    New lunch menu as of 5/14/26
    Nico C.

    Says they're open for lunch. 12:30p on a Thursday and no one's here. Waited 10 min. How is their lunch offering going to be successful if they're never here?

    The Rex Seaside Steakhouse is an anchor in Redondo Beach--a true example of what fine dining should be. Every detail reflects meticulous craftsmanship, from the thoughtfully prepared cuisine to the grace, class, and genuine gratitude shown in the service, all within a beautifully designed setting. My fiancée and I first visited shortly after they opened, and we were immediately impressed--not just by the food, but by the exceptional level of care. Since then, we've become regulars. For me, attentiveness and attitude can make or break a dining experience, and the team at The Rex consistently delivers world-class hospitality. The staff go out of their way to anticipate your needs and make every visit feel special. Some of my go-to dishes include the Captain's Shrimp and Wedge Salad, the Tagliatelle (I highly recommend adding extra kale), and the Short Rib, which is outstanding. All of the steaks are excellent, with the Filet being a personal favorite. The sides are thoughtfully executed, and we almost always finish with the Butter Cake, which is the perfect ending. The Prime Rib, available Sundays and Mondays, is also something special and absolutely worth experiencing. The Rex continues to set the standard for fine dining in the South Bay, and it remains one of our favorite places for a consistently exceptional evening.

    A little disappointing... here's everything you need to know. Parking. Street parking (4 hour meters) is limited. No valet. There is a private subterranean lot with a few parking spaces. Ambiance. Very nice. We chose to eat upstairs where there is a really nice balcony with a nice view of Rolling Hills, however it was cold so we preferred to eat inside. Unfortunately, toward the end of our meal, they sat a party of 12 which was really loud. The other two-top seated next to us (the rest of the tables has been pushed together for the party) opted to move due to the noise. Probably should have just reserved the entire room for the party instead of seating us and another couple there. Menu. Disappointing. I was looking forward to having something besides steak but every single dish (besides the vegetarian pesto pasta that has no protein and the salmon) was made with heavy cream (which I cannot have). I asked if they could make the branzino with a different sauce or make the Risotto without the cream (traditionally, it's made with stock, butter and parmesan anyway) and the server told me all the sauces are premade and they can't alter them. For $300 per couple, I was surprised to hear that there is no chef making the food, just cooks who assemble premade items. I personally feel it's uninspired and a little lazy to just pump all your dishes full of cream. Yes, cream tastes good so the dishes taste good. But anyone can do that-- it's not inventive. I had the wedge salad and my husband had the casear. He said the casear was fine, but nothing special. My wedge was mediocre at best. Now mind you, if a wedge salad is on the menu I order it no matter where we are. This one was just kind of weird. The 'scallion ranch' dressing tasted like it's just sour cream mixed with lemon juice and some chives sprinkled on top. It's thick like sour cream because it pretty much just is... sour cream. I'm glad I ordered it on the side. The blue cheese and bacon (pork belly) was good on it though-- good quality. They drizzled red wine vinegar over the lettuce though which was not good. It just felt like they were trying too hard to put their own stamp on what is traditionally a fantastic salad and the experiment failed. We both ordered the filet mignon, a side of potatoes (which were served with that 'scallion ranch' aka sour cream and were delicious), and brocollini which was just average. The steaks were excellent though-- perfect temperature, great cuts of meat. My only complaint is that it was oversalted so I had to cut the crust off because all I could taste was salt. A lot of people wouldn't mind this, but when I'm eating a really good steak, I like to taste the actual meat. Wine list. Great wine list. The individual glass pours are small though-- they are pouring five glasses to a bottle instead of four. Service. Okay. When I asked if particular dishes had cream, he kept having to go back to the kitchen and ask. I was surprised that a restaurant of this caliber isn't training the staff to know what allergens are in the (limited) menu. Prices. Overpriced for what you get. The price of the steaks were on par with other restaurants of this caliber, but everything else seemed overpriced. Granted, we'd just eaten at Spago the week before and for about the same price got better, more inspired food. Bottom line, if you just want a great steak and good wine, this place is a good choice. I'd suggest asking for light salt though as it was pretty heavy-handed. If you have allergies or are under the impression you can alter the dishes to remove something you don't like, don't come here. If you're looking for a diverse, varied menu, don't come here.

    Prime rib and martini nights only on Sunday and Monday nights

    A dear friend of mine brought me to Rex for my birthday dinner. On Sunday nights they have Prime Rib and martini night. She knows how much I love a great martini and prime rib! A nice Birthday card signed by all the Rex workers was at our table when we were seated. It's nice to have a high end steakhouse in Redondo Beach, although there's been a number of them in the LA area including the South Bay. We both ordered the Queen cut prime rib, with creamed spinach, Yorkshire pudding and loaded baked potato, along with garlic bread. We both started off with martinis...one vodka, slightly dirty, dry for me, and my friend had a gin martini. It's nice that the martini is served with a full glass, and also a jigger over a bowl of ice. The garlic bread was perfectly grilled. The sides are definitely meant to be shared by two people. The baked potato was loaded with bacon, green onion, sour cream and butter. It was huge. The Yorkshire pudding was okay, Lawry's makes the best. The creamed spinach was better. My prime rib had a huge piece of fat on the side. Definitely smaller than the Lawry cut prime rib. I was presented with a birthday dessert which was ricotta with assorted berries. Nice touch. Our server was friendly and attentive. Sorry I forgot his name. Rex is a nice upscale restaurant for a nice date night or celebration.

    P.S refer to pictures My family and I went to Rex for dinner. Some of the dishes are good, some little bit too flavorful with the salt where I had to scrape some off. I personally like their Tartae appetizer and recommend it. The ambiance was classy, the server was splendid in accommodating me and my family. Overall we had a nice time.

    My husband and I came here to celebrate his birthday and our love anniversary, and it was the perfect choice! We chose this place since one of clients recommended it. The steak was absolutely delicious--truly top-notch--and the sides were just as amazing. We were greeted with complimentary champagne upon arrival, which was such a thoughtful touch, and before leaving we were surprised with sweet rum shots that were so yummy. For dessert, we had 3 different kinds but the butter cake?! OMG! Lol as someone who is very particular about butter cake (it's one of my favorites), I can say this one was outstanding and definitely satisfied me. Our server, Francisco, was wonderful--attentive, kind, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the night. If I could make one small suggestion, it would be to add an additional server after 6 PM since it does get quite busy. One thing that really impressed me was the menu--it actually lights up when you open it! Such a unique and clever touch that made the dining experience feel even more special. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we will definitely be coming back here to celebrate another special occasion!

    The food was incredible, South Bay has no shortage of great steakhouses, so we went in with high expectations, and this place absolutely delivered. We ordered the bread (must have, no question), bluefin tuna, tagliatelle, wedge salad, ribeye, mashed potatoes, and butter cake - every single dish hit. Upstairs on the 2nd was the move. You get a great view, but the vibe is way more relaxed. They had March Madness on the TVs, which made it feel fun and easygoing without sacrificing the quality of the experience. The first floor leans more classic steakhouse, but upstairs strikes that perfect balance between elevated and casual. Service was also dialed in, they reset our table between courses, which is a small touch but makes a big difference. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to. Thank you!

    The aftermath lol

    We ate here some time back. I was alerted to finish your review, which kept popping up on Yelp. My friend and I came here a few months ago. Street parking only, and inside and outside seating. We did not have reservations, the available seating was at the small counter bar in the back overlooking a liquor wall. The decor was typical of other restaurants and simple, nothing stood out. Though it did not appear to be busy, service was slow. I overheard the bartender speak about how the upstairs was keeping him busy. This explains how we were sitting in front of him and the service was slow. We ordered drinks and the Octopus for a starter. The octopus was served on the cold side, not appealing. The drinks were weak, not sure if the alcohol serving was miscalculated but weak. I should have paid closer attention. We ordered a steak for our main dish and the Branzino. The steak was overcooked, and the Branzino was cooked differently than I had before. Ask questions before ordering it. If the waitress even knows how it's cooked. Overall Rex's Seaside fell short on food quality and service. Sadly to say, we will not be back.

    I came here for my 40th birthday with my husband and my daughter (9 month baby). The service was amazing! Our server was above and beyond. I recommend this place for anyone who wants to celebrate their special days. Wagyu steak melt in my mouth.

    Grilled shrimp and their sourdough bread, so good!!

    Everything right down to the service was amazing! Everything was delicious and you can tell the chefs take time and care with the food they prepare. Definitely will be coming back! The appetizers were delicious, the Kansas City cut cooked perfectly to our request! The desserts were delicious as well . After we went to their cigar room and enjoyed after dinner drinks and my husband a cigar.

    Cute little spot in the South Bay Area. I thought this restaurant would have the Mastro vibes but completely different, you can dine in with shorts, hats, white t-shirt, and sandals. The decor was cute and almost on point. Service: it was okay, our waiter was not that attentive as I would expect since they are wearing suits. He was nice and friendly. Food: everything was delicious other than the dessert. If you like steak I would recommend the ribeye and for seafood a branzino. The butter cake was overcooked and they added so much caramel on it, so not get the panna cotta was very cottage cheese, meaning the texture and the taste was even bitter. I like the free birthday dessert they gave compared to what's on the menu.

    The ambiance is top notch and the service is above and beyond! The food is prepared with attention to detail and you can taste the effort. The staff is very friendly and professional. Still a really fun time !! If you look into the history behind the name of The REX, it an interesting story of Redondo beach of the past.

    Wow! Just wow! Went here on this past Monday and the food is honestly amazing!! It was my first time here and I'm sold. Our waitress Angela was amazing! It was my birthday and she made me and my friends feel like family. The ambiance inside is amazing as well. I honestly cannot wait to come back. Even all the sides were amazing as well. Our whole party tried each others foods and just amazing.

When I first started coming here, the smallest cut was only $25, which felt like an incredible deal. Prices have gone up over the years, and it's now $37 for the smallest cut, but even with the increase, it's a place I continue to return to because the quality and experience have remained consistently good. I always order the prime rib medium rare with the soup and French fries. The prime rib is consistently delicious, flavorful, and tender, with a rich beefy flavor that really hits the spot. It's cooked just the way I like it, and every visit reminds me why I've been coming back for so many years. The portions are generous, and the meal is satisfying from start to finish. One of the things I appreciate most about this restaurant is its classic atmosphere. The interior feels like a step back in time, with an old-school charm that is becoming harder to find these days. It has the feel of a traditional steakhouse from the 1960s, and the nostalgic vibe adds a lot to the overall dining experience. It's the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy a good meal, and appreciate a piece of local history. There is a parking lot available, which is definitely a plus, although it can be surprisingly easy to miss if you're visiting for the first time. Just keep an eye out as you're approaching the restaurant. While I miss the days when the prime rib was only $25, I understand that prices have gone up everywhere. The fact that I've continued coming here for six years says a lot about how much I enjoy the food and atmosphere. If you've never been and you're a fan of prime rib, this is a spot that's well worth checking out at least once. Chances are you'll find yourself planning a return

I called many times to make sure…read morethey were open, but they weren't picking up the phone... so we took by chance and visited here and it was indeed open on a holiday. There was only one main server taking orders, serving, and cleaning up, so she was very busy. She's definitely rushing all over the place. The restaurant is quite small, so expect a wait when it does get a bit later. We came around 5:30, just 30 minutes after they opened and we still had to wait a bit after the first wave of customers. Once we were seated, we decided to order the American Sliced Beef Don (small size) and the gyutan plate. We were uncertain if the beef don would be good so we went with a small, but wow we should have gotten a large cause it was so good! The beef was extremely soft and the sauce all around tasted really good with the rice and all. The beef tongue was also pretty nice, but a bit tough for me, wish it was more soft chewy! Although, overall flavor was really nice. The beef don especially was really good. There's also a Arcadia location but the prices seem a tad bit cheaper here. So luckily we stopped by at this location to try it for the first time.

    Not knowing LA has Red Rock and I've been wanting to try this place for like forever. Seeing one of…read moremy friends posting it and got uberly excited that it's available here. Tons of the reviews mentioned great things about it as well, so no wonder when we reached on Saturday lunch time, there were around 5 people on the wait list. It fortunately moved relatively quickly especially as we're willing to take counter seat and there were only 2 of us. The venue did have decent amount of seats, but certainly would be tougher for bigger group. Their signature dish was certainly the Sliced Beef Don, yep that one that looked like Volcano. We got it with extra raw egg topping. Along side, we got extra Chicken Kaarage. The beef was juicy and tender, but the flavor itself mostly was on the rice given the sauce was more mixed into the rice. It was luscious, but probably I set too high of expectation that I wasn't like blown away. In fact, the kaarage got me hooked more with unique batter coating and super juicy chicken. For the prize, the portion was pretty generous and I could confidently say that if I came back, I would doubtlessly order this again.

From the friendly service & classically decorated dining room to the delicious food. Everything is 5-Stars!! On the most recent visit we were celebrating my Sons Birthday. We both had the Churrasco Experience which includes all you can eat from the Market Bar and a continuous selection of over 12 fire roasted meats brought to your table. As tempting as it is don't fill up on the Market Bar because one easily could and be happy. TIP: Join the rewards program for great discounts. This time we had half-off one meal & a free desert! The also have a great cocktail bar with a large selection of Brazilian cocktails. I had a Strawberry Hibiscus Caipirinha and my Son ordered a glass of very good Chardonnay from the solid wine list. Mine was so good I had to have a couple LOL After eating soooo much food, special shout out to the pork belly w/ honey drizzle & the lamb chops, We were confronted with the choice of any desert from the menu. I strongly recommend the Cheesecake Brulee which one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had! There is valet parking at the door and free validated parking in the structure next door. No street parking is available.

    It's the last day for Black Angus Torrance! I made one last visit a few weeks back when they were…read morescheduled to close on June 21. I was pleasantly surprised to see they got an extension to stay till July 11, This place has been a staple of the South Bay for over 50 years and I literally grew up just down the street from here. I remember wondering as child how it was to dine here but it wasn't until I was in college a few years back that I finally got to try this spot out. It's been a go to spot ever since. I've been here with family and friends for various celebrations, occasions and even dineLA (see previous review). I will miss their dine LA specials, Prime Rib Wednesdays, Black Angus Wagon Wheel samplers and Campfeast Dinner for 2. It was always a treat to have their Sky High Mud Pie and their Chocolate Chip Cowboy Cookie for my birthday. I do hope the Torrance location finds another spot. They have been such a big part of the South Bay story and it would be wonderful if they can continue to be part of the Torrance.

    Went to Black Angus this past week for their Martini…read moreExperience. First, I was very saddened to hear that they were closing this location. I hope they find a new location soon. I'll jump to the end real quick because this is important .... no fault of the restaurant but in the parking area (I parked far enough so that my car wouldn't be hit by anyone) and some bozo still managed to swipe my entire side front end of my new car. Jerrrrrkoff move of the driver but I guarantee you that karrrrma is going to come back ten-fold to you. What comes around, goes around so I'm not worried about a fish being served cold to you, soon. Ample parking; however not great drivers. Everyone had 7pm reservations and the establishment did great in getting everyone to be seated in an orderly fashion. The staff was welcoming. One patron decided to be the a h o l e of the night and cut everyone in line as she believed she was entitled. Many people were upset with this. Totally understandable. The lady ended up going to the bar with her husband and friend. She is an embarrassment. Again, no fault of the restaurant. We had a great team who worked beyond hard and provided great service. Leo, Candy and Savannah were the main host and cocktail artists. Our server was Thomas. I believe we were so lucky to have him. He provided the utmost exceptional service. I'm all about great customer service and he was excellent. He definitely made our night. My sister and mom had made reservations and my husband and I had another reservation. We were able to sit together. Our daughter came but did not order since she was Keto and did not want to break her ketosis. Kudos to the chef! Everything was savory, heavenly and exquisite. The experience came with; 1st course: Deviled eggs, smoked paprika, crispy bacon, crispy potato chip 2nd course: shrimp cocktail, house cocktail sauce, basil aioli Paired with a limoncello martini featuring Grey Goose Vodka ENTRÉE: Top Sirloin au poivre, mashed Potatoes, grilled asparagus, brandy cream sauce Paired with a cucumber martini featuring Grey Goose Vodka DESSERT: Berry crème brûlée Paired with Key Lime Pie Martini featuring Grey Goose Vodka The price was very reasonable. I loved the limoncello martini and cucumber martini. Grey Goose is my favorite along with crème brûlée so I knew this night would be a good one. Thomas, is such a delight. We hope to see him again. We are astonished by his great service. His attention to detail all the time while providing excellent service with a smile. He was so friendly and made sure we and others were taken care of. This Torrance location has been one that we have come to since I was a little girl. It's really sad to see them closing but I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing all of these lovely workers at the new place. The restaurant has an old school western style and feel.

I've written reviews before for this place and yelp just never posted it. I think the app was having issues. Everything here is a 5/5. Some may say the price was too much but this is better than Fleming's. Service is always impeccable. Eclectic taste. There has to be a bigger word for Delicious. Classy, sexy and elegance with great tasting food and great vibes and drinks. We love this place. Lots of great memories. Chef Daniel Godinez is amazing. The food is sooooooooo yummy. The Martinez is a delicious vodka drink. And I love my vodka. Their filet Mignon and prime rib are to die for. The sauces that they add to any plate satisfy your palate. Their shrimp appetizer and guacamole is CHEFS KISS. oh let me not forget their tomatillo salsa ... omgggggaaaaahhh!!! Mouth watering. Place is a hidden gem. Should be a lot more packed. I think people are trying to keep this place a secret because we see many of the same folks lol. I guess we're selfish lol. But this place can literally be party central We've come here ever since they opened a few years ago.

Once seated a wonderful server comes to get your drink order and you have time to read the menu. The service here is great. They take good care of you and clearly want you to be happy and comfortable. The food is just the best. We have been a few times now. We love their mussels and all of their seafood. Their steak and lobster is prefect. This is fine dinning so it is pricey, but it is all worth it. They have a full bar and a nice wine list. They have anything you might want for dinner. Their tacos, beef or fish are amazing and we love their salads. Our favorite are their steaks. Cooked exactly as ordered and some of the sides are great. Any steak is great and as a group we had tried them all. Their filet is my favorite. You will love this place.
