Another great date night at S+W They must have had previous owners because the 3.something stars out of 5 on yelp is simply not justified, should be way higher. Food was amazing as always -- wife & I got a caesar and wedge salads then split the NY with sides of peppercorn sauce and chimichurri. All were perfect The staff is my favorite part though! Connor and Khadeeja helped us out this night. A+ service, they showed us the best time and made us feel so taken care of read more

Steak & Whisky - HH oysters - Steakhouses Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Got the New York strip which was reco'd (medium rare.) Nothing to write home about. Felt like a decent cut of meat you could find at a local market and if I'm being honest, I've had better from Ralph's. Brussels were good, but air fried crispy individual leaves so it felt like a fried salad that was difficult to eat vs. eating actual brussels whole. The rosemary fries were one of my fav sides and shishitos were nice. The smoked old fashioned is totally overrated for the price and they use basic ice, not a single large cube of cocktail ice which is offensive considering the prices at this place. Also, the whiskey/bourbon flights say "2 oz or 3 oz" which would lead ANY patron to believe it's per pour, but no, it's spread across 4 glencairns, which means 1/2 oz each if you order the 2 oz and the prices are INSANE. When it arrived, I had to do a double take as the guy then explained. I'm a big bourbon/whiskey nerd, so I know the price of most of the bottles offered in the flights roughly and most are not rare pours, but things you can find at total wine/bevmo with a few exceptions. They do have a nice and unique collection otherwise vs. a lot of places, but it's severely overpriced from what you'll find at other restaurants throughout LA and OC. Was also surprised not one of their 3 glass pinots was Sta. Rita Hills unless I'm blind. Service was good, but not sure why the steak came out before any of the sides. Also, it was completely dead on a Wednesday night. Too many better steak places w/ better ambiance/food and quality for the price. My friend and I each had a steak, split 3 sides, had 1 smoked old fashioned and split a tiny 4 pour flight (upgraded to 3 oz btw due to the 1/2 oz pours. The damage with a nice tip? About $200 ea. read more

The drinks were solid Beet salad was delicious and generously portioned Tuna tartare wasn't very good - too much avocado and didn't have much flavor Steak was amazing and cooked perfectly Staff was friendly and helpful read more

The staff here are very friendly. Isaac was our bartender and helpful. I recently had their French 75, Margarita, and their Carrie Bradshaw. They make good cocktails. We liked their eggplant meatballs. It's easiest to sit by the bar if you haven't made a reservation. read more

Highly recommend. Dinner menu has a variety and drinks were fantastic and there is a variety of wine on the selves. read more

Had a later night change of plans and made a quick rez for this spot. We had a great dinner with good service, good atmosphere and good menu options. They also have great cocktails. We had some appetizers and entrees that were delicious - loved the shrimp cocktail especially the dipping sauce and the fish. Desserts were great too. I only got pics of the appetizers. read more

Really enjoyed my dinner at Steak & Whisky in Hermosa Beach. I'd give it about 4.5 stars overall. First, the vibe inside is great. The space has a dim, modern steakhouse feel but still feels relaxed and beach-city casual. It works well for a date night, drinks with friends, or a small group dinner without feeling overly formal. Service was solid during our visit. Friendly and attentive, and the pacing felt right. Drinks and food came out smoothly and our server checked in just enough without hovering. The food was very good. The steak was cooked well and had great flavor, and the sides were tasty too. Everything we had felt high quality and well prepared. My main hesitation is the price. It is definitely on the expensive side, which makes it feel more like an occasional night-out spot than somewhere I would go regularly. The quality is there, but the pricing still stood out to me. That said, I would absolutely come back, especially for happy hour or a special occasion. If the pricing were a little lower, it would probably make it into my regular rotation. 4.5 stars (definitely not a 3 star establishment as the overall Yelp score would lead you to think.) read more

I wish I could love this place because the food and drinks are really yummy, but the service was not good. It took 20 min to even take our drink orders then another 35 to get drinks. They forgot multiple items we ordered :( read more

Filet Mignon Was cooked to perfection, alongside Mashed Potatoes and The Bacon Mac N Cheese was a mouthful, needed my sweatpants to add dessert. Definitely a place to check out again. read more

If you want a great happy hour deal, come to Steak & Whiskey. The drinks are excellent and the HH food menu isn't bad either. Of course, if you actually want steak then that's on the standard menu but it's nice to have a proper cocktail at HH prices every so often. read more

I actually can't believe their rating is so low. It does not deserve the low rating. Happy Hour is a good deal, and food is good. I wonder if it's because they are aspiring to be a high end steakhouse, and fall short. They are not as good as Boa, or Arthur J, but they are good, and don't deserve this low rating. So, I have a new rating system......I will be write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work." read more

For no special reason, I've been in a habit of going to Steak & Whisky about once a year for my birthday. It's always been pretty lively and the outstanding service makes dinner a really nice overall experience. I definitely recommend making a reservation, although I've never had difficultly getting a table. The meal can get a little pricy and adding sides might over-stuff you. I always bring my own wine bottle to save a few bucks. read more

Fantastic food! Everything was honestly made to perfection! I don't usually like lamp, but their lamb was so tasty! The flavor and texture was perfect. And the Risotto was also perfect in flavor and texture! ~ I also really appreciate the quick service and the fact that they boxed our food for us. My first impression was also stellar. As soon as we walked in, I immediately adored the atmosphere and decor. Well done! In all areas! Bravo! read more

Fantastic dinner with my family! We share to start the artichoke dip which was delicious. Then for our main course we shared the lobster Mac and cheese, garlic mashed potatoes, and brussel sprouts. All amazing. I ordered the lamb oso buco and so much food for the price. It just fell off the bone to perfection. It came with risotto which was so flavorful. To drink I had the Sabrina Carpenter which essentially was an espresso martini. Made so.well. we also ordered a bottle of the Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand and a great Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc. Lastly for dessert shared the bread pudding and lava cake. I wouldnt order the bread pudding again. It had what seemed like apricot bits but the menu didn't call that out so no idea. It just had an odd flavor and bite. Service was excellent. I will definitely be back! read more

We had a great time at S&W. The wines they brought out were awesome. The food was AMAZING. Their customer service was attentive and there to keep you satisfied. Our server Grant was a great help with recommendations. We don't celebrate like this often, but when we do tea gotta go all out. I would definitely come back here again. If you're lucky you'll find free parking in the residential area, but if not, there are meters in the area. read more

Solid 4 stars. High quality, but you pay for it. Your boy that likes value for dollar says that this is not the place. Expect to pay a lot here. Place was clean and the staff was friendly enough. They ran out of the short rib after the waiter raving about it, so my buddy didnt get it and had to change his order and it was only 7:00 pm. I had the burger, asked for no cheese, but got cheese on it. I only add that comment in because when your total bill is $450 for two couples, I, at least, expect to get my order the way I ordered it. Drinks were fine, but drinks are the same everywhere. read more

This was probably one of the more uncomfortable dining experiences I have a ever had. We had a reservation at 6:30 for my boyfriend's birthday dinner and while we were sat promptly, we did not receive menus. After sitting for about 5 minutes and no one greeting us while being passed at least 10 times we asked for some menus. The person who brought our menus happened to be our waitress and while handing the menus she never greeted us or really said anything at all. We had been looking at the menu for well over 5 minutes again and we had to flag down another person to grab our waitress so we could order. She was very visibly annoyed with us or her coworkers, I'm unsure, about being flagged down again and we were once again never greeted or really told anything besides what do you want to drink? While the food was good, it was just overall very weird. We were made to feel as if we did something wrong the entire time and for $400 dinner I would expect people to be nice at the very least. There was no apology or anything done to rectify or improve the situation. While it's a very cute restaurant with good food, I don't think I'll ever come back as it felt like we weren't wanted there. read more

Our server Jack was great! The restaurant is very comfy and beautifully decorated. The meal was surprisingly expensive. Would probably just go here for appetizers in the future. read more

We had an amazing dining experience at this steakhouse in Hermosa Beach! My husband enjoyed the ribeye, and I opted for the filet mignon, which was cooked to perfection. The sides were equally delicious--we shared the risotto and creamy mashed potatoes, both of which complemented our meals wonderfully. Highly recommend the cocktail Mr Big.. Service was on point. The ambiance was very intimate. read more

The happy hour menu is incredible. Connor was our server and was very attentive. The hostess was also really nice and welcoming, didn't get her name but this was on Wednesday night. We got: The oysters Flatbread Hamburger Mussels Hamachi crudo Lava cake Everything was insanely delicious! The ambiance is gorgeous. We went when it was still light outside- there are skylights and large windows for a lot of natural light. Loved the hunting lodge vibe. read more

I've eaten at S&W many times and this was probably the worst Steak I've ever had there. We ordered the Milk Bread and Carpaccio to start and the meal was off to a fantastic start! The milk bread never disappoints and the carpaccio was a star. Loved it! The wedge salad was ok. A little over the top on the vinegar in the dressing. We both ordered the 14oz Ribeyes and this is where the meal went south. Both of us ordered the steaks Medium considering each were 14oz and I've had these before. Her's came out looking like a 14oz is Ribeye and mine came out looking like a Butcher Box 10oz flat sirloin. Cast iron pressed down on a flat iron skillet or cook top. I knew right away from looking at it that this steak was over cooked and well done. They offered to cook a new one. The 2nd steak came out the same proportion and honestly for 69.00 that was the worst re-fire I've ever seen. 1st they were not 14oz. As an industry professional I know when a kitchen is cutting costs. Something has changed at S&W. Steaks are cooked to Temp and then the rest and sit and continue to cook till they are over the temp you ordered. At least my impression based on tonight's experience. It's not hard to cook a ribeye medium! But the 2nd one was medium plus. By this time my wife was half way there her's and I was getting full on fries and did t want to complain again. Over char on the ends and not finished with butter. No salt on the steak. Thank god we asked for salt before they came out. Brooke was fantastic! We have had her many times and she always is polite and a great server! Tonight the steaks were different then before and honestly I was for the 1st time disappointed I ate at S&W Be wary of spending money on their steaks because they changed their meat sourcing. I can tell! read more

Quiet and lovely. When you walk in you forget you're in the middle of a beach town. We were greeted by the host and quickly sat at a table with our name on it. They spelled my husband's name wrong, a huge annoyance for him, but he let it go. Mina was our server. She greeted us with a smile and excellent attentiveness. I ordered the old fashioned and my husband a beer. They only had two beers on draft and other options in bottles. The milk bread is a must. You will thank me later. The honey and butter blend they give alongside the rolls is life changing. The spinach artichoke dip was good. The crustinis were light as air. He ordered the rib eye. I ordered the pichana. We were not disappointed. Their medium rare is rare. I enjoyed every last bite of my 6 oz pichana and would order again. I'm a filet mignon type of gal but this was great. We ordered garlic mashed and onion rings for our sides. They were really good as well. The onion rings were the best I've had in a very long time. Lightly breaded and seasoned with something I can't put my taste buds on. The dessert offerings were a plenty. But we were stuffed. See my pics below. read more

I forgot how awesome this place is. I stopped in to grab drinks before meeting up with friends. Connor is an amazing bartender! He recommended some great drinks! Ended up getting and old fashioned, paper plane, and Carrie Bradshaw from the drink list. Make sure you ask for him when you come in. Great drinks plus an amazing ambiance makes it all come together! read more

The food and service were excellent. Truly enjoyed the vibe. I had the scallop entree. My partner had the New York steak. ILana's recommendations were right on point with what we were looking for. The wine paired well with the entrees too. Will definitely be coming back to try more/different entrees. Didn't try the whiskey this time around, but will make certain to do so next time. Cheers to good eats and good vibes. read more

One of my go to places in LA to get steaks. The seafood platter is such a steal - packed with fresh lobster, prawns, oysters, and ceviche - probably one of the cheapest towers you can get in LA. My favorite steak to get is the ribeye (dressed) and it's usually cooked perfectly. Sometimes, they do come out a little too fatty to my liking. The restaurant is more rustic than typical steakhouses and it's not too dimly lit. The servers are always super attentive and friendly and have good recommendations. read more

Oh my goodness I finally found the best French onion soup in the South Bay! I'll probably have to go once a week for it now ahhhh! And the shorts ribs were incredible. The rolls were a little too buttery for my taste but that's personal preference. I'll be back soon! read more

Came here for happy hour so I can't speak for their other menus. The oyster was $1.50 each which you don't normally find anywhere nowadays. It was descend and tasted fresh but wasn't my type of oyster. Other food was descend on the happy hour menu overall. The margaritas were good though. read more

Food: 5/5 Ordered the grilled octopus, beef carpaccio and the baked prime rib. Washed all down with a bottle of red wine. Everything tasted excellent. Service: I had made reservations for 6pm on a Sunday evening. Upon arrival, I noticed there was only one other party seated. The man at the front didn't even greet us, which already gave me bad vibes. Our waitress was a bit better but given that we were one of the only ones in the joint, service could have been more attentive and friendlier. Hence the 1 star deduction. read more

I went to Steak and Whiskey for my birthday this place had been on my radar for awhile. The wait staff was exceptional from the moment I walked in the hostess was friendly and we were seated right away. My waitress was friendly and knowledgeable.

Lets start with what was good... The Octopus appetizer is a great tasting menu item. Worth getting. The service was really good and Bria was attentive and sharp. The drinks were top notch. The mixology is great to watch and taste for the cocktails. Now...what wasnt good...the food has no flavor or seasoning. Never had an unseasoned salmon before but this did it. My wifes spaghetti also had no flavor. I probably shouldve went with the steak ‍ read more

For dinner at home, I was excited to order Confit Duck Leg for delivery from Steak & Whiskey's menu. The duck came with potato gnocchi (another favorite!), brown butter sage, peach chutney, and broccolini. Unfortunately, the duck tasted old and a bit stringy, the potato gnocchi was hard and cold, and the chutney on top congealed over the crispiness of the duck skin. I choked down part of the meal and couldn't go further. Perhaps Steak & Whiskey offers a fabulous in-person dining experience - or perhaps I should've stuck with the restaurant's namesake steak entrees - but I would hesitate to order delivery from here again. read more

We love the food and ambiance, so we do our holiday celebration here once a year. This year, though, we realized after we sat down that the prices went up 50% from last year. 50%! Now, I know beef prices are up but that is ridiculous. Not only that, but they cut down the food portions. Not a great combination. Definitely check the menu prices before you book. I wish we had. And we won't be coming back. read more

We live nearby and didn't try this restaurant for years, partly due to the less than 4 star Yelp rating and partly because I'm not a big meat eater. I'm so sad we waited so long and trusted reviews from strangers on the internet. Steak & Whisky is great! We had a baby last year who has to be in bed early, so we were looking for a place to have an early dinner a few weeks ago. Most of our favorite restaurants in Hermosa don't open until 5 during the week and we're bored of always going to The Rockefeller and Hook & Plow for happy hour. The Steak & Whisky menu looked interesting, so we decided to pop in with our 10 month old around 4:30 two weeks ago. We had a fantastic meal with great service. We tried it again yesterday and had the same experience. We've ordered off of the happy hour and regular menus and everything has been delicious. They also have a variety of vegetarian and pescatarian dishes that are great for me along with great meat options for my husband. Some of our favorites have been the eggplant meatballs, scallops, shrimp cocktail and oysters. My husband also loved the happy hour burger and Beef dip sandwich. Overall, we highly recommend Steak and Whisky and I think we'll be regulars from here on out. read more

Everything on the menu was delicious. We stopped by for brunch last Saturday and had a wonderful time. The service was impeccable, we had champagne and ordered most of the menu (we were celebrating!)
