentive, friendly, and made me feel completely comfortable dining alone. Now let's talk about the food... the BONE MARROW. Oh my goodness. Absolutely to die for. Rich, flavorful, perfectly prepared -- easily one of the best things I've had in a long time. Every bite was chef's kiss. The drinks were just as impressive -- beautifully crafted, smooth, and dangerously good. What I love most is that this is the kind of place you can enjoy solo OR bring your whole crew. And trust me, I will definitely be bringing my girls next time because this spot deserves to be experienced with good company. I don't usually write reviews at all, but NYX was just too good not to share. If you're thinking about going -- GO. No hesitation. Thank me later... and make sure you tell them I sent you read more

Tried out NYX in Whittier and honestly had such a good time. We got the pasta, Brussels sprouts, and ribeye -- everything was really good. The ribeye was cooked perfectly, super flavorful, and the Brussels sprouts were crispy in the best way. Pasta was solid too, no complaints at all. Drinks were great -- had an extra dirty gin martini and a margarita, both hit. They even brought us another round on the house which was a nice surprise. Service was really good too. Jay and another server with glasses were super nice and attentive the whole time, and the manager came by to check on us which I appreciated. The vibe is more on the upscale side but still chill, and the music was good without being too loud. Definitely a solid higher-end spot in Whittier. I'd come back for sure. read more

Tried this new spot for a friends birthday. Was really impressed by the decor and ambience but the meals and price are not worth it. I ordered a chicken dish and they forgot to put my order in. I was with 7 others and everyone had to wait for me to finish. A little disappointing but mistakes happen. My partner had the filet mignon and it was underwhelming, there are much better filets in area. It had a weird look to it and randomly came with a head of roasted garlic and five baby tomatoes for $48, crazy. The chicken dish was ate by others at my party and was said to be missing the lemon and herb. It was also hard to eat and they had to use their hands which sometimes you don't want to do. The waiter we had was great though. Kind of wish the owner or a manager would have came and apologized the hiccup. I don't think I will be going back. read more
