   Peppercorn sauce was bland. Very hard to have a conversation due to noise. Although piano player was great. Server was not enthusiastic. He described pork belly with one word - bacon. Wedge was great as was tuna tartar. Steak was not cooked to requested doneness. Though it was good. Overall would not go back.

   Our server was perfect but the pork chop I ordered was actually raw. Not rare but completely uncooked which can be dangerous. They refired it so it was good and gave us a desert on the house but still it was below expectations for a place of this caliber. For $49 for a pork chop I expect more.

   Service was interesting! 3 couples with large Seafood Tower—only 2 sets of sauces! No new plates for the Seafood Tower only initial bread and butter plates! But the seafood was excellent! Steaks were all well cooked but I think the flavor and char needed more refinement.

   I want to thank Justin for going above and beyond to ensure that our dinner experience was exceptional. His sincere welcome and excellent service made all the difference. Justin was just fantastic. He really understood the cuisine, made excellent suggestions for steak and wine, and valued our comments. We’ll be back soon and will definitely request Justin as our server!

   We had such a great night with the fire and ice appetizer really only for two people, great Caesar salads— and the lobster and filet mignon were fantastic. The big hit of the night was when we ordered three of the desserts the chocolate cake, the apple and rhubarb item and the cheesecake and the four of us left. Very happy.

   Tasteless, low quality food with Encino prices. Caesar salad was just lettuce, could not find any Parmesan or croutons. The sushi appetizer were smelly and the steak was tough. One star experience/value.

   Noisy, inattentive staff, expensive prices and poor food quality. Save your money.

   Our Server Jose was cool, brought our fries out late due to forgetting to put them in and We were given the wrong Mac and Cheese. They also ran out of bread and the server he was going to take care of us but didn’t. The host were nice but I had a reservation for 9:15 and didn’t get seated until almost 10pm. Didn’t received not one apology or compensated for having to wait for our table even though we had a reservation. For the amount of money you spend, you’d expect better service or think that they would at least have your table ready. I’d rate this location 3/5.

    I went to Larsen’s on my 6-year anniversary (2/14) and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. I understand that Valentine’s Day is one of the busiest nights of the year, but the service was lacking. My glass of water was covered in dust, which I didn’t notice until I had already finished drinking it. About 20 minutes after ordering, we were informed that they were out of mashed potatoes, so I asked for a baked potato instead—only to be told they didn’t have that either. To make matters worse, they were also out of bread. I’ve been to Larsen’s before and usually have a great experience, but this was by far the worst visit. Hopefully, this was just an off night, but it was really disappointing for such a special occasion.
