Best Steakhouses in Topanga

I dreaded going out on Christmas Day. The restaurant was very crowded and noisy. One screaming baby--why do people bring kids to good restaurants? The server Chasen was absolutely great. He was on top of everything and extremely nice and pleasant. The oysters were excellent, fresh and full, served well with sauce and lemon. The caesar salad was very good. The double thick pork chop with a chutney and a butter sauce was excellent. I did not eat the dessert, but it looked good, some sort of cherry thing with ice cream and whipped cream. We had a very nice table in a corner with windows. It was a bit away from the crowded center. It was a perfect experience for any time, but especially for Christmas Day. Dining at 4:00 was a good idea, but it was very full when we got there and showed no signs of letting up. Thank you to Chasen and Gabriel, his busser, for making our experience so good.

The Sanuki A5 Wagyu strip was phenomenal. On Christmas Eve too - thanks to the lovely staff, and all the more reason to indulge! The charred octopus was also deliciously exceptional. 5-stars for the experience

Fourth consecutive Christmas Eve dinner with family. Warm ambiance, staff, and overall great experience. Food is consistently good with outstanding service.

Mastro’s offers an upscale dining experience that’s perfect for steak lovers. The ambiance is elegant and inviting, with attentive, knowledgeable staff. The dry-aged ribeye was cooked to perfection, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a beautifully caramelized crust. Side dishes like the garlic truffle cauliflower and scalloped potatoes are a must. Five stars!

M&F Grill is always outstanding. The food is delicious and always prepared perfectly. The service is above and beyond any other restaurant. An absolute fabulous dining experience always.
